People who want to use this want plug and play, drag and drop. They want to spend $300 for switch module, and a led module, upload the hello world, and press the switch to turn on the led.
you want to play around, blow up a few resistors, learn from that and and make a very kewl.. something, but you completely understand how it works what you made.
I don't want humans to go extinct, but given the current rate of consumption of food and energy I expect we can't go on like that. No idea what will happen, but probably it isn't going to be pretty.
My apartment has very big windows on the south and is well insulated. It saves me a lot of energy:)
Too much is arguable. You perhaps. A lot of us tend to try and reduce our impact on the planet.
A LOT of people care about pollution.
The disconnect is that some people are claiming CO2 is pollution because of a long term effect they claim will occur, which they cannot come close to proving. Otherwise CO2 is not a pollutant at all.
Fight real pollution, not bullshit.
I mean we as species. Like you said, many people try, even I do, but even then the amount of plastic I have to throw away every week is quite a lot. The point is we're not sure what the effects of CO2 will be, but you can be sure there will be effects. Even drinking a lot of water can kill you.
The point is that we're using way too much energy and food and pollute our own habitat and nobody cares. Oh well. Evolution will find a way after we're gone:)
just to be sure: I was referring to the subprime mortgages, wallstreet and we're-too-good-to-pay-sales-taxes-like-everybody-else-amazon and everything related to that.

No, the government and its contractors suffer from incompetence, a lack of encryption, authentication, and data handling procedures. They suffer from violations of their own process. "Here, take this database, decrypt it and email it to our vendor." They suffer from upper management promoted on rank and time served, not competence.
The intrusions aren't what they suffer... they are a direct consequence of the incompetence our government shows daily.
A kind of competence many governments show these days:(
How's that debt ceiling coming? I'd like to have mine raised. The mortgage is due tomorrow.

You want MORE debt? Sounds like a subprime mortgage for governments:s
If the government doesn't trust people, want to know everything about them, and actually sees people in general as a risk, then why don't they just kill everybody tha.. oh wait. never mind saying that.
So the solution is to go mainstream too and give a few interviews denying everything in the hope those interviews will get the upper hand over the gossip? It might. Future will tell.
SUDDENLY a voice comes out of your pocket. It's your credit card shouting at you! HEY YOU!! People who bought that e-book also bought that other e-book. What do you think you're doing here? Go back to that site and buy that other e-book as well!!!
I bet they're uploading the same software to all the robots. Therefore they already share something: the way they learn. Although this is interesting, a test should be done with software that was developed by different independent teams.

Yeah. And if later on anybody would find out it actually WAS the software instead of the human driver...

Personally I think Monopoly is the root cause of all the financial problems we're having for the past years.
Something felt totally different today :)

Waak waak. Lack of API's.
They want it all and they want it now and they want it for free..

anybody going to that site will get a mandatory free "upgrade" for his system, offered by LulzSec.

Say, somebody DUI comes towards you... Can you shoot such person in self defence?

Technically they're the same. That's true.
In practice the first should only store if the user has seen the the warning message.
Or it might just contain "seen message = true".
But there is a significant difference between a don't-show-message cookie and a we-know-everything-about-you cookie.

"The future could see credit cards contain as much processing power as your current smartphone."
So I'll have to wait 5 minutes before my credit card finally has booted?
Since when is Slashdot UK based?
then tell me: WHO ARE THESE FOOTBALLERS????

Exactly. You need to be able to load balance the spam and requests to the hosted malware, so normal business will not be interrupted.
The idea behind starting a company is to have shit loads of money coming towards you...
