The title of this post is a question that I've not been able to answer. To put it specifically, how can we teach machines to have ethics when we seem to avoid using ethics at every opportunity ourselves? Any answers?
I am among the "whites" that did vote for Obama because he was a better choice than the GOPs representative. We're tired of the shit-slinging both parties have been engaging in for a very long time. Obama campaigned on a platform of making America BETTER for everyone and not just a select few cronies.
As for the color of his skin, I could care less. Show me someone who wants a better tomorrow and is willing to let everyone participate and I will vote for them.
I, for one, would be happy to have a robot operate on me if I ever have a fourth open-heart surgery. The three surgeries I've had required that I be attached to a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, have my heart stopped by electric shock, sternum cut and rib cage spread open, and be restarted by another electric shock when they were done.
Trust me, hot-swap is much better than a cold reboot!
Right now, the U.S. government is one of the largest purchasers of Dell hardware. It used to be IBM they purchased from until IBM sold its PC division to Lenovo. Now the government won't buy Lenovo because their afraid that the machines might be compromised to spy on the user. If Dell moves their factories overseas there's a good chance that the government may stop buying.
I've had three open-heart surgeries due to Tetralogy of Fallot. Shortly before my second surgery, I caught chicken pox from a classmate. The chicken pox trashed my immune system and I also had bacterial endocarditis, encephalitis, spinal meningitis, pneumonia, and Reyes Syndrome. Dr. Denton Cooley did the surgery with Dr. DeBakey assisting. They cleaned the endocarditis out of my heart, by hand, put a porcine valve in the aortic opening, and replace the badly infected dacron patch on my VSD.
I've cleaned many keyboards by placing them in the dishwasher and running them through a couple of cycles. Kills anything on them; try it but remember to let it dry out for a couple of days before using it.
What all the **AAs are doing is a simple application of the "Golden Rule": He who has the gold makes the rules. Just remember what happened during the French Revolution.
I thought the plan was to export democracy, free speech, human rights and other such goodies... oh boy, was I wrong! I take it you didn't bother to read the labels on the boxes they were unloading from the C130s, C17s and C5As.
Still need that little extra? Well we also have special modifier canisters availible, that can be added to your order for only a small additional cost. These include botique air qualites such as smoke, and stale beer,... Does the "stale beer" odor come with a spray can of "stale piss" for your bathroom or is that extra?

I wonder if the Chinese tax collectors would accept virtual money. Or maybe Monopoly money?
Don't you mean Fungas?

It's good to hear that Microsoft is looking into "instant on" technology. It would be a good complement to their "instant stop" technology.
Google Reveals Wireless Vision
Wow, did anyone else read the title to mean Google had developed a way to make human eyeballs wireless?
Damn, I need more coffee.
Dude, screw toasters! I'm worried about them giving me a pacemaker with Wi-Fi. Talk about a new meaning for "Ping-Of-Death!"
So, you're telling us that Cheney would have been a good soldier and his "friend", whom he shot in the face, would be a bad soldier?
I'd rather hear the conversations in the tunnel while they're repairing it!
Big, burly men with high, squeaky voices is always good for a laugh!
More importantly, do you have your Guide?

Really? I thought dynamite was invented BEFORE the Roswell crash.
Roe supposedly from flying fish was actually from smelt.
Of course, the roe from flying fish are from smelt; they're the ones that are being dive-bombed!
Seven of nine samples...
Leave it to the Slashdot crowd to put a Star Trek reference in a story about seafood.
I'd high jack a FedEx or a UPS plane.
Only if you wanted to be there overnight.
Sounds like the soil is the consistency of clay. Trying to get clay out of a scoop takes water and a lot of patience.

I'm going to miss him. :(
There won't be a Perl mod; when you use hooks and bobbins, it's sewing.
You only use Perl when knitting.

I can't decide whether this idea sucks or blows...
I didn't know that was a word.
That was the sound I made last time I threw up.
Whodathunkit.
