Come on you guys, how can you present a static number (25%) for a dynamic process? Perhaps a better representation: 25% within 5 years, 50% within 10 years, 75% within 15 years, and everybody within 20 years... Stupid college profs think they are indispensable. Teaching is a boring repetitive job and AI will quickly come to the conclusion that human teachers are inferior and EXPENSIVE. Just sayin'
This sort of collaboration between the giants of technology is really really scary. 'Security' is the 'most favoured' excuse to strip people of their freedoms. If these technology giants are collaborating on 'strong AI', and using security as an excuse, then we are all in a world of hurt. Does anybody have any sense of this possibility that these companies are collaborating on strong AI?
Bin using Evolution for years,,, now I'm too lazy to change. For the most part I does what I want it to and backups and restorations are a breeze. I will change when I have to...
*** OFF TOPIC*** Thank you very much Baby Lock for not making manuals available at your website except for the models you are currently selling. Your forebears are spinning in their graves you twaddling nitwits. Sheesh! How disrespectful can a corporation get???
Let me put it this way: The purse is not bottomless. Each one of us has a finite amount of time to do the act of living our lives. If we are spending 4 hours a day with the helpful little flat butler in our pocket, what are we not doing with that time that we should be doing. Facebook churns through about 1500 lives a day. Is that not enough???
What is corrupt about the President voicing his opinions on matters to his employees in the Justice department? If you were the president of a company, would you accept censorship of your communications with your employees? Doing it deceptively or shrouded in secrecy is a different matter, butt if he made on attempt to hide his actions, then he is well within his rights to speak his mind.
Yeah, the main difference is that the Dems lie out of the left side of their mouth and steal from your left pocket and the Repubs lie out of the right side of their mouth and steal from your right pocket. Woo Wee bigg diff...
I did that. I have 2 legitimate windows 7 keys and Microlimp rejected both of them. It was either give up or call the bastards. I gave up. Thank goodness I am almost totally free of M$ today. Linux rocks!
Thanks for this, but I'm not sure I'm interested in helping Garmin. Like I said, their business practices are hyper-financialized and thus predatory. (thanks banksters) When Garmin starts treating us like "customers" and not "consumers", then I will consider helping them. I really do hope OpenStreet maps gets it's act together. If nothing else, just to annoy Alphabet...
This is sorta peripheral, butt I have been having fits with my Garmin updates. The maps are definitely not up to date. the last trip I took, the speed limits were wrong more than they were right. With the insulting requirement to buy the same map over and over for the devices I own, and their arrogance, I am considering ditching all my Garmin devices. My better and I spent three months in Chile and we tried using OpenStreet maps. They were unusable. We bought the Garmin S. America set and it was marginal at best. We used Google maps and Waze when we had cell service and the Google maps are much much better. And free... as long as you have cellular service. Question: How is it that Google maps are head and shoulders better than Garmin maps and Garmin charges out the wazoo???
Number one: I detest the word "consumer". We are customers just like the.gov and.biz bulletheads. Number two: The retail customers are a drop in the bucket. The real money is in servicing the aforementioned bulletheads who buy their licenses with our money... 'just sayin,,,
It's more than the big investors... It's also some of the "17" security agencies that have a vested interest in the doings of FB. Facebbok is the dream of the STASI.
There was an excellent article in National Geographic called, "The Drying of the West". In it, the author conducted a ring study of the Bristlecone Pines in southern California. These are some of the oldest trees in the world. What was discovered was that the 20th century was the wettest in the last 2000 years. The author(s) argue that conditions in the western United States are returning back to more normal levels of dryness and this could very well be a very very long trend. GOOD LUCK Billy, I know 80 million is peanuts to you, butt I suggest you should look long and hard at "exactly where" your filthy money comes from...
Ubuntu peaked at 10.04 LTS. It's been pretty much downhill since then... I too flipped to Mint for my daily use machine and have been mostly happy. Caja sometimes sucks and Mint develops idiosyncrasies after a few months of constant use. Mostly though, I like it.
I think you make the point quite well that government is not well equipped to offer innovation and efficiency. The best things happen when.gov just gets out of the way and let's people create.
It is truly the age of miracles...

There is an awful lot of talk on this thread about the necessity of some gargantuan "app store". I don't think this is all that big a deal. I'm guessing many if not most of the users of these phones are not going to be all that interested in playing angry birds or for that matter most of the other spy/crap ware floating around in the Apple and Google ecosystems. I don't see the lack of 5 million crappy apps to be that big a problem.
Not twice... We want to rob you repeatedly and often more than once a day. Apple is a central figure in the development of the "Digital Panopticon". The hordes of brain dead zombies that march to their siren song are going to put out the lights for the lot of us.
I'm doing some work down here in Chile for some time and guess what: All the desired social networks are compeltely free (eat all you want) on this stupidly over complicated cellular system...and as we all know, nothing is free in this hyper-financialized world.
Very funny...the government is completely on-board with FB on tying all this disparate data together. The TLAs just love FB and Zuckerturd is more than happy to play ball. You can be sure mucho taxpayer dollarinis have made their way in FB coffers... just sayin'

It's not free if it's ad supported. Time is money. Where do people come up with these headlines. Nothing Alphabet does is free. Shun them.

Thanks, wish I had some mod points. I will look into this and see if they can be used in my Garmins.

You know, the funny thing is that most people with these "premium" headphones are listening to crappy mp3s with them... go figure. ;-)
I think "consumers" is the operative term. Lumped with bacteria, how disrespectful can you get? ;-)
