We just need a giant metal spike that jams into the backs of our heads to feed our brains the proper electric signals a la the matrix.

But you'll never take my 127.0.0.1

Look at hot-rodders. Does it make sense to rebuild and blueprint a1939 flathead v8? No. It makes absolutely no sense at all. Yet people do it. Because it is their passion. Does it make sense to spend $600-$1000 building a custom water cooling loop on my home pc? Nope. I still do it though.

What do you use one for? Why all the hype? What would the average face book addicted soccer mom need one of these for? 3d printers sure are trendy, but they lack a "killer app".

1. You don't know how to properly use the word irony. THAT is ironic. 2. You must be one hell of a credentialed climatologist in order to come up with these untested/unverified/unsourced theories while sitting at your computer on slash dot. Have a nice day.

And yet, here you are, as an AC no less.

So then the solution is to send the entire population of earth (who will all die from the radiation) + all the cars (which can't run without oxygen) +all the other greenhouse gas producing structures to mars, and then wait for a couple thousand years for the gasses to build up. Seems legit.

You need to drink some water and go take a nap.

Gah. You beat me to it. So here have some mod points! (i don't have any mod points sorry)

when corporations abuse their authority there is NO WAY to push back

What authority do corporations have that I do not, since they're considered people? (apart from billions of the only votes that count)

Could you imagine the types of crazy bullshit that would occur in this country if it were a TRUE democracy?

mud slinging = broken political system? I think the fact our politicians are bought and sold=a broken system. That they call each other names is just human nature.
