I'm using a -3 funny modifier, the problem is that not all "jokes" are modded funny. It would be much better if the poster could mod his/her own post to indicate the intention of the post.
“Nobody knows how it got there,” she told The Times. “The best guess is that it was dropped by a bird, either that or it was thrown out of a passing aeroplane.”
Seriously what's the problem? At a certain age you can decide for yourself what you want to read/see/play. Rate it M and be done. A game is not real, so it never can go "too far".
They just don't like what they see and decide that it goes "too far". ROFLOL. There are many things I don't like, eg. gay porn, and you don't hear me making a scene out of it.
Because there are still people buying offline? And the remaining offline retailers get more and more customers as everyone else stops putting games on the shelf.
Day trading is not a quick get rich thing unless you already have a lot of money and it is still a lot of work and stress and mainly a form of entertainment. Most people work to make money not to serve a higher purpose. In that light it is not much different from regular jobs. Once rich one might do something really useful with its money, like setup a company and thereby providing jobs and new products. It's possible.
What use is television? It mainly encourages to do nothing and gives raise to social isolation. Are program makers morally wrong? Is making money with poker wrong? There are so many money making activities that you could consider a 'moral hazard' that your point becomes pretty insignificant.
* car pulls of the road * "damn.. if the car doesn't start within 5 minutes I will be late for this meeting" * driver gets progressively more stressed as time passes * "fuck I am late, but not all is lost, I can still catch the reminder of the meeting.. only if this GOD DAMN $%^&(@ CAR WOULD START" * One hour later. "Right.. I missed the meeting. No big deal. Too late to do anything about it anyway. I'll blame it on a flat tire or something." * Driver relaxes, Car starts * Driver arrives one hour late at work
Indeed. Daytraders that give in to their emotions are hopeless anyway, a Rationalizer won't save them. You need to plan ahead so you know what to do when things go down, and then stick to that plan.
Not true because the proposed button/switch would only need to be used exceptionally.
There are enough possibilities to make it fool proof. For example, there could be two push buttons, one is to reset the scanner to normal levels and one to enable high levels. An electronic timer automatically resets it back the lower level after an hour, or when the scan session ends. To prevent taping down, the buttons must be released before it can be pushed again, this is easy to detect using a few flipflops and AND/XOR ports.
Exactly! Mod parent up. I was going to say something along the same lines.
TV is not cheap so it must be attractive to a broad audience and episodes are produced in merely a week or two. It's insane to expect a tv serie to be seriously interesting.
Also, he should improve his own writing before talking down other people's stuff because I don't find his books that much interesting when compared to, for example, John C. Wright or Alastair Reynolds. (but that may be just my taste for action talking here)
I incorrectly extrapolated the meaning of the post I replied to because I didn't read the parent of that post. Posts without "Re:" in the subject line usually don't have parents.
Yes, transistors in a cpu operate on discrete levels: on or off, but transistors can also be used as analog 'switches'. For example, transistors can be used to add two or more analog values.
That depends on their viewpoint on life, doesn't it? What are the goals and ambitions of a machine? Humans require resources and this waste of resources may not fit in their long term plans. The rational decision would be to terminate humans.

Let the gamers decide.
well... with old drugs you have to check expiration dates.

Dude, we already have that on the net. ':/
Because the mind does two things very well:
-thinking useless thoughts
-thinking about the future

It's not only part of the job.. I suspect that for most traders it becomes the main reason to continue trading.

The glasses look pretty normal.
Your point about using it in the privacy of your own home makes more sense, it's just a matter of time before the emergence of 3d p0rn.
Article doesn't say that the level is displayed on their screens.
