We've already had this argument a million times in here. The point is do you prefer a slightly better phone or and the fastest car in the world? Or a rocket?
I'm no fan of Elon either, but I think most people would think cars and rockets are cooler than phones and laptops
we are offered a choice between *this* EU... or no EU, which means war.
Crap. No EU will mean it just goes back to how it was in 2001. IIRC there was no war in the 90's (well apart form the Serbia/Croatia thing , but that's different).
I know you're only trying to be funny but Elon builds fast cars and rockets, while Steve built a telephone that was slightly better than the existing telephones of the day (until the competition caught up and made even better telephones).
I'll leave it the reader to decide which is cooler.
Muslims make up about 1% of the US population, which base don these numbers means a $12B contribution to the economy. How does Donald Trump's policy affect this?
Accidents/fatal accidents per mile of an extremely limited sample (ie less than 0.00001%) of driveable areas.
FTFY.
If you want an apples to apples comparison, then get back to me when the robots are exposed to exactly all the same environments and conditions as the humans.
They aren't taxis, they are merely elevators that move horizontally instead of vertically. Are you claiming that all elevator owners should also have a taxi license?
No, it was wrong intelligence. Or else, why did UK, run by a Left wing government run by Tony Blair, back that?
Are you seriously asking that question?
Tony Blair has already answered that himself. He had a man crush on the American Cowboy and blindly bought into his bullshit.
The intelligence was always flakey, but weak minds were easily led.
So someone somewhere did a powerpoint preso at a staff function with some info pulled off the Internet, and this makes the Slashdot front page?
Is this what Slashdot has become? How long before we get a daily update about the Kardashians?
The pardon process is not a bureaucracy, it's one man's opinion. If Obama wants to do it he can. No red tape, no paperwork, no committee, and vote. He just says it and it's done.
And since he is leaving office there is no loss to him. I don't think for a moment he will do it, but he could quite easily.
Oh but wait, the common windows phone fan argument is that
Wait what, someone somewhere is actually a fan of WP?
I have a friend who is an MS partner. He's pro MS everything because he has to be, yet even he traded his phone for Android.
Sorry, but I honestly can't think of any sensible way how meat would occur as naturally cooked, at least not in quantities that would provide sustenance to a relevant amount of people for a long enough time that an evolutionary process could occur.
Ever seen the aftermath of a bush fire? It doesn't have to happen frequently, only enough that someone makes the connection between fire, meat and taste/health, once that switch is flicked, the rest takes care of itself.
One of the reasons why a "Paleo-Diet" works...
Is the same reason all diets work if you stick with them, they're pretty much all based on calorie reduction. Nothing special about Paleo other than gimmick value.
Which is exactly the opposite problem that people had when cooking was invented
Cooking food didn't make people fat, easy access to high energy foods did. This only became a problem for in the last 40 years or so.
Yes, how dare the common people and their elected representatives who do pay their tax, expect the extremely rich to not avoid paying theirs. The cheek!
I don't automatically get a job just because I'm a white male.
Don't you? As a white male I give free stuff to any other white man I see, and I spit on any black people or women. All other white men are awesome and everyone else sucks. No two white men have ever disliked each other, because being a white male surrounded by other white men is as good as life can get. Isn't this how we all think?
A doctor is traveling the battery on is phone is getting low while waiting for the connecting flight he wants to charge up his phone. But no... Some idiot decided to fry the USB charging station because it makes him feel like a big man. So the phone dies.
What imaginary universe are you living in that someone's life is dependent on only one doctor who happens to be at an airport with a low battery, and no wall charger, only a USB cable hoping the few USB are not in use or broken, and who can save a life with just a phone conversation that no other doctor could give? Seriously, you think this is how medicine works?
There's nothing like inventing unrealistic use cases so you can get angry about it...
so that Doctor can have his phone charged so he doesn't miss that life saving call.
Did you actually write that with a straight face? Any doctor that is relying on publicly available USB ports to save lives should probably look for another job.
When I was younger and more foolish we used to go a club we didn't like, find a power point and jam a piece of thick wire in it. When you hit the switch it blows the fuses and drops power to everything on the same circuit, ie hopefully the DJ. It was good for shits and giggles, but I sure hope there weren't any doctors in those clubs charging their phones while on the emergency on-call shift.
Yeah it was immature, but that's what being young is all about.

Well played sir :)
Yeah but it's not a rocket that actually flies to space though is it? Come on, a slightly better phone or a rocket, which one would you prefer?

If I got an email with such shit, I would reply...
The only correct response to spam is ignore and delete. Any other response only gives more power to the spammer.

The AIs that exist now are already better than average human drivers.
By what measurement?
It won't be long until...
Yeah but how long? A week? A year? 10 years?
Gee you must be real fun at parties...

Isn't this how we all think?
They also excluded people who weren't dorks, but that's another discussion...
If police can do it, so can "the bad guys".
Aren't they the same thing?
Trump's finances are visibly good.
Which is why we need to see how he got to this position. It would be extremely naive to assume wealth is an indicator of honesty.
I'm more worried about heart failure or road trauma, but Plague and Muslims Jihadis sell more clicks...
