What is...

There are just so many things that are hokey about this story.

Happens all the time to people that open random emails and follow unknown linkys.

Good grief. In other news, let's talk about "chemtrails"!

Nor do I, but the mere existence of spyware on someone's computer even a "journalist" is not evidence of Three Letter Agency spying. I'm *not* saying it didn't happen, but both stories referenced in the write-up sound very paranoid without a lot of (any?) hard evidence of government involvement.

Haselton earned a master's degree in mathematics from Vanderbilt University, and created and operates a significant First Amendment website. I'm sure you have similar credentials? Why don't you tell us about it?

WHOOOOOOOOSH!

Coleman stoves use white gas (or unleaded works fine), and gas is quite explosive under certain conditions.

Which only damns you more.

This is really some of the greatest space engeneering being done. Blue Turd or whatever Amazon's playboy is calling it is a non-show vanity project are none players, but Space X and Lockheed Martin / boeing have it going on.

Yes, that's the way space travel is done...

You're an idiot, right? Or maybe a 17 year old with limited brain power. Grow up.

I think this is terrific technology that has a great potential to help old people both now and in the future when you and I will be old.

It all seems a bit "hoaky" now, kind of on the interesting side of lame, but remember, this is how ideas start out: A basic idea that has to be developed.

I'm 50 now, which makes me a decrepit old man by Slashdot standards, but I expect to have a "helper robot" when I retire in 15 years.

That's fine, when you get old, just make due with your aluminum walker thing, and a cane. If you choose to be a Luddite, why should I stop you.

I just have to ask: How old are you? Seriously, your opinions come off as very juvenile. Which is not to say you are a juvenile, you could very well be an adult with juvenile opinions. Which would be sad.

The city most certainly can define who has access to city owned utility poles. Siply a fact...

You're an idiot, right? A complete moron? Seriously, are you a homosexual or something? Did your mother drop you into a fine man's ass? Seriously, dude, get a grip.

Go fuck yourself as you GET OFF MY LAWN.

My main issue is if they allow cell phone use in flight - an entire plane full of people yakking on their phones, it'll be like going to the movies.
