Perhaps Artists will appear on stage with boat load of synthesizers and stacks of keyboards, and (hopefully) not a real instrument anywhere in sight. You won't be able to tell if you are hearing a recording or they are playing any of it live, and you probably won't care. Tangerine Dream made a lot of money in appearances with seldom a real instrument appearing on the stage.
lol...im guessing that you don't know anything about the electronic music scene...artists in this genre have been performing with laptops, synths and turntables/cds (called decks) for, oh, about 25 years now.
in case you haven't heard, electronic music is quite huge these days, and in progressive, entertainment-based cities like las vegas and ibiza, DJs are making $250,000 A NIGHT and are being credited with saving the city
its a shame, but i think your wrong about this when it comes to FB...
remember, a huge part of the userbase is older professionals who, frankly, have no interest in changing their SN provider *unless* they do something totally outrageous (like charging a monthly fee) or something so much better is developed (unlikely) and everyone they know jumps ship.
yes i agree young users will soon start fleeing FB (aren't they already?) because, well young people don't want to use mom n dads SN.
...is that the government not only knows how to really detect lies (using "brain state" fMRI scanning), but also DOES NOT want this technology to become widely adopted because they are afriad that the technology will one day be used against *them*...
so, as is so typical with the legal system, this guy is rotting in a jail smelling farts for something that's just total nonsense.
well here's the thing...if we split a qbit and i set it to a state, before the signal from my computer tells it to set it will already be set at the lab.
well i guess but it a web page is nothing but a text file (with markup of course) connected with some pipes...there is no doubt that the moment we connected to the WWW through a gateway (this tech was just being developed at the time...Mosaic hadn't been created yet) we would have started to figure out how to start crawling the webpages it was such an obvious need...
...but a software company I started, right out of collage, developed an online search engine (for BBSs) called MagiSearch in 1989 or so. It could crawl up to 32000 (i think i remember that number was related to how big the stack memory was in relation to our data structure in pre 32bit days) text files and pre-index every tokenized word and phrase into an btrieve "database" (pre-RDBMS and SQL) for lightning fast online searches and retrievals...the tech was pretty primitive but the damn thing worked really well. There is no doubt that no other product was out there at that time as we sold a bunch of these systems.
yeah i get it blah blah blah WTFCs... but the article reminded me about the whole experience and makes me question exactly *who* really created the first online search engine.
what about all the new roads that perhaps will need to be built?..engineers could make cars MUCH easier to work on since there will be about a bazillion more of them so your "relatively unskilled job worker/driver" could actually have a BETTER job where he/she isn't on the road forever etc etc i could go on and on...
the reality is the only reference we have is the past and movements and concerns such as yours have been debunked over and over for the past 300 years...somehow people figure shit out and life goes on.
there is just absolutely no way anyone can predict what kind of spin-offs will be created given the rise of autonomous cars...perhaps entire new industries (cough like IT cough) will be created that require real humans to work on and fix our new 4-wheeled overlords. In fact, it's almost a given.
what IS guaranteed, however, is CHANGE...and man is that frightening for some people. i like to remember the old phrase "the only constant is change" at times like this.
how laughable...MS Office is the ultra cash-cow for them! a WSJ weekend edition article says Office made them over $20BILLION in profit last year.
while i totally agree that they need to innovate in many ways, just discarding the number 1 profit making application and the entrenched user base it commands for "must-change-NOW" sakes would be the stupidest business move ever..
... The entirety of the system needs an overhaul, from laws to prison conditions.
right... with all the different entities (lawyers, police, clerks, judges, guards etc) making big big money on the backs of these "criminals", and add to that the fact that lawyers and judges control the "system", do you really imagine that they are interested in the reforms you are talking about?
the only reforms they are interested in are one's that will be put more money (ie more laws more criminals) into their already well lined pockets.
"Further, we removed a 7TB USB key from our highly- available cluster to consider our Xbox network."
i can just imagine the people at "Hacking9 Magazine" now saying..."hey, yeah of course we knew all along it was a joke...hahahah...what you thought we didn't (looks around nervously)?
you know...the locks that (supposedly) protect you and your loved ones and valuables can be easily picked by people with just a tad bit of training and practice...
terrorists will strike again and kill lots of people but the odds are beyond tiny it will be you or anyone you know...
the internet is loaded with potential threats and *maybe* someone will actually build a real site that does everything the article says it can...
i guess im just sick of kneejerk "omfg something is possible so lets all freak out and throw away our freedoms and turn off our browsers and blah blah blah". we live in a world where yes, you just might die in your bed when a giant sinkhole opens up underneath you, and you know what?? that's ok...whats better that we build a giant police state that gives the illusion of security?
I disagree. The guy was 34-35. Presumably he didn't get hit by a truck or shot in the head, as you don't need an ME to figure out the basic cause. Do people that age just drop dead? Sure, sometimes, especially if they have known serious drug problems.
FTFY...not saying this guy did, but probably most high profile deaths with people his age are due to drug ODs
really?? you actually believe that mankind hasn't been killing each other for scarce resources and sexual conquest since the dawn of time?
it sure is something i would *like* to believe, like santa claus or the easter bunny, but irregardless of the current trend in anthropology to claim homo sapiens were a gentle, non-warlike species back before civilization i just haven't seen much definitive proof of it. FTA
It shows us that societies that are closer to bare subsistence were unlikely to war over resources
well, right...because why kill and steal from a group that actually has much less then you do?
this totally makes sense in an evolutionary way...its easy to imagine how important an adaptation like this would be in a species that for 10's of thousands of years lived in a permanent state of war where you had to be bathed in blood and kill everything on week and then chill at court and amuse the kings and females.

It's why the government invented windows that open.
im 100% sure that if governments invented windows not only would they not open, they would be made out plywood not glass.
well here's the thing...if we split a qbit and i set it to a state, before the signal from my computer tells it to set it will already be set at the lab.
yikes talk about debugging issues.

very insightful +1
you have to be kidding?

so *that's* the point...finally!
and for all this time i've thought its for lolcats and pr0n...
holy shit is that funny!

oh yeah...the u.s. IS doing that...never mind.

its for the CHILDREN FOR GODS sakes!!!
well its seems torture *and* kill is still on the table then...
heck might as well get alex baldwin too...
It doesn't sound suspicious at all

how else could people reconcile this?
