This is great news. But this looks too staged for my eyes. All you actually see is an electric car going in straight lines. Great step toward the real thing though! Congrats to google!

It doesn't have a steering wheel, what did you expect?
That is really good information to know. You guys informed me. I'm working on a video game now and will be finished in a few weeks that I've been working on for 5 years. I've been making video games for the majority of the last 22 years, and it is no where near as fun as actually playing them. If my next video game also turns out to be unprofitable, I might hang up my hat on making video games in the short run. Playing video games makes you feel like you're experiencing life. Making video games makes it feel like you're delaying life until the game is out.
Back in the day before China came on the scene, I used to make about 8-100$/hr selling virtual goods in Asheron's Call. And back in Warcraft3, I used to write pro level articles for Warcraftstrategy for 35$/article. So I'm finding in my experience that I make more money playing video games than I do actually making them... It doesn't make sense. Anyway, it will be nice to see how well www.throneandcrown.com does. It'll come out on Kongregate.com first.
Thanks, so I should look into a USB capture device that handles NES. Got it. Would anyone be able to tell if I used a NES emulator with ROMs for games I have?
I assume we can't just Open Broadcast Software stream NES emulator roms, right?
Is there some specific hardware/software used to interface with television to computer?
I'd like to know because I could see myself streaming some old school games. I'm quite good and still have rapid reflexes. I could probably whip up some color commentary too. I might not stream Nintendo games and go for a console with more pure profit available. I was just wondering the specifics of how you do this.
When I was about 12, I would have been a fine driver, but not all kids 12 years old have the capacity to do it, so they picked 16.
At first, cars will require manual override. Maybe 20-30 years into it when the manual override is no longer needed we can talk about younger kids using them, but at first, due to manual override, kids should have their drivers license.
Oh you have PVP problems? I feel sorry for you. Not everyone can be 31337. Maybe if you dedicate more hours. Maybe if you stopped drinking and getting stoned you'd have better reflexes.
I messaged mine. Back with SOPA, I stated it was a free speech issue. Hollywood shouldn't have the right to censor people. My senator sent out a form letter to everyone,"SOPA is not a free speech issue" after I messaged him. But later he recanted and messaged everyone that SOPA was a free speech issue.
AI that knows its environment through sensors/cameras can then do goals based on the placement of itself and objects in the environment.
It will start out goal oriented, but inevitably someone will make Bender by giving it weighted coefficients of achieving sub goals of drinking beer and petty theft.
Electric in the short run is more economic than hydrogen because the technology is here and developed. One of Hydrogen's problems is the embrittlement of classic construction materials. So exotic materials need to be researched and made. The production of these materials at first will be expensive, but as time goes by, the materials will get cheap. An example of a piece the hydrogen car needs is the gas tank. The gas tank needs to be able to hold pressurized hydrogen in an exotic material, but other than that, it is just a gas tank. Compare this with a battery array. In the long run a gas tank is going to become cheaper than a battery array, but in the short run, electric cars are there already.
Hydrogen is refillable. Hydrogen stations only needs electric and water. People will have them at their own houses. People who want to make a hydrogen refilling station will have a low barrier to entry. There might even be people who get solar arrays to help produce more hydrogen for their gas stations. So hydrogen is poised to be the more economical car in the long run (like 10-20 years if research keeps going).
Electric will always have the advantage of regenerative braking though. So it is possible the future hybrid cars might be Hydrogen + Electric anyway. Unless maybe its possible to make your own hydrogen on the fly with the electricity made from regenerative braking.
Oh most definitely, we should all be working as hard as we can at a moral job, living a frugal life, and donating to the poor. World Hunger is a problem that is going away, the more we can donate to nonprofits, the quicker world hunger goes away. Sanitation and farming give long term solutions. Only 33 cents a day saves a life, so anything we can do to help, we should.
If someone seriously built a hyper-democracy ap, when revolutions happen, they could just install the proper hardware/software and the people could vote on things at centralized locations. It would likely be better than a straight dictator. If there are problems with majority tyranny, you could do tweaks to certain variables. No one needs to install it right off the bat. You just need to make it, and then let it run for 10-30 years successfully before someone trying it to use in a country.
You'd start it as a "voter education ap" in the USA. You'd track politicians, their campaign promises, and if they lived up to them. You'd have to open source people to read through bills to know what they mean, then you say which politician voted on them. Then you'd have issues that politicians side with. I think if people just had the information of "What did the incumbent vote for in his office, what did this guy actually do?" People would be educated about their politicians for a better vote than just being lied to on television ads.
Look at how the Internet desperately tries to rally around stopping SOPA and now Comcast's attack on net neutrality. If there was a website that was the voice of people on the Internet who also lived in the USA(hard part validating people), you could have it write the senators on the most upvoted issues with the most upvoted comments.
One thing you'd need is "factional voting" where different factions like dems and reps read the same article and comments, but one faction only sees upvotes/downvotes from its self by default. So even if there are opposing views, one dominant force can't drive it down. It'd be a lot like reddit.com or digg.com otherwise.
What if a university did mandatory recording of every lecture and posted them online? Besides forcing their professors to always be politically correct and watching what they say, what other bad things would this do? I think it could educate people who aren't even those classes. You could even post them for people to listen who don't even go to your college. But would this shoot colleges in the foot? Would people continue to pay for secondary education if everything was available for free online?
Heh, I see what they're saying now. This new phishing attack fools the person who "verifies" it is a Facebook.com URL. I guess it is somewhat worse. Your average Facebook user doesn't even know to check that so regular phishing attempts should work too. I guess someone of Slashdot style tech knowledge might have always checked to make sure the URL was Facebook. So I guess the warning is good for some of us. Personally I don't log in to Facebook from rogue sites.
Oh snap, I just realized where this would get people real hard. Paypal. You click a link to buy with Paypal, but they send you to a PaypalURL to login, but keep your data... Yah, that one could bite. I guess it really is a good heads up. I'll no longer use anyone's paypal links unless I highly trust the site. Thankfully I at least have the 2nd factor security authentication, but not everyone has that.
Its much easier to not even try at all. Remember Windows was written before the Internet was easily accessible by the public. Why do an expensive rewrite of an OS, when you can just sell your customers computers a sneeze away from getting a virus. Hey maybe even some of them are dumb enough to buy new computers and windows products when their last one gets slow.
All boots are security boots unless the user is changing start up programers or changing viruses. In System boot, the user knows that is his only place he can get a virus.
It isn't incredibly hard to make an OS that:
During a special system boot: You can only install drivers and bootable items.
During a security boot: You can only install software to its own directory, and it can't interact with other software or system files.
There, you can't get a virus. Its up to the OS designer to decide how to share things securely. There are lots of options which can be secure to do that, and isn't worth talking about securing the very system.
It is beyond me why we have modern OSes which aren't 100% virus secure during a security boot... Especially when we're talking about Aps, something people assume should be running in a sandbox mode.
I've been working on the same code base for 5 years now... No problems at all. I don't even have a bug that's causing me any problems. Its about 200-400k lines of code too:)

Just a clarification, I'm not in nor was in the military, the pronoun I is designated as a random person exclaiming it.
Captain, this is a complete rip off, I thought they put Xbox Kinects in these. I was totally going to play COD too, and not Kinectimals.
In all seriousness, Happy Memorial Day.

They bought EA games. Aren't there enough reasons not to buy EA already?

The key component is: Education.
With the Internet, and a proper software suite, you can learn anything known to man.
The software suite isn't there yet, but that's okay, neither are the computers and connectivity.
The world is working towards them meeting though.
Some say it will happen through smart phones over computers though.

The instant I saw a Facebook login on a non Facebook website, I assumed it was a phisher.
This phishing attack has been around as long as this flawed protocol has been around.
Move along, nothing to see here, everyone knew this.

World Hunger is trending towards going away, and a catalyst for eliminating it is for individuals to work hard and donate to the poor.
What are some strategies you have for elimination of World Hunger?
