How can we take this seriously when it completely screws up the first question? I'd say we need to develop smarter humans if they were fooled by this bot beyond that point.
a) What do you care what Joe spends his money on? It helps the economy anwyay, which your opinions on this would seem to indicate, would help you. b) I'm sure you won't smell too much of the rotting Soylent masses from your ivory tower, so why do you care what happens to Joe? c) For the love of God how does it hurt you if someone else decides to help Joe?
Please try to think about being in a position that doesn't involve having just bought a Jeep and then reconsider the proposal. That goes for everyone else on this page who assumes nothing bad will ever happen to their career.
It's nice to see you sorta agreeing, but I still have to pick up on the general tone underlying this shows, one that's mirrored in plenty of other posts. If you think money is in anyway tied to real values of things you only need to watch the economy news each night. Inflation is caused by entities such as banks constantly siphoning off the outputs of productivity (wealth) and putting it in big piles where it doesn't get used.
But then you actually put the word "offensive" next to the idea of wealth distribution. While I understand that's an incredibly popular standpoint, particularly in the US, it totally boggles my mind.
Do people teach their kids to share any more? Tell me, if you do but you hold this opinion, why bother teaching it to your kids at all? Surely what you teach them is that the optimal situation is one where one sibling controls the other entirely, through manipulation of the relative values of the things the subjugated sibling wants?
The idea that someone with more of something than they need can give some of it away is, to me, so fundamental to how society works that I find it scary to be face to face with people who honestly seem to hold to the mantra that they wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire. Meanwhile these people always seem to be STRONGLY behind the idea that it's ME who should bail out multi-billion dollar fuckups by banks for example.:-)
Finally, you're incredibly concerned that I don't waste my free money. What did you do with your latest share dividends (i.e. what do people who currently get free money as a result of others working do with it)? Investing in education and agriculture in the third world? I didn't think so.
Yep trillions of dollars. So about as much money (although arguably imaginary money in the first place) would be missing all of a sudden if the oil-driven economy of the US were to collapse. Without getting into the details of why, it's ludicrous to believe we have any other interest in the area.
Well, except that whole Jewish state thing you guys set up...
....and that they aren't already using YYY and ZZZ, and XXY, and XYZ.
If the terrrorists really want to stop you seeing what they're saying, they simply won't use any combination of X, Y or Z. They'll use A, B and C where those things are completely unknown to you.
I'm not sure if you're joking or not when you talk about a 'functional' spreadsheet program that by default prevents you from looking at two spreadsheets at once.:-P
I'd also love to know just what Excel does, apart from blindy executing native code it finds in a spreadsheet, that the others don't do. Isn't that in fact the problem? That nobody else would be stupid enough to allow embedding DLLs into spreadsheets or executing them without asking?
I mean there's only so many sorting, summing and graphing options you need on a normal day, so either it must be the scripting that people miss, or since I checked out OoO it has removed hundreds of already working features.
You mean like the feature where I as the *end user* get 12 emails a night about synchronisation problems. TEMPORARY synchronisation problems.
Or perhaps you're referring to the way its client can't remember the extra calendars I've opened or that I want to see them in full week view?
Or is it the way that Outlook screws up drawing your list of messages, so you go through your inbox deleting stuff and you're off by one but can't tell.
Oh I know, it's the way that when you're typing near the bottom of the email it thinks you're in the signature area and stops spell checking and showing paste options?
People crap on that they need this and that from Microsoft. Bullshit. What the human race really needs is at least one properly functioning office suite.
What on earth are you on about? I never understand how a level playing field for health is a bad thing. How is that ceding power? Isn't that protecting the power from being abused by capitalists? And lets face it, if you are where I suspect you are, spouting such nonsense, those have ZERO accountability to even economics any more, let alone morality.

Hmmm yeah when that funding from you guys ran out it was hell down here. Oh except for all that coal our self-sustaining economy keeps selling, but hey that's only a half a billion tons per year.
Or on the other hand, Mars probes cost NASA $3 billion, but one man without a government bureaucracy looking over his shoulder could have done the same for a hundredth of the cost in a hundredth of the time.
Market uptake for this Windows is the worst ever and I think will level off at around what Windows 8 was.
The OS is a service! LMFAO. So you mean like some sort of system that allows me to operate my computer? A modular system of components that can be independently upgraded and improved? Like Windows 95?
And this is the winner: They can ship improvements to me without selling me a new OS. Really? Aren't they clever!
The trouble is, like most anti-GMO people, you have a fundamental lack of understanding of what genes actually do.
They mutate by themselves for one thing. Should we be running around ensuring that no natural mutations occur? No because that would be an insane exercise and would fly in the face of the fact that DNA has been doing shit for a billion years before you came along to worry about it.
Intermingling crops? Are the crops you're talking about native to the area you're in? Are those crops naturally occurring strains of plants or have they been only in human cultivation for a few thousand years?
I'm not gonna say we _can't_ kill the planet by messing with species, but I will say with the utmost confidence that we won't.
If you want to be a member of an organisation that makes sure you have things like toilets and breaks at work, then a union isn't ripping you off either.

It's now possible to open an app by tapping its notification bar thingo on the front screen.
You can't call it a lock screen any more because it doesn't fucking lock anything.
I can guarantee that this idea was the brainchild of some UX hobgoblin.
"Is a "no, you!"-kind of reply all you can come up with for a proper comeback?"
He/she probably decided a dick like you that lashes out at random and clearly has huge issues about relationships wouldn't be worth the effort.
I've seen people be all sorts of idiots on here, this is about the most unjustified and personal attack ever.
PS before you ask I'm married AND know where my wife is. Is that OK with you?

Then I disagree. What did you think they were giving you free AV for before this announcement? Fun?
This has been said so many times on this page.

The entire economy basically works on the fact that if you have a big pile of money you can make more money off it for nothing.
All they want to do is stop giving that money to people who are already rich, and split it evenly amongst the people who actually produce it.
They just might not put it exactly that way since that would scare the "I've got mine, everyone else can burn" crowd. ;-)

Hah, and you think these entitled inbreeders are capable of wrapping their minds around a notion that complicated?

I wouldn't go that far. They are still a corrupt and violent bunch of thugs. They just can't get away with shooting you as easily.
Searching for the video of the Brisbane cops kicking the shit out of and macing a chained dog but to no avail right now.

Nobody is suggesting it's a permanent outpost you have to go to first before Mars. What it is is a scaled down version of the same problem.
Or on the other hand, Mars probes cost NASA $3 billion, but one man without a government bureaucracy looking over his shoulder could have done the same for a hundredth of the cost in a hundredth of the time.
I didn't think Framsticks was all that new

Windows 10 as an alternative to something? I don't think so.
Dogs were developed millenia ago.

If it cost them too much do you trust them not to take those things off you?
You are of course aware that whatever you do and however much you're paid for it you generate at least 10x that much wealth for your employer?
Just keep shaking your fist at those invisible illuminati who want a tenner from your monthly wage. They're clearly the REAL problem here.
If you want to be a member of an organisation that makes sure you have things like toilets and breaks at work, then a union isn't ripping you off either.
Wonder how many people gave G+ an instant and permanent dismissal based on just that one overreach?
