...and what we have right now still have an 'Off' switch, or can have their plug yanked out of the wall at the very least, they don't have a 'will to survive' (or any 'will' whatsoever for that matter), therefore my evaluation of these machines is they pose no threat to the dominance of the human species on this planet.
I agree, what we have right now does not pose a threat to the human species. Of the machines to come, though...
Call it "words to the wise". Account for it. Do not be paralyzed by it.
Pshaw. I had to change the channel for my parents, adjust the antennae, then stand there holding one of the ears while I waved my other arm around to fine-tune it.
The appendix was where the body was supposed to store supplementary DNA. It forms a part of the corpus but is not essential for its completeness, containing supporting information only.
We just snip it out and throw it away. And people wonder why we don't have telepathy yet.
I haven't worked w/ RH for a long time, so wasn't away of this. So I goog'd "RHEL 6.0 with that hideous networkmanager" and man, what a load of hits! A networkingmanager that can't network. I saw one comment "The host command resolves names put ping does not".
Nah, pkzip ftw. Runs anywhere. Back when HP produced a 16cpu swamp cooler, I couldn't find any useful things to benchmark it with. I'd compile a program and the prompt returned immediately. I had to look to verify that it worked. I used pkzip to compress a 1 meg file in five seconds!!1! Screaming fast compared to the other toys in the comp room.

When did we last add any element to the periodic table?
2016. Four new elements.
With an Apple?
Are you new to FF or something? It's done that before there were bitmines.
The point is that the new one could have been built to last long too, while being efficient.
I've seen some well-built appliances for $3-5000 a pop. Bet they last a long-time. Too bad I can't afford them.
left the solar system.
That and a manhole cover.
and a teapot.
That's what I was thinking.
In Soviet Earth, trash take humanity out.
How do we know Hawking has not already been replaced by an Artificial Intelligence ;)
Fair enough. I once had somebody break into my apartment and replace everything with an exact duplicate.
Ever experience the AI in the Civilization game series? Yep.
I have a machine that can fix that for him.
Actually, he should read I, Robot. None of those robots were capable of breaking the Rules.
But the ways that they found "to get around" the rules would make a lawyer blush.

Meh, that's what old men do. They use that wisdom thing and try to prognosticate and warn about pitfalls.
Capitalism, baby!
Thanks, I forgot about that.

Once modems got up to 4800 baud, their handshakes sounded like alien ringtones. Loved them. Gotta write a song using them someday.
Oh yeah, and line printers. Great rythyms. Pre-hip-hop.

Oh *that's* what I was doing wrong. I used to tape a Penny loafer to my needle.
I don't know about a pickup, but I hear there's an old Escort Wagon that could be gotten for a good price. It probably has a manual.

There must be a Peter Principle for software.
Still using your evaluation version of winzip?

I've got a bad feeling about this...
Why don't we ever see leaks from other countries?
Because they kill their leakers?
