"Begging the question" is related to the fallacy of circular reasoning. What you're looking for is either "Raises the question" or "Invites the question"
Are you kidding? That 6 million figure is the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day.
His legs look virtually identical to some attachments I've seen that healthy bipeds can strap onto their legs.
I don't know the exact price, but I can easily ballpark it well under a hundred thousand dollars.. not six mil.
They're made out of the same stuff as helicopter blades, and drastically increase your leap and stride.
Once the machines do all of our farming, transportation of goods, preservation of goods, and reparation of other machines..
There is nobody left to pay for food..
One giant, self filling, solar powered vending machine.
Eventually they'll build our houses, and basic citizenship will include food and shelter.
"[Scientists] may have found a key increase the conversion efficiency by a factor of 100."
Let me guess, this is involves some form of fusion.. and the machines have found all the energy they will ever need.
This happened in a dream once, that I was so sure was real..
How fitting that 'tata' also means 'goodbye'
I guess it's a kind of 'toodleoo' to our o-zone layer.
People may complain the US produces more pollution.. but this car hasn't hit the market yet.
Wait another 10 or 20 years, those global pollution charts are going to drastically change.
This is a true story.. I knew a guy for almost a year, and one day he tried to forcibly rape another one of my guy friends.
What the fuck! I never saw it coming.
The offender is no longer welcome around anyone I know..
What's strange is that he is actually a good guy.. I just think of it like somebody with a sickness.
You can be a good person, but if you have a serious drug habit you'll steal from your children.
Honestly the guy can't be trusted. ...but I still wouldn't ban him from the internet. WTF!
It seems to me if you can't download porn and:fap::fap: on your free time, all that energy is just going to get built up.
Shouldn't we be ENCOURAGING these people to release that tension in the privacy of their own homes, not taking an outlet away?
(NOTE: I am not endorsing the legalization of child porn. I think that's a different story altogether)
Absurd! I agree. But to answer your question, sex offenders are much more likely to be repeat offenders.
We can't lock them up for life, because we haven't quite stooped to the level of "PRE-CRIME".
Yes, they will probably re-offend.. but that is still a probably, and as a free nation we're still required to give them that chance.
That's the reason that they have sex offender registries, and mandate that you reveal your past to your neighbors.
Also, another thing that makes them worse is the psychological impact it has on their victims.
If your car gets stolen, or if you get punched in a bar you aren't likely to suffer post traumatic stress disorder like a rape victim would. On the same hand, I acknowledge what is labeled as a "sex offense" these days is rather loose.. and this law is indeed rather cruel and unusual.
Touché! This is an excellent point. Being my own boss, and have worked through the night yet again - I should have realized it on my own accord.
Now if you'll excuse me, it's back to slowly killing myself.. coding my application for 8+ months that has yet to see the light of day.
Electric shock will keep you awake too. In fact, I'm reminded of a study where rats were jolted awake every time REM was detected.
Eventually they died, and from what I understand humans will eventually die if they are sufficiently sleep deprived as well.
Sleep is healthy, and that should be obvious.
Equally obvious is the fact that some people will abuse drugs to increase their productivity.
The candle that burns brighter, melts away faster.
People will make their own decisions, with their own lives.
No law is going to change that.
As long as they're not cracked out, trying to rob me and score another sleepless night I say live and let die.
Is it still cheating if you're actually prescribed these drugs for a disorder?
And I will avoid the easy trap of picking on your typo's.. (e.g. "ceating" =D)
Threads aren't harmful - what an asinine thing to say.
Bad programming is harmful. BUGS are harmful.
The article you reference is about map reduce, which is actually more about distributed computing than threads.
If you're really so concerned about concurrency programming errors, just use executors in java.
Even a monkey could do it.
Want to control threads manually but you're having problems debugging?
Check out the multi-threaded testing framework: http://code.google.com/p/multithreadedtc/
In a war zone the only real thing that gives the U.S. an upper hand over our competition is the elevated level of technology we possess.
If we stop pursuing these kind of ventures, we will eventually fall behind in our status as a world power and become weak and vulnerable.
Aside from an all out global nuclear war, what else could possibly give us a chance if we went to war against a billion+ population country like china.
Flat out if we want to win in that kind of situation we're going to need robots to fight for us and balance out their surplus of numbers.
Okay Okay.. But where can I get my Partially Gelatinated, Non-dairy Gum-based Beverages?
Obviously WaWa and their $2.49 smoothies, $1.99 shakes are still reigning supreme.
post script - while I think the mart idea is cool on the surface, they went WAY overboard with all the characters plastered everywhere.

Tey don't call them "Al Gore"-ithms for nothing, ya know.
A "fact" database.. where ever did they get the idea of storing knowledge as a resource for intelligence?
That is totally out of left field.
I feel like a child by the ocean, dwarfed next to such massively innovative thinking.

That's a recipe for an awesome game of beer pong.
I was referring to his comment "Those prosthetic legs (in the article) ... probably did cost six (6) million dollars"

Indeed.. I go by Michael Layth online, everywhere I sign up. Has nothing to do with my real name.
Are you describing "Demolition Man" with sylvester stallone?
I would mod you, but I already posted in this article _

From what I hear google seeks to triangulate your position based upon cell phone towers, rather than utilizing a GPS system.
