The software I paid money for better not update to this crap.

The obvious response is, "Oh, it will."

Does this work at all on those demonstration videos where the videographer is too shy to add a vocal track, and just demonstrates everything, sometimes with text?

There should be some kind of legal document an artist can choose to complete, a "Do Not Reanimate Me" choice. If they decline to make a decision, or agree to be simulated, fine. If…

It is a progression: year 1 = 100% of your life year 2 = 50% of your life year 3 = 33% of your life ... year 10 = 10% of your life ... year 50 = 2% of your life etc.

I wasn't really advocating for it, I just think if we were crazy enough to adopt this time system, 10 time zones would also be a necessary adjustment.

Also, no mention of the need for only 10 big-ass time zones instead of 24 relatively narrow time zones. The continental US might have only 2 time zones instead of 4.

Lol, this was EXACTLY my high school sr. year social studies project in 1980, with roughly the same effort (sadly, I didn't create a working clock). I won first place, with just th…

This is nice. If possible, I would change it so that a left rotation happened on a left click and a right rotation happened on a right click; make scoring optional if you want it t…

I don't get the TickTock.

The same reason television isn't more fun and weird.

Ya lays down yer money and ya takes yer chances.

Well, they have a trolley and a track, so there is always the option of throwing themselves in front of the oncoming trolley.

My response, to leave them there was based on 1) not taking lives as a result of my decision, and 2) if they're alive, they might eventually find a way to stop the trolley and get …

I think if you choose the option to kill 5 people 100 years from now, that 5 should not be part of your total kill count, because those people won't be dead for 100 years. In fact,…

I dunno, but I did. It had an empty ring to it though. I don't feel like one can solve Philosophy. I've never thought of philosophy as a solvable thing, like all the philosophical …

Kill Count: 45 WOOT!

My inner 12 year old laffed.

All of them.

Turing says: It's A Bot

On a secondary device.

Holy crap, I wouldn't have thought twice about being lucky enough to roll out a solution I'd happened to have been thinking about for days. I am not seeing an ethics problem here, …
