With only 5% of the world's population, the U.S. can only expect about 5% of Americans to be born here.

So did Spider Robinson. Go read "The Time Traveller" in Callahan's Crosstime Saloon.

Transplant shock.

Just make sure to leave Sinanju alone. Don't want to piss off Chiun.

I'm pretty sure sony ships out it's films via network to the theaters these days. When a new release comes out, and they dump a terabyte or so to a few thousand theatres... 100 TB could easily be missed or ignored.

Glass is a nice thing. It's also frustrating as all heck in it's limitations. I want the text on all the signs I read auto translated for me - and overlaid in such a way as to hide the original language text. I want to see the arrows on the ground/roadway showing me where to turn left, not get a tiny message up above my field of vision.

I want it to give me full on AR, not just auxiliary information.

Me, I'm hoping that Meta can get the price of these down a bit: https://www.spaceglasses.com/

They have rocks. And space. That should be enough...

He was off by 3 years. The year that September never ended was 1993, not 1996...

Add any security camera's at the club resulting in it being a child porn factory....

Minions and a giant hamster wheel hooked to a generator.

If minions are in short supply, can always put a pig in the wheel. (Might need to swap pigs out every few hours) - but, you save, cause the wheel can be smaller.

Um - You've just described Santa Claus.

So - a crew of mostly females and Tyrion then? Sigh. I'm betting there is an HBO writer working on this right at this moment.

Countries are rebuilding cobblestone roads using Nokia's instead of rocks to get an increase in durability. Me, I'm wondering how many of the 9 reported bent phones were bent by people who wanted to try to see how strong they were, only to discover exactly how much force it needed to bend.

Why go to 401 ppi? So they could fit 1920x1080 into that size of screen. If you want users to stream HD video to their phone, having sub-hd resolution isn't going to do it. You don't want your phone to be 25% bigger than the already huge size of the 6+ to meet those display requirements. (326x1.25 is 407 - close enough to 401)

Given how bloated web sites are, and the move away from mobile to full desktop web sites, yes, our phones need all the horsepower they can get.

Having kids can eat up a lot of your spare time. While I realize this isn't a problem for that many slashdotters, it has been known to happen to the occasional software developer. Suddenly coping with family can look a lot like burnout, especially in the early years.
