we won't get ANYTHING out of the US being a leader in developing the largest, most powerful computers in the world.
You become a leader by properly funding and staffing the educational system, not by giving handouts to your multi-billion dollar buddies in the business. Besides most of that money will end being spent on lobbying for more money.
No, that only applies to the universities. This stuff will be locked down, if not by copyright/patents, then by being classified. Anyway China is doing it, so why not us, right? Another fine example of state run capitalism, or is it capitalist run state?
What did you do to earn the services of a podiatrist to look at your stubbed toe?
We pay taxes, and we are entitled to have some of that tax money go to proper health care, disability, social security,etc, along with all the other necessary infrastructure our great prosperous economy can trivially afford. All arguments to the contrary are simply motivated by tribal politics without scientific basis.
Not eBay, Wall Street... That's where the hot bot action is.
And right, the machines aren't composing any ideas yet, but all indications are that they will coldly and cruelly follow nature's path, same as every other life form, including humans, has done so far.

Wikileaks could have informed the manufacturers first, giving them time to create patches before it's leaked to the interwebs.
That's bullshit. The manufacturers are well aware of the flaws being exploited, and it is just as plausible they left them open on 'request'.
These people don't make enough money? Please! It's just another handout.
Pandering to low information liberal/conservative fan clubs is how you win elections. This last one is the best illustration of that we've ever seen.

Well over 50% of the country doesn't hold with either major party.
Well, those people aren't voting for anything else, so their opinions mean squat.
X-rays, can see right through them..
Try to find a free service that doesn't require a cell phone.
As for privacy, just try to find some from anybody that you can verify. Bet you can't...
There is a procedure
A mere formality. They 'complied' without even knowing what was happening.
That would be a neat trick... Can we 'refuse' too?

That's not true!
You can get C-SPAN on the internet.

'Artificial' intelligence isn't so artificial. Nature rules, babe
Uh huh...
I guess we're going to keep on hearing this 'birther' crap for the next four years at least.
Well, you're not supposed to put your beer in there.
By the way, you'll still need a fan on the CPU. The air needs to flow through the heat sink for it to work very well.
Bitcoin cannot keep value, it can move by 20% up or down in a single day.
Heh, so can gold, or any other commodity. Place yer bets...
No, they're doing to make the internet look bad, so people will demand more control and censorship.
Of course that's not true either. They're doing it to make money, plain and simple.
since the acquisition.
Which one?
It's all funny money anyway. Just know when to cash out.
I know, right? Where are you going to find a wrench for five dollars?
That's right, it works this way
