As someone that grew up during the 'race to the moon'. We thought we would be colonizing the moon, exploring the planets and living the life of luxury. Well guess what it hasn't happened in 50 years.... What makes you think A.I. will do this in lets be honest here 25-50 years? I am not going to worry about it as maybe my daughter or her children MIGHT.

It's not the number that's being copyrighted. It's the method of generating the number which is trying to be protected. That is we're looking not at the result, but the implementation.
So I rip a CD and run it through my algorithm I have now generated a comparable number but according to copyright law I have violated copyright.
But the federal government doesn't need to pass laws restricting "state rights". Just do like they did with the drinking age...
You want more permissive rights... then NO highway funds for you.
Anyone with half a brain is skipping the commercials, using that time to get some food/drink, use the toilet, yell at the kids, channel surfing, or *anything* other than staring at the commercials.
You can't avoid commercials by surfing.... all the stations have synced their commercials so you have no choice but to surf to 'their' commercial.
I didn't watch any of those movies, but I think I once read a book which was printed on paper from a tree which was cut by a logger who uses a phone whose OS contains sourcecode partly written on a computer running Ubuntu.
So I guess 2015 IS the year of Ubuntu on the desktop afterall.
A map and please please give me a deck of cards....
If I can't find my location I will start a game of solitaire and wait till someone comes up to me and says play the black 3 on the red 4 and then I will ask them where the F*** I am.
The real problem is inertia and stubbornness. You want to know why one of the reasons Tesla did a sports car? Because they wanted to show that electric cars can perform just as well as gas ones when you want to floor it and "have fun" (because well, back in the 60s and 70s, the electric cars were decidedly non-sporty, slow vehicles that couldn't keep up).....
That's only what they want you to believe the real reason was the extension cord was too fragile and if they went 0-60 in 10 seconds the cord would break....
IMHO you are NOT a "typical" college student.... hell I work 45-50 hours a week and wish I could have the 1200 sq ft. 2 bed/bath apartment you "slummed" in... due to unfortunate....oops baby on the way I had to put my career on hold... damn if it wasn't hard knowing you are under paid for what you do but having to put food and shelter on the table for a new life seems in itself a handicap but I look at it as a reward. Had I been selfish and tried to better myself I would be labeled as a "bad parent" I decided that sacrificing my future for the betterment of my child was the correct way to go. If that meant digging ditches (thanks dad.. I am not a ditch digger) so be it I did it... did I get paid 25K? HELL NO! I got paid less than 20K and I had to work my ass off for every dollar all the while worrying whether I had enough cash to grab more diapers, have enough for unexpected emergencies... (which in all the Doctor Phil episodes where I am a dead-beat parent because I didn't have enough money to handle such)
I did the best I could... could I have made more money by sacrificing my family life... yes without a doubt.... but was that the "politically-correct" thing to do... I still have reservations... I am nearing my seventh decade of life on this planet and wish I would have pressed the EASY button. Am I complaining Yes... but complaining that I didn't have the breaks someone else had... is sorry for bringing up Aesop but is just Sour grapes... I made my bed and I slept in it... and for all the other delusional people out there... my daughter will graduate HS next month the rewards I have received more than make up for the sacrifices I made.
Now more to on topic... Rescind laws preventing the discharging of student loans let a person decide not the law!
I have tried to report the problem by dialing 9-1-1
Where is the Emergency? 9-1-1 is SUPPOSED to be used for Emergency call
9-1-1 You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think..
Screen not visible, which screen?
The "Screen" that contains your speed,engine indicators and a bunch of other stuff?
Duh where do they find these people?
You can ALREADY put a pump into your garage that will fill your CNG vehicle (depending on where you live, this cost would be as little as $0.75/gallon equiv)
$0.75 a gallon ?
Bullocks..... the road/fuel/usage tax is probably gonna be higher than that.
People forget that alternative fuels sound cheaper than gasoline.... but that is because they are not figuring the tax.
Get caught not paying that can be expensive....
Why do you think they dye off road diesel?
First, you can't do it, because standard procedure in cases like this is to duplicate the drive contents and do all analysis on the duplicate. If your system destroyed the data when a "duress" password is entered, it would only be destroying a copy.
Yes but then they are in violation of Copyright...
What is illegal about an internet connection?
What is illegal about bittorrent?
What is illegal about a PS3?
Come to think about it...
What is illegal about a window?
What is illegal about a brick?
What is illegal about me throwing that brick through the window? Careful here.....
It is my window.... and my brick....
God forbid anyone have a name like Dick or Peter are they suspending anyone with a surname of Dick or Peters?
Political Correctness has gone the way of Zero Tolerance..... you can't even use humor/sarcasm/irony as that "MIGHT" offend someone.
Ok how bout this... The truth.... Oh wait we can't use that either it "MIGHT" offend someone.
Where do we draw the line?
Not a troll I really want to hear the rational arguments that will be posted.
I'm not understanding your point in singling that out, as each of those other things in his list are also specific taxes that the government collects to fund those systems. When calculating the government's budget, the add all those sources together for a single statistic, even if the funds are separately collected, accounted and dispensed.
I do not think so.... Unemployment taxes get pooled into a separate pool and are divided up
your $ that you paid into Unemployment does not go to pay for the welfare queen's food stamps.
If this were no so then we would have no problems with the Unemployment fund running out of funds we could just tap into another pool of money that might have just a little surplus.
Thinking about calling this a tax on employers?
Do Self Employed workers pay Unemployment Insurance? I know they pay SS Insurance.
Actually, Social Security is the biggest chunk of the national budget at 21.05%. The Department of Defense is 16.85%. Actually if you add SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment and Welfare, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services
Excuse me for being ignorant but I was taught that birds were not mammals they were more akin to dinosaurs than to mammals.
Guess I need to go back to school and get a refresher course or have they changed the laws of physics so would I have to retake that also and does 1+1=3 now because of inflation.
Next thing you know they are going to tell me that Columbus didn't discover the North American continent and the world is still flat.

I bought my house roughly 10 years ago, now it's worth 3 times the price I paid for it
First rule of investments... It is not worth 3 times what you paid for it till you have the money in the bank from selling it.
I live in Texas and Hispanics are NOT a minority.

Nuts with a Voter ID card.

Careful, there. Being pedantic is known to the State of California to cause cancer.
Are you sure? I heard from a reliable source that the California labels cause cancer.

Anyone who works or worked for Monsanto, needs to be killed across the board.
Hmm be careful you or your 401K may own shares of Monsanto then you will be forced to kill yourself.
Let me guess, it's your fucking constitutional right to evade the law now?
Why yes.... the constitution doesn't prohibit the people from anything ... only the Government.

Uhhm No Unemployment is paid through unemployment insurance that employers pay to the government.
The higher your rate of claims against you the higher your rates will be.
