Yet another Fox series undeservingly cancelled. They saw the error of their ways with Family Guy, but there are lots of shows that are good enough to be brought back. Firefly being one of them.
I think the music industry is so desperate (and delirious at this point) that they believe that raising the prices on iTunes will send consumers back to buying cds. Which is of course ridiculous.
I for one am very happy to see this technology advancing. It's not gonna take much intelligence to make an autonomous driver better than most human drivers.
I agree, voting needs to remain absolutely anonymous. BUT, there still must be a paper trail. The 'reciept' you get after you vote will list WHAT votes you made but will not identify WHO made the votes. An official would ask you "Are the votes on this print-out the ones you intended?" If yes, allow the electronic votes to be recorded and keep the print-out. If no, destroy the print-out, delete the electronic votes in the machine, and try again. The nice thing is that later, you can hand count the print-outs and detect any discrepancies with the electronic votes.
Imagine someone playing a multiplayer fps with a screen name like George Bush or something. Every time he gets killed, the feds would have to investigate!

Let the increase in file sharing commence!
Why should it be that accurate when humans are MUCH less accurate than that. Even 80% or 90% would probably be an improvement.
The big question is, if a car does hit a child, who gets sued? The software developers???

If god wanted her to walk, he would have allowed it through the use of stem cells. Oh, wait, he has.

I don't think Russia views it as non-profitable. (i.e. space tourism)
