Absolutely. It was labeled "junk" because some egotistical scientist could not figure out what it does. If it befuddles him or her, who is no doubt really Smart, then it must be junk.
We've wasted tons o' dollars on Solyndras, bailing out automakers, paying welfare to illegal immigrants, making the military safe for the few percent of the population that are not heteronormal. We've wated NASAs time on outreach to mohammadeans to make them feel like they've contributed much of anything over the last 800 years. So, if you wonder why our space program sucks--figure it out
That is if you want to get into academia, It's slave labor for a few more years, but it's better paid slave labor. PhD implies research skills. What companies are doing research in the area of your dissertation? You can't be limited by geography.
If the working conditions are a horrible as stated--long drug fueled hours of programming--perhaps, and I hate to say this, they need to form a programmer's union.
oh yeah add Solyndra to that, and all of the other fail alt energy companies. Did you know that the great "public works" projects of the 30s were built by private companies? Did you know that the Great Northern Railway was privately built with no government aid? Private Companies are bad, Bad, BAD, right?
So, does his TV connect to the internet via a cable modem? Perhaps it's time for someone to market a hardware firewall that you can place between your cable modem and your router to monitor and filter all of your inbound and outbound traffic. I suppose that some routers let you do this. I have an Airport Extreme and it does not give you access to any logs (suggestions as hoe to do this would be welcome).
In addition to questioning "Climate Change", one could also look at the "Science" of may other fields as suggested. Especially crucial for examination are the many psychological and sociological studes that are used to "guide" public policy. I venture that many are complete loads of crap designed specifically to influence public policy.
Part of the problem stem from the first commandant/general of the Air Force who required all of the pilots to be college graduates. This is dumb. Israel does not require this, and I bet their pilots can whip our butts. Additionally, why do piolots have to be officers? From what I read most pilots want to fly; they don't want to lead. If they must be officers of some kind, make them warrant officers.
And Prometheus shows this. Another question though what is the point of the sequel (and I don't me monesy)? What are they going to examine? Bladerunner examined on of Dick's major question: What does it mean to be human? Are they going after this again? Just what is the question. Yeah, maybe they should use Harrison Ford and Sean Young together again, why not show the effects of aging.
Utter nonsense.. We should teach our little snowflakes that disciplne and I mean self discipline is a good thing. I realize I'm being a bit atavastic, but teach them to sit down, shut up, and learn.

Ham Sandwich Nation: Due Process When Everything is a Crime
Abstract: Though extensive due process protections apply to the investigation of crimes, and to criminal trials, perhaps the most important part of the criminal process -- the decision whether to charge a defendant, and with what -- is almost entirely discretionary. Given the plethora of criminal laws and regulations in today's society, this due process gap allows prosecutors to charge almost anyone they take a deep interest in. This Essay discusses the problem in the context of recent prosecutorial controversies involving the cases of Aaron Swartz and David Gregory, and offers some suggested remedies, along with a call for further discussion.
Yeah, Absolutely. We already know about the tiny yellow letter that get printed by many inkjet printers, so the printer can be traced. see : https://www.eff.org/issues/printers
Obviously, computers facilitate crime, so we must register them and their users. Think of the income from this that cities like Detriot desperatly need. And while we are at it, no person under 18 should be allowed to have a cellphone wiht a camera. These facilitate "sexting".
And of course there are actually 4 laws, The robots developed the zeroeth law:
"A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm."
which allows robots to kill humans in the name of humanity.
let's charge for it. Since there are sneaky taxes in this bill like the 2.5% medical device tax, I think the US should heavily tax non-US citizens who come over to use our system. We can be kind to our friends in Canada and only charge them 100 or 200 percent because they have such a wonderful healthcare system. Rich Saudi princes or Hugh Chavez can pay say 10,000 percent because they can afford to pay. ANd since the "rich" should pay their fair share someone like George Soros or Bill Gates can also pay that same 10,000 percent tax on medical services.

No, but a paintball gun might be apprpriopriate. Or a supersoaker.
Ah, a member of the Social Justice Stasi
I suggest that they are "anti-fucking" fascists

Certainly not allow computers in Elementary school.
And just why do think the Federal reserve retired anything abouve $100 on July 14, 1969?

Well, of course! We really wouldn't want to be prepared, would we? We have all of these really "smart" people out on the golf course.

No hone is suitable for a 4 year old.

Don't you just love these stories? Ooops, I mean narratives. Ummm, oh, perhaps speculation. I really mean Science FIction.

The tenure system should be elimnated in its entirety. It does not protect profs with views out side the mainstream Left.
