Anyone remember ELISA, the program that emulated a random conversation (mostly turning answers ito questions like a stereotypical mental therapist).

This is typical demo when computing centers had open houses, and not really of any historic interest. How about some firing (ballistic) solutions that the early computers were designed to produce?

If she had been a bit north in L.A. the sister in law and ex bf would have had no problem. Next to impossible to get LAPD to act on a threat unless you are a celebrity.

@R.b.3: Actually they're evil because their extensive poor safety record has resulted in a lot of corrective action that is only on paper, but the culture is to cut every corner to better the bottom line.

The only reason the law is able to be enforced in any manner is because RIAA goes after so few file sharers. If they were somehow to try to file cases against every file sharer, it would so clog the system that the laws would have to be changed. It is hard for most people to conceptualize theft of an intangible object…

The merits of this solution depends on the subject matter of the collection. In areas such as history, philosophy or literary criticism, I would frequently start research by browsing the stacks. One of my alma maters killed this when they implemented a robotic storage and retrieval system. Unrelated books are stored…

Bogus. The outside of the container is way too clean.

@Ioncloud9: the answers have been a bit vague - the reason is because these are small coins of little intrinsic value and not very rare (metal survives better than clay pots unless in a moist environment.). The answer to your question about burying $52,000 a hundred years ago depends on what you buried - paper bills…

@Alluvian: maybe it is inapropriate to be doing yardwork in the peak of the heat, That's why God created hammocks (that was on the eighth day - missing in most Christian Bibles)

@EllenRose: right about "probe" wrong about "the". The "the" is attached to "plan" or "destination", which is implicit here. Explicitly written the phrases would be "bigger plans than the Lutetia plan". In no other uses does the author preface Lutetia with "the." If he did, you still couldn't rule on correctness…

@Jake Lsewhere: which could create serious global climatic impacts.

I was told yesterday that in Israel, the ultra-religious prefer what they call "kosher phones", voice only phones with no browser or texting.

@FlawedHero: Would the Mexican drug cartels prefer flan armor?

@negitoro: Next test of the 2nd amendment. The arms of the Founding Fathers only loaded a single bullet, so outlaw second bullets.

Similar objections get made every time media evolve, e.g. when analog audio recordings were being put on digital CDs, most prominently being voiced by those who were used to listening to recordings with great dynamic range such as symphonic works.

@Drummertist: This is the way software evolved BEFORE programs were patentable instead of just copyrightable (is that a word?). Design has no IP protection in the fashion industry - should tech not be the same?

@GreenMansCup: Yea reading Giz these days is like watching TMZ. Both are victims of their success. It seems that their correspondents have a certain quota, whether it be implicit or explicit, so information-null postings increase. Much like my comments. Only a very few actually enlighten.

@shilo101: not to mention POTUS Barack Husein Obama. Oh....I guess I mentioned him. hmmmm....please don't read this... i was not to mention him.

Shiut! Any good ole boy knows you cut your meat with your hunting or bowie knife, then spear it on the point of your knife and stick it in your pie hole.

@Rakkoon: Bassomatic!
