"Lastly, most humans realize that their need for a 'physical container' in the afterlife will be absolutely ridiculous. No matter what your beliefs about the afterlife are, it's pretty clear that until the next zombie apocalypse happens our bodies aren't going to be of much use. "

Once again, you can't cheat an honest (wo)man.

And you write for Gizmodo. Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, pot. FYI, you're both black.

The debt deal was re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. In order to avoid a downgrade, it needed to cut $1T per year out of the budget and maintain the debt ceiling (not raise it). That's fiscal conservativism, and that wasn't proposed by either side.

Here's the problem: as the famous saying goes "it's the economy, stupid". As a fiscal conservative, what choice am I given? I damn sure am not going to vote for a tax and spend Democrat (nor a RINO that wants to spend like a drunken sailor, either). As an atheist, I don't want to vote for a religious nut, either.

If you take it to mean "closer to the ground", it's actually a good name. I could imagine an Indian equivalent: "Andeepto".

Another interesting tidbit is that he owns more stock than the Disney family did when the company went public.

I'll name him for you: Guy Kawasaki.

The 17" MacBook Pro does 1920x1200. Just sayin'.

I remember back when all this went down. Man was Shimomura pissed.

That sort of proves my point. The design aesthetic was right, but it was probably too early. Just like the Newton was the first PDA and a great device (I still have a 2100), but failed because the market wasn't ready yet. Palm came out a few years later and scored a hit with an inferior device (which made you learn…

Yeah, that's a mean engine.

It would have been better if he'd just said "THIS. IS. APPLE!".

The Lisa was awesome due to the ease of access to the boards and expandability. Apple completely reversed itself with the original Macintosh design.

Right. Because I want to attract bears to my front pocket while hiking out after lunch. Good plan.

In the event that you need something done that's not covered by your insurance (or you don't have any), it's not unusual to be able to strike a deal with a dentist where you pay less than retail, and he still gets just as much as he would from an insurance company.

Sounds like you need to find out if a makerbot can do what you need done more cheaply than the $100k solution.

Right about now, frak soul brother. imo.

You can't cheat an honest man. If the guy who bought the equipment got it from some dude selling it out of the back of his van (or craigslist, the 21st Century "back of a van") for a screamin' deal, he damn sure knew they were stolen. Not saying that's the case, but if it is, he deserves to get screwed.

There is a distinct lack of wizard hats and pizza in this chat log. I am disappoint.
