You must not be a Finn. Tax Evasion and Doing Things Without The Proper Permits are very serious offenses in all the Nordic countries. That shit may fly in Somalia, Wiki, but not here.
Why would they even chase you so that you notice? With ubiquitous surveillance in our future, where are you going to run to?
(As i understand it, something similar has been standard procedure for the police in my country since they got helicopters. There are never any long high speed car chases. If someone tries to run, the police send up a helicopter and it and the police cars follow the fugitives discreetly, until they either they stop somewhere and are then arrested, or until the pursuers decide to phone the next police district along the road to set up a road block, where they are stopped and arrested.)
Oh, you meant that the computers were 20 years old as well? In that case, yes, since no current proprietary OS or IDE would run on a 486, and Emacs on Linux probably isn't what you want to give an absolute beginner, they're out of luck. (On the other hand, I learned to program on worse hardware than a 486, so if they can just get the computers to run...)
You can learn to code BASIC on a $5 hand-me-down 486 from Goodwill. Any Internet connection can provide you with more help documentation and tutorials than you can shake a stick at.
But there is no way that a 486 can run today's web browsers or display today's javascript-heavy websites. I seem to recall those thingies struggling to run Netscape.

In the end, there will of course be legislation, so that others will have to change their behaviour. That's what it's all about.
How do you sell something "unilaterally"? Is that the same as giving things away?
Yeah. And what a silly question, when any-one who has seen Terminator 2 knows that robots can be both good and evil.
"what if the public find out I'm a crook and string me up for my crimes?"
*stamp* "TOP SECRET"
So, problem solved.
But he said he will make more tutorial videos. Surely something is discoverable if you can learn about it in a tutorial video.
You may be right, but remember that while the automobile created a lot of jobs, it also put a lot of horses out of business.
Finally, we'll all be safe. Finally.
See in North America, we have this premise that "whatever is not spelled out in law is permitted."
That's... That's crazy. What if someone gets upset, or if something isn't perfectly safe?!
(In principle it's like that here too, of course. But in practice it matters very little, for we have laws about pretty much everything.)
censorship for no good reason.

That is, what libertarianism means in practice is that if your oppressor isn't using violence to oppress you, you're on your own.
The problem with this logic is that society needs a certain number of people to work in those low end jobs.
Meanwhile, at the Google Robotics Division...

But you've got to admit that this is at least a) news and b) for nerds.
Meh, the wealthy and well connected have always gotten a different brand of justice then the general population.
Only if I have enough lawyers and subtle political threats to explain why a corporate fine is more appropriate then jail time.
The word you are meaning to use is "than": "...than the general population." "...than jail time." "Then" means something else entirely.
As result, ... you push the innocents into the hands of bad people if you mistreat them.
And as a result the secret police must get more funding, and less restrictions and oversight. Or the terrists will kill your children.
1. We know that the number one creator of empathy in children is time with their father.
How do we know that?
Agree and agree. I thought he was right* on that one, but I don't agree it's a bad thing.
*) Well, maybe. Come to think of it, cash is also "untraceable", and our rulers seem to be able to tax that with no problems.
I have yet to see a compelling reason to switch.
How about no more taxes? Or at least making it easier to avoid some of the taxation.
So, what is the punishment for twelve accounts of computer fraud these days?
Maybe all protests are censored as well.

Reading, writing and math hasn't changed that much in twenty years. And those are the only subjects you need to know in order to learn to program.
There is a 0:th law...
Ah, yes. Good old "A robot shall take no action, nor allow other robots to take action, that may result in the parent company being sued."
Ah. So he's looking for the download tab?
