  1. Just because there is a little degree of exceptions doesn't make the observation invalid. There isn't much status change, after all. Most of it is inertia. Just because people aren't completely inert doesn't mean they aren't mostly inert.

  2. And the first step to destroy the gods is to learn BASIC. The next step is to learn how to create and embed your own commands into a BASIC compiler. But tread carefully! The believers in the gods seek out those who would destroy the gods. A man named Steve McNeill, http://www.qb64.net/forum/inde... started down that path and was brought low, and a recent accounting of his tale was scrubbed from the annals of http://www.qb64.net/forum/inde...

    And you probably prefer your KFC to be chicken and not swallow, which is what Tsubame means.

  4. Re:Because Human Nature on Bill Gates: The Robot That Takes Your Job Should Pay Taxes (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    People want to feel productive and as if they have control of their destiny. They don't actually make much effort to confirm if they actually do. If they did, it would be perfectly fine for robots to take over the jobs, because they would realize they could find ways that actually contributed to productivity and not just was more productive than nobody or thing doing something but less productive than robots being as productive as they can be.

  5. Re:Details that make sense on Bill Gates: The Robot That Takes Your Job Should Pay Taxes (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    The problem is that there are a lot of people who don't own those robots and the people who do aren't all that sensitive to the problems of those people and aren't too unhappy to just sell to other people who also own robots.

    acquaintance... just this person I kind of know, just came home with me one day and never leaves.

    Both what you say and what he says is happening and the is so much noise in the signal that it is hard to tell what is happening when.

    No they stole another group of people's land that they genocided for the most part. No relation to modern-day Palestinians.

  9. Re:Socrates on Elon Musk Is Really Boring (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    As far as I can tell, for most of history nobody made much of an effort to distinguish between real and fictional people.

  10. Religious freedom on Swedish Court Rules: 'Block the Pirate Bay For Next 3 Years' (fossbytes.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm working on attacking the problem from a religious rights angle. I believe that freedom to interact with culture as you see fit free from government restriction is good as a religious belief, so it goes.

  11. Why bad lip reading? Why not your basic garden variety bad speech recognition?

    It's bad enough that the banner ads stay visible for some time mo matter what you do, but some of them never go away forcing you to refresh and hope you get an ad that will eventually go away,

    That's why smart companies do basic research so that they can have something for investors 50 years down the road to invest in.

  14. Re:Socrates on Elon Musk Is Really Boring (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    As far as I can tell, Socrates is likely a fictional character made up by Plato.

  15. For you having an issue with the term AI on Google Releases TensorFlow 1.0 With New Machine Learning Tools (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is that intelligence is ill defined. Based on how the term is used, the best conclusion is that anything that calculates has at least a slight bit of intelligence.

  16. Degree of failure on Valve 'Comfortable' If Virtual Reality Headsets Fail (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    VR will never fail as badly as 3D TVs because it's an easy add-on for smartphones.

  17. It depends on how lenient you are about accepting examples that depend on nonexistent standards. If standards were created that implemented functions that were only good for exactly one task instead of a general purpose language, the web would be much more secure.

  18. Well they might have shown some attitude when a student acted like they were so sure about something and used examples that didn't support their wild assertions like the previous post just did, but you are ignoring what that post did for your narrative. Not only that, you are also completely clueless about the exchange between me and the other person. We weren't arguing about how smart we think everyone else should be. I defended his ire, but he thought I was attacking his stance and the exchange was to clear that up.

  19. Re:That's not archetecture on JavaScript Attack Breaks ASLR On 22 CPU Architectures (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    No, the appropriate response would be to justify the belief that ARM and x86 are architectures and not merely instruction sets that architectures like Kaby Lake and Coppermine implement.

  20. The state of law has become such that it is now merely a tool wielded at the whim of the powerful. God help us all. Someone else said that the coming war will not be Civil for we are no longer civilized.

  23. Re:scripting is incompatible with security on JavaScript Attack Breaks ASLR On 22 CPU Architectures (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    It may draw the ire of those who feel that he was overspecific to indentify javascript. Scripting and maybe more specifically scripting from untrustworthy sources is the problem, and I don't know where, for example, going from HTML to HTML + CSS, to full blown scripting the problem occurs.

    That's sort of inaccurate as well, scripting itself is overspecific for executable code in general.

    Ah, but you underestimate the power of the people who get their jollies from causing problems for others, for whom the autistic people are a valuable resource.
