This is interesting as I recently exchanged emails with Fienstien (D-CA). It was about the 2'ed but her logic was the same. You don't have "absolute" rights! You have rights that can be and are limited under the laws that those folks in DC have been passing without your knowledge. In my conversation with her I got the solid belief that my rights end where they impose any heartache on the government doing whatever the government wants to do. If a limitation to our rights does not exist it will soon after that right stops the government from doing something. You are "free" only up to a point beyond that you're under arrest.
Except for the obvious disabled folks can more stuff, why is thought control better then just using you thumbs on a joystick? Seems to me it's much harder to put on a scull cap, try to think of just one thing for a long time and so on verses picking up a controller and flying the thing.
Or, do we intend to have an army amputees piloting drones in the future?
ummm, yeah it kinda has changed. Look at the transmission- computer controlled (software). Engine: wow lots of software there, steering speed sensitive has a CPU in there. Hell, the windows nowadays are controlled by MCU on a CAN bus. Even the gauges on the dash MCU controlled. Today's cars dripping in microprocessors and micro-controllers all running. Cars today are SW with wheels.
I think that can be said of most successful businesses (patent trolls are an exception to this of course). Apple and Samsung are acting no different than any other corporation in suing for what will make them money or protect their perceived property. Until patents reform takes place it's just how the game is played.
I'd like to believe, like the OP, that corporations would realize that focusing on their products and not on litigation is what they'd rather do but I've been wrong before.
Allow whaling IF the whalers buy and mount high power lasers capable of melting a hole in a ship to the whales head. They must also train the whales to shoot at any ship that has WHALE SHOOT ME painted on the side. And, you guessed it, they must paint WHALE SHOOT ME as large as possible on both sides of their ships.
Why are you concentrating on trivial things at a time like this?
How can you be complacent when . . . BENGHAZI??????
We must act to save this poor soul.
OK, now I want to distract him from the Fox News channel. OK I'll quickly change the station and... There we go Duck Dynasty. What could be safer?
Where's the fun in that?! Shit, Robots should have a timeout function called runAmok(). The function should execute random low level BIOS call with a weighted probability of calling the pullTriggerFinger(). queezinartMode() might be fun to call ofter too.
I'll get excited about what we're naming it when I CAN GO SEE IT. Where's my flipping star ship you bunch of physics wienies. I don't even have a flying freak'n car yet. Lazy bastards.
The reason I haven't upgraded is windows 8. I took it for a test drive and it failed my litmus test: I couldn't figure it out without looking stuff up. And Win 8 is all the new computers comes with.
I'll stick with my win 7 boxes until MS fixes their latest turd. The Steam Box has gotten my attention. I think I will be getting one of those.
This is a discovery of EPIC magnitude! A entirely new kind of stupid has been discovered. I will simply call it the "Ed particle" from now on.
I wonder if he's gonna tax shoes because people walking and jogging expel more C02. What about a pet tax while he's at it because pets add more C02 then not having one. Don't even think about sex - $25.00 pay up, oh/. never mind...
Why, more then likely some of this..

AND! they even give directions on how to get some. Yes, I know, your welcome! No really, it's my pleasure to help a fellow/.er out.

I wish I had mod points. Mod parent up!
Can you expand on this notion of free. Perhaps with a $20.00?

Yeah, well now we know why /. is so slow: all those spelling mistakes.
Maybe the core team will go kick Ghostcrawler out and fix WoW so it takes more than one hand to play. click.. click.. click.. dead mob
Not sure about that. If it was read as "flown" I'd think we be reading more analogies tiring to relate something to swallow airspeed velocities.

You sir are awesome and are my new role model.
