"This is a more important issue than you might think. If you doubt the relevance of social values when thinking about the future, ask yourself: how would an intelligent machine built by computer scientists in China differ from one built by computer scientists in the United States... Or an electric car design coming from computer industry veterans rather than a Big Three carmaker? "
1 - The intelligent machine built in the US is not censored
2 - Electric car would be highly efficient and not consume oil, therefore it is blocked by the lobbying power of oil companies which have recently benefitted from record profits given to them by high oil costs ($74/barrel.)
Electric cars should be in use right now, there is no reason why we can't produce them efficiently - right now.
When you find that you have to use patented Educational materials, it's time to go back to the ole drawing board and educate yourself at the local library & on the internet.
From Blackboard's website:
"For nearly a decade, Blackboard has been a thought leader in the e-Learning industry and has developed products that have helped to fundamentally alter how educational institutions and their educators teach and communicate with students," said Michael Chasen, CEO of Blackboard.
Interesting to note that a survey was done recently of the most trusted Government branches/offices/operations and the USPS was ranked #1. This is in direct contrast to the Executive Branch of government.
there are still bugs to be worked out: The stickers do not change color to reflect an overripe or rotten piece of fruit.
Well the bugs don't need a sticker to tell when an overripe piece of fruit is ready to be consumed or discarded.
Only very inexperienced fruit consumers do.
Agent Smith: Did you know that the first internet was designed to be a perfect online experience? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire fortunes were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect internet. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their online persona through suffering and misery. The perfect internet was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why Internet 2.0 was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization.
I just read somewhere recently that deja vu is your mind blacking out for a millisecond.
You think you saw the image before due to this blackout, I think.
Web mashups are hot. It's hard to look at a list of websites offering an API -- Google Maps, Yahoo Geocoding, eBay, craigslist, Flickr, YouTube -- and not start thinking about great ways to combine them.

Dammit Spock, don't quote logic to me... I may be a good ole country doctor, but I know what I like...
Quite simply Doctor, I examined the comparison from all angles, and it was plainly pointless.
Logic informed me that under the circumstances, the only logical conclusion for your opinion would have to be one of confusion.
Logical decision, logically arrived at.
Great for tracking that person that cuts you off on the freeway so you can find out exactly where they park.
Then, you can write up a polite note about how they should consider improving their driving skills.
I'm concerned about my privacy. Are your satellite images real-time?
We understand your privacy concerns and can assure you that the satellite images are taken from a variety of commercial and public resources and are not real-time in nature. The images that Google Maps displays are no different from what can be seen by anyone who flies over or drives by a specific geographic location.
Whew! For a minute there I thought I saw black helicopters in my rear-view mirror soon after I searched Google traffic to go get a loaf of bread.

Today we celebrate the Brighton 826 MetroBus.
Yes, I realize it has the route number 273 on it, but really it is the 826!
Let's all celebrate the wonders of mass transit!

We were fundamentally altered, alright.
If it does die, it will reincarnate itself as a similar company with a different logo.

Hybrid scooters are nice, but what the US really needs is better, more available mass transit.
Most people won't buy this scooter, but they will ride a train.

Images 1,2, and 6 were excellent. Spam never looked so good.
#2 Reminded me of clownfish.
Now if we could only make money off of deleting our spam, it would be a beautiful thing.
Nothing wrong with Cardigans!
"So by that rationale, if I am a personal injury attorney I should start ramming my car into random vehicles?"
If you are a personal injury lawyer, please drive said car off of a cliff.
And if so, to balance your karma, have you ever considered donating your personal fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation?
I hope they use a doubleint.
Correct, the Doublemint twins are one of the only reasons ads are worth watching.

Hey, if the Pirate Bay can spawn its own political party, why can't /. ?????
/. overlords by those with the highest average mod points - a true democracy!
Good idea, we can select our new

Your opinion is highly illogical.
Congress, with all the problems in the world, focuses on THE most pressing problem right now - misleading meta tags.
With respectable, upright, and moral leaders like these, we will all be safe from accidentally looking at pr)n - we are saved!
In the spirit of world communication and harmony, we should all adopt this French model.
French models usually aren't tech saavy, but this one is.

So did we finally discover the Midichlorians that Qui-Gon was rambling about?

FUD is what sells the product, one can expect that it will apply to cell phones and all other new devices that even have one virus written for them.
