I got 6 out of 6 correct. But, I do not ever phrase things the way they are in the tests linked above. For the people I write to, the logic here of using semicolons instead of commas wouldn't help them comprehend these long sentences any better.

Starring: Blah Blah Dinks or is it Bar Bar Blinks? Actually the best spoof for Jar Jar might be to 'not' mock him like every other character but instead portray HIM as the legitimate, wise, powerful master that saves the day with common sense and adultness.

Hypercard was kind of a forerunner to Visual Basic with a Document based theme. Add buttons, fields, menus, graphics. you could place these items in the foreground or background idea of a stack, meaning user could then add new cards which shared the same background elements sort of like making a new row of a database but in graphical form. on top of that, you could copy binary functions into the resource fork of its stack, and then call those functions from its simple scripting language. Those add-on functions (XCMDs) ment you could do almost anything in a stack. It was fun to copy those extensions into your stack from vast libraries of third party created functions publish on AOL(years later). In some ways its ability to link from page to page with interactive content was a precursor to the web and AOL before it existed. I wrote a hypercard stack that was like AOL instant messenger for our school's local network.

Don't forget that people are getting stupider, so for the roles that do require a human, we will need more of them. :).

You perked up the ear of every Mac fan on Slashdot by mentioning Bungie software and Marathon! While I did play Doom/Quake/Quake2/Unreal. I spent more time in Marathon Infinity than all the former combined becuase they included their map editor so anyone could make your own 3d worlds. This included all the switches, triggers, doors, and logic that you could setup Like HalfLife for that existed.) We would then play all those custom levels as LAN games over localtalk/appletalk/ethernet. Who needs regular deathmatch when you can have Secret doors, crushers, enemy spawners, transporters. :) So what do they call this new Marathon? Marathon infinity +1. Ok. Im reading the article now.

How can it weigh 34000 times the mass of the sun in an area only 40 moons wide, and not be star or black whole? something doesn't add up. :)

I ban my kids from playing roblox, just because of its stupid malware like insistence on running at startup, restoring its loader if you disabled, restoring its shortcut icons all over the place after I delete them. This malware/crapware if it ever existed.

Jobs to support the plant, maintain robots, deliver goods, and all the other loose ends that will still take some time to be supplanted by robots will come to the US. This 'will' bring some jobs both directly, and second order. Thats always better than nothing. Then there are all the other benefits of more secure supply chain. And when it comes to electricity, Arizona has no shortage of Solar. and the US has no shortage of Energy options or materials when needed. Your concern about energy is valid point, it does need to be primarily clean energy to run all this AI stuff, (same case with bitcoin). While the US can easily produce energy, which includes wind, We need some reasonably competitive production of solar panels for domestic use. even if those are also robots.

Thats not what the article says. They are making the actual chips in the US which is the hard part. Building the rest of a computer: PCBs, resisters, capacitors is not a problem and can easily be done domestically. "Entirely within the US" may not include the supporting components, but that not an issue. This is good for both the US and for TSMC, it gives TSMC options to stay on top. While it's true that staying only in Taiwan has some protectionism benefits from the countries that depend on them thats certainly not a proactive approach that will last for the scale of time they need to stay on top.

When the G3 first came out with an edge due to backside cache, I proudly displayed an intel inside sticker on my Pencil Sharpener. Thats what I think about when I see the old intel marketing. And of coarse us Mac user's first real intel processor was the Core series right after P4 and G5 were using Nuclear reactors and liquid cooling systems.

Cool, I want a USB key with this hack plus the PPC version of WindowsNT installed. (another recent achievement)

I wont let my kids play Roblox because every time they play the thing I have to delete all the crap that launches when I log in. I don't need a Roblox daemon running on my computer. what the heck for?

Home Alone, because when you are the same age as the lead character it bugs you when parents love and laugh at a child putting on aftershave and having a stupid reaction that doesn't match what a child that age would do.

It seams blatantly obvious that the developer who said "thin blue line" was talking about enforcing computer software consistently and nothing to do with what the author chose to make a metaphor to speak out against. To read a subject in context, and then bend words around 180 into something that offends you just speaks to your difficulties in basic comprehension or in actuality was just the poorest attempt ever to try to justify his rant.

who cares, I refuse to use any websites/webapps, that only work with Chrome. I don't even have it installed. I mostly use Safari but will occasionally use Firefox. If it don't work with either of those 2 options, I find a different company that knows how to make webpages/app work with web browsers.
