No, and they explain why. Maybe you should read up before misusing words and then inserting you own unfounded hypothesis.
I mean seriously. You specifically state you don't understand, but still give some half assed reason as to why. It's mind boggling stupid that you would do that sort of thing..
"Just giving people devices has a really horrible track record." and? The first cars had a terrible track records, as did the first attempts to fly. Getting things in orbit has a horrible track record.
Pretty much everything had a terrible track record at the beginning. Considering the amount of brain power going into tablet design, and education improvement, I am convinced it just a money problem. Hell I could improve education using a tablet.
"Equipment doesn't get happy, it doesn't get sad, " neurologically, happy and sad out just outputs from programs running in the mind..as it were.
I could make a robot be happy or sad. If I have a robot shed mechanical tears when you delete a file. I could even make it a chemical reaction. Much like humans.
This idea of feeling, and consciousness being some sort of irreplaceable, non-repeatable, metaphysical state is extinct.
The next big things humans need to do is get over themselves.
You can not make the statement until you define consciousness. IN the most broad philosophical* sense, consciousness is self awareness. My computer know when someone else interacted, takes steps to prevent harm to itself, Is ware of it's individual components and there current state. Three are programs that were created independently, but when they come together that make a new and better program.

You dislike MS because there goal it to make software that is intuitive on and individual bases even though the applications are widely distributed?
My friend, they are to be applauded for that goal. And they have made a lot of progress, and humanity has a lot more knowledge on how things work, what fails, etc.

" then pirate their paid app to send them a message." If you have made it so they don't know you have it, how does it send a message? And if they know you took it, then the only message it sends is that you will come up with any excuse to get something for free.

Get the remastered original series, some popcorn and start there. Have fun, don't treat it like a serious exercise. Then Khan ST:TNG doesn't hold up well.
I would be pissed if someone was forced into a position as well, but that doesn't mean we should ask why women , or any group, chose one field of another.

My experience with my daughter and her girl scout friends is that once the get to middle school, a lot of pressure is put on them not to like math. From TV, to parents, to other kids.
Now, I don't stand for that nonsense, and my daughter(11) is learning algebra through summer.
Yes, I am a mean dad that has actual summer goals for his kids. Fear not trolls*, it's only an hour a day in the mornings for math and Spanish, and an hour for electronics in the evening. My kids have plenty of time to goof off; which is important. And frankly there more you know about science, math and electronics, the more interesting their goof off time is anyways.

Use the word properly.

this means tables will be the next leap i education.
Anyways, using a tablet to replace text books needs to happen.

If they can be confined to three laws, then they are not AI.
Assuming you mean 'no'...

"Unfortunately, computers do *EXACTLY* what they are told."
Have you not heard of emergent behavior?
"What action is he required to take?"
Dig up Asimov corpse and slap it upside the head.
If you think people are pedantic, you should try computers.
Add to that, the laws where flawed. I hear people say we should institute those laws and I think "Did this person actually read the books?"
If only there code is open so you could change it yourself..or pay someone to change it.
The OS option choice is up to the manufactures and providers.
So stuff you google hate up your ass.
Hooray for rationalization!

" the last 50 years of Biology and Paleontology has raised legitimate objections to Darwinian theory that need to be dealt with.
Such as..?
no? I didn't think so.
When one side has mountains of evidences, and accurate predictions, and the other side has 'Nuh-uh', there is no debate.
Even if Nessie was real, it would in no way imply evolution isn't a fact; which it is.

ST:TNG doesn't hold up well.
Because not all needs are the same?
City planning isn't easy.
I was going to say that with a link to futurama complication of tube scenes. But there isn't one on you tube. I mean, come on internet!
It will correct, but not until it starts to return to actual engineering, and not some ad hoc crap fest.
I would be pissed if someone was forced into a position as well, but that doesn't mean we should ask why women , or any group, chose one field of another.
It is a very male competitive industry.
And that kind og joke is why women don't go into the field.
OTOH, you think women are your's for the herding, so I shouldn't expect you to be civil.

Home of the disappearing machine. Got to get me one of those, the people I could eliminate.
no. Implying that is was basically a dumping ground for those people.
