After we bullshit over driverless cars for a decade instead of building trains I wonder what we'll bullshit over the next decade instead of building trains.

    Well, at least you'll live to see this:

    (the date, if not the technology :-/ ).

    You know, I really don't like anime, except for this one
    (very _Blade Runner_ish) sequence that took my breath away
    the first time I saw it:

    Ghost in the Shell - Making of Cyborg (Music Video)

    (I don't mind the girl's face -- she's not supposed to be human,
    after all -- but why'd they have to go and spoil it
    with the cartoonish Beagle?)
