People think they can predict what their actions will do in real life situations and they totally miss it yet again.
Think about it in from a larger perspective. People are trying to control and manipulate society and economy as much as they are trying to manipulate the environment around them, and they are failing.
As much as people are failing in manipulating such simplest things, as the rat population in this story, imagine how much more failure there is in all other endeavors, for example when a gov't tries to manipulate economy by doing whatever it does, it's astounding that after all of the failures of such attempts in the former USSR or Cuba, the people still believe that gov't should be meddling with economy to try and correct the market instead of allowing the market to work by removing its violent power out of the market place.
Just like the failure of removing rats in this story, the people will fail to fix economy if they try to do so by gov't action.
Of-course in case of rats, it's still possible to do something, people can always poor more and more poisons around, which of-course will poison the environment but just may kill the rats, but in case of economy, it's hopeless. Get gov't hands out of it.
The problem with Stewart (not so much Colbert), is that too many people get their news from him, a comedian (or is he??).
- no no no no no no no no no, the problem is not that Stewart is encroaching into the domain of news, the problem is that news as it is delivered by 'main stream news media' became indistinguishable from comedy.
-Hey Jimmy, so what's up with that guy, another scientist with a Jupiter recording? -Yeah, that's 529 Jupiter scientists this week. -I know, eh. Must be paying well to be a Jupiter scientist. -Not sure about that, they all live in some place they call "mom's basement".
Assange leaked information that caused real-world consequences. Big consequences, like death and torture, not small consequences like Microsoft missing out on seven bucks because you pirated Windows 2000.
- you little piece of shit, how about the actual truth: USA government + military caused death and torture in Iraq and Afghanistan and also other places by proxy.
Wikileaks may actually help to stop this insanity that USA is descending upon the world.
and if there is no check whether to 'skip' some part of the chip, but instead the entry inputs are scrambled and encrypted with a key, which is a 'one time pad' key and an input without that key will not yield the correct computational output values then you can't just 'skip a checkpoint', you actually need a one time decryption key as part of the input to generate execute the code correctly.
An excellent robot platform would be upgradeable to better parts over time, so new arms/hands/legs/motion controls/battery units/cameras and other sensors could be installed and so more 'brains' could connect to it via a wireless network, then it would be up to the programs to provide this machine with more and more capabilities. Sure, it doesn't know your apartment and can't wash dishes right now, but give it a server with a good map of your place and add more software to 'teach' it to wash dishes, and there you have it.
Plane? Watch who you are talking about. Chuck Norris would just spit in that direction, that would be only 100 times more devastating than the actual nukes used and he wouldn't need a plane.
Then you should find a transcript for it, here is the synopsis:
Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin. Series: UCSF Mini Medical School for the Public [7/2009] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 16717]
Fructose is very special when it is taken out of the fiber where it grows (such as the fruits/vegetables) and given to people pure to drink, and you would understand it if you watched the presentation I linked to.
But that's stupid, why do you have to be on a plane to kill somebody with a freaking ninja star or a knife or any weapon?
What kind of stupidity is that, so you may or may not kill someone, you'll end up dead, but you want to be doing this on the plane where you are certain to get caught and nowadays probably also lynched?
There was a joke in the former USSR, it went like so:
An American and a Soviet are arguing who has more freedom in their respective countries. American says: -In USA anybody can just stand in front of the White House and yell "Down with Reagan!", nobody will do anything to do him, it's legal. Soviet says: -In USSR ANYBODY can just stand in front of the Kremlin and yell "Down with Reagan!" too, and nobody will touch him either.

But of-course this kid was not an American standing right in front of the White House and yelling 'Down with Reagan!', I suppose that's the difference here.
I was always reminded of this ridiculous stand by Sherlock when I watched the Married with Children episode where Kelly shows to be doing this exact thing: she was able to hold a number of things in her head perfectly in a FIFO queue but only that number of things and if she learned anything new at all, she would lose the last thing from the queue. So with this ability she was in a contest and would have won if the last useless thing that was thrown at her didn't push out the fact she had in her head that it was her father, who won 4 touchdowns in a single football game at school, the look on Al's face was priceless both, when he heard the question and was sure she'd be able to answer and then, when she lost.
So the question is of-course this: was Sherlock a gorgeous blond girl from Chicago?
of-course the most successful of the criminals are so bright, that they are doing what is not even considered crime, but they turn that into crime, they repeat it billions of times and they take very very little money from each separate crime individually, so that goes right against your proposition:)
ah, science, military style, what proportion of orange juice needs to be added to gasoline to make sure that the best results are obtained to burn people alive? They already figured that out of-course and found better additives than orange juice too, something glycerin based I suppose. Pulling rocks into space to drop them on heads of people who wear turbans with best precision, that's the more current stuff, isn't it?

what about an octopus or cows or pigs or fish or chickens?
Those are alien enough, but if they have souls is it correct to eat them? :)

bullshit, a huge load of bullshit.
We would have just as many people crying if our armed forces were not doing anything to fight what these people did
- I know who'd be crying - USA military industrial complex.
SS money is gone and it's not a consequence of the war, it's the goal.
We probably won't find out until most of us are dead.
- and when most of us are dead, then what would it mean for us to find out?
Is that similar to this lawyer warning everybody that one day Michael Jackson would 'wake up dead (2:03)'?

you can download video from youtube, this is how:
http://keepvid.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DdBnniua6-oM
what you will see is that fructose is in all processed foods, including breads, juices, beverages, fast food, etc.
So rather than arguing with me, watch the movie and direct questions to the doctor from the presentation.
Cheers.
and you'd be wrong, because, the fiber slows down the ingestion of sugars, it doesn't increase the chances of its absorption.
http://www.ucsd.tv/search-details.aspx?showID=16717 - that same video not from youtube.

If your biochem text caught fire from a single comment, what would happen to your entire world view if you watched this video?
Fructose is liquid alcohol, which is responsible for the obesity epidemic and became a problem with Nixon fixing prices on food.
But that's stupid, why do you have to be on a plane to kill somebody with a freaking ninja star or a knife or any weapon?
What kind of stupidity is that, so you may or may not kill someone, you'll end up dead, but you want to be doing this on the plane where you are certain to get caught and nowadays probably also lynched?
it's a nonsense point.
Well, this report is wrong, this thing didn't happen, HOWEVER your comment is also out there, with the rest of the gov't rules and regulations.
WTH would he be doing with those ninja stars on his own private jet? Hijacking himself? Fighting the attendants? Really?
Yes, he is rich, no, it would make no sense to stop him from carrying knives and even guns on his own plane.
