When we can fully manipulate the minds of human beings, they'll be able to turn all you atheists into jug-band playing, television contribution pandering, Bible thumping fundamentalist Christians.
And the best part is you won't even remember you were atheists. Shit, we could have 100% church attendance in five years.
Ain't science a bitch?
By the way, this story is a load of shit. They didn't "implant" memories. They tried to activate memories previously memorized, and they ended up with only circumstantial evidence it worked.
But that's okay. Give it ten years and there will be no such thing as the human self any more. Some benevolent scientist will flip a few switches and make you into whatever the hell they want.
and probably will run circles around you on any job.
How about assembly language debugging? Or perhaps animating pixel art? Try that with your voice interface, son.
There are some tools that are the right tools for a job. Learning why things work is just as important as how they work. Someday you'll understand that. Until then, enjoy your toys.
People are not abandoning the PC to use phones tablets and "services in the cloud." That is propaganda designed to sell you phones, tablets and services in the cloud.
Phones, tablets and services in the cloud will never replace the PC, because a desktop or laptop computer is the proper control form for the human body.
People want a full keyboard, a full-size monitor and a mouse. They don't want to do real work on a 2" x 3" screen.
This "exodus from the PC" is pure bullshit advanced by mobile device companies to get you back on the hardware upgrade treadmill so they can sell you a new device every two years.
News Item, circa 2017: a man was arrested today at the Suburbs Mall for following hot college girls around taking HD video of their asses and uploading it through a live feed to YouTube.
How is carrying a smartphone around in your pocket all day not wearing a computer?
Because it doesn't hang off your face and make you look like an enormous walking penis. It also doesn't make every girl around you think you aren't uploading her tits to Facebook.
If your biggest problem is having to look down at your phone at the gym, you need a job.

A robot will never create art. They are machines. Art requires a soul.
You people are gleefully participating in the relinquishing of control of your own property.
The licensing process for software engineers could be operated in precisely the same way as the process for attorneys.
No reason to lock people out.

I can't be replaced.
I'm the only shareholder.
Wins the thread.
Lawyers have a union.

How the fuck does anyone spend $40 million writing a fucking file manager?
And of course Google Trends is a totally unbiased source.
Do no evil and all that shit, right?

Let me say it again: it's BULL. SHIT.
researchers from the University of Minnesota found that women who took supplemental multivitamins died at rates higher than those who didn't.
Unless there is something we're missing, I do believe there is a 100% death rate among humans.
Shit, and I'm not even a scientist. At least I didn't start the sentence with "actually."
How people who are so thrilled with the idea of Darwinian survival are so concerned about extinction.
The two are inextricably linked.
I stopped reading at "Actually" because the giant walking penis alarm went off.
I'm not angry. I write every post with a smile on my face.
There was a time when Slashdot wasn't a gaggle of dicks.
Sadly that time has passed.
We must have a risk-free society. We simply cannot survive any other way.
You must always be suspicious of your neighbors. Because they might be up to something. /s
It's a whole generation of people with no fucking job living in the same room.
The reason is because our government is forcing us to compete with manipulated currencies and our "employers" are lying cunts.
Whatever it takes to create an excuse for the government to regulate them. Can't have the peasants making their own shit.
Gotta keep that Guangdong gravy train rollin.
3D printers will be regulated out of existence in two years. Guaranteed.
How about another porn post. Because you know, we didn't get it the first 118,000 times some neckbeard fuck snort-laughed while he posted "boobs."
Translation:
"Hi. I start sentences with the word 'actually' which is a code word for 'I am a walking penis.'"
Thank you.
A giant firehose of shit. Hooray!
Here's one guarantee:

"Google glass makes you look like a giant walking cock." -- me, 2013
There's a difference. See if you can try real hard to figure out what it is.
Those funny things hanging off people's ears make them look like first-class douchebags.
Google Glass makes you look like a walking penis. They are a giant sign that says "I WILL NEVER HAVE SEX"
Anyone would look like a complete shithead talking to a wrist phone.
