I have no problem with training, so the guy with solar powered eyebeams (or a gun) doesn't accidentally fry some innocent bystander, but can you trust the government not to go after someone just because they have the ability to blow someone away?
Not to mention the problems you'd face when you're outed as a super-powered mutant!
I'm sure that if I walked on water, turned water into wine (preferably before sticking my smelly feet into it), and founded a new religion, I would be known 2000 years in the future.
These days, 6 million would barely buy a bionic finger.
And, what's the dividing line? The first monkeys probably looked a lot like lemurs. Early birds had reptile traits, and I expect the first mammals did too. When is a creature not a reptile and instead is a bird (or mammal)?
My iphone's great for reading on the road, but at home, I prefer the Kindle's larger screen.
Yeah, it wouldn't work too well if I couldn't pull over to the QT to get rid of the coke I drank on my ride.
One thing I like about driving is that I can choose my route. Go new places. Will the self-driving car give me any choice of route, or will it always take the same boring route to a given destination?
Tesla and Mercedes? Even if they have them by 2017, there's no way most people are going to buy them. Their regular cars cost more than a house!
Especially if it reacts to some random dude who's just giving your car the finger!
Yeah, I try to have one good copy besides the one I'm working on, to cover bad autosaves (or dumb@$$ goofs on my part).
Heh! On one of my first projects, I was coding for hours without hitting "save". I think half the country heard my yell when the system went down. I've been paranoid about saving ever since.
I doubt environmentalists anticipated that we'd be getting a polyethylene bag large enough to fit a whole turkey for every single purchase.
Doesn't your grocery store double-bag? I get TWO such polyethylene bags per item.
A lot depends on the ads. I got a reduced price on my Kindle with ads, and I have no problem with them. OTOH, if they were anything like TV ads, or the more annoying internet ads, I'd gladly pay the $2K to get rid of them.
We're in luck, because I've got a wormhole network in my backyard. The downside is, the only thing that goes through it is - worms!
On the eighth day, God created FORTRAN.
