So, what you are saying is, because other dangerous activity is permissible, it makes no sense to ban a particular dangerous activity, regardless of the cost/benefit calculation for this particular activity. This is some interesting logic you subscribe to. The existence of other dangerous activities has little relevance to the cost/benefit calculation.
A moron, really? I don't think censorship is particularly moronic. Just evil. Do think the government doesn't know what it's doing? What would you do if you were an evil overlord?
If I film myself taking a shit on a toilet, should this work be transferred to digital/HD media before it is lost forever? Not everything is worthy of preservation.
I honestly don't understand how this supposed to work. If you introduce some unfit mutant males into the population, the unfit strain will die out in one generation or so. That's natural selection. And then you are left where you started. It seems like you would have to release a number of unfit males which is comparable (or perhaps larger than) the number of fit males already present in nature in order to really effect genocide. I don't see how that is possible.
The solution is to set up monitors all over the company campus, showing your face, evil overlord style. You could have more presence than actually being present.
Hahaha, that's naive. Firstly, if labor is unlimited, resources (oil, arable land, water, metals, etc) will still be finite (and scarce), so economics will not disappear. From what I know about human nature, the owners of these resources and robots will not simply give away such resources to the have-nots. The have-nots, without any ability to work (to exchange labor for resources) will be reduced to starvation and crime. With rampant crime, the haves will focus their attention to amassing security robots to protect their stash of resources.
The summary seems to contradict itself on this point. It's all very unclear. It seems he was denied because he didn't want to pay the $1200 protection fee.
Biological Science. Any scientist these days is going to have to be proficient with computers and analyzing data. In fact, you'll probably be doing much more statistics and number crunching in biological science than in PhD level computer science, which tends to be in some theoretical study less focused on crunching of numbers. And biologist just commands respect. There's just no similar honorary title for computer scientist, and although PhD is different, it's hard to not associate CS with a factory-like undergraduate program, churning out low-skilled CS majors.

Actually, saving lives kinda is the point, despite what your convoluted brain processes are saying.
That would be awesome!
Of course, the "millions in stock" won't be worth much after everyone quits.
What if they had instructions?
What, you think they don't have spies?
If we can control it from some base hundreds of miles away, so can they.
Or, you know, I could post pictures of you on flicker or my own website. You can't stop it, you can't delete it.
That's why we have a jury system. To judge the law.

just drop all design patents altogether.
Forcing Koreans to pay US companies should help the US economy. Well, at least, in theory.
Why do they need to prove anything? It's not a big secret that US is spying on Iran with drones.

Actually there's nothing random given the multiverse religion.
There. Fixed that for you.
sorry, I meant the article
I, for one, welcome our new botnet overlords.

The DEA are going after the wrong guy. They should be asking the meth labs to pay the $1200 license.

Three words could have saved the baker a bundle of money and prevented a big headache.
I don't know about potential damage, but the real damage of a nuke is much worse than any bioweapon.
