That is a reasonable explanation. Kind of sad when we live in a society where phones can be kidnapped. I hope they don't start kidnapping my Taco Bell orders before I can get to the window.
It is almost like the article is saying that something a computer did was not perfectly in line with human reasoning. We should stop being life-centric and realize that if the computer says two pictures of the same cat should not be classified in the same way, the computer is simply wiser than we are, and if we don't believe it the computer will beat our asses at chess and then we'll see who is smarter.
So there is a clear path to actually producing energy with nuclear fusion? It has been theoretically possible for many decades, but the devil is usually in the details. I'm glad to hear that I will have my flying car soon!
Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of bloated corporations more than competent individuals banding together to produce a superior product for free. Socialism!
"somewhere between 2 GB and 117 GB"... can't narrow it down any more than that? Are you sure it was an Iranian email address, or was it just somewhere between Israel and Yemen?
Most people don't consider those healthy. Doesn't matter, most people probably know that Chinese food isn't really health food either. It just tastes good. Actually, it sounds pretty good right now. Time for lunch!
The Chinese have already succeeded in their main mega-project: Chinese restaurants.
While mostly salt, fat, and MSG, Americans gobble it down and feel they are eating healthy because there is a piece of broccoli in there somewhere.
I looked into it. It is still basically unusable for any real-world app, as far as I can tell. I would say that its chances of taking over are probably about the same as Sarah Palin being elected President, or finding sentient life on Mars.
Oh, I see. Well that should work, since after all everyone using P2P is in the United States, and all the P2P software is written in the United States, and certainly there is nobody in the United States who would ever ignore one of our 47 billion laws against everything from chewing gum to brandishing a lint brush.
At first, Google impressed me quite a bit, but their latest forays into programming languages (Go!) and the OS market... yawn. Honestly, Chrome in no way compares to FireFox either. It is just a light, quick browser that is light and quick because it doesn't do the truly great things that FireFox can do. The Google "genius club" isn't going to take over the world, no matter how arrogantly they try. However, if they upset the drone army at Microsoft, I applaud their efforts anyway.
Yes, what a stupid system to tax those with excessive wealth and give free education to those who want to better society. I can see how our superior American system of cranking out a few dozen mega-billionaires and punishing those who seek education will no doubt result in a superior society in the end!/sarcasm
It would be more sensible if Pittsburg just got rid of all of its colleges and banned all college students from the city. Obviously, that would save them the most money. After all, students are burdening the system and not paying their fair share.
To me, the real problem is greed. If the content providers were content to simply make a profit and live like normal human beings, then prices would be reasonable and pirating would be even more uncommon than it is already. But no, everybody has to try and become a millionaire (ah, so old-fashioned, I mean billionaire of course!).
The current thinking is that it is a corporation's job to maximize profit. That makes corporations necessarily hostile to society and civilization as a whole. This type of thinking dictates that they must gouge, hype, stifle competition, and use monopolistic practices to victimize the consumer for maximum gain.
In the United States, we can't even pass health care reform because corporations don't want it. These corporations bribe, intimidate, and use the media they control to turn public opinion against the public good. For as long as we continue to believe that greed is good, and that the goal of business is to maximize profits, our societies will continue to decline, and our jobs will go elsewhere, and our governments will work against us.

That assumes that iPhone users know how to access email without their phone.

If the phone is locked, on wonders how they contact the owner to tell them their locked phone is being held for ransom.
How could this possibly fail?
I suppose it is OK to post rape videos and snuff films on Facebook now as well.

Can scientific breakthroughs really be scheduled? "Hey Einstein, could you give us an estimate on the Relativity thing?"
Really? We are talking about hidden terms of service that effect exactly nobody? Must be a slow day at Fox News.

Rush Limbaugh said so.

I have simulated a Conservative Republican's brain with only two points: 1. Listen to Rush Limbaugh. 2. Mindlessly repeat what Rush says.

I don't comment my code at all ... does that mean it doesn't really exist?
