"...And what does she do in the first year or so meanwhile?"
They eat for almost free in the University Mensa by showing on the menu they want to eat or they write the numbers of the menu items on a napkin in Chinese restaurants.
For the rest, just substitute 'ein' for 'one' Beer, Vodka Tonic, Manhattan, Harvey Wallbanger etc
"You get elected in 1990 to a term that doesn't count for term limits because there are no term limits, then term limits get added and your 1994 election does count towards your limit."
So if the driving age is lowered to 14 year 'terms', it applies only to people who were born after the law was published, because previous year 'terms' don't count?
"More and faster."
Yes! Kill all those selfie-ing motherfuckers, everywhere!
"But ok, fine, next post will have three videos. But I'm sure you'll find something to complain about this as well."
Just give us a way to filter this crap out, like we do with the videobits and we're OK.
"Or does it just stare at you stupidly because using ways to give you directions means nothing if it doesn't recognize the homophone."
There ain't none.
"There's a reason I only used Skype when forced to. "
Forced? You mean when you are to cheap to pay for a phone call.
""Electronic communications" is the term used in the USA PATRIOT Act itself and was intentionally vague to cover everything from the telegraph to whatever gets invented in the future."
That's why I went back to messenger pigeons.
Exchanging birds every week is easier than setting up PGP.
"I do of course realize that your comment is a joke. But I will write a serious reply in any case:-)
I am pretty sure that large parts of management will be overtaken by computers."
You got me. And you're right, a 4 bit calculator could do the job.:-)
"What job is hardest for a robot to do?"
Obviously management.
All that yelling, the ignorance, the incompetence, the rudeness, the anti-social behavior, the complete disregard for the feelings of the employees is hard to duplicate with software.
"When will Firefox OS be getting this functionality?"
They'll get tabs instead.
My work is 'transformative' as well, when I re-encode blue-ray disks to
It's called a droud, people.
Wireheads will be the new junkies, no need to leave the house or meet a dealer, just plug it in.
"What could go wrong!"
Louis Wu, is that you?
"They are controlled by radio which can be detected."
Remote control drones perhaps, autonomous ones not so much.
There is technology that can detect where a shot was fired miles away, (in noisy cities) they are working on shooting down cannon and mortar ammo with or without lasers, and those are in the air only a very short time, I doubt that this will be a problem for a long time.
Put detectors in every street lamp together with a computer controlled minigun and the kids will lose their toys quite rapidly.
If I recall recent and not so recent posts, Australian ministers don't get a lot of things.
The cost of feathers has risen, even down is up!
