While it may have been obvious it was going to happen, it wasn't necessarily obvious when. A lot of financial analysts put the time frame in relation to the age of the universe, not a very useful order of magnitude imo.
One issue I've heard is people use the term "even that cannot happen in the age of the universe", or something to that effect. Its their way of removing unlikely events.
The problem is that they: a) Incorrectly measured the likelyhood of events b) Thought that something with a low chance of happening equated to never happening.

While this type of selection isn't quite like selective breeding of animals, there are complications that arise with them (specifically dogs who are bred for looks) after only a few generations.

Things like diseases and gender affect how the child is raised and how they are perceived. Quite a bit different than whether they have blue or brown eyes.
What about the sentimental value of the person who gets booted from the team even though he has a better time? In my eyes it will be another failure of affirmative action, but a failure that so many people choose to ignore.
Education is good I guess, but this is approaching the need to educate people to potty train their children. Eating is one of the most basic factors of being alive, and if people cant grasp that then I'm almost (well not really) surprised they figured out how to breed.
I'm not talking so much about adults working in a sedentary environment, but the seemingly simple idea of cooking a meal once in a while so your kids aren't 150lbs at 10.
"Yes its all OK now, we can _blame_ it on the fat people!"
Blame is all its about. We can and do blame countries for over-population, countries for over-consumption per person, people in SUVs, etc. It seems like blame may be the word of the year.
"Advancing features shouldn't have to come at the price of architectural instability, stated compatibilities, and so on." While it would be convenient, software does not come forth fully featured from Gate's forehead.
"They should have fixed this long ago." "Good QA should catch this." Alternatively I would say that proper development would prevent these issues. Now point me to even a simple project that started out as 1.0, ended up as 1.0 and has 0 bugs.
I could deal with the video up till iI heard "September". I was incredibly disappointed. I can forgive them making fun of foreigners because I know that in America the same thing is often done, if unconsciously (speaking louder does not in fact help forgeiners understand you), but no more than that.
I admit, I got to the 3 minute mark and just stopped watching.
Because you can potentially make lots of money parterning with them. Short term gains are greater than long term losses in many peoples (executives) eyes.
You bring up an interesting point, and a point from the movie. Terrorism is no longer causing a country or group of people to be terrorized, its causing the government to be terified of losing control.
"...that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
I can't remember who said that, probably someone unimportant.
So they just lock up everyone who mentions or visits the site. They've done it before with people who visit/buy those card readers/writers used for direct tv (not locked up, but gotten the records).
I'm feeling pretty teriffied with the direction that goverments are heading...does that count? Can I know request all of the governments keys, I mean what do those perverts have to hide?
Torture only works for so long. Apart from it giving fairly unreliable data which means that you have to torture multiple people to verify the information or physically verify it (which in many cases would be too late to do anything about), it can also be worked around by a group of people.
Yes for 1 individuals data you can extract it. But if terrorism is being talked about then these are many people, with multiple cells working independent of each other. The plans for a specific attack lets say could involve several people who have no contact with each other, if more than a few people odn't perform certain indepentant actions then the attack is either changed using an algorithm or stopped without doing any real harm to the terrorist cells.
If instead of torture you us economic/social pressure then while taking a bit longer, you hopefully don't have every child of that culture hating you from the moment they are born.
And this is even ignoring the fallout from when the public find out about this, and they will.
Except that it would be easy enough to simply recover/copy the data. A better approach would be that 1 key decrypts the data into the real info, and another key decrypts it into another set of human readable but meaningless data. The main problem though is that you have to do this assuming that the encryption/decryption algorithms are available to the unauthorized key user.
A method of doing this is to multiplex multiple data streams, 1 random data, 1 real data, 1 fake but plausible data. encrypt this and it spits out the key. As long as the real data is underneath the noise of the random data it should be very difficult to extract or even detect that there is another stream of data.
Just a few thoughts, I haven't done the actual math for this.

I flip on the TV and I see people promoting drug use all the time /shrug. And some of the side affects of those make me sick just to hear it.
Perhaps you could have kept your moral high ground if you left off that last paragraph.

Actually, I have no idea what your point is.
I could deal with the video up till iI heard "September". I was incredibly disappointed. I can forgive them making fun of foreigners because I know that in America the same thing is often done, if unconsciously (speaking louder does not in fact help forgeiners understand you), but no more than that.

"gotten off", lol
sounds cool, though perhaps they should have kept it in closed beta
Yeah, damn those right wing knee jerkers and such.

It is not. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.
Myth: Bush is an idiot.
Fact: Bush optimized the original MP3 codec and worked with top engineers to create the ipod.
