mechanical systems tend to have symptoms, electrical tends to work just fine untill that solder point that wasn't done quite right comes off and pegs your wheels into a full left turn on the highway.
I work for the government (so i'm getting a kick out of these replies)
my boss is great, but she would have my head on a platter if i took a disk or flash drive full of confidential information, after i retrieved my head from said platter i would face criminal charges as well. you just don't do that sort of thing.
it doesn't happen accidentally unless there are HUGE (Like Xbox) flaws in policy and procedures, why would any employee be bringing personal storage in and hooking it up, it's not like the iPod jumps out of your pocket and plugs itself in, you have to bring the cable, hook it up then put files on.
you are assuming that the AI is a true AI, instead a well designed expert system could classify enemies. using detailed radar or video analysis you can search for fast moving parts since most weapons will be fast movine, then automatically evade what appears to be the range of motion of said moving part. sure it's more complex than a roomba but it's not impossible.
so, what you are saying is nuke plants are too dangerous to rely on, so instead we should build orbital masers powerful enough to power the planet?
i tell you what, i'll have a reactor built in my neighborhood and you can have a maser target in yours. not only that but i'll even sell you the anti-radiation suit since i'll never need it, and you'll be getting crisped a few times a year without it.
unless your interest rate is a linear function of your balance, your bank account is growing at a polynomial rate not an exponential rate x^c vs. x^(cx-k)
replace 4 with "any violation will result in the immediate retroactive release to public domain of the work in question, this includes actions taken by "authorized agents" of the copyright holder."
What would the Israelis do if the Pals - including women, children, cows and sheep - started marching against the wall and teared it down... Shoot them all, on live television?
of course not,in a tragic accident a stray rocket would take out the television crew first.
i do believe GP is right though that one day, unless both sides can work out their visceral hatred the Palestinians will find a way to unleash something terrible on israel.
the constant dehumanization is very similar, the holocaust was a culmination of centuries of antisemitism, not an isolated incident in european history by any means.
unless we go with government funded drug research (which i wouldn't be opposed to) drug companies do have the right both legally and morally to charge what they want for chemicals they invent. without these "evil" companies those drugs wouldn't exist at all.
as for people "needing the drugs to live"
these are people who are doomed to death naturally and these companies invest billions in finding ways to save them, expecting a return on investment is their moral obligation so they may continue to find new treatments.
if you let the savvy users run multi-network clients, your less savvy users won't jump ship when their friends stop using the service.
nobody wants to have several chat programs running at once, and it's easier to keep your noobs herded into profitable areas when they aren't being encouraged by their friends to switch services.
getting rid of a watermark is pretty easy and can be done any time any place. it's also fecking stupid to do because any shred of "oh sorry we didn't mean to do something wrong" flys out the window the moment you click the clone brush

all it takes is one spare drive to systematically defragment all of the drives manually
enough delegates have been selected for other candidates that even if every remaining delegate went to paul he would still lose.
32x32 with enough samples and a bit of (actually a lot of) processing can turn out nice sharp images.
it's called a printer.

disregard that. Note to self, avoid math threads while drinking.

that would be HURD

you mean the land Egypt lost to israel after Egypt attacked israel? why the hell should they give it back?
umm, second life is a game and isn't real. killing people is a bannable offense in some games but it isn't against the law or actionable in court.
this will just create a job position for a few EE's willing to spend a few very profitable hours cleaning up these devices

the leveraged violent elimination of a rival is something to be gained, something quite valuable indeed.
close definitely counts with manticoran laserheads, with close being defined as 25,000KM
