  1. Re:Professor Moron! on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course that "worker-slave" distinction you like to put in there as some overly pessimistic pronouncement is living so far above the few wealthy of the prior era that it is almost completely uncomparable.

    Yea because the average lifestyle is exactly the same now as it was 100 years ago or even 1000 years ago. Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm, but I read your post as if you actually believe it.

    I'm not an expert and of course wouldn't read the TFA but from reading the headline and a good part of the summary, I've deduced that "impact"="bad" and "Indirectly impact"="scary bad".

    Hope that helps.

    Wasn't that also in the movie Event Horizon? The shortest distance between two points is not a stright line, it is zero. Fold the space between two points until they are right next to each other, be the second point, unfold space. Warping of space is a valid theory accepted pretty universally, do so in this fashion may not be possible.

    so if we move the pole a little further north does the northwest passage eventually become the southwest passage? or maybe just the west passage?

    Why can't you? Sure you may not be able to use it on the previous providers network as they most likely have some rules against that, but if you want to do what ever you like to your phone you can. Just don't expect it to work with someone else's (ie the networks) property.

    A better car analogy would be buying tax free farm grade gas for use in standard highway vehicles. Buying feed stock because it is cheaper than buying seed stock is nearly the same thing.

    This argument hasn't worked for gun manufactures either. If you sell something that can be used for illegal purposes, especially if that is the designed purpose (IE shooting and killing or planting seeds) then you are responsible for that persons actions.

    exactly, if you're someone that wants to eliminate someone else's job. You shouldn't be surprised when that someone else uses their power to make your life more difficult. I fully support the IRS in this. Anyone that supports smaller government should be inspected by the government more thoroughly.
