Looks very shootable to me. Keep 'em coming.

Imagine dolphins trying to forge metals without furnaces, and without hands for that matter.

When a country has almost limitless, almost free money, this apparently is the type of project the society's elite think is enlightened.

At first, paralyzed folks will be able to communicate poorly, then better and better. Then they'll be able to control robotic arms very well. As this is going on, the links to thought processes and senses will become more and more nuanced. Blind people may very well be able to walk down busy streets, their eyes being one or two cameras hooked to the internet or the brain interface. More interesting stuff happens... Then, in about 20 years, every kid will be able to talk to every other kid in class, and it'll be impossible to keep kids from cheating on tests. 3D worlds will become completely immersive, kind of like Lisa Simpson's kid. But society will probably have broken down about then.

If the money that has been spent on alternative fuels had been put into fusion power, we'd already have it. But, that'd upset the petroleum overlords I guess, so make tiny steps in another direction, and glorify that.

I was afraid that I'd see a majority of people supporting this nonsense. As much as I would like to avoid capital gains taxes for this stuff, basing the economy on bitcoin is goofy. Sadly, there might be just enough people who own a bit of bitcoin to make a difference in an election.

I made stuff in the 90s that's still in ActiveWorlds. Cool to go look at it once in a while.

I mean, given the title, isn't this more of a screwdriver than a bomb?

What do you mean "We", paleface?

going to Mars.

Folks divorce every day. None of my business. Not worth the effort comment further. Next topic...

Please don't demean cupcakes by comparing them to whiners. It's pastryiest.

If she had used the security protocols like she was supposed to, the Russians likely wouldn't have been in her server. And had she done that, she might not have been emailing the sensitive information that should land her in jail.

What difference, at this point, does it make anyway, eh Hillary?

loony tune. The world is full of them.

The only reason I read something with a headline like this is to see what kind of boneheaded assumptions these "scientists" (are astronomers automatically scientists?) make. The idea beings millenia or epochs ahead of us can't travel faster than light is stultifying. Let alone, that they haven't figured out how to communicate in faster modes.
