How about "How do I get the fuck away from Election Coverage?" I can't believe how the media is buying into the historically-bankrupt notion that this is the "most important election ever". No, wait, WTF was I thinking, the media will say anything that sounds cool.
The only thing magical about emotions is their complexity. They are a part of our hard-wiring, the product of evolution. Part of the failure of AI is due to the misconception that emotion is not part of the solution.

Altavista was excellent when it first came out. It had the clean Google-like interface, great coverage, and was very controllable. Then it went to hell and got "Portalized". I remember switching to Google because I had to, and that my initial impression was that Google was inferior to the original Altavista, but at least better than anything available at the time.
Such as finding new places to eat and rest. After all, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and certain "lead" (as in "leader") cows spend their spare time exploring. Despite the herd, cows have distinct personalities.
So despite your presumed (all those states have urban areas however) understanding of rural life and culture, you still make comments which sound like Eastern Urban bigotry?
I love how "progressive" people get together and tell redneck jokes and boast about how they would never live in Texas. There is nothing progressive about ANY kind of intolerance.
Somebody please mod the parent up. I had to read all they way to the bottom to find this, the only really insightful comment. For God's sake man, mod it up!
You're correct. In the US we may have our problems, and the strange mix of freedoms and restrictions offered by each of the two parties, but we don't accept hard-core socialism as an option. If I believed in God, I'd heartily thank him/her for this.
You've got to quit trying to advance on separate fronts. People have been exploring and reinventing the same old niches for sixty years. Little has changed except for the availability of powerful hardware with which to realize these disconnected bits and pieces. What is needed is a way to bring the many different segments of the AI and robotic communities together, because the solution is not to find the "winning approach", but to realize the value of the various perspectives and combine efforts. This is not a new idea, it is an old one which apparently just doesn't fit into the established research environments. Go to the library and read some old books on AI if you really want an appreciation of how pathetic the progress of ideas (not hardware) has been. To whet your appetite try some of Marvin Minsky's old papers - http://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky He recognized this situation nearly 40 years ago.
Er, except that the amount of electricity you can generate with those two hydrogen atoms and the oxygen (and even add in some "free" oxygen) will not be enough to separate the next set of them, so you will have to keep adding energy to the system. Sorry, I got a 'D' in physics, but you get an 'F'.
Slashdot Mirror
Robot novels, anyone?
Seen on the marquee of a local theater at the time -- "Is Luke Perry the Fifth Element?"
That's from Max Headroom, kiddies. Probably the most prophetic TV show ever.

Frak you, Hater.
Whew, I'm sure glad you cleared that up!
In Soviet Russia, old Koreans... ...ah crap, wrong joke!
Cool! Obama can copy Brazil then and give everyone a free tin shack to live in!

If you're looking for that Batman guy, he is a frequent poster. You'll find him in the pedantic doucheba-, er, Doc Ruby section of the comments.
Oh and I commend you for your spelling. Damn, I should have modded you up after all!
Why yes, yes I could!
Darn, I had a helluva time deciding whether to give you this awesome reply or mod you up, but either way, YOU WIN!
Hey, if Obama can heal the lepers, certainly he can fix this! After all, that could be his grandma getting all those calls.
If more than x% of words are not in the English dictionary
Then respond with "Back to elementary school with you, you illiterate clod!"

Ha, I liked Battlefield Earth, Waterworld, and the Postman. All 50 of the movies in my queue are available NOW.
Thanks for yet another dose of eastern urban bigotry. -1 Redundant.

Yeah yeah, you were just disappointed because the Blue Fairy wasn't Obama.
