1. A MQ-9 Reaper has a flight time 15-30 hours of flight time. 5. A MQ-9 Reaper can "bug out" at 300mph, and cruises as almost 200mph. 6. A MQ-9 Reaper flies as high as 50,000 feet.
It also carries 3800 lbs of things that go bang, and 1800 lbs of other stuff (sensor stuff I assume). Obviously the less carries the longer the flight time.
any reasonable study showing the aspies are more ethical...
I'm in the "euthenise everyone who has or claims to have Aspergers, since it's just a matter of time before they go on a killing spree" camp, so something from a well respected journal would do better to counteract my irrational bias.
Except that isn't the difference they are referring to.
They are referring to the following cases:
1. Driving recklessly outside a school at dismissal time, but not hitting anyone.
2. Driving recklessly outside a school at dismissal time, and hitting someone.
Most people (though not all...) would consider both cases morally equivalent. It's not the hitting someone that is the immoral action, it's the placing them in danger in the first place.
Except the US doesn't block them, you can get to those gambling sites and play them just fine within the US. Of course you might be breaking the law and will probably have problems transferring money due to those laws but that has nothing to do with internet filtering.
I'm pretty sure losing a few $10 million drones because you wanted to be sure it was the right target and got shot down for your trouble is going to be "career limiting".
Sure less motivation than "I might die", but still a motivation.
Because it is up for debate amongst a group trying to reach consensus before they present the agreed upon result to the everyone else.
Sure you can argue that that is a stupid idea in the first place, but the point of debate is for a group to reach consensus not to convince everyone else/get input from everyone else.
This makes much more sense in the Australian tradition of voting along party lines than in the US where it isn't the norm for everyone to vote with their party.
I see some similar lawsuits all of which Mattel lost. The publishers can already sue Gamespot for numerous reasons that they won't win (that their games aren't close enough to the front, that the lights are the wrong color, etc, etc) adding another is irrelevant.
So if I sell you a used car and you then find out that I had ripped out the stock stereo system and replaced it with a cardboard cutout, you are saying that Honda is responsible?
Gamestop sold a used game that did not contain all the material the new game contained. They need to state that upfront, not the publisher. It's possible a used game could still have the working codes, if the original owner didn't bother using them after all.
This is *exactly* the same as selling a used game without the manual - it's perfectly find as long as you don't hide that the manual isn't being sold with it.
The buyers should be demanding a lower initial purchase price due to the lower resale value.
And if the box says there's included stuff that isn't included in the resale version the seller needs to state that. Just like that have to state that the manual is missing, etc.
Unless IE9 is supposed to be IE using the new features in windows. In which case it wasn't a "screw XP" choice, it was a "lets see what we can do with the new toys" choice.
And "using the new features" is itself "impossible" to do on windows XP, and hence they aren't hiding anything.
well maybe, http://www.dolphin-emu.com/ but I've never used it, don't know if it works, and don't play those game genres (and I have a wii anyway if I did want to...)
So they announced a prize just over a week ago, and he managed to turn it down 4 years ago.
No wonder he doesn't care about stupid prizes, he's playing with his time machine which I'm sure is much more fun.
Or are you confusing the Fields medal with this prize? Obviously to the non-mathematics media (i.e. all of them) accepting or not accepting the Fields medal are both just about equally boring and not worth caring about. Refusing a million dollars is much more interesting from a news perspective than accepting it.
Refusing a $1 million prize will, I suspect, generate more, of the attention he doesn't want.
The journalists camped outside his home and calling his cell phone don't give a crap about some obscure piece of mathematics - they care about the weirdo who is turning down a fortune.
Sure you need no math at all to write a shitty web forum, but that's not interesting.
Of course different people have different definitions of interesting, and people who have good math skills probably are biased toward finding things that involve math interesting (that's part of the reason they have those skills after all).

Article specifically says intent was not a variable in the situation, the variable was harm occurring.
That the experiment messed with "intent detection" means if no harm occurred why would anything be morally bad in the action?

Since you are hopefully dead at that point who cares?

Doesn't make it a good thing of course.
Obviously you are completely wrong, since pirated games do in fact make money.
Diable 2 was pirated, yet made money.
Every* PC game that has made money, was pirated at some point, and yet still made money.
* Even MMOs have "private" servers running.
Just wait for the "game" to be an empty shell in which you can do nothing. And *all* the actual game to be "free" DLC included...
Which is exactly what I said.
And yet I've played through the entire game without buying any DLC just fine. And even had fun doing so.
Oh and do you have a citation for that?
I see some similar lawsuits all of which Mattel lost. The publishers can already sue Gamespot for numerous reasons that they won't win (that their games aren't close enough to the front, that the lights are the wrong color, etc, etc) adding another is irrelevant.
Yeah sure.
And they got sued for putting price stickers on them too!

What does linux have to do with it? What does open-source have to do with it?
It's PC games, a term that refers to games running on MS Windows.
The comparison was with the PS3, so how is the PC any different than is if you want to play Nintendo exclusives?
And what about those Wii owners who want to play PC "exclusives", what do they do???

There was a qualifier: "truly interesting work".
