Until you can give me a robot to lay bricks, dig trenches and any other number of back breaking and time consuming tasks needed to build houses, roads and other items to make our lives comfortable we need those with low IQs. In the past they were slaves now we pay them, give them safety equipment, and call them workers.
However when you make that robot don make it too intelligent otherwise it won want to work either
The 1880s were still deely gripped by puritanism, social stratification as being a good thing, institutionalized racism, and a very narrow and rigid view of what was considered "acceptable", and "proper".
you need to talk to your grand parents and great grand parents they were far more pornographic than you give them credit for
please note they have modern distractions like TV (the greatest contraceptive ever invented according to my grandmother) and came up with their own "Entertainment"
And still - just because you praise an organisation for its stand in a conflict, you don't need to subscribe to her ideology.
The ideology behind religions is generally not bad, most teach good behaviour, morals and tolerance as the basis of the religion. For some humans who cannot think for themselves need something to guide them. The problem is those that deliberately misinterpret the teachings to promote their own agenda
Copyrights the MPAA an RIAA merged and then added a number of other organisations that they formed on other planets and covering the new copy mediums. they are called ATAG. and just like today their self interest harms society in general with your picard example showing how billions of lives could have been saved if not for their draconian copyright rules
Thats Android Dallas Data edition a reasonable copy of the iOS1138 from a few years before. Both find the type of owner they like the main difference that iOS1138 will bend you over and take your wallet from behind and spend all the credits, while Dallas Data will simply deep throat your man-bag not realising you don't have any credits to pay for any services
Unfortunately starvation is not a motivator for the people who most influence the global economic system. Profit is the motivator.
The first is correct most of the wealthy I know talk about not wanting to be hungry ever again and worked hard those who got it easily(inherit family win etc) tend to lose it once they have control. So starvation is a good motivator long even if its a distant memory
No surprise its a extremely left wing government democracy privacy and what voters want is last on there list of priorities. Additionally "after the next election" also means her successor will have to deal with it, she will be lucky to keep her seat let alone her current job.
Pick a new word to describe hacking. They don't know what it was called before, they won't notice.
Then 'hackers' can be the bad guys everyone wants them to be, but we aren't 'hackers' anymore, so we don't care.
Everyone is happy.
I always liked "Macguyvered" although that seems to be used for improvised
The main problem with western media is that those who enter "Journalism" tend to have a socialist/left political bias. The result is worse than RT and XInhua as its promoted as a free press. Another problem is the change to "Journalist" rather than "Reporter", It used to be "Report the facts/truth" a credo I personally haven't heard for a long time
Once a company goes public - quality of work loses all value to those who really run it (people who own shares - and their goal is to sell them for a profit THIS quarter). So what happens ? Nobody cares if the business is bankrupt in a year. What matters is maxing out the profits right now - and you do that by firing all the talent (and selling all the useful assets).
Which is why I've always thought the stock market needs one change
Once bought shares cannot be sold for 2 years
this will
1) make people scrutinise their investments more
2) create a longer term view
3) Stop companies being overvalued due to the above
I always liked this definition Spoken by the character Douglas Anders "Grell" in the SG1 episode 200
Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said, "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."
If my child died as a result of a preventable disease that they contracted while too young to be vaccinated and I found out they were infected by an the child of an anti-vax nutjob I think I'd have little choice but to kill the anti-vax parents. I'm quite sure I'd have a hard time staying my hand.
Wholeheartedly agree with the above
People who are that anti-social and selfish don't deserve to live.
I just felt a shudder in the Force as millions of slashdotters were suddenly silenced
Slashdot Mirror
1) Obtain Police looking uniform
2) print out official looking warrants
3) raid house and collect desirables
4) profit
Hmmm no ??? step the gnomes would be proud

Worse.

The problem with making the biggest is that someone just has to make something bigger then your tourist attraction loses its all-important title

Just a thought if you risked losing 2000 years of life with your actions or only 50 years would you do the risky action/activity ?
1) steal a set of plates from another car
2) place on your car
3) enjoy driving, filling with fuel etc
4) discard plates - goto (1)
Lasts upto 24 hours before plates are reported as stolen as they generally have to check with current owner
and soon to be replaced with
1) raprep plate from same/similar make model color vehicle (I've seen a very convincing copy already)
try telling the police you weren't at the crime scene
criminals will always have the upper hand in a Big Brother/Nanny state

Just give up on the term already.

except that these days it could be the ones braking that are actually paying attention and avoiding those that think texting while driving is safe
Almost right ... The Geeks will control what people see hacked in 3....2....
I'd say someone watched torchwood
The only window I have that small in my apartment is in the Bathroom
I'll support the (R)(R)(R)'s because I like pirates and I consider a bunch of (D)'s a monumental failure that send us down a grade or two
