  1. Why bother? Just do what time and again I've found works best for a trouble-free life: totally avoid any/all AMD CPUs or GPUs.

  2. Re:Easy, the programmer of course. on Who's Liable For Decisions AI and Robotics Make? (betanews.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because most AI and some robots rely on techniques that create emergent behaviour (i.e. not directly programmed therefore unverifiable) such as neural nets and swarm theory.

  3. >> No, you're speaking for yourself. I'm generalising on the wider market.

    On what evidence? gut feeling? How about some actual data if you're going to speak for everyone?

    >> You missed the point I was trying to make
    No I totally got it, I just think (for my case at least) its bullshit.

    >> We in this case being the 99% of people not on Slashdot
    Ahh I see you have personally polled 99% of readers here about this? OR are you just bei ng arrogant enough to automatically presume nearly everyone else marches lock-step to your opinions?

  4. Good luck with that.

    >> You've got nothing

    You BADLY need to educate yourself about corruption in government and stop living in absolute denial like a brainwashed sheep.

  6. Please show me where I said anything at all about their motivations, let alone anything that was predicated on it.

  7. >> But the latter is not something we are talking about

    Speak for yourself. You introduced the concept of most people not caring, not me.

    >> And as if to comically prove my point I just got a notification that 6 applications have updated on my phone, and I'm not even going to look at that list.

    Not even close to the same. Your phone almost certianly gives you the option of how to accept updates, which you have already decided to set or leave set to automatically download/install updates. because sheep like you have been sucessfully brainwashed to not care about whatever dogfood/spyware etc someone freely throws on your phone. The same option in Windows 10 doesn't even exist. You HAVE to take whatever they decide to throw at you.

  8. This seems like a particularly dumb idea. Wouldn't it be better to just add more RAM?

  9. What? no entry for N. Korea?
    They would obviously be #1 because the people there are literally dying to show us all how happy they are.

    Remember TVs labelled as HD-compatible even though they had displays with native resolutions of 720x600?....or gyroscopically stabilized wheeled boards being misadvertised as "hoverboards" even though they can't actually hover at all?.
    Next up will be the abuse of the term "Augmented Reality" to mean the display of anything/everything on a transparent HMD (such as notice of incoming texts etc), even though it has absolutely no relevance to your current physical environment.

  11. It does seem ironic that the law/government makes the laws in the first place, so they can write whatever suits them, yet they still break them.

  12. So if you make the password itself something that would be incriminating, you could legitimately withhold it?

  13. So you're telling me that the Judge has power to order you to do literally anything during a trial? such as stick a knife in yourself or someone else? and if you refuse you are now in contempt and can go to prison for ever?

    >> If you have some evidence of malfeasance in the Clinton Foundation, please provide it.

    Oh dear God are you really that ill-informed, or just another one of those braindead Hillary fans that are determined to live in denial?

    Just google "Clinton foundation corruption" or similar. Its all over everywhere. here's a few to get you started in case even that's to much of a challenge:

  15. While I have less than zero sympathy for child pornographers, what about the 5th amendment? I thought it was to EXPLICITLY prevent the courts from obliging you to give information that may incriminate you.

    Also isn't the onus on the court to prove you're definately guilty before punishing you? I think its more than reasonable that someone could honestly forget their password, especially in a stressful situation such as a trial.

    Trump isn't cutting Meels on Wheels. Meals on Wheels is not a federal program, nor do its local groups directly receive federal funding. Rather, the groups run on a mix of local, state and federal money, as well as private donations and the work contributions of volunteers, which vary depending on the funding structure of each affiliate.
    https://www.washingtonpost.com...

    The only cutting of after-schools programs that I am aware of is the preventing of some states from illegally repurposing tax-payer $$$ that the Fed have given them for education, that they are instead spending on after-school meals (that have also been proved to have no effect on educational scores), and there are already other programs to address welfare.

    As for "Humanitarian aid", you're gonna have to be more specific.

  18. At least Google is fairly high-quality software, user-friendly, and free to the end-user (its far more bug-free and secure and controllable than Windows at least). I think most people intuitively realise there must be a hidden cost somewhere, which involves ads their private data. I mean even Google make no secret of that.

    Buying/using windows is kinda like paying for your own prison. The worst of both worlds. Not only is is a shit, buggy, user-unfriendly product, its not free, not secure, It takes over your PC and removes control from you, it also advertises to you, and Microsoft also secretly snoop and sell your data. Its basically a quadruple (or more) whammy to google's single whammy.

    Well I'd call him the best of two bad choices. I certainly think that he needs to be investigated, at least to get rid of the obviously left-invented myth that the Russians helped Trump win.
    In fact I seriously think that Putin would have preferred Hillary, because they could simply donate a few million $$ to the Clinton Foundation and gotten whatever they wanted.
    Say what you like about Trump, but he's a businessman and negotiates hard and is far more of a pro-US Patriot than Hillary ever is. She had already demonstrated many times that she only cares about herself and that she'd sell out the US for just a few hundred thousand $$ donation to the Clinton Foundation (i.e. a tax-free tunnel to her wallet). Trump is much harder for Putin to manipulate than Hillary ever would be.

  20. I think most people voted for Trump solely because Clinton was such a blatantly corrupt power-crazy bitch that it just couldn't be ignored. I don't think Trump would have won had the democrats ran a more credible candidate than Hillary (i.e. just about anyone). Unfortunately the election came down to the two worst examples of Americans that currently exist.
    If that doesn't show you that the system is broken/totally corrupt, then nothing does. At least Trump said he wanted to drain the swap. Hillary would have been more of the same and worse.

  21. ...while of course your claims are obviously self-evidently correct.
    Typical libtard.

    Trump has only been in power about 60 days. In order for a country to be going to hell, that course needs to have already been set at lot longer ago than that. There's a ton of bad decisions that Obama made that the effects are only just now starting to show (such as the REAL cost of Obamcare and the plan to limit immigration) that Trump is unfairly getting the blame for.

    Good. She's obviously as corrupt as a $9 bill. She needed to be excluded for the benefit of the country as a whole.
