  1. How long until developers become obsolete?! on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    I think we have at least some 20 years to go. Computers make full use of natural language searching vast databases about specific information. That's why computers like IBM's Watson are already confirming diagnostics for various kinds of diseases. Putting something complex together still demands creativity, and that they are not even close to develop..

  2. The other side of the history... on Interview: John McAfee Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't know who is behind this website but it has some good histories about Mr. McAfee. Matter of fact is, While in Belize McAfee began producing MDVP, a psychoactive stimulant that is indeed found in bath salts and it has the effect similar to amphetamines and cocaine. He started as an amateur, cooking in a rented basement and attracted Dr. Adonizio (he mispelled her name) with the promise of fair gainings on a low profile drug production. But soon he was attracting too much attention of local drug lords, and already having a record of being paranoid, McAfee decided that he would become a drug lord himself, hiring the most dreaded thugs he could find around. As the months went by, McAfee became more violent and unpredictable, so Dr. Adonizio became increasingly afraid of ending up being killed or having to serve some time in jail. The last straw was when she broke up with her boyfriend and McAfee implied that he could take care of him for her. According to a interview she gave to the journalist Jeff Wise: “As soon as I started questioning his motives, he turned on me and became a horrible, horrible person, controlling, manipulative and dangerous. I’m thankful that I got out with my life”.
