I don’t much care, or need a fully autonomous vehicle. But as someone who drives on the highway a lot, what I WOULD adore is a more advanced cruise control that can steer my car down the long stretches of highway but keep control to myself in the city. Sadly my 2009 just is too cheap.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to get that...

Do you know me, son?

Counter-point: We had this family of printers deployed around a busy furniture store in which I managed the IT department for three years (before moving on). Most of those were installed a few months after I arrived. All were still running just fine and dandy when I left three years later.

I’m fully aware of everything in this article. I however, still choose to shower every day because despite commonly held belief, I am not in fact a goddamn savage.

That is incredible work on the part of the actress playing Mon Mothma. If I didn’t honestly know it was 38 years later, I wouldn’t be able to say it wasn’t the same woman. Amazing.

Except of course that Musk went immediately to a rocket that was...you know...actually capable of carrying any sort of useful payload to any kind of useful altitude. They can launch a baby rocket half-way up, eject a mock crew capsule at a useless altitude, and land safely. Big deal. It’s all a dog and pony show for a…

I think you are severely short-sighted if you think you can predict anything past a few decades. And you are SEVERELY underestimating humanities need for consumable resources.

Fuck friends. #TeamNIGHTCOURT

Wait...people were ever actually dumb enough to believe that swallowing your gum was a problem?

Meanwhile another amazing, original spec script will go unsold because this shit show makes 350 million dollars.

there is a very good chance that either the Zodiac Killer or a botoxed Garfield the Cat impersonator might end up being the next leader of the free world.

Improvement...

Dear America;

It didn’t. The second containment beam had a blueprint for a Riker, but no Riker-energy to convert (Riker’s energy being safely ensconced in the first confinement beam). So it did the only logical thing and used ambient energy as it’s conversion source to complete it’s program cycle.

Actually, That’s not how it happened at all. Geordi describes the two Riker situation quite explicitly. It had nothing to do with cloning, and it had nothing to do with the pattern buffer.

No sympathy for the tail-gater at all. Do stupid things; win stupid prizes. Simple as that.

Right. But you being on 5.0.1 isn’t going to stop you from being able to run an app made with the 6.0 api’s. The base api’s are compatible from 4.0 to the present day. 6.0 may release features that you’re phone won’t be compatible with (Doze). But if an app maker makes an app that uses doze, it doesn’t mean your phone…

Absolutely there is fragmentation in that respect. I said as much.

But that doesn’t stop the app from installing or working on older versions; it just means that they don’t access some of the more advanced features. It doesn’t require more developer work, Android is smart enough to turn those features on and off as it needs to. There isn’t some world where poor developers have to…
