As long as you aren't a victim of Tax Identity Fraud. My taxes are rather complex, my wife and I have used TurboTax for years to deal with them, until this year. When we went to file, we go the error "Spouse's Tax Identification Number has already been used". Yes, some idiot had used her SSN to already file before the first week of February.

So we had to file by paper, notify three other agencies, put a hold on her credit, and call the local cops to get a tax refund this year. NEVER tell me that identity theft is a victimless crime.

The best part of Star Trek for me was when Motorola came out with the StarTac, and I realized that in three generations, science fiction could become science fact.

BTW, since I need to give up my keyboard in the next generation anyway, can anybody recommend a hard plastic flip cover for a Samsung S5?

We'll also assume you're not interested in continuously updated images of empty ocean.
 
I think the families of Malaysian Flight 370 might have something to say about that.

One concept- on station floating wifi.

I'm not the one who is anti-conformist.

There's absolutely no reason left not to do it.

"No, the ideal is the abandonment of man's authority over man."

Which is still conformity to an ideal.

"Then let's make sure everybody is treated the same, under the same rules."

That's an ideal I can get behind, but you can't- because that would be CONFORMITY.

" I was simply being a bit more pragmatic in a world where people who see equality as a threat to their privileged status and lifestyle want to take us back to the dark ages."

The Dark ages weren't so bad, but then again, as a post modernist, you can't possibly defy the conformity of your own prejudices to admit that.

What's so hard about "If GPS or Cell Phone Tower location reports speed greater than 20MPH, turn on car mode"?

It's rank conformism to an ideal, and thus is against your ideal of anti-conformism.

I do. Actually, slightly higher at the moment.

Having said that, one specialty in programming and Software Engineering would benefit greatly from CSci students having some experience with help desk work: User Interface Design.

Everything I know about User Interface Design, I learned in my first two professional jobs where I had direct contact with end users.

Any nuclear fuel that is dangerous- is also nuclear fuel that is still fuel, that is, still giving off energy. What we really need is a way to recapture and recycle that energy.

You mean cut off from *cheap* road transportation. The correct response to such a problem is to develop new technology.

What is wrong with ocean farming? Kelp is a wonderful food source.
