Re:Not always
Yeah and the government spends your precious money on welfare for the poor that breed out of control on unlimited food supply, instead of science research. I knew an elderly man, who was over 100 years old, and he was too old to take care of his cats, he fed them food all the time, but too old to clean up after them. On unlimited food he must have ended up with like 200 cats, and cat poop all over the house. Something not right with that picture.
As far as the future goes, space stations are the future, and spaceships. But also the fast breeders, the really perverted can't control themselves fuckers, but they also have to be very intelligent under warfare scenario. You'll might have things like tails for humans again, simply because that retro mutation is gonna be perverse, long tongues like 15 inches sticking out of your mouth, super sexy eyes and lips, and constant fucking. Unfortunately religion is difficult to stick to even for the most religious, and sex dominates the world, because those who fuck all the time, usually have more babies, and drown out in population those who abstain. Everything is gonna degenerate into super cool appearances and fetish.

In 3 billion years, Alien is what a human is gonna look like - 6 fingers, long tail, super long brain to pretend she's smart. Maybe males may have been lost under dire circumstances, and female only reproduction takes over, like earthworms can reproduce in absence of a partner. The females are still gonna be insanely horny, and they can get each other off. Under lack of males, and sexual reproduction, the species will no longer be able to adapt to new diseases, and you'll get diseases that eat people, or whatever you wanna call them in 3 billion years, up from the inside out. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jxym...
Air filtration may be mandatory, as in CPAP, for everyone, to keep diseases away, yet everyone will be infected anyway. This of course would not happen if people lived in a sort of natural way, in the jungle, immersed among other life, and naturally selected to resist diseases. That's how you and I are here, a long process of selection. Our immune system can fight off gazillions of viruses and bacteria, or at least keep them in check and make them live in harmony inside you, which, as soon as you die, decompose your body, unless immersed in formalin. Each of those microorganisms living inside you is potentially deadly, but it's not, because you're genetically adapted to dealing with them. Of course such natural selection also means massive die-offs of those unadapted, potentially the loss of the entire species, but as long as a few make it, you have maybe a new species and a new adaptation. For instance a malaria adaptation is sickle cell disease, deformed hemoglobin. But such a cost, risking losing the human species, is too high, therefore technology will be applied, instead of allowing genetics through natural selection, and instead of allowing only the sickle cell diseased ones to make it, and be the only ones in face of malaria, technology will be applied, including drugs, air filtration, sterilization of utensils, and, as an end result, everyone will be genetically weak to properly fight diseases, especially if the males of the species are lost somewhere in time through history, 3 billion years from now, just like how some ants lack males. Ants have a much longer evolution than humans, and, because under warfare scenarios, cooperation is important, and in cooperation, hierarchy, you may end up with massive social structures just like ants and bees do, together with reproductive specialization genetically inscribed into individuals.

Anti neutral
It is good to see this topical announcement from Google today in which they are directly supporting application-specific unmetered internet:
http://googleblog.blogspot.com...
"In an effort to reduce data costs, if you have an Airtel SIM card, you’ll get these software updates for free for the first six months. As part of this same Airtel offer, you’ll also be able to download up to 200MB per month worth of your favorite apps (that’s about 50 apps overall) from Google Play—all without counting toward your mobile data usage."
This is directly against the principles of network neutrality.

Re:Warmists never bother debating anymore
They just call global warming skeptics "deniers and "morons," because it's so much easier than trying to explain why why there's been no warming for 19 years, in violation of all global warming models.
Global warming is no longer theory, it's a religion, as well a mechanism for the transnational left to transfer power and money from individuals to national and transnational governments.
Global warming no longer has anything to do with science; it's a faith-based doctrine.
It most certainly is so much easier to call you a denier and a moron because we have gone over this little issue about 10E4 times and you still hold on to your infantile view of the process (study of short term temperature fluctuations either prove or invalidate anthropomorphic climate change (ACC)). The data behind ACC is robust and, unfortunately for you, complex.

Re:It's getting hotter still!
Citation please!
Here, let me Google that for you
Also, from 2008 Davos:
Just how crazy is Al Gore? That was the question that popped, once again, into my brain as I read a January 24 Agence France Press news story out of the Davos meeting of business and political elite. Gore asserted that, “the North Pole ice caps may disappear entirely during summer months within five years”
I was instantly reminded of the story that ran in The New York Times in August 2000 claiming that the Pole was free of ice for the first time in 50 million years. It wasn’t, of course, because people who have actually been to the Arctic quickly noted that, in the summer, some ice actually does melt there. The Times retracted it three weeks later.
This kind of apocalyptic nonsense has been ratcheting upward ever since the new century began and my theory is that lunatics like Al Gore know that they are running out of time when it comes to imposing draconian restrictions on the use of every form of energy known to mankind. This is the purpose of the global warming hoax.
Tha fuck is wrong with slashdot today!? Jesus Christ, Donny!

Re:You have all been trained to accept this as nor
> Dear AC, I am not familiar with a search engine called "RoundUp". Will you please provide a link? It looks useful.
RoundUp is a fork of the Phex Gnutella client. Phex is GPL, but RoundUp is only distributed to law-enforcement. Distribution comes with the source, I suspect that it also comes with a GPL-violating requirement of non-disclosure. The government has gone to court in order to fight a request by defense attorneys to reveal the source code.

Re:Simple change. What about round abouts
That never was a myth to start with - only to Americans (and even only to some of them). There are plenty of studies from more than 20 years ago (even US studies...) which have proven that the roundabout is generally more effective than a 4-way intersection. The problem is that it requires more space of course - and it CAN be overused...

Windows 8 reverts the hosts file
Maybe I'm missing some thing here but it seems like a edit to a local hosts file could resolve this.
You're not the only one who uses hosts files like this. When Flash ads first appeared on Slashdot, I started blocking servers that send Flash ads. (I'll never buy Splunk because it was the first thing I ever saw advertised in a Flash ad.) I've since switched to click-to-play plug-ins for that, but I have written a few thoughts on how to make hosts file parsing more efficient than it currently is.
Alex P. Kowalski (APK) has long been an advocate of using hosts files for DNS blacklisting and acceleration, and his tool for Windows aggregates multiple sources over a million lines long. It also looks up the IP addresses for commonly accessed sites and caches them locally. He claims that his tool is more efficient than DNS because the operating system's hosts file parser allegedly runs in kernel space (fewer context switches) and the most commonly accessed sites (good or bad) are at the top of the list.
But lately, Windows Defender has been reverting the hosts file so that malware can't use the hosts file to redirect Facebook and the major webmails and "steal" users' credentials that way. You have to opt out of hosts file protection if you want to continue using APKware.

Re:We really need
Not all of us think that. Some of us think "Puny European Countries". Have you seen an overlay of Europe verses the USA?

The Problem with Europeans is that they have no idea how big the USA actually is, relative to their entire Continent. What is "easy" for Europe is harder here simply because of scale.

Re:Eurasia vs. oceania

-
Re:Terrorists, not Fighters
It looks like you need an adult to explain things to you.
Who armed Saddam? - Some reality checks
Saddam's weapons came overwhelmingly from the Soviet Union & other Soviet Bloc countries (69% during this period), followed by France (13%) and China (12%) and a string of smaller suppliers. (For example, according to a 1984 SIPRI report, "During 1982-83, Iraq accounted for 40% of total French arms exports.") The figure for the US is 1%.
(The link above is a good bit of background that covers much more than that short extract.)
There are still a lot of Soviet Bloc weapons being used in Iraq. The Interior ministry stuck with AKs, and the armed forces were only partly rearmed with American and Western weapons.

Re:Like xkcd...
...BBT is a fun show, but it's not really "for scientists", most "for science-fans". There's nothing particularly sophisticated or obscure about the humour in either - the majority of people I know who watch BBT are linguists, liberal artists, etc., or in fields allied to science such as practical medicine.
This isn't a criticism - I personally enjoy BBT, although I find xkcd too lacking in humour to bother following since around strip six-hundred-and-something - just a warning against the minority of readers/watchers of entertainment productions like these who think that there's something intelligent about the content featured.
The only reason to read XKCD any more is to know what the jokes on http://xkcdsucks.blogspot.com/ are about.

Re:Straight to the pointless debate
What you are saying is "never scientific" is in fact the core of the scientific process, and it makes no difference if the original data were taken today or fifty years ago: they are open to justifiable correction by anyone who sees fit. If you have the idea that the corrections applied are unjustified, feel free to challenge them
I agree with you on the principle. But here's the thing: when you go to the GISS data download, there isn't a link to the uncorrected data; you just get one data set and you must trust that the GISS did the "adjustments" properly. That is not science.
How do we even know that the GISS has adjusted the data? Because someone saved a copy of the data back in 2008. If nobody had a saved copy we wouldn't have any idea whether the changes had been made or how large they were. You comfortable with that?
What I want to see is the original data set, plus a program (MATLAB script or whatever) to apply the adjustments, along with the final output. Anyone should be able to reproduce the final data set from the historical data, and anyone should be able to review the adjustments program to see what it does.
I remind you also of "Climategate" and the CRU. Those guys had an endlessly tweaked data set, and when asked for the original, unmodified, historical data they said they had lost it. For any scientist that is a pretty major WTF right there but the only people who called them on it were the reviled "denialists".

Re:Stop being so impatient....
he same reason worlds fair showed tech that will be coming out in 5-10 years.
I think your 5-10 year estimate is ludicrously optimistic. Until the vehicle can classify what a person is doing on the side of the road it is not a viable solution. That person could be a statue, a child who could dart into the road, an person standing safely on the side, a police officer pulling the car over, etc. That kind of AI is much further down the road. By the way, that is one reason for the pre-scanning. The vehicle scanner can not tell the difference between a mailbox and a person let alone predict identify what that person is doing.
"Do you ever see a Google press release mention any of these limitations?"
Yes.
http://googleblog.blogspot.com... [blogspot.com]Notice that they never mention pre-scanning roads.
That is the smart way to start, but they are moving past that.
References please. I have never heard of any test under adverse conditions.
A team member took one from Google campus to Tahoe on a trip.
After the route was pre-scanned.

No, I just hate hype.

Re:Stop being so impatient....
"It is to counter Google's skewed data that make it look like autonomous cars are just around the corner."
Google has never said that. And this guy doesn't have all the data, nor does he know whats in development."why come out with a vehicle that has no steering wheel if it is not viable for another 5-10 years (by your estimate)?"
The same reason worlds fair showed tech that will be coming out in 5-10 years. Its' fun, it's cool. It also show they are thinking long term and not quarterly. It also shows a company spending money on RnD.
I consider all of that a good thing."Do you ever see a Google press release mention any of these limitations?"
Yes.
http://googleblog.blogspot.com..." All you hear from Google is a rising tally of miles driven and the fact that there have been no accidents. "
Which is pretty important."The fact that the miles are driven on carefully selected, heavily scanned roads under optimal conditions never seems to make it into the reports."
That is the smart way to start, but they are moving past that." Driving down the same roads thousands of times is not progress."
Of course it is. Same roads, different traffic. The same rods can have 10's of thousands of changing variables at any given time.
The team members are using them. A team member took one from Google campus to Tahoe on a trip.Do you lay awake at night just trying to think of ways to hate cool new things?
