I for one look forward to our radioactive robot overlords.

Seriously, if the Japanese are very good at something, it is finding a reason to build robots. Maybe the fallout will be better robots.

No one wants to punish people for victim-less crimes. We just fall prey as a society for the giant enforcement and correction industry and can no longer differentiate between what is actual crime and what is a money-making scheme.

Class extermination is the only true vice of the war on drugs. Which is why Meth has the worst reputation at the moment. Meth has brought lawlessness to predominantly white communities and turned them into drug-based ghettos. And heroin use increase in white communities is a result of controlled prescription drugs restrictions where people with real problems no longer have a safe venue to manage their pain or their addiction developed by improper administration of the pain pills turns them to the black market.

Not once I was ever prescribed pain pills was I given a plan on how to safely come off of them. Once the pain went away, it's like I hit a wall at 40 miles an hour. Fortunately I was able to handle that but a lot of people can't and they end up unable to live a safe life.

I like the announcement on the Tokyo bus to the city.
"Do not use mobile phones as they annoy the neighbors"

They also had seatbelts.

So civilized....

Breathing only oxygen is dangerous. Oxygen is toxic at high pressure.

With the device described here you'd still need a tank with nitrogen or helium and then you're back to having a device similar to a rebreather where you have to carry and mix your own gasses, which is extremely dangerous and even experienced divers get killed by it.

Now this technology is not completely useless and could enhance a rebreather by allowing more bottom time if it can be used to refill the oxygen tank or something on that line.

I was contacted by a recruiter from Oracle for a position that I was perfectly qualified for and I never got past that interview because according to the recruiter my previous job at a major US corporation didn't pay me enough to qualify me .....

Haha, funny. I grew up in Romania and fried chicken blood was one of my favorite treats.

Selling is not part of the mission? You forget to get lawmaker approval you have to generally play to the lowest common denominator.
Those people are mostly in their positions because they were able to sell themselves without actually having any skills.

Yeah, but Ferrari doesn't make cars for Nascar circuits. Try flooring it on a very windy road.
I wonder if any street-safe ferrari could make you pass out from the G forces in the future.

This awful system would turn all any situation where someone would be cut off due to a blind spot into a sure accident.

They labeled it horse meat and sold it as such. The UK importers decided to mix it with beef.

You forgot transportation! They have a bus getting them to their housing! And it runs on schedule!

If xerox transforms it to 68, they owe you one!

Detroit is not a state, it's a city which managed to shoo all its manufacturing jobs away. Now Massachusetts is going to shoo all jobs away to India.

I had a iPhone 4 which was decent, and thought that it did everything I would ever want. Then I updated the iOS and switched providers, at which point I could not unlock it so I had to get a new device, and chose the S4 over the iPhone 5 which has an outdated OS interface, charges an arm and a leg for memory upgrade (64 GB is not worth 300$ EVER), has no SD card slot, doesn't allow for the battery to be flipped so that I don't have to worry about running out of battery and no charger available nearby, has only "family friendly" apps, has an outdated camera, a narrow awkward screen, doesn't allow me to copy files over the network, text input on the keyboard has to be done by continuously clicking, requires iTunes, and I can't play videos on it unless I get them from apple or use some bloated annoying software on my PC to convert for it.

the iPhone size is awful. Can't read books on it easily. My S3 and S4 perform that function beautifully. Scrolling through pages with the thumb is a lot nicer than having to hold a tablet and mimic an actual book.
