really?? I mean sure it is proper but who uses the term maize any longer??
(for those who are not up to date, maize is the native american term for corn)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize
TL;DR Maize is preferred in formal, scientific, and international usage because it refers specifically to this one grain, unlike corn, which has a complex variety of meanings that vary by context and geographic region.
This is not to say that it'll be hard to stop the proliferation of military robots, but - is this really a good idea?
Sure, us Westerners, we can say how good a thing this may be - on the other hand, Gaddafi had some problems after a while with his troops seeing the misery they were spreading. To some extent, the same is true for Assad's Syria..
Can you picture what would happen, if rulers like those got their hands on military robots that will just unquestioningly mow down their own people, if the people don't like their "esteemed" ruler any more?
Or - picture them in the hands of North Korea...
Once they get deployed in one nation, no matter how well "behaved" that one nation will be, they will appear in other places - under less enlightened "leadership".

This is the smartest, most insightful thing I've read all week. It will be my go to now for debates about militarized robots.
It's a big toy store where everything is slightly more expensive then elsewhere.
They have a baby section though, I think that gets all the business, but the rest of the place is usually dead.
I wish they would expand into more adult stuff.
Not sex toys (they couldn't possibly compete anyway) but high-end geek stuff like Anime figurines etc. The stuff you see at comic book stores.
I'm issuing you a ticket and court summons for the Production and Distribution of a Bad Analogy.
Unless that cellphone is strapped to your face that is.
I think it's time that America invent, patent and produce it's own lethal injection drug.
And that we then move that production to China where cheap costs will allow us to execute 100x the number of people.
People that have turned to a life of crime because of losing their jobs to overseas manufacturers.
I'll go beyond the article's mere talk of economic policy to the two other points grabbing a lot of press:
Nixon spied on the DNC, Obama is spying on everyone everywhere.
Nixon's need to keep the Vietnam War going, to increase his odds of re-election, allowed for the Kent State Massacre.
Obama has the Drone Assassination program as policy. Could also call him out for not dealing with the Occupy movement in a responsible way
and saying a "Robin Hood" tax would just further impact an already hard hit economy...
Although the whole concept of trickle down economics has been disproved time and time again.
Yes, that needs citation, and damn it we're back to economic policy again.:(
T1: RU rdy for the big boob
T2: Wat? lol
T1: Bomb stupid spell chk
T2: Tot Bro got packback rdy
T1: YOLO for Allah!
T1: Rmbr, post pic or it didn't happen!
Is it like that? Do terrorists txtmsg each other like teenagers?
Well, when poe-news shutdown everyone figured it was because Chet Faliszek finally got off his fat ass to help make Half-life 3.
Poe-news had a lot of this type of stuff, so see, I connected those dots: Politics->Old Man Murray->Chet's fat ass->Nerds.
Damn... didn't he have two girlfriends for a bit? Can we have them make out? I'd watch that.
Ok, me and the other executives are on board with this project. When can you start shooting?
We'll air it first on History after 3 hours of Ancient Aliens, and then when the season is done, on continuous loop for G4TV.
I know some of you are thinking this, but it's not, ok.
It's not some complicated mess of geometrical shapes to describe the universe in kaleidoscopic glory as envisioned by a lunatic with a Spirograph.

So if my computer just happens to download your copyrighted files by algorithm, it's okay because it was all done by a computer.
Sounds reasonable to me.
There's an app for that: http://sickbeard.com/

No, more like the cellulite riddled butt cheek of a MILF.

Oh the high-pitched and squeaky humanity.
I'll wait for the movie to come out.

I feel I'm best expressed through the modern medium of memes. Opinion
The question you need to ask yourself... are you worth the ~$80,000 to blow you to hell?
Oh hey, it's BreathFart's Jews for Hitler magazine... Ah huh Ah huh... Ahhhhhh. I didn't know Obama was a Satanic Muslim.

I would think HP having a CEO that's not a sexual depraved incompetent moron would help a lot more.
They'll have cameras that go up inside your ass when ever you sit down, if that's what you mean. Assuming they want to out do the Russians.
And way way less dangerous than those atomic cars in Fallout 3.
The icon for the section could be the Red Ring of Death.
I don't get charged the $5... I have been "tapped" (like a Maple Tree eh*) before though.
*That's our word! You Americans don't get to use it! We only say that to each other to lessen the sting of it.

The gun registry cost $2 billion. Not Health, but was an IT fiasco. *shrug*
