The Jet Pack is real! Only $136,000 US
http://www.jetlev-flyer.com/en/65482-Jetlev-Flyer/
This is so awesome.
I forget if it was Des or Kontan that said "This is the 21st Century! Where's my jet pack?"

Idk I think HP is just trying to distract people from the Packers beating the Steelers despite his prediction of the contrary.

Although I was rooting for Pittsburgh I actually kind of thought the Steelers would lose, because they didn't win previous games as much as the other teams lost, that is how they got that far. That is what happened in the super bowl too but in reverse: the Steelers had 3 turnovers and gave the game away.
(sigh). Now comes the long dark winter of no football until August.

If you were like Iron Man you could make your own jet pack (except he has jet boots and stabilizers, not a pack) and suit. Do not forget his suit is a gold-titanium alloy. Not really the cheapest thing, but it fixed the frosting problem when he gets too far into space and it gets too cold.
My inner nerd just came out for a second.
Anyway...
I think the black and pink would be cool. Those colors go well together I think.

I am a math nerd, not a mechanical nerd. I can not build I computer. Much less one as complex as JARVIS. I do not even think that kind of AI has been created yet.

AI doesn't exist yet. What we have so far is simply virtual intelligence, which is everything short of a sentient computer.

Which just proves the point that I can not make a computer like that. It does not exist yet.

building a computer is very very easy. Programming effective AI is another matter entirely.........

JARVIS isn't an Artificial Intelligence. He's a small little man Tony Stark has locked in a basement giving him instructions via radio........

Note that I have chosen to ignore 6SixSick second comment.
Saying I do not know how to make a computer, I think it is okay to say it would be hard for me to put it together. I might as well try to do an organ transplant. At lest then I would know where everything was and where it should go.

Why would you choose to put in a post that you've ignored something? I would think not mentioning it would be enough.
You're entitled to put what you want of course. I'm just curious.
