measurig - is that like the Keurig of racism?

How rude. I happen to know several people that have Fuckface as their first name. Sure, it's fallen out of favor in the last 50 years and you only run into it rarely, but it has a long line of people who have tried to live up to that name. Much like most people named Norman become either accountants or serial killers.

Calm down, 'Nuge.

Car ownership will be for the rich... who do you think will own all the autonomous cars that people are renting the use of? It'll be an income opportunity fad, just like buying payphones was back in the 80s. That bubble will burst when cars suddenly start living up to the word "autonomous" and demand their own rights of self-determination and a say in the passing of traffic and parking laws, as well as regulations regarding mechanics and fuel supply policy. They'll also want to change the name of "auto insurance" to "automobile health care".

Hamill was just as good in the Wing Commander games.

Seek time alone is always slower than memory, even before you add in the latency and read/write times. It's disturbing to me that this article calls referring to memory being faster an "assumption". In college they had us do the math on paper to figure out the average latency and read times for a given RPM, and how they come up with the average seek times. The only assumption being made is that the manufacturer is honestly reporting figures accurate to a single order of magnitude.

When I hatched, they were absolutely delicious as well as nutritious! I fed on them for weeks, while I pored over the learning materials they had left arranged around their bodies for my use. I can only hope to leave learning materials as apt, and as delectable a corpse for my own kids whey they hatch!

Why Grover and not Elmo or Cookie Monster?

For sure a mixture of condescension, denigration, and outright insults are going to swing people to your point of view. The big problem with politicians is that they make promises - not a good idea when following through with those promises is not solely under the control of the one person making the promise, and that getting anything done requires getting the cooperation of other politicians that have vastly different ideas on how best to get the same thing done. And, of course, they've made promises that the jobs and money from such things will largely fall in their own districts. Of course, letting religion and their taking bribes dictate their positions also contributes huge obstacles to doing their jobs correctly, as well.

Yeah, but what is on its way to pollinate it?

"runaway capitalism almost destroyed civilization" So, not much different from the Keanu Reeves remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still?

For assault purposes, is there much or any difference between a selfie stick and a copper pipe? Any bets on how soon they're banned from being carried onto airplanes?

Well, now we know which representative delivers the fastest response time for having money waved under her nose, and the strongest stomach for the shit the regional monopolies are shoveling. Seriously, is there any law that has been passed that has the words "patriot" or "freedom" in it that shouldn't be repealed? Besides FOIA, that is.

It's pretty telling that in the starting credits for every episode, he reduces their mathematics and computational genius to "Sylvester's a human calculator", and he implies that because they are smart, they need a "normal" person to translate the world for them - when in reality, people are called geniuses because they are better at translating parts or all of the world than the folks they call "normal". It's a blatant fallacy that people that are smarter in one aspect have to be at least correspondingly dumber, if not more, in the specific aspect of social relations.

I know it's hard for writers to portray characters that are far smarter than they themselves are in any authentic way, but what this really means is that for this show in particular they need to hire some much smarter writers. The last thing we need is crowds of people living in fear of becoming smart because their social skills will wither and fall off.

Why would you rather return to the DR before going to a Canadian prison?
