Yes and no, everything on facebook is publicly available. Your so called privacy settings mean shit when facebook allows google to index your profile unsecured.
I can't tell you the number time I searched for something only to come up with a facebook page, which i could read googles cache of but not the facebook page of.
well that and gitmo has been such an embarrassment for the US government they have been trying to shut it down. Of course things were doing okay in that regard until wikileaks dropped a whole bunch of cables out and now no one wants to deal with it forcing the US government to keep gitmo open.
It is ironic that gitmo is staying open because of wikileaks.
Most of today's AI's are dumber than chimpanzees. A chimp can figure out if you want a termite then you need a stick. Today's AI couldn't come up with a stick unless it was programed into them and even only stumble on that answer randomly.
Computer AI either have to play with inhuman reflexes or by cheating(adjusting environment settings to suit them). That isn't an AI. It is a computer.
What AI though? Sudoku is pattern recongintion. It doesn't take an AI to solve one. There is more processing spent on image analysis than actual problem solving.
When I think AI I think of some that can create on it's own. Not learn, not solve but create.
Please explain to me why I should be in favor of the government funding particle physics research.
Your using a computer and the internet that were created initially because of government funding. if government fun ding didn't exist The average computer would still be the size of a house and you couldn't connect two of them together. The Government funds the initial money losing half of the science. DARPA's crazy ideas don't always work but they push things in new directions. Look at how many tries the autonomous car, or power armor has been in development. Very few businesses would fund things that long with zero return on investment.
They don't have the direct from buoy data streams. I can tell a lot by wave height across the the 180 miles of Lake Ontario, and the bouy data is updated every 10 minutes.
So why not do it generically? IBM Cell chips integrate a Vector chip on the CPU. Intel and AMD both have video chips integrated into the CPU. So why not integrate like the old Altvec of PPC a Vector co-processor.
Why not use a generic chip designed for that type of instruction set? That way your not limited software versions for your hardware.
Worse what happens when directX 12 comes along? is the hardware useless? can the hardware be upgraded? Direct X 10 is only 4 years old. that isn't a lot of time for hardware. Not when people are getting 6+ years out of a given machine.
If push can to shove and someone like hitler really did appear the response now would be the same as it was then. ignore it until they directly threatened us, and then mobilize in ways never before seen in warfare.
American's don't care about Afghanistan because it doesn't affect the average american. If you go for all out TOTAL War then you would be in for a surprise at just how not lazy American's can be when pushed hard enough. The thing is even Vietnam wasn't a Total war.
American's are lazy because they can be. We don't have to work hard. Just hard enough to maintain what is. When What is no longer exists we will moan and cry and then build it again.
Your right and wrong. at least 50% of the pirates are fishermen who can't fish due to illegal foreign dumping(no not the USA but everyone else in the region). By teaching them a new way to fish you take away half the reasons why they are being pirates to begin with, the Money/Food needed to feed their families. But your right The criminals would take it all. So you use the criminals to further the end game. You draw a line on a map and say the criminals can pirate any boat that strays into these waters without fear of Naval reprisal. That would give them the right to pirate the people fishing their waters, polluting their waters, etc.
The criminals end up doing the job of the local government(governement jobs are lazy to begin with), and you feed the people.
marijuna has far fewer toxins because it is often grown without toxins like fertilizer. If your going to grow it on a grand scale you will need fertilizers and then your introducing harmful toxins to the plant. Tobacco grown as organically as marijuana is now has less toxins too.
And yes if is very possible that the people I know aren't half as bright as they think they were. I am almost sure of it.
While I agree with you in theory, theory and practice doesn't work the same way.
if you let the states decide education, then you get things like black people are slaves, god invented the world in 6 days, Woman are evil as they handed fruit from the tree of knowledge to man, and dinosaurs are a test of your faith by God.
All of those things have been proposed and even made it through state governments as educational decrees.
Also Health care needs to be reformed. The democrat model really wasn't the right one but since no one else suggested anything it is what we got. Then again I bet you like the idea that 1 in 6 Americans are too poor for health care and deserve NOTHING but death. HMO's believe that 50 million americans isn't a large enough pool of people to care about providing health care for. HMO's have raised my health insurance 322% over the last 10 years. I am not making 322% more money but they have raised the rates that much on average. That is why 50 million can't afford health care, and the more they raise the rates the more go without.
Actually it isn't American fishing depleting Somalia's fishing stocks. it is french, Italian, spanish, and indian So they can have a can of 1 Euro tuna.
throat and lung cancer is from smoking period not from nicotine. it doesn't matter what your smoking you really shouldn't be inhaling it. As for turning your brains into mush, long term effects are hard to judge, but every adult I have met who smoked pot back in the 60's and 70's are not what I call intelligent or well off anymore. But I have a limited pool to work from as most of them are also big drunks, and so have other problems that need to be accounted for.
There wouldn't be pirates if it wasn't profitable. Right now you can make a million dollars for 3-6 months worth of work, and you get to shoot a gun off without having to kill someone. Insurance companies are paying 100's of millions of dollars annually into the pirates coffers.
Also the pirates have had to go far from home in order to get around the naval vessels in the area. They are getting violent also because they are having to work harder. The real solution to the problem is to teach them something like fish farming, or other trade, and then pay them top dollar for it for several years. It would be cheaper in the long run, and they would become stabilized at the same time.
Of course because it is the smart thing it is the one thing that no one will do.
yes the federal bureaucracy does need to be it's size. It has to manage 300 million people of conflicting ideals, ideology, desires,etc.
What most people forget, is that the majority of the laws on the books are there because someone abused someone else, and we seek to prevent it from happening again.
Common Sense isn't really that common.
And yes speculation that the king of Saudis arabia is an ass should be kept secret. Your official position is that he is a good king, you can't contradict that view point without you yourself looking like an ass. Unless he does it himself first. How many secrets about your friends do you keep?In any given circle of friends you have that one who you let come along even though very few actually like them. Gossip like that is needed to understand the person behind the power. Such understanding is far beyond your abilities though.
And what can you tell about me other than my posting history? No pictures, websites, links, or journals. one listed friend.
You can google that ID and come up with similar story on a variety of forums. Some of them have an email address linked in, however that address is my honeypot for spam.
I used to have a website, but my ISP took down all custom made websites, and I haven't found / bothered to replace it.
So you have a name and number that leads maybe to my home city if your lucky. But that doesn't help much as my name isn't in any phone book either.

It's Microsoft you you have to add words in that are random and ultimately meaningless.
So it would be the Software Application SuperStore, or SASS. Since your using windows your used to be sassed anyways.

I use java regularly, NOAA's website loads animations, and overlays that way.
I like NOAA as I can get a variety of details that no one else seems to have though i tend to have to dig through their website for them.
He already was. he worked for Netscape, and Netscape fired all those losers for designing a bad browser(4.0 communicator if memory serves)
legal pot won't change anything in South America.
Legal pot will be more expensive than illegal pot you can thank taxes for that. So illegal pot will still flurish.
Sure if you can compile from source code.
As byte code doesn't have copyrights, only the source does.

Get your facts straight.

Regular slashdot readers account for 90% of the N900 market. It never took off with the general population
I wouldn't be surprised if apple sold more iPads in six months than all nokia n900's to date
What does that say about the n900?
