  1. Cyberbrain sclerosis on Next X-Prize — $10M For a Brain-Computer Interface · · Score: 1

    So what will we do when people start developing Cyberbrain sclerosis? Who will be liable, will it be the indivdual or group who invents the interface or the one who manufactures it or the neurosurgeon who installed it?

    And also will section 9 be involved?

  2. Re:Have you seen Al Gore? on Next X-Prize — $10M For a Brain-Computer Interface · · Score: 1

    That would assume he can actually add 1 + 1. I think Al Gore is running off of a "speak and spell" by the way he talks. Either that or he is running of the device E.T. built utilizing a speak and spell... "Al Gore, Phone Home"....

  5. Re:Not just a car company on Woz Cites "Scary" Prius Acceleration Software Problem · · Score: 1

    This problem didn't affect the testing they normally do with cars because the testing they normally do it usually constrained to smashing the car against a brick wall with dummies inside. And Dummies don't complain about unexpected acceleration.....

  6. The iCar ..... on Woz Cites "Scary" Prius Acceleration Software Problem · · Score: 1

    I can just see the iCar, which will only be able to accelerate only as much as Apple thinks you should accelerate and will only work with an iPod/iPhone and will only be able to use Apple approved fuel in it...

  7. Re:What democracy? on South Australia Outlaws Anonymous Political Speech · · Score: 1

    The best form of government is a Constitutional Republic where a Strongly Enforced Constitution is used as a tool to chain down the politicians in power to prevent them from running roughshod over the people's rights.

    Unfortunately in the US, the Constitution is not enforced as much anymore as it is ignored by the Politicians who use Government to feather their own nests and use the promise of laws and government programs (legalized citizenry bribing) in the name of doing things "for your own good" to acquire and hold onto power. Even the best political system is only as good as it's least common denominator, ie. the Politician, and thus we are all screwed.

    At this point I would rather be governed by Robots because while they may routinely take old people's medicine for fuel, at least they are consistently evil.

  8. Re:The most dangerous government in SA's history on South Australia Outlaws Anonymous Political Speech · · Score: 1

    Sounds like that administration is the bastard child of $cientology and $ocialism with a little bit of Fac$i$m mixed in to spice things up.

    They also like to take land away from the farmers without any compensation so they can play the game of "carbon credit ponzi scheme"
