   Upvoted because you gave me my next project. A robot that makes sandwiches, and serves me glasses of water.

   I'm about halfway through The Emporer's New Mind. For those not familiar with the book, (other than wikipedia'n it), Robert Penrose attempts to show why what happens in our brains is not algorithmic at all (and, therefore, strong AI is a du

   I love voice control with my iphone. I wear a bluetooth headset a lot, it's nice to be able to just touch the headset, say "call <person>" and it'll call them.

   holy crap, we nuked ourselves nearly a thousand times? I thought the amount of tests we've conducted was far less.

    Well, depending on the size of the house. I've seen apartments go for around $500/month in areas where a decently sized house is about $100,000 to buy. So, it's not that unreasonable to expect to rent a house for $1,500/month.

    I will start using tau exclusively the minute I don't get F's in math for using it.

    That's a moot point, because once it's free with lion, then it might as well be free by itself. Apple does nothing to prevent piracy of its dev tools.

    it shouldn't be downvoted anymore than cosmok's (which as of now, is sitting at karma 0). I upvoted you to keep you closer to cosmok's comment.

    Would totally apply if I didn't have horrible fashion sense. On the other hand, maybe I could learn a lot.
