        If it works. Our CEO did seem to think it was imminent. The original Iridium network was supposed to replace cellphones in the minds of the dumbass marketing people, but one of the big issues was the phone only worked outside. Buildings would block the signals since they were too weak so you would have to go outside to make a satellite call. Might not be a big deal if you have dual mode with traditional cellular while you are in coverage zones, but that’s also potentially two bills.

          But on the plus side, now Google can track you even when you aren’t near a tower.

          It is easy to do justice - very hard to do right

            Worse, Musk can track you and tweet about the dumb shit you are doing out in the middle of nowhere.

                          If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, or Christian morality to Nazi morality. In fact, of course, we all do believe that some moralities are better than others . . . . The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard . . . admitting that there is such a thing as a real Right, independent of what people think, and that some people's ideas get nearer to that real Right than others."

                              They are referring to the full building including seating at the base of the sphere… So no it’s just you being literalist.

                                It seems to be more of a hemisphere though, maybe 69% or 70% of the height of a a full sphere.

                                That actually explains the lack of full ‘sphericality’.

                                Oyaji was on to something. ;-)

                                      Lob should be wary when getting his phone or laptop repaired:

                                      Actually, we all should. I only unlock my phone and hand it to someone if I’m watching everything they do with it.

                                          I don’t want to pre-judge her but something tells me she won’t understand ANY excuse for having that on a phone to begin with.
                                          But then again she may be a warhorse in the sack.

                                            That Cavoukian photo needed to be improved with Photoshop. Tough on the eyes, it was.

                                            You see?

                                            Even with just a little knowledge, anyone can improve a photo with Photoshop.
