As far as that goes,A few items that seems to be overlooked in the plans for an autonomous car rollout - 1. Who is Liable when there is no human driver,just an AI, in an accident? The Manufacturer? The rider? Who? 2.The robot drivers might be OK for the urban areas,but worse than useless in rural areas where even decent landline phones, reliable electric lines and paved roads are not always available,let alone a wireless grid to help guide the vehicles. I live in Southeastern Kentucky,which clearly has Third World conditions with infrastructure - with no one in any industry or Government giving a damn nor any plans to improve it anytime soon. 3.Cost - the more features any given vehicle has,the greater the cost and vehicles which barely last long enough to get them paid off before they fall apart.
I,for one,am not willing to pay $60000 or more for a car or truck that won't last 5 years. Hell I drive a 19 year old Ford Ranger pickup and don't plan on replacing it anytime in the future.Buses and Public transportation doesn't exist here.What then? back to riding a horse or walking to town? (With me having a prosthetic right leg,that isn't a viable option either) These MUST BE Answered before you can fully turn loose AI driven cars everywhere.
This will be the most corrupt and crooked administration since Reagan and Nixon -I see a Depression coming that will make the 1930s looks like a walk in the park.All Frigging hell is fixing to break loose and I would not be surprised if a 2nd American Civil war breaks out,this time the Rich and Corporations vs everyone else. The Time of Terror of the 1790 French Revolution will be a cakewalk compared to what is coming.Welcome to Nazi Amerika -America Failed to learn from history and brother are we gonna pay dearly for it.I don't expect to live very long after the healthcare and Social Security is destroyed by the Rethuglicans.
I hope folks are ready for sheer hell to break loose because it will..Folks like me can look forward to dying as our Medicare and Social Security are ripped away from us. America has collectively gone Insane
Not bad enough that Windows 8 (a Turd) and Windows 8.1 (A highly polished Turd) doesn't work right on an average desktop,now ads with search ON THE DESKTOP? Micro$oft needs a punishing backlash for this type of crap. Need any more reason to migrate to Linux? I don't
I got diabetes after getting sucker punched by a psych patient who I stopped from killing a nurse.Thanks to that Jackass,I have no pancreas to make insulin.If it isa any consolation,he got himself killed not a month later.At least I'm still alive.
For Type 1 diabetics,like myself.We are plagued by non-healing chronic open wounds that set up into gangrene.I lost my right foot to such a wound that started as a blister
Netflix,with any DRM introduced setup means Netflix can kiss my ass goodbye as a customer.I refuse to support any restriction.The MAFIAA can please finish dying off.
Yea,but when the client was a pure asshole about the replacement to begin with,I have NO sympathy.BTW he is long out of business now and serving 5-10 for attempted robbery.
LOL! I've actually had this happen.Guess what.The replacement turned out to be so incompetent that the client lost his ass.Then he wanted me to come back and try to repair the damage the replacement had done.By then,I had moved on to another job that paid much better.Told him"you made your bed,sleep in it"
Those are sweet.What I did is the unauthorized part of my Wi-Fi redirects straight to this you tube video ->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWz75MYteX0 The song reflects what the leech does after they realize that they can't leech anymore.
I remember Thunderbirds and loved it.Tickled me when a Movie based on the series was made.I have the entire Thunderbirds,UFO and Space 1999 series here at home,so I can watch them any time I want.They may be dated now,but still much better than the pig crap that passes for Sci-fi now days. One favorite thing I liked on Space 1999 was the character Victor Bergman sniping to David Kano over the main computer.Kano was so protective about the machine.That reminds me of Dr.McCoy and Spock with their(friendly) war of words. When I first seen any of these,they were being syndicated on various stations.Iffy at best as where I live,(SE KY) Sci-fi is not very popular here due to the lack of thinking brains.Sorry folks but NASCAR where you drive in a circle making left turns while being at least half drunk isn't my idea of TV entertainment.I have better things to do.
You're right on that,but the black hole was not the focus of the episode,but accidental time travel was.Black Sun also depicted what is called spagettification on objects falling into the hole.An asteroid and an Eagle were ripped apart by tidal forces.Turns out that this was correct,according to what we know now.It wasn't until the early 1990s that Black Holes were proven to even exist.That's when Stephen Hawking conceded his famous bet with Kip Thorne over black holes. I wonder if Thorne enjoyed the year of Penthouse he got for winning that bet.
My favorite episode was called "Black Sun" I do believe that was the first use of a Black Hole in any TV Sci-fi series up to then.I know taht after Season 2,the Alphans were left hanging.Not until 2004 when the fan flick"Return To Moonbase Alpha" was the series really concluded
They do here.This is a stand your ground state and I'm armed to the teeth.Besides,I know all the local cops.They know me,too.I keep their computers running.

is fine but how about the ability to block the data from being sent at all? This is still not enough to get me to use Windoze again
Yea,sure - and I'm Galron,Head of the Klingon High Council - which I damned sure ain't
We will be lucky if there still is a USA within a couple of years.The Trumpanzee hatefest has begun

If the spying wasn't bad enough,now ads ON YOUR HOME COMPUTER? NO MORE,Micro$oft -get off my machine
Yea.but the best advice I've seen on Windows 10 is to dump it completely - I went to Linux
Use a screwdriver(to open the device )and a small pair of wire cutters( to cut the camera and microphone leads)
- problem solved
NO ad is acceptable in my eyes - that is why I use ad blockers in the first place
Not bad enough that Windows 8 (a Turd) and Windows 8.1 (A highly polished Turd) doesn't work right on an average desktop,now ads with search ON THE DESKTOP? Micro$oft needs a punishing backlash for this type of crap.
Need any more reason to migrate to Linux? I don't
Yea,If you believe this steaming pile of NSA bullshit,I'll sell you my bridge in Brooklyn real cheap.
I agree,but it has DRM still,which means they won't be selling me one
"Windows 8 has proven to be a TURD.No matter how Micro$oft tries to polish it,Win 8 remains a TURD."
Precisely.They backpedaled so fast that they are now tripping over their own feet-and lying tongues.

No,he resorted to robbery after his business failed.And This aint NYC or DC,we jail crooked bankers here in SE KY
