    Facebook also needs a breathalyzer.

    In fact, I'm thinking of writing a Facebook app called DRUNKBLOCKADE that will prevent you from sending messages and shit after 12AM if you cannot pass some kind of basic hand-eye coordination test. Or maybe just blocking you from sending anything between 12AM and 6AM outright.

    Why not just make a program that creates a spell/grammar check and prevents you from submitting the message if you can't figure out what you need to fix on your own.

    The problem is that I actually maintain a high level of grammatical proficiency well beyond when I should be sending messages to people.

    Sometimes I honestly look back in horror at messages I've sent saying "oh fuck me did I really send that" and "HOLY FUCK it doesn't even LOOK like I was drunk at the time."

    Ugh, I'm the same way actually. I just maintain a silly level of control even when I'm drunk. Drunk me is very considerate to sober me.

    The problem with a billion dollar house is that it'll probably cost that much because they just stick a shitload of diamonds into everything, not because there'll actually be a billion dollars of construction value in the place.

    It's like when they make those million dollar laptops. You don't actually get a particularly high quality example of computer technology, just a leather-bound laptop with a million dollars of diamonds attached to it.

    Roman Abramovich's yacht is reputed to have cost in the region of US$1.2billion.

    EDIT:

    800pxmyeclipsefrederiks.jpg
    Eclipse has two helicopter pads, 11 guest cabins, two swimming pools, several hot tubs and a disco hall. She also comes equipped with three launch boats, and a mini-submarine that is capable of submerging to 50 meters. Approximately 70 crew members are needed to operate the yacht.

    For security, Eclipse is fitted with intruder detection systems and a German-built missile defence system. The windows in Abramovich's master suite and the yacht's bridge are also fitted with bullet-proof glass and both are armor plated. The yacht is also equipped with an anti-paparazzi shield in the form of lasers that sweep the surroundings, and when they detect a CCD, they fire a bolt of light right at the camera to obliterate any photograph.

    That is the strangest use of $2 billion ever.

    Who wants to live in a skyscraper?

    Go buy a bunch of houses all over the freaking planet. I guess he probably owns those already.

    But wouldn't it be more fun to announce, "I think I'll go stay at my house on the canal in Amsterdam this week, but if you need me after wednesday, I'll be in Manhattan. I think it's the little brick number in Madrid after that, but you know my crazy schedule."

    vs.

    "Honey, I'm going down the 17th floor. Do you want anything from the kitchen?"

    i would think that would be a big violation of international law.

    Retina scorching lasers are a no-no by international treaty.

    I'd get pissed at people trying to document my every moment of existence, too

    I probably wouldn't go through all that, though, I'd probably just have the lasers set to "obliterate"

    After you've decided to spend a billion bucks becoming, as Japan correctly noted, a living James Bond villain, I think overly-complicated technology used to hurt people regardless of legality is part of the package deal.
