If we don't end up destroying ourselves in the process...
Therein lies the test. You touched on an important piece of criteria for human evolution. Having knowledge without wisdom is the same as having power without control. It is an accident waiting to happen. I ofter wonder (now I wonder out loud), will we survive? If not, will it be the small (virus, bacteria), the big (asteroid, comet), or will it be ourselves (thermonukes, chem/bio agents) that lead to the end of days?
Perhaps GRACE will be "programmed" with reproductive subroutines so that a part of us will survive the apocalypse.
OTOH if we do survive, and GRACE evolves at the pace of technology, what happens when "Cyberdyne" (or GRACE) becomes "self-aware" and recognizes humanity as an enemy?
I wonder what stipulations all those French and Spanish paragraphs at the end are making? I wonder what I'm agreeing to?

Guys (almost) always refer to objects as "she". All my cars have been "she"s. My computers at home are all "she"s. betty is a bitch and jenny is sweet. Marines have historically given their weapon a girls name. When reading books and articles about infant care, the baby is always refered to as "she". It isn't sexist. It is a compliment.
How is this considered a troll? A Linux management system is exactly what is needed. The stake-holders dont care about open sores software. The bean-counters dont care about the cost of Windows becuase Microsoft sigularly accountable for their product. If you Linux envornment starts going bad who do you call? Red Hat? The intern that wrote that subsystem last year? Too much splinter and not enough cohesion in your sad little world. Now THAT's a troll.
Those mid-story-skull-bug-ear-wing-things would be ultra-creepy if you could see them parabolic style. Ripping thru that scene on IMAX if rez wuz good wood be super-thanks-for-asking. Pass the shotgun baby!
In the past, Microsoft has either presented an "open" standard, or pushed someone else's open standard, only to hijack it in the end, to the detriment of non-Windows users and developers.
Don't you mean "Sun"? They presented Java as an "open" standard only to pull it back before ISO could certify it. Don't blame Microsoft for Sun's flip-flop. If Java had been standardized, there would be little room (and little need) for.NET and its CLR. And I don't want to hear about Microsoft tainting pure Java. Sun and Java are not victims here. They shot themselves in the foot long ago.
Niether is Windows. But there are plenty of us with a lifetime of computing experience that doesn't include a *NIX background. I am therefore a Linux newbie. Yes, I can RTFM, and know the difference between \ and / but sometimes I'm just stuck - out of options/ideas. So I ask for help only to recieve insult.::Curls up under the desk and twitches:: Windows makes it too easy for newbies. n00bs can just thump thru the wizard and throw up a default instance of IIS, Exchange, SQL, just begging to be hacked. The relatively poor quality of Windows Admins is a big reason it got such a bad name. A Linux n00b could produce an equally inferior installation of *NIX/Apache/MySQL
If you talking about "computing-in-general" newbies, then are you advocating they get their feet wet with Windows? That is conter-productive to your cause. You need to embrace all newbies and extend your love to the entire communitiy. Dont banish them to some other platform becuase they didn't know how to re-compile their video driver.
Well then, thank you very much for the support back then. I really enjoyed my time with OS/2 and REXX. I always got great support when I needed it. Too bad Microsoft got the developers attention and won the desktop despite its inferior OS. I was angry when the corporate direction was to abandon LAN Server, OS/2, Comm.Mgr et al. I would jump at the chance to run a "new" OS/2 with ObjREXX or NetREXX as a scripting language. I just can't get myself to take Linux seriously. So much in-fighting and hostillity toward newbies. It doesn't stand a chance as a business desktop or a home user OS. I'll bet its days as a server OS are numbered as well. A modern OS/2 OTOH would be a godsend if it was as easy to use and configure and was as reliable as its ancestor. I'll keep looking.
This is why I have such disdain for the *NIX community. I got flammed real bad for asking a "n00b" question about my old Slackware 7.0. I'll never join your hardcore ranks.
Open Sores can be a good thing, but you're re-inventing the wheel simply because you're (collectively) control freaks. I would never trust my biz to an Open Sores OS with a recompiled kernel by that pimple-faced-intern last year trying to improve secuirty cuz he "heard" it on some IRC channel. Great. Now I've gotta comb thru thousands of lines of code to unphuck my system? No way. Linix is fun to play with, but if I've got a deadline, my productivity is done with the help of the Evil Empire. I'd glady pay for software rather than suffer the verbal assault that comes with your "utopia".
Walking teletubbie to retarded 300 lbs 14 year old: "Hey! Ouch! Stop that. The game cartridge doesn't go there! Ow! Quit it. If you want to play a different game, just ask. Yipe! Ow! Hey! That isn't the reset button, thats my EYE! "
From the atricle...
Free exposure is practically a thing of the past for entertainers. Getting your record played at radio costs more money than most of us dream of ever earning. Free downloading gives a chance to every do-it-yourselfer out there. Every act that can't get signed to a major, for whatever reason, can reach literally millions of new listeners, enticing them to buy the CD and come to the concerts. Where else can a new act, or one that doesn't have a label deal, get that kind of exposure?
The RIAA (et al) needs to limit consumer choice for thier own protection. It can't accomodate (read "control") the number of artists that gain popularity via internet. Not only that, but has anyone noticed the 101 "college bands" out there with a very similar sound. It feels (and sounds) very structured and manufactured. NOT the way rock-n-roll was meant to be. I can't stand the radio anymore. Its the same 15 songs over and over all damn day. Over half of those song have the same 3rd eye barenaked goo goo creed sound. Man...Funk that. That was a very good, very lucid article. The internet has excelled at cutting out the middle man in many cases. May the RIAA be the next to fall - for the greater good of artists and music fans alike. Although with thier lobbying power, the only thing that can beat "big money" is "bigger money".
At least I can't make a windows machine stable enough to run Neverwinter.
Do you wear a helmet? How are those pills working out for you? A higher dose perhaps.... or you could pull your head out of your ass for a second and realize that any OS needs a fair ammount of "tweaking" to run properly. Hardware dependencies, bug fixes, security s/ware, driver updates is all part of the routine. Get a grip Taco. You and your broken Windows is sounding more like a broken record. Yawn.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: AMD was offering more $$$ for feathers.
A husband comes home from work to find burnt chicken sitting on his dinner plate. He asks his wife about it.
Wife: "I thought you said over cook the chicken"
Husband: "No, I said over CLOCK the chicken."
Must be the static.
Some folks insist on displaying their Open Sores Software, even when a perfectly good solution exists.
Remember, this is Slashdot.

You ignorant (but sensible) person.
I't should also provide black-box type data recording to keep track of speed, steering, braking, cockpit communications, dashboard events, and other status, so that distracted drivers can have their accidents replayed in court.
