Beany Babies? Oh yes, those little stuffed animals that some adults were spending upwards of thousands of dollars on to get a "rare" Beany Baby... These days I can't go to a garage sale where some sucker.... I mean individual isn't trying to pawn them off as if they were actually worth more than 99 cents a piece.

Comment Re:Generation Gap? (Score 4, Interesting) 209

Only during the early TV years did everyone seem so honest and wonderful. Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons and about a million other goody goody TV shows makes the newer generations think that life back then was so golly gee whiz good. There never was a Mayberry and people were just as dishonest then as they are now, the internet just allows us to see it more often.

Comment Re:Did Zuckerberg ever have to get past HR? (Score 1) 716

My GF's daughter goes to a certain BIG RED college in the midwest. One of her biggest complaints is that she's never met most of her instructors. The tenured instructors end up having disposable H1B teach the classes. Most of the time the students can't even understand the H1B "teacher" due to heavy French, Indian accents. It's hard for the students to actually think if they can't understand what they are supposed to do.

Comment All automated car scenario (Score 1) 604

From what I can think of, an all automated car scenario would have a lot less issues to deal with vs. a partially automated scenario. Automated cars don't have the "need/urge" to speed, change lanes and speed by because someone ahead is doing 1/10 of a MPH slower than them. Automated cars will most likely have sensors that detect when a light is going to change, it should also detect if something is stopped in the road ahead of it so it can adjust speed/lanes etc and be able to transmit this information to other vehicles. What does need to happen is all automated car manufactures need to be held to a strict set of communication standards which allows say a Ford Autoauto to talk with a Toyota Autoauto.
