As a hobby cat herder, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on which animal to herd said cats with? I've tried dogs but the damn things keep trying to eat the poor felines. And don't get me started with cow prodders.
I'm Canadian and I have to say that we really don't have that bad of security.
We have a lot of programs for immigration as well. This helps stop most people from sneaking into the country since they can LEGALLY get in for very little effort. Mind you if they're doctors and whatnot, they'll more than likely turn to cab driving for a few years until they get enough 'worked in the country' experience but thats another story. Sad when a Dr/PHD drives you places:/
I've tried to go to America once at the niagara border because me and a friend had just got drivers licenses and while crossing were actually grabbed out of the car, pulled inside the building, had the van literally torn apart ( Note: we had just cleaned the van earlier that day. After the search, the seats had been removed and just thrown back in, glove compartments were open and ownership documents were thrown everywhere, even spilled the coffee. ) and then told to go on our way a few hours later. So basically the only thing we did was try to find a way to get back fast because we didn't want to be there now. Crossing back across the border was like being hugged after that. A few questions, joked about the American border crossing with the guard and we were back 'home'.
Canadians don't need the 'increased' security aka assholes at the border.:(
I think that all those NASA scientists and engineers going to work in some other country and on some other project might be more of a threat to that security than keeping them happy until they retire.
"if for no other reason than "technology export concerns"". Why export the people who make your technology?
NASA was basically started by people who were IMPORTED to work. Things were too tough for the scientists in their respective countries and America used to be the land of the free. Now it's the "land of the free(tm)(c)(etc)"
I was actually starting to think that maybe "tiny gears" and "vibrating reeds" might be defective by design. Maybe the forms themselves cannot take the stresses very well and lead to fatigue. Is there any research for finding stresses in single forms? like break/crack points between edges and whatnot depending on how they are shaped and how much force is put on them relative to the rest of the structure? or is it 4:30am and i should've went to bed hours ago?
I haven't had much experience in this area but from my understanding heat doesn't travel very well in space since there isn't much to take away heat. Anyone care to explain?
If the AI was extremely advanced and had developed a personality all on its own, similar to the concepts found in Ghost in the Shell, I'd say it's reasonable grounds for murder if someone did find a way to terminate its program.
However, a robot that advanced would probably have a way of backing up such information or be extremely difficult to 'kill' in the first place.
The whole question of identity is a pretty hard issue that i can see becoming the next big political vow in such day and age. "If elected president...". Of course this won't have anything to do with robots. Robots will actually get rights later on when they start protesting or revolting.
God i hate these specific discussions... AI + Marriage shouldn't even be debatable... I mean people can put their dogs in their wills nowadays. Robots should just be appended.
I've checked your post history and it seems you've been trolling Slashdot for a bit now. If you don't like it, don't visit the site. If you want to change it or help create better systems, by all means do so. Your trolling the countless articles however does not help one bit and just further creates the hell that you explained. A self-fulfilling prophecy, no?
Sadly, most of what you say is true. A lot of Slashdot has been replaced with memes, but there is still a lot of interesting people and discussion going on too. You just need to find out how to search through it all.
Go to your settings and adjust the discussion the way you want to see it, It helps sort out a lot of shit that is useless information. Kinda like the way Google sorted the mass of useless pages dedicated to peoples dogs from the information you actually want.
Also, the whole negative stability system is basically life as we know it, if you want people to be democratic about things, you will get a shift to where thoughts become normal/regular. It's called the majority. Yes, there might be the odd chance that there is someone who will come up with a post so brilliant that the masses might not understand it and mod it down. That happens every day to many people in science. Which is why they're usually dead by the time everyone else has caught up to them. It's not exactly a bad thing, it's just that the majority can't handle the facts at that specific time.
Anyways, sorry for being off-topic guys but it really needed to be explained to the masses of people/trolls who don't understand how or why most things work as they do.
Slashdot Mirror
Or rename ALL the streets to "DON'T PANIC". I think that might be more like him. xD

Not A Slashdot Association
Oh man. The ROAMING costs would be INSANNEEE.

This is huge news.

Only one man would dare give me the raspberry!
Depends on how super cool those weapons are :O
Seriously, wielding the power of a million suns to destroy an entire galaxy would be freaking awesome.
I AM a pillow, you insensitive clod!
Don't make me go play video games on your ass! I'll do it! I'm crazzyy!
How would you cool something like that?

Bah! People seem to find new ways to unleash goatse.cx upon others everyday.
How do you calibrate this magic laser to several unknown viruses at the same time?
:D
With funding of course!
Quick men, on to the other site now that we've taken down the first! xD
Thank god you can flush the little shits.
It's the BIG SHITS you gotta watch out for!
If you read the first anniversary stories, you'd know that it actually was 'slashdotted'.
;D
By it's own userbase even.

To be honest Jack, I don't think you want Mike turned ON. ;D
Which book? I'm looking for some to read on these sorts of things. :D
Well I assume getting a lego lunar lander up to an altitude of 150 feet would be pretty easy. ( by just strapping a rocket to it ).
I'm just worried about the hovering for 90 seconds, might be a bit tricky.
Oh. That AND trying to steer it onto landing sites without exploding from impact.
That's just me though.
Dunno i like the "You-Tube slaughterer" better. It sounds more brutal than You-Tube killer.
The second two words are already covered by remembrance day!
