  1. Your creation can't succeed because it's a pile of fake, useless crap.

  2. Apple will start making detailed maps of Uranus?

  3. "It was hidden from us just because we didn’t sample it right" - yeah, that's not gonna help your case much, Mr. Scientist. (And before you start downmodding me for being OMG TEH DENIERZ!!!1, I'm not a denier. However, that statement makes me veeeerrrrry suspicious of the findings.)

  4. They'll be harvesting methane fuel from Uranus!

    Right. Thanks for the anecdotal "evidence" with zero basis in reality.

    Ummm, do you live under a rock or are you just really dumb? The things you're referring to were headline news for days!

  6. How 'bout we fix broadband in general on FCC Leaders Say We Need a 'National Mission' To Fix Rural Broadband (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not just rural broadband that's the problem. I live inside a city of 130,000 people and can barely get 5 megabit download speeds on a good day. Broadband, in general, is broken.

    The definition of AI is getting seriously skewed by the media. This has nothing to do with AI. I could've programmed this and I have no AI programming training whatsoever.

  8. can it run Linux?

    I bet you sniff your own flatulence, too. People like you are THE reason why HRC lost the presidential election. Well done, a-hole!

    I didn't say the system was perfect. Personally, I think it's a stupid rule, but saying that these people can't vote is simply wrong and it's propaganda. That's all I've ever said from the beginning. I'm not sure why this is triggering so many people who feel the need to defend this lie!

  11. It's harder for the left because we _don't_ have propaganda.

    LOL!!! Funniest thing I've heard in quite a while! Let's see, just off the top of my head here's a bunch of leftist propaganda: HuffPo, Vox, ThinkProgress, Mother Jones. I'm sure I could come up with a whole lot more if I cared enough to waste any more time on it.

    Again, I don't think I can reach you. You've got the talking points from your right wing think tanks too down pat

    Damn dude, you sure are good with your assumptions. I'm not a right-winger. I'm not a left-winger. I'm a centrist; however, people like you are doing a really good job of making sure I never become a left-winger. Also, the fact that you think I need to be "reached" says a whole lot about your arrogance and the arrogance of your ilk.

    You were ready to go with a rebuttal because they've given you all the answers.

    It's actually really easy to rebut stupidity. But please, keep posting...it's excellent comedy for the rest of us.

    Georgia is purging them from the rolls left and right while moving polling away from campuses. This isn't propaganda, it's fact

    No, it's propaganda. The people who filled out the registration form incorrectly have 26 MONTHS to fix it, and they can vote in this upcoming election. Your "facts" are disingenuous at best and are therefore propaganda. Also, I never said anything about moving polls. I didn't comment on that so why are you bringing it up?

    That means you don't get to plead ignorance.

    I'm not.

    having decided that some people shouldn't be allowed to vote because they disagree with you.

    When the hell did I say any of this? You sure are good at putting words into people's mouths.

    What I hate about folks like you is you.

    Folks like me? You mean, folks who can read between the lines and critically think? Folks who aren't sheep?

    you won't just come out and say "I don't like Democracy"

    Because I DO like democracy.

    You hide behind talking points to fool people.

    What talking points are those? I simply called you out on your totally incorrect statement about the 53,000 people not being allowed to vote.

    Democracy is good, but only when _everyone_ votes.

    False. Democracy is good when INFORMED people vote. Not sheep who just look look for the little "R" or "D" behind the name. Sorry I triggered you by pointing out your B.S. statement. Get out of your echo chamber a little more often and maybe you'll toughen up a bit. And please, for the sake of all of us, get informed before voting.

    Oh please. They ARE allowed to vote. They filled out the registration form wrong and need to correct it within a certain period of time. That is all.

    Given how easily you're fooled by HuffPo-like propaganda, you should probably just stay home instead of voting.

  15. "Brazilian Breitbart. Or maybe it's like the American tea party." - He sounds right wing, I'm surprised YouTube, in all its progressive wisdom, didn't shut that right the hell down! Think of the children and such...

    They dont have to deal with some captain who is armed.

    I was thinking the exact same thing. The really valuable ships would almost certainly need to be accompanied by a small, human-run gunship. Otherwise can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if anyone could just cruise on up to a cargo ship carrying millions of dollars of consumer goods with nobody on board to defend it?

  22. Apparently Luckyo is running a rig with a Pentium 4 in it.

  23. Lorenzo Lamas?

  24. You know I've never actually met anyone like that...

    Consider yourself lucky. They're becoming more numerous by the day.

    Instead of trying to derail the conversation to make yourself look good, why not have an honest debate about the problems of trying to teach AI using purely empirical data?

    Not really sure why you think I was trying to make myself look good or derail the conversation. The point of my post was that the SJW types constantly derail honest debates such as this because god forbid we risk hurting someone's fragile feelings. It's annoying and does no one any favors.
