R + L = "poop" -> brilliant!

FTFA - "The soap bubbles—formally known as functionalized catanionic surfactant vesicles—are made of a combination of soap-like components that have an affinity for each other and spontaneously form capsules when mixed together." I think they mean to say micelles; they just needed to fancy it up for the patent apps, board meetings, and press releases.

Got my official "see you later, dude" email today. quick takes:

The Good:
Display was quite good.
No visual acuity problems for far-sighted eyes
Good for hands free access to your phone

The Bad:
Terrible battery life
Poor public image
"Google vs. Apple" crappy tactics i.e., poor iPhone integration [We are trying to break new ground, why do we need that sh*t involved?]

Very good point you make here regarding old vs. new testament. I wish more christians got that point.

Ethicist should weigh in. If robots have no sentience, they would not know that killing was different from any other task. As creatures who value self-preservation (most of us anyway) we don't kill because we don't want to be killed. I assumed always that our self-preservation came about because we have consciousness. A robot without self-awareness could follow a rule but would not have any internal feelings about that rule. Without those feelings, rules alone won't work. Philosophy majors take over this discussion...

well done sir.

no, just Venus

Uber? Bus? Metro? Train? Ride share?

you insensitive clod!

Aha, so it was not the global warming that caused their extinction but the human sacrifices. Got it!

1) No concrete evidence that a Sovereign County hacked into Sony, but POTS says he thinks they did anyways

2) Movie is probably total piece of sh*t anyways, who cares?

3) Even if NK did it, it is not an attack on US but a foreign corp with some US holding, but still a Japanese company, why don't they saber rattle instead of us?

4) The whole thing could have been PR stunt from Sony to advertise the movie

5) Why didn't POTS just tell Sony "get your sh*t together, improve your security - tired of this crap, dayum!"

Can't wait for the network coverage.

+1 on "adjust background color"

I changed my page color to sepia, and dim the brightness quite a bit. I like this better then the white on black inverted look.

You've never driven in heavy stop-n-go traffic on the freeway in SoCal then. I have seen cars so smashed you could not tell what the make or model of the vehicle was; sadly I saw a fatality just this summer, a mother and her kids on I-5; people just don't realize that drivers will slow and change lanes to take the exit at Camp Pendleton Traffic will back up there all the way up to the freeway lane.

Not sure why you want to believe that a rear-end accident is nothing to worry about.

We still have them in North County. Vista is notorious for them, especially around the courthouse on Melrose.
