So at the end of the day "success" is a combination of multiple factors and IQ alone is non-determinant. So who cares about IQ anyway?
Who cares about "success"? Happiness is much more important. It's the simple things in life that matter. The best things in life are free. You don't need a high IQ to be happy.
Let's turn the situation around: suppose you and your children are walking on the street. Will you still prefer the autonomous car to protect it's single driver at all costs and kill you and your children instead? And then imagine how many autonomous cars will be on the road in the future, all with that same logic built-in...
It's not completely stupid. Solar panels on the roof are like a range extender. And battery almost empty during a ride, and the next charging station not close by? Stop at a restaurant, eat something while the battery recharges a bit, and you are good to go.
It's a simple deal: She gets to keep her vast country-ruling powers, on condition she never uses them.
Power that can never be used is only imaginary power. It's like a car salesman saying "this expensive sports car now belongs to you, but you are not allowed to touch it or get inside it, and it will always remain here".
Maybe this guy proves that despite your genes you still have a choice. No excuse like "I'm sorry your honor, I couldn't help killing him, it's because of my bad genes".
Actually, people count from zero without realizing it, in my opinion. See how they count:
1, 2, 3, 4,...
Each number actually represents a change of state. The initial state is zero. When people say "1", it means they change state from zero to one. So they actually count from zero.
So Elop left Microsoft to head up Nokia, where he made supposedly very idiotic changes that had the effect of destroying Nokia's share price. Microsoft then buys Nokia at a fraction of the cost it would otherwise have been, and Elop returns to a prestigious role at Microsoft, where he's in with a shot at the CEO role.
That doesn't look the slightest bit dodgy at all.
EMBRACE EXTEND EXTINGUISH.
Well in this case it looks more like: INFILTRATE - WEAKEN - ASSIMILATE
The automated driver, has a key advantage, it doesn't get distracted from driving, its primary goal is to get you from point a to point b as safe as possible.
<pessimist mode>
What if this thing gets used by a transportation company, and they reprogram it with a new primary goal: to get the cargo from point a to point b as fast as possible?
Don't underestimate the power of capitalism (also called "greed").

This reminds me of a John Connor quote from the movie Terminator 2:
"Easy money!"
The whole point of Java is that it is supposed to be platform independent. So you shouldn't need to get the OS version at all.
I know, I know, reality is different. But that might explain the apparent lack of such an API.
ACADEMIC OR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION NONCOMMERCIAL RESEARCH USE ONLY

Screw other people
And this is what is wrong with the world.

I wonder if they wrote it more or less from scratch, or if they managed to reuse a lot of code from some other platform (e.g. Office for Mac OS X)?
Now that would be a good use for the term 'bootstrapping'.
But less military spending is bad for the economy, right?
Right?
They only think about the children when it fits their agenda.
A lot of artists use Auto-Tune these days.

Yeah. And if they don't want to remove it, they should put it back on the bottom where ctrl is now. Ctrl is used way more often.

With a non-breakable space you can make that one word.

The carport with lens is stupid, though.

Slashdot should implement a sarcasm sign.
Oh, you work with Michael Widenius?
I wish I could mod this up to Score 10, Funny.
I thought it was butterflies...
You could put out a bounty for making the web site viewable without JavaScript. :-)
No he can't. He doesn't have JavaScript enabled.
And obviously, he cannot enable it for that single website because that would be a crime against humanity.
So... they think they can escape the divine judgment by running away to Mars...
Really pointless, as they will find out.
