Ok, so you find out his email address is chosun@whatever.net.
You either think "neat, his name sounds like a word, that's hilarious!", or you blindly carry on with your life, oblivious to the humour.
In what gray area of troubled thinking do you stop and ask "Why would you use your own name as your email address?" in order to set him up for his "few are chosun" bit?
Unless you mean to say "none of this happened at all, ever, but it's the only way I could think of to set up this joke".
You should be able to go into Services and disable the "Windows Update" service during any period where you absolutely do not want your system restarting for them, then re-enable it if you want the updates while you can afford some downtime.
I don't say this in support of the implementation, but it should work for your purposes.
Making it heavier than water would actually make plastic pollution much less of a problem. Plastic things would sink to the bottom and stay pretty much motionless until they broke up into nothing.
The main problem with plastics now is how much the pieces disperse.
Sure, it's still not 'great', and it wouldn't be very pretty, but it would have less of an impact.
You can't tell people not to automate. At least, not in any way that isn't ridiculously arbitrary and overly complicated to comply with.
As our machines get better, we will need fewer humans.
It really, really sucks for us humans. Learning a new skill is better than accepting your fate and crawling off to die somewhere.
Something's gonna have to change at some point, even if it's just reducing the human population by letting them feast on the tasty goo in each other's skulls when they devolve into anarchy, but the knowledge to make humans more and more superfluous isn't going anywhere any time soon.
I think you mean "more free energy from nuclear energy".
All the nasty types of waste are really just great sources of fuel that nobody can tap into because politics won't let them build a reactor design from this century.
You could literally die this way while reading a book and have no clue it was happening.
If they changed their minds partway through and flooded it with O2, you'd probably think you just drifted off for a minute and keep on reading.
Humans don't sense oxygen, we sense carbon dioxide. If you don't let that build up it never triggers the body's alarms.
You dangle on the rope for a few minutes, or twitch around a while after the bullet travels 'safely' between your brain's hemispheres, and I'll read my book.

Which is a happy coincidence.
You might not be a native English user, so I'll explain.
He asked why you would question somebody using their name as an email address.
My DVD-ROM and CD-ROM will be upset to learn that they've been mislabeled all these years.

You have a wonderful life if Slashdot comments are something to "worry" about.
What's your take on this?

What's the alternative though?

Stopping automation is still trying to solve the problem at the wrong end, though.
If the ship's sinking, do you try to find a lifeboat or do you complain to the captain that the water should probably stay outside?
The fundamental physics say that what you call waste is just more fuel.
There's no reason they couldn't add a hibernate feature to the PS3/X360 in a software update if they felt the urge.
"radioactive waste of nuclear energy,"
I think you mean "more free energy from nuclear energy".

Finding plastic bags in the underwater trenches of an exoplanet would actually be fairly remarkable on a number of fronts.
They could happily eat 0.01 mg of rat poison, and they could down that 900 mg of sodium over an extended period of time without much ill effect.
Or skilled?
I'm sick of all these adjectives being tossed around all willy-nilly.
Nouns and verbs only, please.
It would count as an extremely low dose if you're talking about whatever leeches into the ocean, like the post you're replying to is.
What's wrong with having 100s of planets?
It can be like memorizing pi. Most people learn the first few digits, and a few people can rattle it off for hours.
"The 9 planets closest to the sun are...."
Circumstantial evidence against you is better than conclusive evidence against you.
I'm pretty sure every lawyer will recommend you decline the test if there's the slightest chance of it being used against you.
I'm not saying it's right, but that's the system.
People are really good at convincing themselves they'll never be caught.
All that the death penalty really does is make murdering anybody that finds out more attractive.

Compare stories in Valhalla after?
Do we need to go over the difference between an organism and a conscious human?
Ah, I hadn't caught that.
Thanks for the clarification.
And it's remarkably easy to turn a false positive into a true positive if they happen to be carrying anything illegal when you randomly search them.
The system's so amazing that you can find people you didn't even know you were looking for.
"Arrest" is specific procedure.
You can "detain" somebody and go through all their stuff without officially "arrest"ing them.
And if you find a little bag of sunshine during their detainment and upgrade it to a full arrest, well, that's how justice works these days, isn't it?
To phrase this another way, since it seems your point was missed....
450+ people were arrested due to facial recognition.
2470 alerts were generated, and 2297 were false positives. This means 173 alerts were legitimate.
This means 'at least' 277 arrests were based on false positives.
