FTA: The Centers for Disease Control reports that the chance of contracting mad cow disease, even after consuming contaminated products, is less than one in 10 billion, if at all.
I figure since we won't even have 10 billion people for a while yet, we're safe!
pull up to a 4-way stop and the little old lady has the right of way. She's sitting in her car waving the other two cars to go ahead.
Add a sociopath (you know, a normal commuter) as the 4th at the stop. Kindly Lil Ole Lady still with the right of way waving like crazy.
If a Johnny Cab can't interact in a reasonable fashion with other (human) drivers, it's not ready for prime time. But keep on working on it.

All I know is, Everything you know is wrong.
But Google is recording it. And they are using the equivalent of a shotgun mic to do it. They actively gathered this information. They are recording (if we stay with the walking down the street analogy) every conversation of every person they can hear with that mic. That's not just rude in my book, it's bordering on stalking.
I have a radio scanner. I find it useful to listen to police and fire during emergencies. But, even tho the scanner is electronically capable of receiving analog cell phone frequencies (and hacks are available on the net to restore this capability) it is hobbled by the manufacturer from doing so. For good reason.
Google is displaying the arrogance of the engineer. 'I can do this. So I will. Just because you don't see the advantage of my actions isn't sufficient reason for me to not do this. And anyway, it was publicly posted in a locked filing cabinet in a basement restroom marked with a sign that said 'Beware if the Tiger'. But it was posted.'

A common misperception. This was, in fact, a copyright violation and not a patent infringement. Unless, of course, it involved a penguin, which is, as yet, not copyrightable. (I'm aghast that my spellchecker allows 'copyrightable')
Am agreeing here. Am reminded of article which said. "Microsoft is a bunch of arrogant business people. Google is a bunch of arrogant engineers."
If security depends on code it is insecure. Period.

The general solution to poker is to end the game with everyone else's money to make yourself richer. Some people have already applied this strategy to the economy.
Which is, of course, Score: 5 Sad, because of the vast number of people who think this is the 'Natural Way of Things'.

"All things being equal", "Assuming that", "Based on the assumption".
These things trump any mathematical prowess or relevance.
All things are never equal. And assuming that the market works in the real world like some 'free' idealized form is demonstrably wrong.
It's more like math doesn't model real human interaction.

Would you dare to make an exact forecast where the limits of growth lie?
People are dying right now because of political and economic limits. And the sad thing is that it looks like it is the political and not the economic/agricultural problems that are limiting people's access to food.
How many people must die so that a fraction of 1% may live like gods?

... What, exactly, makes slide-to-unlock 'obvious', other than the fact that someone else did it?
The slide latch on my front door makes it obvious.
Maybe 20th Century Fox should come out with a "Bender's Game" themed slot. It's got some LOTR in it.
Honestly. Breaking it now once and for all is the best and easiest for all concerned.
But first get all the stuff out that you can.
They realize quite perfectly if they have a major spill or blowout then the game is over.
You mean like BP's game is over?

And Economics isn't necessarily a positive-sum game. There are losers. Just as in Poker.
