It is funny how Slashdotters don't know anything about the real world. You don't just "call up and order a warrant" like you would get a pizza. For fucks sake.
Life doesn't work that way. It isn't black and white. There is a grey area where a judge determines if evidence is admissible or not. There isn't one set of procedures that police follow. You can throw cops in jail because they didn't follow some imaginary 3 step procedure.
You fell into a trap: you assume that things are going to improve at the same rate. For millions of years humans couldn't fly at all. There is no commercial supersonic transport across the Atlantic anymore. We have a limit: the speed of light. We can't even make a spacecraft that can travel at 0.0001% the speed of light.
That is science fiction. You obviously have been watching Prometheus. We cannot create intelligent machines with personalities of humans. We cannot attain a significant percentage of light speed needed to get to other star systems. Like Douglas Adams said: space is big. He was right.
Uh, you just imagined it. Just face it: there is no life, certainly not in our solar system. We would have detected it already. Life is not Star Trek. We have plenty of imagination - but that is what it is : imagination. Plus, it is "teeming" not "teaming".
There is no life in space because it is big. Really big. And time is even bigger. Species don't live forever. The chances of two species of intelligent life coexisting is vanishingly small. Even if it occurred we could never contact it, because space is too big and we are limited by the speed of light. Space nutters need to give it up: we are the only ones. Star Trek isn't going to happen, ever.
What? People are incompetent in computer security and dishonest? Give me a break. GOOGLE and MICROSOFT are fucking incompetent at computer security. And people are dishonest all over. You guys are ridiculous. Trump is a fucking idiot. And if you vote for him you are a fool. I don't care how bad Hillary is, Trump is infinitely worse.
Rich executive is getting older and realizes that you can't take money to the grave, so he is investing in biotech in hopes it makes him live longer. Sorry buddy, it won't help.
That is because "vouchers" is code for "send your kids to private schools on public money" and "homeschooling" means "brainwash your kids about the Bible, guns, and Trump at home". Arkansas and Alabama would reject this in a heartbeat.
Exactly. We can't fill our open positions with qualified developers, we can't find enough of them, even with H1B's. Lots of people can't find jobs, but if you are a good programmer in the US and you can't find anything, there is a issue with YOU.
Where have you guys been living? Outsourcing has been going on for decades. Yet the world keeps turning and things are pretty good in the US compared to the fucking Phillipines.
Everyone knows that it is cheaper in Manila. The point is that you don't have to worry about people in Manila taking your jerb. Manila has been always been cheaper than Denver, yet the world still turns every day. You guys are a bunch of drama queens.
Yet there are more programmers in the US than there are in the Phillipines. You know why? Because bullshit. You can't simply "hire a guy from Manila" and expect him to produce code. Software development doesn't work that way. Time/cultural/languages differences are too hard to overcome for any moderately complex project. You guys are xenophobes.
How do you determine who is going to give you the best value? You hold an auction in which everyone is free to participate. Otherwise the bitcoins will end up in some "exchange" held by some Senators brother who bought it at 30%.

life means intelligent life other than what is found in Earth.

Webscraping isn't illegal. It might be against the terms of service, but what are you going to do? Revoke their accounts?
What the f is a "wobble"?

Basically he is a suburban middle age white guy who is afraid brown people and children are going to take his $70,000 a year job.
Oh look, another "lets not educate the children so I can keep my jerb" rant from theodp. How original.
Exactly. If you wanted to assassinate someone, you would make it look like a robbery.
Who is Nicholas Carr? Let me guess: he is a "thought leader".
Maybe someone will come up with a HOSTS file solution? Do you think it is possible? Nah...
What trouble? You install adblock/ublock/whatever. It takes 5 minutes. If you aren't running adblock your computer has probably already been hacked.
I know, right? Pushing malware laden advertisements is the only way to make money.
CNC? You mean 3D printer???
