Re: What are you looking at? Boulders. Perhaps with some organic molecules present,
Altitude and magnification. That probe had one hell of a lens, though!

Rosetta probe's final packets massaged into new snap of Comet 67P
Hollywood has savaged enough sci-fi classics – let's hope Dick would dig Blade Runner 2049

I never got ET either. I mean, it was OK-ish in the genre, but the genre for me was kids movie. Mind you, at least it had guns! For a while.
Tron, I was enamoured by. Loved it. The bold use of graphics throughout the main story... just like nothing I'd really seen before.
Bladerunner is just great. I have a slight bias against it because my brother liked it, but that was just sibling rivalry. The music, the dystopian future, the ambiguity about everything.
The Thing, as I said, was too gory for its own good. Alien did it right. One shock-gore moment, the rest was just flash of movement and cut to an echoey scream down a corridor lit by flashing amber beacons.
What is the probability of being drunk at work and also being tested? Let's find out! Correctly
The axeman strikes again: Microsoft has real commitment issues

Re: Some would say...
I WANT Microsoft to create an AI self-driving car. I really do. I want it to be able to understand everything I say, and I want it to have an emotional core of some kind. And I want it for one reason and one reason only. So I can sit in the back and ask it every two minutes "It looks like you're trying to drive a car. Would you like some help with that?"

Home Sec Amber Rudd: Yeah, I don't understand encryption. So what?

Re: Rudd
She's just banned the sale of acid to under 18s. So it is vitally important that you take a form of photo ID with you if you want to avail yourself of the standard condiments next time you go to the chippy.
Either that or she's some sort of flatulent, calcium-based life form that's managed to infiltrate the corridors of power.

We had a machine that wouldn't run with the cover off...
in the print production department. It had worked OK for years, cover on or off, but it suddenly started failing and freezing up whenever the cover was lifted to refill the hopper.
Turned out that the tube light overhead was so old the phosphor had worn off in several places, and the diffuser had long ago disappeared. Just enough high energy photons were hitting the surface of one or more of the control chips to induce a photovoltaic effect whenever the cover was open for a long enough time. Changed the light in the room and all was well again. I feel sorry for the operator, though, and their unintentional exposure.

Now there's a use for 3D printing... Forensic overshoes.
Say, that's a nice looking mat outside the director of human resources's office. Is it new? And it came with a rebate as part of a government sponsored IoT Office of the Future programme? Recognises the identity of the person stepping onto it and announces their arrival, as well as providing BMI and posture data to the company's medical services contractor thus covering our health and wellbeing initiative. Well, I think we should have one outside the offices of all of our executive managers. Complements the mahogany wall panelling perfectly. Well done! Pity about the HR director, though. Who would have thought he would stoop so low as to breaking and entering. And at a bakery as well. Tut. Maybe it was connected to that episode of sudden weight loss? Clumsy of him to knock that sack of flour over too. That's how they caught him in the end.
