  1. Re:Would you do it? on Dmitry Itskov Wants To Help You Live Forever Via an Android Avatar · · Score: 1

    One can think of experience as feedback. Sensors are improving everyday. I can see the improvement will increase once the lack of feedback becomes noticeable.

    As much as I applaud Comrad Itskov's endevor, two things are not ignorable. 1, is the storage of ones personal history. And 2, downloading ones persnal history.

    Downloading the browsing history of a person is not the same as downloading the personal history of a person.

    Please notice that an AC uninspireingly attempted to (communicate?) to my posting; pity.

    Is it called, "AC, Inc?"

    Point of order, IBM uses CentOS, for new developement at its Rochester site, and New York site. Dell, and HP consider window licences as Inventory, not Capitol Assets. I don't know about BCE, but to purchase that many licenses, and not have a corporate license? BCE's CFO should be fired for cause, and the RMP's might want to take a look at how this person made its income.

    I see two problems here. 1, you responded to an AC; you've replied to someone that knows they're wrong. 2, who ever modded you down was most likely the AC. The AC has already demonstrated their lack of insight that they will defend to the point of self destruction.

  9. Re:Bull Shit! on Majority of Americans Say NSA Phone Tracking Is OK To Fight Terrorism · · Score: 1

    Several things come to my mind about NSA's solution:
    * When all past empires that have run out of barbarians to conquer, will, empires create new ones.
    * I am reminded of deaths at the hands of Hitler's government , 6 million were Jews, but 9 million were murdered.
    * I question the intentions of those who loudly profit from a weak persons doubts.
    * Mercenaries cannot be trusted.

    I would first suggest to use the rule of KISS === Keep It Stupid Simple

    Blog your experiences, in Robotics.

    Suggested reading about Robots are "R.U.R.", and "I Robot"

    Then the issue to resolve is the ownership of the object creating the copywritable content? And another issue is emerging, that of "ownership of gGlasses when gGlasses is sold to another party?"

    Another emerging issue is that others are currently selling their personal recording devices, and are not having any of the problems that Google is having. One has to wonder if Google is, "protesting a little to much?"

    Just a thought, given the types of materials used for 3D printing; Landfills will start to become a localized resource for mining of "raw" materials. Also, animal waste may become a more valuable commodity.
