If only there were some way they could WATCH their employees remotely......any ideas anyone?

The last (and I mean /last/) time I hailed a cab it was with an app called Taxi Magic (now Curb). After 40 minutes and a muffled unintelligible phone call from the driver, I got back on the app and saw the little GPS icon of his car had gone to the airport instead of picking me up.

A friend accidentally left her purse in a Lyft car. Clicked one link in the confirmation email, which started a text conversation with the driver, who promptly brought it back to her apartment. Try that with any taxi service.

The Universe is just becoming more energy efficient! Think Earth Hour but on a universal scale

I,for one, welcome our new spider overlords.

How did a "news for nerds" poster fuck that up? I work in a planetarium, so I get asked this question daily.

I work at a museum where we have been running an adult program called MOSH After Dark (Museum of Science and History and yeah I know that sounds like a Cinemax show) for a few years now. Usually "adult level" topics but that ones that sell out that quickest are Home Brewing and How rum is made (you get to make your own rum flavors and get to have 1 liter of it) It's mostly 20 to 30's year olds and is very popular. Since I work in the plane arium I'm happy they don't have us run shows for them. Laser crowds are already halfway gone I can only image a totally buzzed entire theater. I'm sure our clean up staff would LOVE that.

Oh, but NASA's PR says it will be just keen to watch Perseids with a SUPERMOON in the sky. ::facepalm::

we're going to drive a car!

Maybe where you are. For me, at three miles south of a state capital's downtown core, DSL can't be had at any price.

Jonas, what sort of pixel dimensions are we talking about on an equirectangular projection?

If they had the technology to build Dyson Sphere they would also know that their parent star won't last forever making the build a complete waste of time and resources. As someone else stated if they follow Darwinian evolution and wanted to grow and spread out then they would simple leave their system for another one. Again if they had the tech to build it they could leave way easier and cheaper. (Time and resource wise)

Thank our CmdrTaco overlord. Slashdot introduced me to a unbelievable amount of time wast....information. I am not a programmer, coder whatever you call yourself but have benefited from reading articles and even rants. So thanks!

can't wait to see for the BSOD on that.
