Comment Re:"Robot Maid" has so many connotations (Score 1) 317

How could it not be the overwhelming favorite?

Oh yes I would break warranty in a second and would be elbow deep in her parts in five. Inuendo jokes aside, I would love taking one apart and figuring out how it works, it would absulutely be months of fun. After figuring out how they work people would start modding them, no copyright would be safe! this poll has inspired me I am now going to be daydreaming about robot maids for the rest of the day. Sure flying cars are great and would be lots of fun but they seriously can't compete with having your own robotic maid to do, well eaverything for you.

Comment Re:You Should Buy First Edition Hardback Books (Score 1) 415

Shopping in bookstores is pretty much the only kind of shopping I enjoy. Browsing for ebooks isn't quite the same.

I agree shopping for books is definately the best kind of shopping and books look great on shelves. Maybe one day when I am rich I will be able to furnish a personal library and lovingly arrange my books as they deserve. Until then they are very cumbersom and their impact on the environment should be considered. That said I do think I take greater enjoyment form shopping for and reading paper and ink books. Reading certain genres in e-book format is more fun though especially Sci-Fi and Cyberpunk it makes me feel all futuristic.

Libraries take too long and you don't get to keep the books, if you want to read a book again, you have to actually go down to the library and take it out again. I used to buy books from my local bookshop (Exclusive Books) but my bookcase is now overfull and book were starting to pile up on my desk and bedside table so I decided to give e-books a chance, I use my smartphone, at first it was hard to adapt, now that I am used to it though it has made reading easier. I do most of my reading during my dayly comute and not having to carry around a heavy book makes things a lot easier. Libraries are unfortunately an out dated model, having to go to a library to get a book I would have to take back just takes too long. I like being able to have a wide selection of books with me at all times so that I have something to read no matter what my mood is. Many authors also have books available for free download (William Gibson, Cory Doctorow etc.) and some books are no longer in print but can be downloaded. I don't think Libraries should be forgotten about, I just think they should be digitalised and archieved after say 10 years Online libraries should be allowed to add books to their archieves, with the option to be printed and delivered to your doorstep or downloaded. For my two cents however I recomend a tablet, they have a wider range of uses and can read multiple formats or convert useles formats to pdf's or whatever you choose.

The trick is to cultivate a bad reputation so that people don't bother you unless they have to. This can be done by not always answering phone calls and not replying to messages as punctually as you could have to make it seem as if you are uninteresetd in comunicating outside outside of emergencies, you can then slowly "allow" certain people to get close, this will make them feel like they got you to open up, which makes them feel good about themselves and gives you a good place to start building relationships with people you actually want to comunicate with.
