The Whiskey Rebellion wasn't about who got to make whiskey. Anyone could if they were willing to pay the tax. A better example would be the Opium Wars in which foreign businesses wanted special rights to sell opium in China, against local law, a trade not permitted to native Chinese.
Protecting dealerships is not consumer protection. In MA we had to fight for a Right to Repair law which the dealerships fought tooth and claw.. Protection of dealerships by Franchise Laws is not pro-consumer.
"Computers and Thought" was published in 1963. It's a compendium of some of the most interesting papers on different topics in AI from earlier research. Now get off my lawn.
Actually, it's life of author + 70 years, so there is NO limit. I'm just waiting for publishers to start requiring tissue samples from authors so that they can keep them alive in a lab.
Really, I don't agree with copyright infringement in all cases, but why should I have to pay for cable AND HBO just to watch Game of Thrones?
Because it costs over $1M dollars per episode to produce it. So if you want something to watch that's better than Sharknado then somebody needs to be paying for it. That said, anything more than 28 years old is out of copyright according to the original Constitution, so I have a hard time understanding why it still has 70 years or so of restrictions.
Social Security was never intended to be a retirement plan. Its just to keep old people from starving to death. If you haven't saved enough to not need SS when you retire then you are in big trouble.
Is it really a robot if it doesn't fulfill a practical purpose? Robot is derived from a word meaning "slave" because it does work in place of a person. If it is unable to do work, by conjoining AI with mobility, does it really fit the bill? What makes a windmill not a robot? What makes a drill not a robot?
Android: sure, robot: I'm not convinced.
The origin of the word robot is from art! It comes from the story R.U.R. by Karel Capek. So complaining that these are not robots because they are art is iron(ic).
"the undercover investigator brought Crawford X-ray tubes to examine for possible use in the weapon, followed by their technical specifications a month later.... Investigators gave Feight $1,000 to build the control device and showed the men pictures of industrial X-ray machines they said they could obtain."
Hmm.. wonder whose idea this whole plot was. We've only heard one side so far.
Well, I hope that he manages to keep good relations with the natives or they will turn the tables on him. He had better have a backup strategy for this transaction.

They do want a free market. Any lobbyist should be able to bid as much as they need to for the laws they want.
Oh.Did you mean the puppets?

There was an attempt to backdoor the kernel a few years back. I don't believe the perpetrators were ever revealed.
There's more than 2?
If you want to stop someone's heart there are much cheaper ways. However, this may be the first one that works over the internet.
You are neglecting the fact that it is patentable because they added the magic words "on the internet".
Did you know you can still get a sunburn on a cloudy day? Why do you think that is?
Did you perhaps miss that it is in Lunar orbit? Try 384,000 km.
Since the 1980's

t has nothing to do with bribes, Koreans don't vote in US elections.
I would mod this "Funny" but my auto-correct substituted "F***ing genius"
Demand keeps it in existence.

I had no idea Blockbuster was still in business.
But some of us would be happy if the now often unreadable magnetic records from 70 years ago would have been stored on something more durable.
Because those TPS reports will make great reading?
Read the complaint. The business was shut down because it had a legal game promotion; it didn't run an internet gambling site.
The Patriot Act clearly refers to stopping terrorism. That doesn't change the fact that it is primarily used to go after drug crimes.

Also we need to set up cameras and secret courts to watch bees.

Makosinski admitted there were points in the experiment when she thought it would never work, but said "You just kind of have to keep going.
Way more important lesson than the circuit design.
Yeah. and I bet her laboratory isn't really in orbit, either.

He outer join the local Chamber of Commerce.
For actual work and play I use windows. Everything works best on it.
Every now and then I boot into the latest linux distro currently in favor and give it a spin. And I've always ended up disappointed.
How do you do something as basic as copy a file securely to another computer? I use scp on Linux.
