Well, sheesh - you named the robot "Stabby"... what did you THINK was going to happen?

Sounds like it's a mixed bag for all browsers (I'm mainly referring to the comments):

You're setting a pretty high bar there...

Theora Jones was somewhat older than ten, though.

Or maybe it's a riff on the old Amazon Mechanical Turk.

I got an invite from Google to participate in this, as I imagine a lot of folks here did. But it seemed like they were basically asking me to spend my time and effort mainly towards helping Google expand their brand...

Except installing Wndows on a Mac costs you a piece of your soul...

I think our university uses that same damn system. There's been a few instances when the doors wouldn't work because the the card controller got infected with some virus.

Parents are paying the electricity bills and buying the computers.

I agree with you completely - I just don't think it's going to happen during my lifetime.

I don't trust the back-end of the wagon to be completely water tight. Heck, I just recently had to drain water out of one of the taillight assemblies (not kidding - and I do still own my username's namesake).

On the plus side, I could probably leave a big expensive hard drive in the back of the thing... no one who looks at that old beater will suspect there's anything of value inside.

So the pilots where blinded after they clawed their eyes out?

"Air" is also a single point of failure, then. As is "metal".

That's basically what I do - except instead of walking it to a neighbor, it's an encrypted drive I put in a cabinet at work. Updating it every month or two is good enough for our home stuff.

I'd go for this - or even what the Car Talk guys referred to as "double dog daylight savings" where it's a two hour jump (but year-round, I mean).

As it is, during the winter there is a period where I leave for work while it's dark and return home afterward in the dark. To have at least a little daylight left at the end of my workday would be nice.

I hate to break it to you, but not everyone lives their lives indoors. There are even some people who willingly participate in different outdoor activities where having ample/additional daylight in the evening is beneficial - sports, gardening, whatever.
