@Curves: werk!

@MrRainMan: I disagree. Perfection can only be attained through relativity. I challenge you to find an organ that does the human brain's job better than the human brain.

@Craigpt: not without my permission?

The problem with relating genetics to bits and bytes is that there is a great deal of redundancy.

@lostarchitect: That's exactly what I said....

@El Zorg: These types of comparisons make me vomit. It's like saying one race is less successful because there are less CEOs. It's useless, pointless gibberish.

@RomanForest: how on earth is that a double edged sword? Maybe for the ego of some schmuck who paid 2K for a soft lens.

First off, single speed fixed gear bike? With toe clips? What market are these guys even considering? It would HAVE to be tourist/bike-enthusiast hybrids. Those are the only people who need a bike, and would even want this death trap.

@frigg: our thoughts exactly

I suggest that all of my dropped calls are due to apple censoring m conversations. Too cute. Too sexual. Too .... get a life.

@hawkeye18: I've thought about your idea for aprox 4.5" and I think it's actually quite awesome. If you're not already an engineer, become one. If you haven't decided to become a science microblogger, it would be a great hobby for you.

50 ccs? You're insane...

@shinjukuDLJ: 300,000 NEW home sales in the month of June. Yes, obviously mcmansions are still popular. Anything pre-owned however... nope.
