I don't know if printing is the right word. I think making test tube babies that are then raised by some kind of AI to be more or less human might be the closest we get. There is still a lot of technology that we need for that (artificial womb, an AI that would simulate some kind of social interaction) .
Most people would not go on a journey if they knew they had to spend the rest of their lives and next 500 generations' lives on that same journey.
You purchase windows to install on your computer, but you don't purchase amazon, so its a little different. It would be more like Walmart not selling your product because you don't agree to their rock bottom pricing they want to force on you. Which is also an issue.
That DARPA video looks like they took the meme "a GUI interface in Visual Basic" and then watched all the episodes of Ghost in a Shell back to back. I don't think that will be terrible useful, because geographic location doesn't matter enough for what they are doing. Give me a terminal any day.
Still, if you could make something like that for my superiors to watch how many things my scripts do in a day, then we are golden.
I do not mean to imply that they didn't deserve it, or that I would not have done the same.
I was just pointing out that we as Americans like to consider ourselves morally superior to our counterparts, but in reality we engage in a lot of the same practices.
Sometimes it is cheaper to blow up a school than send in people to determine if there are terrorists there.
Sometimes it is cheaper to have the CIA poison someone who has a different opinion than it is to debate them.
Sometimes it is cheaper to have a motorcyclist throw explosives on the outside of a nuclear scientist's car than it is to try to get the country to stop its program.
Sometimes it is cheaper to execute a cleric rather than have trials to determine guilt.
We are not much different than the people that attack us based on our ideas, we just have a lot more money than they do. It is too easy to dehumanize others and not care about collateral damage when we fight our wars.
Because god forbid anything be bright or light-hearted.
Fine, you can put JarJar in there, but at least make me care for him this time.
Gritty and dark is always better? And everyone has to wear black, or really dark grey. Or maybe dark brown, but it has to be dark enough that it looks black.
You can do gritty without it being dark. Its more of a roughness of the area. Think Hoth, that is gritty and white.
Yeah! Make it like Mass Effect! That ended well right?/sarcasm
I liked the mass effect more than I did the Star Wars prequels. Yeah, the star child ending was weird, but that was the part that wasn't gritty. The issue people had with it was that the premise of the series is that you make choices that matter, and it didn't really.
I would like a story that doesn't need funny aliens to carry itself. The original stories were basically samurai westerns. The space part was thrown in.
Making it a bit darker in a gritty way would be nice. More character development.
I saw this on reddit today, and I kind of agree with where that's going.
Most of which are parked pages. Of active webpages, Microsoft has 11%, and Apache is 52%. Most likely some web hosting company uses it to park domains, but the people using the website set up Apache/nginx when they want to get some work done.
I am not sure why they would do that (any webserver can host a static webpage without many hits), perhaps they get something for it.
Some people want to make a profit, some don't. It gives the people who want to make a few dollars of their model get paid, and lets those who just want to make something offer theirs free. See https://www.assetstore.unity3d... for an example of this now. If you don't have all the skills to make a game, you can still make money off of selling assets.
I have no idea how this will go, but it will be interesting.
The obvious answer is because it is probably illegal to track everyone everywhere, but as long as knowledge of this doesn't go to the court no one will know and therefore they cannot rule it illegal. That's sketchy.

Truly it is the year of the Linux Desktop. Long live :w

Do you want Mothra? Because that's how you get Mothra.

When you listen to what people say and then fire a rocket at their car based on that, it is censorship.

Perhaps Carmack should challenge them to a trial by combat, on Quake using the Occulus Rift. I bet Notch would assist.

It wouldn't be the first time that keys were used in this way. http://arstechnica.com/securit...
You gotta watch out for that Doug.

And I should have bought SpaceX stock last week.
Co-locate the server racks and when they flood shut them off?
Maybe. There are a lot of ways to harden electronics if you set that as your goal. Build it in a Faraday Cage, your gun is metal anyways.
Instead of calling them "smart guns" we should call it "biometric safety" or something like that. It is a more accurate definition.
A smart gun sounds like one that will somehow be self aiming or stabilizing.

Yeah, there seems to be an inordinate amount of off-topic or intentionally offensive comments. This problem seems to be getting worse.
They need to use safe drinking water, because if they started pumping sewage into the ground people would get sick even faster.
