Hah! You kids and your damn sticks and clay. When I learned programming, we didn't even have opposable thumbs to hold anything with. In fact, we weren't even vertebrates. We had to input data and code in our DNA, and wait for millions of years of evolution to get the answer. In fact, the only reason you have eyes today is because I once forgot to free memory after allocating it.
The evil in the Kremlin rivals the worst evils of Chinese society.
I have to disagree. China's got nothing on Russia when it comes to oppression, human rights violations, and the constant terror under which ordinary citizens live. The way I see it, the Chinese government may be oppressive, and in its attempts to keep its opponents quiet it does commit human rights violations, but Russian society is simply saturated with corrupt, violent criminals, with no remorse or compassion whatsoever. No victim and no crime is out of bounds for the Russian government and Russian mafia, which are often indistinguishable. So, I'll say it again - China's got nothing on the degenerate monsters which control every aspect of life in Russia.
well, don't tell the CIA, but if i could, i probably would. and i'm by for not the smartest person on earth, and neither am i the most misanthropic one.
To someone my age, we're living a science fiction life. Thank you for reminding me of that. If it wasn't for that fact, I would've abandoned all hope long ago.
can someone explain to me why server farms and wind farms are "farms"? last time i checked, an X farm is where you grow X. do whey grow little servers in server farms (aka servlets)? do they grow wind in a wind farm? what the hell is up with naming conventions these days?
this robot wouldn't be the first one to succumb to man-eating under extreme circumstances. the only way to be sure is to starve it, and lock it in a room with McCain.
i for one think it'd be a lot neater if there were fewer life forms on earth, and specifically in the oceans. seriously, wouldn't it be awesome if all the seas in the world were covered my a similar goo?
Wtf? You can just replace a photograph with a better.
yep. and as a start, you can represent everything with stick figures. or, better yet, ASCII art. then you can incrementally improve it, because it's text!
although understanding and fixing are two very different things. even if i know exactly what's in a broken piece of glass doesn't mean i can put it back together.
is there an end to the human body's complexity? first they tell us dna has all the answers, then they tell us its dna + environment, then they find out its genes + weird stuff everyone thought was garbage and didn't have any functions, now this? WILL IT EVER END?

you got it all wrong.
First, learn theoretical physics (incl. quantum physics, string theory, the whole nine yards).
Then, learn chemistry.
Then, learn electronics and digital logic.
Then, do what $parent said.

shouldn't it be "you protect national security"?

like i always say, insanity is ultimate freedom.
right, "suicide".

well, i'm sure that's not impossible. but i'm also sure it can't be done for at least another 10-15 years...
you call the CDC.
what if you have a religious belief that commands you to commit blasphemy? would the universe implode?

You have to go outside for photos
