Why don't you leave Slashdot and go to The Blaze? that way you can raise the average IQs in both places.
Energy spread across a larger areas and hitting at different times as opposed to all at once, is a good thing. 500 Tunguska level events is are better then one mass extinction event.
a) why do you think the will be interested in ending most problems? b) AIs would die without us. Someone need to keep the power going. c) You assume their logic is incredibly bad. Any device that conclude the best way to reduce cancer patient in a species is to eliminate them is not intelligent. d) You also assume we would create them without parameters.
You're view is right from 1960. Maybe you should update it?
Not really. They deal with the same problem, so sometime they seem similar. Of course, people ignore the misses(majority of sci-fi) and the details.
How do you move underwater? why you create a sealed boat the goes underwater. a 'Sub' marine, if you will. A concept far older the Jules Vern. Going into space?;also older the Verne. The shape of his fiction device was slightly different then previous ideas. We where in the age of science, so he made it science. 3000 years early it might just as well been God dust.
How to do create a walkie talkie that can also fit in you'r pocket? you have it fold in half. Do you think the communicate was the first devices to fold enough to fit someplace? The communicate is not a cell phone, never acted like a cell phone, doesn't have the capabilities of a cell phone, but lets say they invented it. sheesh.
Which is still better. A lot of little masses are better then one huge one. The energy is dissipated over a wider area, and it has more surface area exposed, so more of the mass will 'burn up' in the atmosphere.
"Netflix exists, you do not need to be streaming content to your friends and family." becasue netflix has everything ever put out and recorded? no? stfu.
"Unfortunately its guys like this that makes the services and service plans shitty for all of us because I am sure now Verizon will now impose some hard limit on the unlimited plan which will probably be targeted towards the upper 25% of their users." There is no reason to think that. All they did was tell him to switch to business and stop violating there ToS. which would have been a violation even if he had 1MB. Granted it wouldn't have come to there attention, but you see my point.
"But really, there is no reason for a consumer level customer to be using even 1 terrabyte a month in usage and not doing anything illegal, so doing so just paints a target for MPAA and RIAA and the rest of them." Thank you for putting a hard number on what 'legal' usage is. Without people like you what would the world be like..beside peaceful and smarter.
You should probably look up what intelligence is. Communication? nope. imagination? debatable. knowledge retention? nope. Problem solving? can be but thre is a lot of other aspects as well. So you need to state problem solving withing the person experience.
no, it means you are average or lower. You should have read the article. Spouting off without understand is another indicator of you mediocre intelllegence
"I would have thought a libertarian would be into educating himself," I have yet to meet won who has, I've met a lot of people who where libertarian until they did educate themselves on the topics.

"Do, or do not. There is no 'try'" - George Bush.
Too bad their aren't any actual data the support the idea that text while driving is more dangerous.
It's all assumption and really bad testing.
Lets see:
Snotty attitude? check
Can't think deeply? Check
Racist? Check.
Bible quote in Sig? check.

Much better to die.
If the dinosaurs where a live, they would point at you and laugh. .. then mumble 'idiot', then eat you.

Another quitter.

AH, so we will completely invent. build, launch and attach this new device in a few months, will we?
" the crusades took place during a global warming cycle"
sigh, that is wrong on many levels.
The have been different human civilization meeting and not fighting. Many of them.
Trade routes wouldn't have happen if people couldn't meet in peace.
We are aware of aboriginal people in the Amazon and we haven't gone in to wipe them out.
The premise is based on an incorrect look at human history.
"it goes well beyond what an individual user would reasonably use on their own."
who are you to determine that?
Except it wasn't a limit. It was high, so they called him to ask whats up. He could have had some form of malware running amok.
When they found out he was using it to violate his ToS; then they told him he need to upgrade to business.
It had NOTHING to do with the actual amount of data.

He got a call becasue of the huge usage. This is fine, and good customer service.
It terns out he was using his connection for things he agreed he wouldn't do.
They told him to stop mod switch plans.
It has nothing to do with unlimited.
Maybe that's why where's waldo isn't an IQ test?

How far would you run if the person you depend on to survive through an imaginary stick? and that person could have you killed with no repercussions.
Seems like NOT pleasing that person is dumb, from a survival standpoint.
Of course, animal IQ always seems to reflect what the owners thing not actual objective measurment.
I find that the lower the IQ the less likely they are to have read the article before making some 'point' about the topic.
". I tend to be a bit hyper-aware"
So? Oh, right you believe that means you are smart.
However, it's actually irrelevant to the test. DId you read the article and watch the test?
people understand complexity very well and deal with complexity extremely well...if it's something they are really interested in.
no, it means you are average or lower. You should have read the article. Spouting off without understand is another indicator of you mediocre intelllegence
one word:
Access
Ultimately, your goal is to get paid. If you don't do what the customer wants, you have failed to achieve your goal.
What if the ability to do X harmed others?
They aren't ponzi schemes no matter how many nut bag radio pundants call then that.
"I would have thought a libertarian would be into educating himself,"

Libertarianism is great ideals..when you're 15.
