I didn't say that we shouldn't make the best of what we are. However, that isn't the only thing we should do. Human beings want to be remembered after they are dead. Some people will write a novel or try to invent something useful to humanity. Some start a company or try to make a lot of money, then they decide to form a charity organization to give some of it away (e.g., Getty, Gates Foundation, et cetera). Whatever you do, you want to create a legacy. All of the famous people have legacies. Even not-so-famous people have legacies (e.g., your great-granfather who came from Poland to work in a factory in New Jersey). Legacies can be good--being remembered for working to promote one's family or society, or bad--being remembered as a drunk who neglected his family and was a burden on society.
Anwyay, I think recreating society in a perfect form would be a great type of legacy. Of course, if we created intelligent immortal robots, we would have to give them some kind of drive or ambition to go out and explore the universe. If we didn't, they would presumably just sit around playing video games until the end of the universe.
I like the ideas in that talk. That God created the world perfect, but it's screwed up because of sin. Our bodies and minds and behaviors (though originally created in God's image) are imperfect because of sin. Death didn't exist before Sin. This idea actually fits in with my idea that the goal of humanity should be to create its successors, a race of perfect robot creatures who will live forever without death.
For certain people, it is important for the timestamp/position to be as exact as possible. For most applications, however, correlation of position to within 10 seconds (interpolated linearly) should be fine.
I don't think you'd want to lug a 6 pound camera plus lenses up Longs Peak if you could carry a small camera and a small GPS unit. If you're not making poster-sized prints of your hiking trips, the correlation method would be fine. Just use a GPS unit that can store a track (i.e., points every 1 seconds or so).
I thought the troops were there to keep the hoardes of dirty, malnourished North Korean refugees from fleeing North Korea to seek a better life in China.
Of course we have a choice: Would you like to play a game? >list games Ball Global Thermonuclear War >play Global Thermonuclear War How about a nice game of Ball? >No, I would like to play Global Thermonuclear War. Very well...
Seriously though, of course we have a choice. We didn't cave in to the USSR, I don't expect us to give a cowtow to N. Korea. Seriously, expect a carrier battle group in the Sea of Japan ASAP if there isn't one there already. Expect half of the U.S. Navy including a dozen submarines loaded with 60 ICBM's each sitting off the coast of North Korea very soon. Oh, we'll be playing "ball" all right.
The marshalls would presumably be in plain clothes. Though, of course, the crew of the plane would presumably know who they are, and terrorists could use this to their advantage (e.g., I will burn this stewardess with hot coffee unless you tell me who the sky marshall is).
Isn't stalking and threatening definately not one of your rights? And it isn't even occurring online, except when he connects to the phone to get the GPS info. Enlighten me, please.
1. Buy car power adapter (12V) for that cell phone. 2. Take apart cigarette lighter box thing. Save the circuit board with the voltage regulator on it. 3. Attach wire to the positive (+) input (the part that was attached to the tip of the cigarette lighter plug). This wire will go to the battery. Maybe attach either a alligator clip or some kind of pin that can stick through any existing power wire (follow one from the battery, they commonly use red insulation for +12V). 4. Attach a short wire and an alligator clip to the negative (-) input. This can attach anywhere to the car chassis. Try to make a good connection. A good connection will make the device more reliable. 5. Hide the thing so the victem won't find it (consider painting it black).
(I am not endorsing this kind of behavior at all).
If cars were maliciously plotting to kill us in large numbers, then I think we would be worried about them. If cars were trying to produce nerve gas or dirty bombs, then we would be more worried about them.
I'm a decent Planet of the Apes series fan, so I have to tell you that you are incorrect. Caesar was the son of Cornelius and Zira, who were speaking apes from the future who came back in time. Caesar was raised by Ricardo Montalban, who substituted an ordinary chimpanzee for him when he was a baby and the government killed off Cornelius and Zira for fear that they would take over the world.
Anyway, Caesar had the power to speak since he was from the future. The first word he taught to the ordinary apes in Earth present (or near future) was "No", however.
How about the stereotypically attractive people start wanting to have sex and procreate with the nerdy social outcasts? How about that for a social revolution? I'm ready for it.
Seriously. Ever try to cross-compile a package that uses configure to build? Yes, you usually use "CC=whatever-gcc configure --target=whatever --host=whatever --build=somethingelse", and that works some of the time. But sometimes the configure scripts use a thing called TRY_RUN[...], which compiles a test program and tries to run it on the build machine (which will fail since it's the wrong architecture). Usually, if you're cross-compiling to a system that is similar to your build computer (e.g., Linux on a different architecture), you can just do a native "configure", then hand-edit the Makefiles to change gcc to -gcc.
Configure is fine for things that are meant to be built natively (i.e., not cross-compiled) on UNIX-like systems. Anything else though, and it's a pain in the ass.
VVAW wanted the U.S. to pull out of Vietnam and hand it over to the communists in Hanoi. Kerry was one of the higher-up leaders and organizers for VVAW. How much more pro-Hanoi, pro-communist does he need to be? Not only that, but in the 1980's, Kerry was in favor of peaceful coexistance with the communist Soviet Union.
Anyway, all you really have to do is listen to Kerry's speech in front of Congress regarding the Vietnam war. Either Kerry was a war criminal, or he was lying to Congress. In either case, he is unfit to be President.
In Los Angeles, there are doctors offices all over the place, and they're usually associated with UCLA Medical Group. They're peppered all over the city, so I imagine that if a doctor left UCLA Medical Group, he'd have to leave the city or go into a different specialty.
They want to prevent it from happening in the first place. It's easier to stop this one employee from working for the competitor than it is for them to stop Western Digital from selling hundreds of thousands of hard drives a couple years later.

I don't know much about that. But even if it all amounts to nothing in the end, that doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.

Maybe they're just calling it "open source" not "Open Source(tm)".
No, he means these.
yes, yes, my mistake on the terminology.

The point is that schizophrenics shouldn't be allowed to make web sites.

It's the first based on Microsoft's 'Windows Mobile software for Portable Media Centers'.
Technology needs to be a plot device that is used to create or resolve conflict in order for it to be sci-fi.

VONS has it around here (Los Angeles). Ralphs doesn't. Go figure.
Is that like the weird word that Amidala is from where Queens are elected and Senators are appointed?
