  1. It's already hard enough to get these people agreeing on something when they meet physically ...

  2. Or fly electric

  3. "ACT NOW IDIOTS" is indeed the most appropriate language for the stupids.

    The "by 2030" from TFS does give the wrong idea that they could still wait some more.

  4. When they all flew to South Korea for their conference..

    Insightful, really? "These" people come from around the world, they have to meet ; would it be in SK or in the US, that'd be the same. They don't travel for leisure, they meet to talk important matters.

    A few weeks ago a message appeared asking if I wanted to turn it on. I declined. That's all.

    You seem to be a lucky person.

    Google should add a button "Whatever" ; that would save even more trouble.

  8. 'mutt' is alive, still?! wow...

  9. not using GMail has solved all my problems with GMail.

    Sure. How many other problems did that generate?

  10. ...aaand in Google Apps you can't disable that.

  11. Google works by the number. If you complain, they don't give a dam. If many complain, or some PR is involved, they might.

    people are more interested in winning arguments than in solving problems

    Or people just want to be listened to.

    You would think that page criticizing Google would make it easy to find in this lengthy text how to switch that feature off...

  18. Its mean distance from the Sun is about 80 astronomical units (AU)

    and

    at the astounding distance of 2,300 AU

    ?

  19. Netflix produces shows and movies based on recipes (for most), quantity more than quality. Shows like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, The Wire, have a distinct identity ; none of their creators would let anyone decide the next storyline.

    Too bad I already posted something. This is a +1 insightful .

  21. No literature prize is being given this year

    They should really start reading slashdot.

  22. "If everybody is selected for, there is no selection and no evolution", evolution is not only a "positive" thing. There is an evolution. By mixing genes among everybody, including people who would have died without modern medicine, humanity gets weaker, generation after generation. Human beings are dependent upon the "progress" they created, and that will be more and more so.

  23. Have a look at wikipedia, then.

  24. We haven't magically evolved somehow

    Yes we have. We are weaker. Bad diet, less physical activities, ...
    Human bodies are becoming more dependent upon modern medicine, until medicine can’t cope...
