"Police and District Attorneys do across these United States every day." no they don't. It happens, and it usually end bad in the few cases it does happen
" It means you get to say whatever you want on your own property." no, it doesn't. Freedom of Speech implies you are talking to someone. If that speech poses an immediate threat to others, or libelous, then you don't have a right to that.
"owners can simply add conditions..." Really, you want owners to put the rule for every social contract on a ticket? Robber Baron and company stores, that where it goes. We have seen it in history many times. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, we see more libertarian stances are unthinking bullshit.
Why don't you take you head out of Rand's ass long enough to actually think about what you spew out of you pie hole?
You are right. Jobs are at risk. Once the technolgy gets to the point where a generic robot can be program for different tasks, the job numbers in the service industries will plummet. Pretty much ever fast food place, maid services, gas attendant, barrista, will mostly disapear.
Millions of people won't have work. What do we do? I'm not saying don't have robots.
DO we make it so companies can't own them and peopel can own only 1? then they can choose between working or having their robot work? Do we put money into science and arts education so people can try to earn a living differently? could those fields handle the influx of qualified workers?
Do we put a large tax on corporation and companies that use them and then divide that money up among everyone? Housing? Food? This will happen. And before some posts 'they will create more jobs" no, they wont. the era of automated system creating more jobs then they replace us over. It was sketchy to begin with. Why? Robots will build and repair robots.
I would love to exerts in a field become the editors for one or two articles in Wikipedia as part of the academic responsibilities. Nothing that would take more then an hour a week.
1) So? Different opinion in entertainment doesn't make them smarter or stupider. 2) By definition they are celebrities. 3) I got nothin' there. 4) Irrelevant to the issues.
Things happening you don't like doesn't mean they are stupid.
"Give a female who cooks a blob of leftovers or dough and she can pick the correct container that will hold the container without waste or a lot of air space. Most men can't.
Give a female a pile of dishes and a dishwasher vs a male with the same dishes and dishwasher and the average female will more effectively load the dishwasher than the male."
Wrong, and irrelevant.
"Females have spatial reasoning- most of them just didn't play with lego blocks." I better tell that to my daughter and her friends. Tell me what they should be doing oh wise one? Dumb ass.
"My IQ is a 142 by my last test, but it's only because of years of tech work. If I lived on a farm all my life and never did the variety of jobs I've done, there's no way I could score that."
ah, the 'What I do makes me special' fallacy. I'm not sure why you think farmers don't use their minds.
" IQ testing is subjective horseshit." no, it's fine but you need to keep in mind it's properties and application.
It's no an indicator of success, it's snot a replacement for motivation.
Why are you comparing 3 reactors in the different country with three different regulatory control?
I would argue the Three Mile Island shows us the regulatory system working, since exactly no one was harmed from that event.
That said, I think the government should build and Run Nuclear power plants. Sell the electricity at cost to energy companies who can make money through. Remove bonus and person gain from how a nuclear plant is run.
" Everyone of these disasters began with a coverup" Not true.
I would say:
corporations do not have the moral authority to run today's generation of fission nukes.
No. They are talking about " computers, tablets and smartphones"
And hardly anyone has a phones. They have small computers. One of the applications is to make phone calls. I can drop my device into a cradle, and use it to send email and surf the web. Open docs, create spreadsheets.
Assuming current rate of power* growth, by 2016 the small device you carry will do everything except play high end games, Cad, video editing etc..
*I don't actually think that will happen unless some key fab technologies are rolled out soon.
Becasue Gartner is really good. They take good data, and create conclusion for that fixed data.
They arn't perfect, but the are pretty damn accurate. I listen to people from Garter, and they know their math. and they general have great methodologies.
"The average computer user is probably more ignorant of how computers work *now* then the average computer user 10 years ago" 25 years ago? sure. IN the 80s pretty much the only people who had computers where people interested in computer. since about 92 or so, people have somputers becasue they are intersted in what they can do.i.ie programs the run.
" It amazes me that people do not care about how these marvelous machines work, but they don't." It shouldn't.
Do you know how a city water system works? that's a marvelous creation. Do you understand the metallurgy used to create a nail? do you know the variety of chemical choices the can be made when making gas? The vast majority of marvelous thing that you use you don't really care how they work in any real detail.
Not creepy, human. No one can be interested in everything. There are some people, and maybe you are one, they got into programming becasue computers are really powerful in all areas of life, and computer programming means when I am interested in a topic, I can get a job in that industry and learn from experts.

And me.
Correct, OTOH what's the markup after that? a measly 3000%?
It's being worked on. Radio lab did an interesting episode on this
Becasue petroleum will run out, so getting replace technologies before then is a good idea.
Also, its carbon neutral
also, reduce dependence on outside forces.
There is more to think about then just money. Think in terms of overall value.
False.

Because this technology won't be used elsewhere? You might as well as said "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers"*

You might be thinking of the ad with the little girl. The ad may have been for the Lisa.I think it was around the same time as the US festivles.

"Despite being exceptionally bright"
haha. your posts say otherwise.
" It's not that people are getting smarter though. It's that people are getting educated. "
have you taken an IQ test?
". If your average 50 years ago has a 30% illiteracy r"
and those people wouldn't be taking IQ tests. You have nothing.
Try again.
1) So? Different opinion in entertainment doesn't make them smarter or stupider.
2) By definition they are celebrities.
3) I got nothin' there.
4) Irrelevant to the issues.

Yes, nothing spread intelligence like the dark ages.
Well done, you figured out the a test by humans for humans applies to humans. Genius.

grasping 3 dimension concepts has become the norm, as has being able to think abstractly.

No. Right now.
608 million android device.
1.68 BILLION windows devices.
devices being defined as " computers, tablets and smartphones"
SO, maybe you should put down the pipe and actually read the article.

"Arrogance is usually a sign of stupidity."
no it isn't.
Also, don't confuse 'Smarts' with 'knowledge'.
people who becomes an expert in one field, start to assume they are experts in other fields.
It's worse at the bachelor level, and decline at the master and PhD level programs. Note: I said DECLINE, not GO AWAY.
