why the hell are lasers for headlights the next logical step? i think everyone agrees that headlights all do their job adequately given the limitation of not being allowed to completely blind oncoming traffic. the next LOGICAL step (assuming we are trying move in the direction of eliminating visibility issues/unknown elements from nighttime driving) should be to have some kind of sonar/radar device that can detect and relay a warning to the driver...maybe by having a terminator-esque translucent LED screen overlay on the windshield that would highlight things out of range of the regular headlights (eg: deer getting ready to pop out of the forest). if BMW customers are willing to pay for frickin' laser beams then surely they'd pay for this.

...in world population mean for humanity and for the the planet?

It means we're all fucked.

but i bought the wrong kind of RAM the first time i attempted to beef up my computer. i somehow managed to jam it into it's slot on the mobo and turned on the computer. there was a brief couple of seconds, then the smell of burned plastic. that was the end of my first computer, which my dad gave to me in 2nd year of university to use for writing up papers and doing research etc, not for gaming. oops.

whatever man, as long as we're still the center of the universe.

I saw one of the TV announcers for the Toronto Raptors chatting on his cell phone when it loudly rang in his ear. guess he was one of the 13%.

on one hand, we have the companies that sell the products that are most likely to cause global warming funding the research that conveniently finds no evidence of global warming. on the other hand, who is funding those finding evidence for global warming? hippies?

being a lab scientist, that was painful to read. the explanation of the treatment is borderline gibberish. i've read better biology research reports by high school kids.

too late. this is clearly the hit song "Imagine" originally written and recorded by Avril Lavigne.

"OTOH, I can see Watson being immensely useful on the back end."

Totally. Doctors hate having to look around back there, it's gross.

an intellectual: someone who does not whip out their phone in order to answer questions beyond the scope of "hi how are you?" or "how 'bout that weather?"

"I want freedom to eat non-GMO food."

You have that freedom. Grow your own veggies. Eat 'em.
