true, but taking your hands off the keys to eat requires a bit of mental effort if you're doing something engaging.
the idea is that it's to do with the lack of eating because you're preoccupied, not because computer use requires actual effort....unless you're on a pornographic website.
really? Hacking: a crime that will get you some jail time and computer probation. Cyber Warrior: a profession where you hack and get paid for it by the government.
If the government wanted to beef up their web security by improving defense, they would hire people titled "engineers"
actually, as of now, these robots are just programs in a physics computer experiment... so if they were to evolve to be smart, we'd have a computer virus instead of an actual robot that is evolving.
I wonder, if a robot program like this were let loose on the internet, and was capable of learning... what would it learn?
the "extra information" they're offering is of absolutely NO value. we can get tour dates, album artwork, interviews and other goodies anywhere else free of charge.
this changes nothing. You're actually going to end up getting a normal music file that takes up a bit more space on your hard drive.
Could it then be possible to alter our brain pathways to increase our memory, cognition and senses?
I'd like better eyesight.
Although likely, companies will patent this technology.
Microsoft DNA Kit. just plug this wifi adapter into your computer and specify the alterations you want. Although, if people could hack the system, untold tragedy/hilarity would ensue.
My neighbour could hack my body into constantly thinking about shock images and replacing every fifth noun with the word "porn"
unfortunately, generations X and Y, who distrust the government, are too lazy to do anything about it.
"Until the become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."
yeah, if the content was illegal (such as child pornography or terrorists) the government could just take down the website by tipping off another government and doing a police raid.
this is about control of things that were, until now, legal.
such as file sharing websites and hacking tools
The EU decided to censor things on the internet. I was concerned, but didn't speak up because I wasn't from Europe
The Britons decided to censor things on the internet. I was worried, but didn't speak up because I wasn't from Briton.
The Australians decided to do it too. I was scared, but I didn't speak up because I wasn't Australian.
When they did it here, there was nobody left to stand alongside me
why is it that today's children's rights issues seem to be more focused on limiting what a child can and cannot do rather than giving them responsibility to make their own choices?
please read the article before replying to comments.
this law constitutes anything considered inappropriate of any nature.
If you chose me as a mentor for your child, and we end up talking about that new rambo movie, which is of course, violent, you could consider that an inappropriate topic of discussion. you could then bring the law down around my ears and police would be allowed to get a warrant for searching my house.
sex no longer has anything to do with this
as though going to court over something as stupid as this ok and doesn't take a lot of time from your life.
sure, you can defend yourself and prove innocence. but you have to do that in court. and nobody wants to go to court over a child abuse case of any sort weather they are innocent or not
unfortunately, you revealed a fairly big hole in your argument from the get go.
Most posters, around the age of 18 to 25 will invariably end up having to converse with someone under the age of 18 just by being on the internet.
If for example, I were 17 (legally, I would be a child) and you replied to this message, you'd be subject to this law.
You can't say what you say isn't appropriate, because the law never mentions what is and is not appropriate. For example, if I lived in a culture where you could not wear anything but long clothing covering all but the eyes, and you mentioned wearing a tshirt randomly, you'd be mentioning something inappropriate for my culture.
so hypothetically, we're all screwed.
also, don't bother mentioning that since the situation may not lead to a court case, it still gives the police enough evidence to get a warrant to search my house

"The platform is in about 340 feet of water."
Should make stopping the mess easy.
I wouldn't hold my breath
we only need to do that if they become troublesome and don't stay in stasis
I completely support this. Some days, I'd actually like to have a forced complete internet blackout so I could get off the internet and sleep.
technically, it wasn't even an explosion.
just a rapid expansion of singularity soup.
I usually let it slide
by the way he talked about it in the video ("let me shoot him" and "come on, all you gotta do is pick up a gun") he probably doesn't care too much.

if I had any mod points, I'd make this insightful.
Just pointing out that "Microsoft's BFF, Google" deserves a placement in internet culture

He's a man who represents last generation's corporate strategies.
He still sells products to people, rather than selling people to each other.
Nothing is your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.
And if you know what I'm quoting, even that's questionable.

yes this. Barrens needs to be protected from the 9 year old kids of the world
