With states like North Korea and Iran actively pursuing nuclear technology, can the US, Russia and the other nuclear states afford to lose their deterrence? It seems that states like Pakistan that are potentially fragile are also on the list of potential threats.
If only there was a country out there that was big enough and strong enough to impose their will onto these smaller countries in the name of 'world stability', using their own massive military and intelligence resources . . . oh wait. That didn't work.
I really think he does believe that the world is like Star Trek, where you can have a meeting with someone that totally hates you, and suddenly love breaks out
If it was small enough and easy to maintain, I'd probably pay to build a micro nuclear power plant in my back yard. It'd have the added advantage of heating the pool from runoff water.
For a moment there I thought you were talking to power plant operators, reminding them to read the error messages being displayed. And thinking "Yeah, if only they had some user driven 'system failure' moderation, they wouldn't be in as much trouble.
I'm wondering how long it will take to use pirating as an excuse to seize equipment for harassment purposes. The police get the records from the ISP, discovers their target has had a lot of torrent activity, and gets a warrant.
I think that has something to do with the media. They seem to be going down the road where they think something like this isn't news, isn't important, and nobody in America would care.
I'm not a physicist, so there's a lot I don't understand. For something to go over 100mph powered only by wind, wouln't the wind itself have to be over 100mph as well?
How do you go faster than the force that is propelling you?
That got me to thinking. If crabs experience pain, it's presumable that the pain response could be used for behavior modification, which ultimately could lead to domestication.
Who's that? Oh, that's Crabby the Crab, our latest pet. We're still house breaking him. That shock collar around his neck, that's for when he tries to escape or when he tries to "make crab juice" on the living room rug. We love Crabby, and we are not looking forward to the day when he gets too old, has to be put down, and eaten. He is, by the way, available for stud services.
You forgot the third option: Maybe the machines will keep us as pets. Which, really, wouldn't be all that bad. They'd feed us, play with us, clean up after us. Once domesticated to the machine's standards, we may end up becoming a lonely machine's best friend, one who sheds tears when we have to be "put down" for having excessive joint pain in our hips.

Why does Japan always have to be the one who gets the nuclear strike? There are tons of other countries out there that haven't had a turn.

Either that or God's wisdom. Everybody knows God hates aliens.

It worked for Jimmy Carter. Sort of.

It was a shame too, since floppy drives were prolific long after Windows 95

If they paid you $1,000, they'd stop you there and seize the money for being "probable drug-related"
Great. I can only imagine what we have in store.
Want to feel great?
Placebos 50% off! No prescription necessary! Safe and discrete super fast shipping!
Well, presumably they wouldn't build the battery with the HIV or influenza virus in it. Unless, of course, Energizer is feeling especially cruel.
Data from Star Trek had an off switch and he turned okay.
When it develops its own hypothesis and after extensive testing and discovers it's wrong, will it feel bad?
We won't have to. The machines will call you with a calm message asking you to stay indoors.
Somehow I knew the first "Intelligent" robots would be gay. I just didn't suspect so soon. CP30 must be right around the corner.
I don't know. It surprised me that the Dalai Lama even used computers. But if he did, they'd probably are Macs. He just seems like that kind of guy
The man is a fool to ignore the warnings of Al Gore. When man-bear-pig comes to get him, I doubt Gore will do much to help.

What, like land speed records for bigwheels?
Robots can not feel physical pain. They do, however, experience emotional pain. And that is the real reason why they're dangerous
That's why I carry around a pneumatic punch wherever I go. When people ask me what's it for, I tell them "to painless kill peopl...er, lobsters"

Only Superman can save us now! Wait, no. He probably wouldn't fight for R rated movies.
Only Batman can save us now!
