I don't want them using my buildings, elevators, stairs, appliances. Robots are second class citizens, and they can build their own hovels at the outskirts of town!!! This water fountain is carbon based only! :D

And you STILL can't reset your PSN password OR register a new account. Maybe they will get this award next year too, at the rate they are restoring services.

What a pile of fail.

Using IGNMAX as a test, roughly 200g per dollar, and market prices change daily.

I'm over reading all these stories already. How about I just get in line to let them embed the microchip, swab my cheek, barcode my ass, gather a stool sample, map my brainwaves, embed cameras in my retinas and install the collapsible satellite dish in my urethra. I mean, I AM ok with this.

As long as they use Linux.

Live free or die!!!!

Other than all the advantages the OS itself has over Microsoft, and is available to all users, not just creative ones. (desktop management tools that MS is still catching up on, unix based os, far superior gui, etc,etc on and on...)

If the US can't be the most powerful economically, it will attempt to retain its power through the military.

The only reason I have even ever heard of it was because I came across it when doing research about some of the free standard tools in Linux. Most notably gcc. I saw that it came from the GNU site and they had a link on there about HURD, which looked a lot like its own whole operating system. I asked myself why they would do this considering Linux seemed to be the OS and GNU seemed to contribute the tools. I figured I would maybe try out their OS, only to find that it didn't really exist (at least not in any useable form).

That was about 11 years ago.

Am I the only one that noticed "NAKED LADIES" on the news bar to the right of the screen at the start of video? I have the whole internet at my fingertips and I'm thinking "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NAKED LADIES???"

Maybe we found another universe....

"I have reached the Gateway to another Universe. I feel awed and strangely humbled by the momentous solemnity of this occasion..."

"HEY OTHER UNIVERSE! BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS!"

I am totally jaded. When I see something like this I read it as "NASA calls press conference to remind government and people they are still here and need money, because what they do is really, really cool". Of course, I agree too, but I would be surprised if there was really any kind of life found. Prove me wrong NASA! I, for one, would welcome our new alien-insect overlords!

Didn't mean to indicate that one type of person should go through and some shouldn't. Just that it will be way worse for some people. They shouldn't do this at all, of course, for so many of the reasons others have posted.

I know you are trying to be funny, but what about transgendered persons? If a trans-female walks through one of these things (pre-op), should she be subjected to the questions that will bring up? It seems like an unnecessary and humiliating search.

I worked in infosec for a fortune 100 bank. That is exactly how their program was run as well. Not that they specifically discriminated against people with CS degrees, but they just didn't care enough to hire that way. I got into the department through various re-orgs and when I ended up on that particular team they asked me if I wanted to do forensics. I said sure and I got wisked away to encase training where I learned how to point and click my way through the app and use a hardware write blocker. I do have a solid background in computers with programming and Unix knowledge, but I certainly don't have the hardware level knowledge that a real forensic investigator needs. It sure was fun though.

I did some looking around to see what kinds of things "real" forensics investigators reccommend for credentials and yes CS is one of them, but I'm too old to start over again in undergrad. It looks like with a few certs and a decent resume you can get hired in the public sector.

Perhaps cheaper, I would not say easier. Depends on where you live and who you count as friends and acquaintances!

Not necessarily. I had a job interview as a web developer with a dev team and one of the sites I had put together was a World of Warcraft guild site. They asked to see it which then turned into a 15 minute conversation about WoW (and the usual player protocol: "What Server do you play on", etc). I did get an offer!
