Why the fuck do you need select people BEFORE you've even proven you can put robots on the planet.

So you can pipeline training the people with the robot work?

(Don't get me wrong, plenty else seems scammy..)

The best idea would be irradiation, but people are illogically afraid of it.

Make something as yummy _and cheap_ as meat, and I'll eat it. You're probably going to argue that it's due to water subsidies or something, but at least the various "meat substitutes" are all ridiculously expensive compared to real meat.

Yes, plain vegetables aren't.. but they're not as yummy..

Many of the crops grown in California don't require the climate. They are grown there because farmers can do year round harvesting. Otherwise you wouldn't have many of the items you like in the supermarket during the winter months.

Do you have specific examples? You do realize that many things come from other countries, e.g. grapes from Chile.

Do we know for sure that they have "lost" their memories, and haven't instead lost the ability to access the memories? At least the cliched "they sometimes remember their kids" moments seem to imply the latter.

Computer analogy: The hard drive's still there, but not plugged in.

Car analogy: The gas tank's full, but the fuel line is plugged.

As long as Spotify is paying the licensed amount, Universal has no say in it.. until the next contract negotiations.

(I generally don't use ANY of these streaming services, btw.. because of the ads and limited amount of skips.. in THEORY I'd love to find a lot of new similar music to what I have, but I seem to usually already own the various things it thinks are similar to the bands I choose.)

Yeah, such legislation would almost definitely be unconstitutional; but some sort of legalist slurry, similar to the one that made 'obscenity' mysterious-but-constitutionally-unprotected, would almost certainly have been emitted and might well have worked.

As long as it didn't actually ban anything, why would a labelling law be unconstitutional?

Also, it only covers 'indecency', not 'obscenity', which you used, but most people don't realize that the FCC's power to restrict content on OTA stations (basic cable & satellite are _voluntarily_ following approximately the same standards) between 6AM to 10PM. Late nights, your stations _could_ be airing indecent stuff if they wanted to.

While the PS2 had a completely broken Z-Test

What is this referring to?

Is it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z... ??

If so, can you give a real world example of this being used in a game?

Ooh, which ones are the God of War clones?

The computer you're posting from isn't something that anyone _needs_.

You need water, air, food, and shelter.

Absolutely not.

In theory, I want people to want to vote.

But hey, if you're too lazy/stupid to vote, better for me, since my vote then "matters more".

(BTW, I purposely don't vote on a lot of things, from propositions I don't know enough about or care either way, or most local political votes.)

Why should news organizations not have to pay the fee anyway?

(BTW, the FOIA is available for _everyone_, not just news agencies..)

"Apple Keyboard". The ADB keyboard that originally shipped with the SE.. through an ADBUSB converter.. (I'm typing this on a Retina iMac.)

I'm also using a Kensington TurboMouse through the same adapter.

They said *competitor*.

..and maybe their lungs, eyes, and kidneys to *current* generations?
