I was reading about the [url]Astute[/url] Class submarines and I tought: Wait a moment, why do they have crews? Why not just remotely program them once a week and let them trundle about and do stuff and then take over in real time when needed like what we do with drones? |

They're very big and complicated machines, just like ships they need a crew just to keep them running. Also radio waves do not penetrate water well at all, they have to be near the surface or deploy buoys to make contact and also in the event of a total nuclear war they have orders to carry out autonomously I think. |

Even if you somehow arranged a ton of babysitters so they could all leave little Tarquin/Jocasta at home; you know the conversation would still degenerate into "so when are you and MrsA having children?", "my little Arlo won first prize in the Twattiest Parents competition at school," and, "You're not a parent, you just wouldn't understand!" |

Because two posts are never enough when I'm having a grumble, I've literally spent half my day trying to get a photocopier than can very happily send scanned documents via SMB or FTP to any other OS you care to mention to a Mountain Lion Server, and can I get it to work? Can I fuck! I gather SMB has been changed in 10.8 to such a degree I'll never get it to work with our equipment, but FTP! FTP is a proper not-even-Microsoft standard! How can it be so bloody hard to get something to work with FTP?!? |

I have no rum. Or gin. All I have is vodka and bourbon. And beer. I had an eye exam at 2pm. The drops to dilate your pupils meant walking down the street afterwards was like having the HDR and bloom effects from hell turned on. |
