When we have sufficient energy (either through efficient solar harvesting or new types of fusion power, or whatever) to make flying cars feasible, the technology will eventually catch up and make it possible.

The way I see it, that technology will include an autopilot capable of navigating and coordinating with other vehicles.

So yes, I think there will be a time when we commonly use flying cars. No, I don't think people will actually have to steer them in 3D.

It's been done with OpenTTD. It's a remake of the old Transport Tycoon Deluxe, using open source code (reverse engineered instead of released by the original owners, but that's not the point) and the original graphics. For those who don't own a copy of the original game and thus don't have the right to use the graphics, there's an open source package file.

Sure, it's probably a lot easier to create a graphics pack for a 2D game than a 3D game like RTCW, but this still opens new doors.

Also, you're both wrong.

They say it's based on an old experiment where they DID test "more testosterone" against "less testosterone", which yielded results that allow you to say something about testosterone.

What they did, though, is an experiment that tests "younger and more testosterone" against "older and less testosterone", which does not allow you to say testosterone did it. It could also be the age difference, and as long as you're testing two variables against each other simultaneously, you'll never know which one causes the effects. They could have tested young CEOs with lots of testosterone against young CEOs with little testosterone, but they didn't.

Adding a large tub full of water to your car probably doesn't save any energy at all. If you do try this, see what it does to your gas mileage.

All while reserving the right to take the lead in depleting the world's oil reserves without paying out the nose for it. You know, this is the reason some people don't like America(ns like you).

There's a difference between malfunctioning alarms and very sensitive alarms. If there's a tiny little problem that could turn into something (even remotely) potentially catastrophic, it needs to be fixed. If people ignore it, that's because of a bad safety policy or being dangerously understaffed. Both of these are easily fixed if capable people are in charge, and both of these are inexcusable in this kind of environment.

There are still civilians working on those platforms. This time, fortunately, none of them died and only one got injured, but we should think about the people living on these big exploding metal buildings.

Your lights are beeping? Neat!

Someone who's in marketing recently told me this story, which demonstrates the most important aspect of marketing: target audience selection. Disclaimer, before I continue: marketeers don't usually go this far.

You pick a random stock. You then send a letter to 4000 people saying this stock will rise, and a letter to 4000 other people saying it will fall. Wait two days, see what it does. Divide the 4000 people who got the right prediction into two groups of 2000.

Pick a new random stock. Tell 2000 people it'll rise, tell the other 2000 it'll fall. Wait two days, see what it does, repeat with two groups of 1000.

You now have 1000 people who have received three consecutive correct predictions from you. Remind them how much they could have made if they followed your advice in the last week, then start charging them for stock market advice.

Why would you leave out Sunday, just because the USPS doesn't deliver mail on Sunday? It's still technically a day, isn't it?

Wish I had mod points right now. Your post is Interesting, Informative, Insightful, and Well-written. Given the declining quality of English written on /. these days, that last one merits extra karma by itself.
