Engineering out or in particular traits are all well and good, but... can you ever see humans being so conformist as to have identical children with a low biodiversity such that they're susceptible to something like that?
Yes, just as soon as we breed conformity right into the kids.
Text to speech for programming and editing should be pretty important.
That I know for sure can be done in Linux, my source of information on all the text to speech in Linux stuff comes from a blind programmer who uses it for that reason.
Um, Google? I mean, they sell marketing of course, but I've never seen an ad from them off of PBS. Hell They didn't even advertise the Google enterprise search themselves, they got Dell to do it for them.
Thats thanks to the game developers, not the Wii controls though.
I would absolutely love to have almost any game I own on 360 for the wii instead, even with the weaker graphics, simply because point and shoot is so much nicer than trying to aim with a joystick. But aside from a few remakes (RE 4 on the wii is an incredible thing btw) all the Wii really gets is Nintendo games and crap.
Text to speech in Linux actually works pretty well according to the people I've talked to who use it, in some cases better than the windows options. (GTK integration is pretty complete to my understanding). Some complaints of stuttering though. Ubuntu, and probably others, even have text to speech available in the installer.
The big problem is that the kernel likes to randomly drop one the text to speech modules thats needed for geeks who want to hear the start up messages.
Braille readers are a much bigger problem than the text to speech in Linux, the old serial port ones work fine, but expansion serial ports don't work right for it, and those are getting hard to find. Very few USB braille readers have Linux drivers. (Which i don't get, braille readers + a command line interface seem such a good match).
No it isn't. Green energy is limited right now. Using wind farms to power trains means the wind farms can't power homes, and extra fossil fuels get burned for those.
(Still better than the cars the train system makes unnecessary though).
Something is very wrong with the Swedish political system.
Don't they know the opposition party is supposed to claim they oppose unpopular laws like those then do nothing about them once they're voted into power.
What you describe is pretty small time, most of the time. Yes when an election is close you can game the system right now, but for most elections, ones where a candidate is ahead by at least a percentage point, fraud on that scale would be too damned obvious.
With internet voting, where a.01% change and a 1% change require the same amount of effort, swinging an election via fraud becomes much easier.
The university is also the landlord for many students. If he lives offsite the solution is obviously not to use their network, and to use lab systems when he has to. If he lives in the dorms he has no such option.
Jeff is hardly a maniac, he's an expert in computer security. Far from a PR stunt, this is an effort to get somebody who knows how to secure computer systems involved in *gasp* security.
In this state at least, the power and gas companies aren't allowed to raise rates without permission from the government due to the whole natural monopoly thing. Presumably they'd seek a similar solution to verisign's monopoly.
Then further investigation is needed. Though as the OP points out, most people can't really do that much investigating on their own. Bias also starts to come into play at this point, even in the best of people.
Ah, no, I'm not accusing the OP of bias*, just poor communication. I'm accusing the people he's talking about, specifically those seeking justification, of bias. If you're approaching a subject without bias you'd first seek reasons for a conclusion, no justification is necessary beyond referring to the original reasons.

presumably, there'll be a no fly zone around the plant. Not terribly remarkable.
Are you seriously suggesting that humans are rational? Do you know *anything* about history, psychology, marketing or politics?
Forget? No, I've never seen the ads. They did have a neat comic, but you had to go to their site to see it.
I think that describes any programmer. But yeah, I can imagine trying to do a regex off of a screen reader, it makes me want to cry.

Refusing to give your name is a crime in at least one state (nevada), the supreme court upheld it.
I don't believe a police officer can arrest you for simply refusing to give your name
They can.
Um, no, its the electoral delegates. The delegates are chosen via the election process.
Congress does have some voice in the primaries, how much depends on the party rules.
You forgot: 'violation of constitutional rights under color of law'
Since there was no crime involved in the warrant, you can hit the judge with this as well.
Older BD discs can be cracked. They changed the DRM standard after a free viewing tool came out.
15k a month?
I need to start one of these. Either that or this is where you tell me your operating cost is 16k a month.

Federal appeals court rulings are binding on patents (state law does not apply). Bilski is binding until its actually overturned.

*I do assume this, but its not actually relevant.
So the OP has no rights because he'snot a major corporation with a trademark?
Riiiight.
