I don't know about you, but I'm generally in favour of interested tapirs.
As for Boaty McBoatface, surely we all knew from the start that wouldn't be the name? They never promised (or even suggested) that the name with most votes would actually be used. At least it gave us Trainy McTrainface and Horsey McHorseface. So there's that.
So is each individual instance of an AI a driver? Each version of the software? Each combination of hardware and software?
If a single car is found to be doing something that would have its license revoked, does that car lose its license, or are all Google cars immediately banned from driving? Would a version tweak cause that license to be reinstated, or would Google be out of the self-driving-car business?
The question, of course, is whether this is a permanent fix or a temporary one; as the idiots who like to drive above a safe speed for the road (which doesn't necessarily match with the speed limit and isn't consistent along the length of the road) and overtake inappropriately get more familiar with the road, they may well revert to their old ways, and now the road markings are missing it's likely to increase certain elements of their bad behaviour.
This is a horrible idea. Government needs to fund homeopathy as much as possible.
By my understanding of these things, that should mean the tiniest fraction of a cent's worth of funding to cover the next 50,000 years. With that sort of money behind them, homeopaths should be the richest people in the world!
No, it's not that black and white. Killing terrorists, especially like this where people are deliberately setting up a situation where they draw out people with these views, is a brilliant way to make more terrorists.
Like, I was over in England. You ever been to England, anyone, been to England? No one has handguns in England, not even the cops. True or false? True. Now-in England last year, they had fourteen deaths from handguns. FFFFFourteen. Now-the United States, and I think you know how we feel about handguns-woooo, I'm getting a warm tingly feeling just saying the fucking word, to be honest with you. I swear to you, I am hard. Twenty-three thousand deaths from handguns. Now let's go through those numbers again, because they're a little baffling at first glance. England, where no one has guns, fffffffourteen deaths. United States, and I think you know how we feel about guns-woooo, I'm getting a stiffy-twenty-three thousand deaths from handguns. But there's no connection, and you'd be a fool and a Communist to make one. There's no connection between having a gun and shooting someone with it, and not having a gun and not shooting someone. There have been studies made and there is no connection at all there. Yes. That's absolute proof. You know, fourteen deaths from handguns. Probably American tourists, too.
I applied this back in the early days of Java development, when the giant list of terms and conditions for the SDK download was displayed in a text field.
An editable text field.
This has two main effects that I can see:
1. I, unlike most people, am allowed to use old versions of Java to run nuclear power stations. 2. Sun owes me $1m for each JDK I downloaded back in the day.
Hardly. Risk is a terrible game for friends - with some players being eliminated from the game long before the slow and tedious endgame, it's a bad choice for friendly gaming. There are plenty of far superior boardgames for such an environment - Settlers of Catan, Puerto Rico, Agricola spring to mind as strong choices.
Yes, it does. Because that's part of the Java Language Specification; any compiler that doesn't give a compile-time error in that situation isn't compliant with the JLS and thus isn't really a Java compiler.
14.21. Unreachable Statements
It is a compile-time error if a statement cannot be executed because it is unreachable.

No. They also have proof that he claimed to have used original arcade hardware for those runs. Why would you like about that?
I was thinking COBOL...
This will not end well.
Correction: users *are* fucked. Just not by Apple in this case.

Good. The Freedom Cycling Bridge is far more functional, and your preferred name would just cause gridlock.
Because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.
Yes they do.
The phone in question is not, however, such a device.

It's why I don't use ad blocking software or disable ads on Slashdot.
There's a big benefit on low-end devices with lots of bloatware and very little storage.

If he complains, just add some more water to the bottle and tell him to keep the change.

It's for home defense, commie.

Just a simple organised flag burning should do the trick.
The scientific community has Kevin Warwick to do that for you.

To date I haven't received payment.
RTFM.
I find that highly unlikely. No true Scotsman would be narcissistic.

Open justice means the people can see what the tabloid papers want us to think the people who are supposed to bring justice are doing.
