I thought of the conversation problem as well.

I haven't seen this car up close, but if it keeps to the same proportions to the front seating area of the Mini Cooper, I can actually fit into it. I cannot fit into a Miata. Long legs and Japanese compact cars do not mix.

Is the monkey available to run for President?

So the music industry actually has growth in music sales the same year that digital/downloads overtakes physical media. I doubt this is a coincidence.

Ignoring the flaming going on with other commenters, I would offer this:

Or, perhaps, at least give us a free digital copy with the BD.

Of course you're right about that. But it probably would not need to be the most advanced aircraft in the sky.

I generally agree with your sentiment, but in this case I will agree with Jesus that the billions are better spent on developing drones and the tech behind it that would allow real time communication with trained pilots.

Who's access is guaranteed?

Imagine that if a lot of people really think the world will end, they will all avoid buying christmas presents. Then when the world doesn't end on the 21st it will be a mad scramble for four days to get everything bought for the holidays.

Hey, any excuse for a party.

No way. What he did was theft. That is absolutely criminal.

That is also not unique to drone pilots. All combat pilots have difficulties with confirming kills unless there are spotters or other troops on the ground.

So, you watch that movie about twice every month?

Well, most banks actually paid back the government with interest, so we didn't really lose money on the TARP programs. There are some that did not pay it back and do not exist anymore. But, I did read a while back that TARP actually pulled in more money than it paid out in the bailouts due to the interest payments.

Nicely said. I get so tired of hearing all the complaining of the very people that provide the jobs and actually pay most of the taxes in this country.

Not terribly faint. More like overt damnation.

No, you are correct.
