How can you NOT like weird Al???

[Sean92008]

If I recall Mulhall's show ages ago, he was wide-eyed and speculating...  Now it is here...  Nice.

which  Circle of Hell it is where people start youtubing Weird Al

One above the 'glam rock' level.

The world would be a better place if this happened to that ship while at sea.

With the number of anti-vaccine activists on the boat I think the bigger irony would be the introduction of some form of illness that would otherwise not be an issue on land.

Smart dust is not far off. CIA probably already has it.

If you really feel as though those who do become rich are "stealing" then you have totally lost your sense of rationality when it comes to economics. Sure some people employ shady means to make money, but to call someone who works hard and is very successful basically a criminal is somewhat sad.

Weird al is annoying as hell. I never understood it. He's as bad as that ufo phil fella.

[RoseGirl]

I'm going to have to guess that a grey surgically removed your sense of humour.  I have never outgrown the man... Also, I am white and nerdy...  (your'e welcome.)

Yes you could. If you made it even smaller you could make it into a smart fuel air explosive that can automatically detect subversive speech.

SKYNET!!!!!

MITD Bingo folks:
Mention of remote viewing.
TAKE A SHOT.

Depends on who's smarter, you or the crowd.

Meh. Just ignore it.

If only the erudite folks around here who smell their own farts could do that... sigh.

I'm confused -- are our new overlords going to be nanites or aliens from KIC 846285 ?

Yes.

The main concept behind smart dust is essentially an almost infinite amount of "eyes and ears" in whatever area it is spread it. It's beyond our means right now, but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

To paraphrase a guy named Dan who posted on another thread:

Ok, will you show me on this doll where the capitalist hurt you?

[SciFiAuthor]

I have an issue with this guy attributing the Singularity to Vinge. It was actually conceived by John von Neumann.

I'm worried that we were both thinking the same thing at around the same time...  Also, Amish paradise was great.
