I just realised that Deus Ex has a really nice interface, is well-coded and robust, and takes a lot less space and horsepower than Vista (and it was released a few months after Win2K). It's also more fun. Is there any way to make deusex.exe my shell?
I still don't think that's useful. Having human players with human brains beaten by a computer, which bruteforces requiring a roomful of equipment, is useless. Having a computer that can consistently beat any human master, while being no larger or more dense than a human brain, now that is when we can talk about real AI that's superior.
we really don't delete comments except for the incredibly rare DMCA or Secret Service mandated events.
Not true! A few years back after Timothy or somebody posted a dupe almost back to back he was so embarassed that he nuked the story along with all the posts in it..... Not quite the same thing. Nuking a dupe story nukes(?) all comments in a fairly destructive and unbiased way. Deleting individual posts would be much worse.
Isn't the alternative to throw the defendant out, then?

Can someone explain why this would be a bad thing? Perhaps there should be a way to disable it, but the punishment for speeding should be harsher then, especially if there's an accident.
Similarly with this stop button. Instead of a driver speeding away from the police, potentially killing himself or a family in the opposite lane, the chase can come to a quick and safe (for everyone) halt. If someone hacks the system (and remember there's a human operator in the loop there, so the operator can perhaps only take instructions from the police station), then the worst that can happen is that cars start slowing down on the road. Whoopte-doo, privacy violations ahoy!
Or perhaps the police would abuse the system. For... for what exactly?
The Vista source code will probably get the 2007 literature Nobel prize, "for its narrative mastery, which with great sensibility expresses the failures of mankind."
Except it's a bad deal for those who might buy a PS3, but haven't owned a PS2. There's a lot of good games for the PS2 around, and they're cheaper too. I know that if I buy a PS3 (in a few years or so), I'd like it to have compatibility.
for the amount of shit (rightfully so in some situations) that we've taken for having bases in the region, I'd opt for letting them beef up their offensive and defensive capabilities. I'm more worried about what N.Korea might have to say about that: "The Japanese are arming themselves for another invasion of a free country. The imperialists aggression will not be taken lightly by the just and righteous leaders of the blaha-blaha DPRK! Yada.."
Of course, that's what they're saying about the US right now, so perhaps not much would change...
Yes, the problem of subjectivity. But if I can study your brain and fully understand how it works with regards to your behaviour and experiences, and vice versa, then we understand our own brains as well by proxy. The real problem as I see it is sentience, this mysterious process that somehow is "me". However, if it is possible to fully understand the brain, then this sentience is in there somewhere, as an emergent property of the signal patterns of the brain. "The mind" seems very concrete to most of us, but I think it is really mostly an illusion, made up for convenience of processing and daily life. Some people probably don't even have a concrete sense of "mind". I would assume they would be found at mental health care institutions.

It'd be interesting to have a chronology of user IDs. Myself, I have no idea when I signed up, not to mention when I first started reading.
In that vein, wikipedia has an article on the Linux startup process.
Do you mean the terrible voice acting in the Wan Chai market, perhaps?
Is that computer junk, or the more dangly kind of junk? Just don't make it both, please.
That would be point one then.
AFAIK, Chinese, Japanese and Korean are written LTR on all kinds of paper documents as well, so it's very common to see it.

Seriously though, it's supposed to be right in the middle of the view, because that's exactly what the camera is for.
What do you mean B&W? It's a satellite for science, not for human comfort. Besides, it's not B&W anyway.
More than that, there's an HDTV camera, apparently shooting at 1920 x 1080 pixels. Lunar observation is scheduled at 19th of October.

Or the more serious corollary:
When all your liberties have been removed, only your life remains to be taken.
Or perhaps:
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even dead stones become useful.
Go is like some heavy political commentary, with life lessons thrown in.

But that doesn't actually mean that this is a bad thing, just that the police need more oversight for this and in general.
