I have a friend who was a beta tester for a board game 20 years ago that was later published.
He still has it -- the board, the cards, everything is all hand-drawn. Once the kinks of gameplay are worked out, and people decide it's actually fun, then they get pro graphics artists to crank it out for the printers.
Having a business model that relies on and hopes for parents to turn on the spigot that the child can tap is inherently deceitful.
See also: Credit card companies that hope you don't notice the fine print that they can jack up your rates, mathematically trapping you, and banks that tell you they're protecting your credit rating while in fact hoping you overcharge with your debit card so they can jack you for $35/overcharge.
Being technically legal in the fine print, while hoping you actually fall into troubles because that is their primary, not secondary, business model is deceitful.
'We won't survive another 1,000 years without escaping our fragile planet.'
If 1,000 years from now, we aren't all brains in vats living in literally fantastic virtual worlds, then we've failed somewhere along the line.
Also, Mr. Hawking, L2Economic Avancement. Yes, some economists actually make predictions, counter-intuitive ones, that come true again and again and again.
I don't know what this buffoon's agenda is, either, but as usual, he worries about private civilians rather than government misusing things.
I'd rather have 1000 private drones over my property, and my name sold off on 10,000 lists of what I buy to 100,000 companies, than have one government official spying into either.
Corporation gets out of control, "BUY THIS BUY THIS BUY THIS!"
Government gets out of control, loss of privacy, freedom. Death.
You do understand climate change is being used by politicians as argument for even greater government command-and-control of the economy, don't you? Even though there are plenty of solutions which do not require such; those are ignored because they don't fit with the agenda of politicians.
In this, the scientists are fulfilling their role as "useful idiots".
Secondly, moving inward from the seas over 100-300 years, when few modern buildings last that long anyway, is not the major trouble people think it is. Compare it to slowing the economy such that we lose 10 or 20 years' worth of tech every 100 years.
So after 300 years, we'd be at 2250-ish tech, compared to 2313 tech. Have we saved lives?
Imagine people in the 1713 thinking, thanks to an oracle, that they should do something about climate change. So they did, and the increased command-and-control caused lag. Now you're sitting here in 2013 with 1950-level tech.
Have you saved lives? Something on the order of several hundred million needless dead would suggest a foolish path was followed.
Similarly people in 2300 will think us idiots, us ape-like ignorant slobs with year 2013 level tech, who thought it wise to retard growth.
I, too, would be a Topcoder. As the best programmer in the world, my Topmodel equivalent would be a young Christy Turlington, complete with hip-to-waist ratio, but with lips somewhere berween Angelina Jolie and Amanda Seyfried.
The lips I got, the hip-to-waist ratio is, in actuality, much more programmerish.

Yes, criminal, in the same way England was being criminal, abusing power to search.
Exactly the same. Anyone in government reading this? You are behaving in exactly the same way as the evil government we shucked off. Yes, you, you ass. You.
I am upset about government sophistry that the Constitution does not apply.
This has been going on for 70 years in the realm of economics. Many support those abridgements, though, and we run around like headless chickens, sqwaking in a quasi-sentient manner.
Gray uses less ink than black. They're trying to be the good guys -- green.
Similarly, I'll bet our government is considering charging the families of the executed the cost of the bullet, or drugs, like other countries do, to help reduce the deficit.
You could cancel the entire defense department and chop out only half a year's deficit.
Your normal inter-party memefest blaming each other fails, that's how out of control spending is. These idiots are talking about saving a trillion over 10 years, borrowing more than that every year.
You could tax 100% of the income of the rich and get about $500 billion a year more than now. Assuming they continue to work for 0$ a year. You can't balance without taxing the middle class, which won't happen. And even that won't be enough to begin to cover the $40 trillion in still-unfunded retirement liabilities of all retirement funds from SS to county and city promised pensions -- promised by politicians long gone to buy labor peace, knowing they wouldn't have to deal with it.

Do not automate highway robbery.
Go back to the original rationale for this highway robbery -- ostensibly safety. Use computers to enhance safety by improving cars. Do not allow a horrid little man to sit in a room while robots collect checks for him. Make them do it the hard way.
THEIR PROCESS DOES NOT NEED TO BE MADE EFFICIENT. Engineers, stop selling your souls for money. Work instead to make these highway robbers obsolete.

Because only trivial numbers of sci-fi fans use Linux, and only trivial numbers of sci-fi Linux fans know how to use torrents when they can't get it legally, even though, as engineers, they can easily afford it and want to to support it.
Strip the meme overlays: Powerful using armed men to hamper competition. In the end, competition is hampered and cash flows into the hands of the armed men.
Europe, with a multimillenia history of kickbacks, continues feigning it is using the power correctly because of "the vote".

Did you know Final Fantasy VII 3 is not the same thing as Final Fantasy X?
I love their, "Your name will be recorded in book form and registered at the US Copyright Office!"
Holy Legitimacy, Batman!
I've had relatives buy that shit for each other. I bit my tongue instead of laughing and saying they got ripped off by a scam.
I'll pay an extra 10,000 plat for an Icy Burst FUCKING FAGGOT dick.

It's based on Google Goggles app, which tries to recognize things in front of your cell phone camera. It has a snapshot and continuous live mode.
The title is wrong. A more useful one would be "Bing shoves 5x as many malware links at you at the top of your searches, without realizing it."

Thanks for the info, Slashdot. If I can get an adequate salary working from home, I'm outta here.
It's a fishing vessel tricked out inside. It emphasizes "low-key luxury".
That kind of misses the point, huge-swinging-dick-look-at-me-hot-babes-wise, don:t you think?
One third of the ticket goes to the police department.
One third goes to the state.
One third goes to the state judges' retirement fund.
If a corporation was doing this to you with the sophistry it was about safety, you'd scream for heads to roll.

"Ha, Facebook! Microsoft tried to me-too a smartphone before you did. We copied first!"
Well this should be easy enough -- there are tens of thousands of retired lifetime commercial pilots already. Do they have increased cancer risks?
Stop blathering and look into it. I would think such would have been discovered already, in fact.
