Lasers won't work, and take too much power. Build a large Tesla coil in each corner of the yard, triggered by a cheap motion sensor from the hardware store.

Will Rogers never met me.

Well I guess that's evolution:
freakin' shark with laser beams attached to their head
--> killer dolphins
--> RobotDog
--> OCP / Cyberdyne....

sounds logical and goddamn freaky, but we are all living in the matrix or a dragon's dream anyway...

we missed the "Steve Austin" step though...

Microwave bursts from your house will protect you from the critters. All you need is an old kitchen microwave and a metal cone. At the same time, they will also protect your garden from the chucks and other natural vermin as well. I wonder what micro waves will do to zombies?

My high-speed internet connection will be ~~monitored by~~ provided by google. My car ~~will record my every sneeze~~ self drive with google. My internet searching will be ~~profiled by~~ free from google. My coding language will be ~~HTML 5 and JS~~ Dart. My TV will be all youtube ~~advertisements~~ channels. And my phone will ~~NSA record~~ run google w/ a Chinese-altered OS and handset.

And of course the PC will be dead.

And the best part...I will get Viagra ads spammed across every device! Happy day!

I can't wait, bring on the T-2000!

They have all of us data.
Google's having that much of user data from which it can create four different profile for a single person.

I like Windows, but I also like *nix systems. I know of three Unix-style systems for Windows:

* Msys
* Msys2 - My Favorite
* Cygwin

Msys2 is my favorite as is has the latest versions of most packages, and works with Win32 paths by default. It is also more complete than Msys, including things like OpenSSH, GPG, Python (2.7 and 3.3), and Ruby (2.0.0-p353). It also has a number of packages and a port of the pacman package manager.

Msys2[^]

Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.

That would be entirely appropriate on for example a Golf VR6 which would make an excellent track day car.

The "amateur" sleuthing for the Mandela signer had me chuckling though, especially "Big fish, little fish, cardboard box". Source[^].

Even funnier is that the owners of the company he was sub-contracted through disappeared when the story broke about his fraudulent signing. Fraud? S'Effrica? Who'd have thunked it?

If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
