The point is that the machine in this case should be absolutely immune to being exploited in this way. If they stand to lose millions if they run glitchy software, then they shouldn't be running glitchy software now, should they?
Exactly. You're not helping kids by shielding them completely from the awful stuff out there. Of course, if you expose them so completely that they end up doing drugs and binge drinking anyway, you've gone off the other side of the boat. There's a balance that nobody seems to be able to comprehend anymore.
No kidding. I had second thoughts about writing a realistic bomb disarming scene after I realized that I might have to cross the American border this year.
When you pay to have that license plate slapped on your vehicle you are also agreeing to all the terms that come along with driving that vehicle on the government owned road. Obeying the speed limit, not driving drunk, etc.
Because it is months late and is an extremely ham-handed method for solving the problem. It's like nailing a door shut because you don't like the hinge squeaking.
It does depend on what kind of working out you do, true. And there are ways to completely prevent carpal tunnel, or reverse it. I'm not entirely sure what it has to do with this argument.
Also, trigger pull > mouse click & left thumbsick > wasd for body movement
Except that mouse move > thumbstick for aiming, which is where the speed really counts. No point in pulling the trigger unless you're actually locked onto somebody's head.
Wasn't there already an article on Slashdot about a large percentage of medical researchers wilfully falsifying data? Do you really expect it to be so very different in the other fields? Students who cheat their way through school will continue cheating in the real world.
Which would be fine and dandy if they bothered to enforce those laws with any kind of stringency. Also, technically speaking, an artificial engine noise that does not run through the muffler system would probably be exempt from those laws.
All you need is one overly noisy vehicle (I'm looking at you, motorcycles) and every other vehicle becomes effectively silent and deadly. So not only will electric vehicles have to be mandated to have a sound, how loud it is will have to be legislated as well.

So if the machines are so good... why did this one have an exploitable glitch?

Say that again? I couldn't catch you meaning through the flying slobber of rage.

Oh s&&t.

I'd try to reason with you, but your signature marks you as beyond help.

An article made by a researcher who might have been falsifying data you mean?
True. But since when was it Slashdot tradition to argue about anything actually related to the article?
Your spelling betrays you. You must be an under cover liberal.

There's a difference between strength and endurance after all...
Which gives all the other news organizations the legal precedent to do the same.
Double whoosh.
Also, grow up. You're not going to convert anyone with that attitude.
Whoosh.

Hello Godwin, you're late to the party.
I'm already in Canada and I was checking out ranches in Australia the other day...
All that money won't be worth the paper it's printed on in a few years anyway.

What kind of cavemen do you have for friends?
