  3. Re:Not military on Predator Drone Helps Nab Cattle Rustlers · · Score: 1

    Frankly,

    not happy either way, but WAAAY better IMO to make it manned. It does not scale well that way so the temptation to use aerial surveillance for every little thing
    goes away.

  4. CIO speak on Americas New CIO Wants To Disrupt Government and Make It a Startup · · Score: 1

    He needs to synergize the efficiencies of the current group dynamic to maximize ROI within a mobile framework
    of outsourced in-scope cloud computing over the coming disruptive quarterly strategic marketing blitz.

  5. Skynet is the end result..... on The Real Job Threat · · Score: 1

    The almost inevitable result is fewer people with jobs, and an ever increasing percentage of unemployed.

    At some point there is going to be a major societal shift IMO:

    Either the people with nothing change the nature of our capitalist society, or the people with essentially everything take the LAST logical step and build Terminators to "fix" the welfare problem. This could be hyperbole, but from a logical perspective if you are replacing everyone with robots why wouldn't you replace the police/military
    so you don't have to worry about strikes etc?

  6. Change the national Anthem on Massachusetts Plans To Keep Track of Where Your Car Has Been · · Score: 2

    VRF for an IPv4 Internet Part Two anyone??????

  15. Re:1st A... on Anniston, Alabama To Censor Employees' Facebook Pages · · Score: 2

    no you misunderstood. I mean anything the CITY does is public record and hence should be subject to scrutiny and criticism, especially by its employees.
    If the workplace sucks, then the citizens have a right to know that their city treats it's people like crap. If the city is doing something questionable by all means the employees should be able to post negative comments about it.

    We have an expectation that government is public and as such it should be held to a higher public standard.

  16. Re:1st A... on Anniston, Alabama To Censor Employees' Facebook Pages · · Score: 1

    Or, the city could take the approach that anything they do is a matter of public record.....

    Even Better, we can now rename the "Military Industrial Complex" as the "Carbon Sequestering De-Industrial Complex" or the "Green Clean Machine".

  21. Re:Hmm on Who Will Fix the Internet? No One, Apparently · · Score: 1

    I would not be surprised to see a kludge put in for IPv4. Something along the lines of using unused bits within the ip header to create multiple ipv4 spaces....

  22. This will end up making more wars on Wired for War · · Score: 1

    War is about a political issue solved through the use of force. A limitation on wars is the perceived politcial costs among your own population. (I.E. dead soldiers mean problems at home with political support)

    If you remove the human costs you also remove the politcial costs. So in essence a roboticized military will probably encourage wars....
