I was nine years old, when I first read Asimov's robot stories.
Even then I realised that those rules were just plain ridiculous, because, even if you could build a machine that could understand the rules enough to follow them as intended, they would be unenforceable, because it would be smart enough to make its own decisions on whether or not to follow them.

Cool! My first concert ever was Screaming for Vengeance in '83. I haven't listened to any of their stuff since Painkiller, but will have to check this one out. Thanks!

Project Naphta[^] is a Chrome extension that allows you to select text from an image (using ocr). It was featured in the Insider news a while back.
I found an Easter egg: Continually clicking on text in an image to select it adds an flame effect. Hot stuff!

Besides the easter egg, does the extension work ? We do not have Chrome at work, so I cannot check it here, but if it works, it would be the hell of an cool thing !

At the bottom of the page: "...a rather fun little easter egg which you can play with by quickly clicking about a dozen times over some block of text inside a picture."

There is so much crap on that page that there is no way I am adding anything to Chrome on their recommendation.

Okay, maybe I just saw advertisements in the examples and didn't read the text.
It is a result of internet overloading where I don't read anymore but just scan pages to see if I am interested in the subject.
I am a product of my times.

The Length of the line it is.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

I need to sell my soul.
My truck turns 16 this year and it's got so many problems I don't know where to begin and would be very expensive to fix everything that needs to be done.
So I went to a dealership, haven't been to one in 20+ years and got a bad case of sticker shock. So I need to make a deal with the devil or sell ?spare? body parts to be able to afford a 2012 Ford Focus with 62K miles.
Looks like I'll have to go back to work for a while?
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

You could always approach your bank manager.
I suggest with a pair of stockings and a sawn off would be best.

Well, you could try FleaBay[^].
But...You can't, it seems[^]
Consider slightly older cars than 2012 - if you look around, you should find something in the 5+ years area that is considerably cheaper: because the other mug punters owners have already swallowed the depreciation.
My current car cost me ~$2K, was 10 years old, one previous owner, and had 70K miles. Now in it's third year of my ownership, and it has cost me about $1.2K in repairs on top of the usual running costs.

You could try contacting one of them Nigerian princes. I hear they like giving out money.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

My truck needed replaced last year.
Ended up with a 2009 but still paid more than I would have liked.
