Wait, is that a picture of the Virgin Mary I see in the shell? Ebay or Letterman I think are the only choices.

Jason, probably not. It was just the only 3 nut peanut in my bunch of peanuts at Five Guys Burgers tonight. I think 4 in one shell would have been truly amazing. I wonder what the world record is?

I'm convinced the area you're living in is radio-active. All these mutations! ;-)

the most handy teleportation device i've ever seen in a sci-fi series so far is the aschen one in stargate sg1 (season 4, ep. 16). they would be quite useful in istanbul. http://img690.yfrog.com/img690...

no need for teleportation, if you've got the right connected androids acting on your behalf, this is far sufficient ;-) When Google should begin to build these cheap Androids ? ;-)

Satine, I guess so! I'll invent one for Izmir too! ;) @Thierry, why not? if they implement that kind of EPR telepathic quantum thingy ;)

"If we take seriously the ideology, arguments and values now emanating from the right-wing of the Republican Party, there is no room in the United States for a democracy in which the obligations of citizenship, compassion and collective security outweigh the demands of what might be called totalizing market-driven society; that is, a society that is utterly deregulated, privatized, commodified and largely controlled by the ultra-rich and a handful of mega corporations. In such a society, there is a shift in power from government to markets and the emergence of a more intensified political economy organized around three principal concerns: deregulated markets, commodification and disposability. In spite of the current failure of this system, right-wing Republicans and their allies are more than willing to embrace a system that erases all vestiges of the public good, turning citizens into consumers, while privatizing and commodifying every aspect of the social order - all the while threatening the lives, health, and livelihoods of millions of working class and middle class people."

Armies of robotic drones may be just around the corner. Taking a cue from The Terminator films, the U.S. Navy is developing unmanned fighting vehicles that network together and operate in "swarms." The U.S. military's unmanned drone planes have proven one of the most effective — and most controversial — weapons in the arsenal in recent years. American officials credit the use of Predator aircraft, which are armed with guided missiles, with eliminating a growing number of senior terrorist leaders who were beyond the reach of ground forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And now, these unmanned aircraft are talking to each other. Up until now, each drone has been controlled remotely by a human over a satellite link, but the vehicles have been unable to communicate with each other or share intelligence. But in a demonstration last week, the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) linked unmanned drones, including air and ground vehicles, into unmanned squadrons with a single person helming all six vehicles.

LOL Yes, makes me wonder. The links to the defense contractor building these are interesting. Swarming algorithms and the first rudimentary AI brains on UAV's

"Having a laptop as my primary computer also left me wanting something I’d never wanted in my office before: a sitting area. I like using my laptop as, well, a laptop, when I don’t feel the need for the second monitor or other desk functions. I find it is more ergonomically comfortable, and I concentrate better. A comfy chair and ottoman in my office would mean that I wouldn’t have to use the living room couch with its attendant distractions to work laptop-style. It took some creativity but I figured out how to relieve the desktop congestion and fit a sitting area in the room."
