We can only hope. But yet some people are actively trying to get the public to submit: http://www.slate.com/id/2275681/

I'm pretty sure Michael Knight mostly wore tight jeans. Actually very sure.

This guy might be wrong, but I don't think he's a troll. Fuck's sakes.

Ya and often those modified items are worth a lot less, that's right a lot less. I'll never again buy someone's stupid modified car, I don't care if it was done "professionally". This reminds me of the fake commercial on the radio of Grand Theft Auto 4 where that muscly guy (I think his name is Brucie) talks about his car modification shop wehre he says they take super cars designed by world-class engineers and modify them to make them worth a lot less. Tha'ts right, a lot less.

And not available to Canadians.

I don't get why you didn't post using your real name. Why be an AC?

Yeah, well your country makes it difficult for clean-as-a-whistle professional people like me to get in for a convention, so I don't htink this is unreasonable.

Or maybe you're just jealous.

In Canada we take this especially seriously, and our provincial associations will go so far as to take a usurper of the term "engineer" to court to require them to change their title. The bottom line is that the public is meant to know that they can trust the professionalism and competency of a real engineer. You count on us to design things which will be safe. And to claim you are an engineer (network, petroleum transfer, etc.) is misleading to the public in the sense that you understand the ramifications of that public trust in doing your work. It's not meaningless.

And to the hoser below, regarding train engineers (drivers), they are specially exempted because it is a time-honoured tradition for them to be called engineers, and everyone knows what it means, so there's no problem there. Thus we can call them engineers, and we all know that it doesn't mean quite the same thing as a professional engineer. Unless they have an engineering degree.

Well I thought the Matrix movies were all pretty good, and that the first one was one of the best movies ever made. There were a few moronic parts, like in the second one when that old chancellor guy was talking to Neo about how old men don't make points anymore. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Made no sense at all. Generally, sequels are never as good as the original and the Matrix trilogy was no exception to that. But they weren't horrible. The second and third movies were really one movie, split into two, just like Kill Bill.

Anyway you guys are right, that they should have left the part in where human brains were jacked into the matrix mainly for the purpose of providing computing power. Makes more sense than the food-thing.

Your post reminds me of the classic Star Trek episode where Captain Kirk is on trial for allegedly killing that other officer, and Spock defends Kirk by showing the court how the ship's computer log was faulty. He proved that you couldn't trust the computer log and that how could the computer be his accuser? Can't remember the details but you know what I mean. I also cna't remember the name of that episode but it was a good one.

And by coming up with new "diseases" to treat. Like Restless Legs Syndrome. What the fuck is that? Yes sometimes my legs feels restless. BUT YOU CAN CURE IT BY GETTING SOME FUCKING EXERCISE! People just want to be super lazy and just sit around on the couch, taking whatever drug they need out of the toolbox to "cure" whatever ails them at that moment. I have an uncle like that. What do you got? Mildly constipated? Try one of the 3 treatments he has in his medicine cabinet for that. Or maybe it's a slight headache? Try this, or this, or this...

Meanwhile, the drug companies are focussing on long-term diseases, like depression, because they can then hook you on their drug for life. This is why there are few new anti-biotics released, according to a doctor friend I have.

And who says sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet?

Hmm, I read most of that stuff too. Gave up about 10 years ago as it was getting to be too much.

Anyway this announcement reminds me of the South Park episode from last year, or the year before, about the new Indiana Jones movie. With George Lucas and Steven Spielberg butt-raping Indiana Jones. This new sitcom is all that this is about: raping the franchise for whatever more profit they can squeeze out of it and dumping the carcass.

What an awful idea.
