And you'd have endermen and creepers instead of the BSOD.

The Republicans have blocked every good treatment so far so why should we expect their kind to allow this?

Choke on the barbed cock of Satan, asshole.

My wife just died of breast cancer this week -- she did not live to be 40 -- so articles and research like this give me hope that, when our child grows up, cancer will not be something that takes people's lives away from them so quickly and so young.

Mine passed a year ago last Saturday of uterine cancer; she was 33. You're probably feeling absolutely gutted right about now. Things will improve slowly, but they will improve. Just yesterday, I was looking through photos for something to illustrate a fundraising page for a run benefiting cancer research. I got a bit choked up on an engagement photo, but that only served to tell me that was the picture to use. Those kinds of things will most likely keep happening for a long time to come...probably forever, at some level. They'll come along less frequently, though, and mostly around things like birthdays and anniversaries. Keeping busy—with work, friends, hobbies, etc.—might help; it seems to have helped me out, at least.

Well, that's exactly the whole question; how reliable and solid can such a thing be with current tech, especially without raising the price out of reach? It's just another thing under control of a cheap consumer grade microprocessor. If it actually works flawlessly and as intended, great.. if not, the false sense of security could cause even more accidents or fail to allow someone to defend themselves.

That reminds me of the saccharin studies in the '70s. Anyway, I could've been more clear before, the study I consider most flawed was the acne one.

I'll take this with a grain of salt. Many years ago, "they" said the same thing about chocolate and greasy foods regarding acne breakouts. It was pretty evident to me and every single person I've ever known, including my own dermatologist (back in the day) that this was totally off-base wishful thinking, and the old "myth" was absolutely correct, whatever the biological mechanisms involved. The study was seriously flawed.

Except when announcers refer to Surfaces as "iPads". Then Apple is getting a hell of a deal. :-)

Well honestly, IT is one nerd niche, amateur astronomy is another. I can believe it.

Republican/Democrat has nothing to do with it. God I hate election years, and the year leading up to them.

OMG.. dammit, I can't mod you funny because I've already posted here.

Can you provide a citation for that? I've known a few guys that got busted for minor possession, not a one resulted in even an overnight jail stay.

Totally agree here. Jail should be for violent offenders who are a physical danger to society. That said, what do we do with the Bernie Maddoffs of the world?

But... I suppose something like Life360 would kinda cool, or someway to track your kids if you're at a large park and want to keep tabs on where they are in case they get lost .. or worse.

There's a huge honking difference between someone taking a casual photo or video in public (and remember, you are out in public, not private), and following you around all day. The latter could be legally be construed as harassment, or possibly even assault, among other things.

Intent is the key thing, here. If they're all over your shit, then yes they're overstepping their bounds and harassing you. OTOH if they're simply wearing google glass at the same cafe you're sitting in, you've no right to shut them down, you're judging them guilty until proven innocent, which infringes on their rights. It's a free country, what right have to you to deny someone else to take a video of their environment when when all concerned are out in a public place? In a sense, their eyes and brain are already doing the same thing, it's why we have eye-witnesses testify in crimes. I've never yet heard a criminal defense say, "that witness had no right to observe and remember my client's actions in public, he didn't give them permission".
And how can you defend the citizen's recording of police if you're going to shut down citizens who record in public?

Well, that 78% is still multiple types of beverages/flavors, and there's still 22% of the company that isn't just beverages.
But in any case, doesn't matter, if a one trick pony is very good at that trick, it's valuable.
