“innocent ppl r getting shot everyday”

This seems normal...for Florida.

CBS Training Day (the TV series) was incredibly good. Bill made what would have otherwise been a turd, shine brilliantly. Then he kicked the bucket.

I think the real reason the big telecoms are laying down their own fiber (finally) is because they realize that paying Level 3 for backbone Internet access via transit agreements is not in their bottom-line’s best long-term interest. When you have to pay upwards of 1 cent per-GB in overage rates, that adds up pretty…

Here in America during the cold months, we have substations and squirrels. A squirrel will find a nearby substation to be nice and toasty warm. They will make their home in it. Then one day something will make them spaz out and they discover the joys of death by electrocution. Of course, the rest of the town gets…

I once owned a 1990 Pontiac Bonneville with all the features including a sweet heads-up display that showed me my mileage and fuel left. You eventually learn to subliminally absorb the information presented from the heads-up display as it reflects off the window instead of being distracted by it.  The fact that it has…

“The Earth is a giant magnet, with a north and a south pole just like any magnet you’ve ever played with. But the Earth’s magnetic field plays a vital role: It field helps to prevent powerful solar particles from destroying us.”

The problem with automation is money. People have to eat and pay the bills. If we reinvented what money equated to in the process, I see no problem with AI eliminating jobs. Who actually wants to work a dull day job? No one. That’s who. If we can automate everything, maybe society would value the arts again.

“There is no such thing as a newspaper without a copy desk.”

Meh. Kiva is a better organization. A small, low-interest loan is a better investment and you don’t lose anything except time with your money.

Yes! Replace Super Castlevania IV, Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, and/or Super Punch-Out!! (all silly games) with Chrono Trigger (an awesome game).
