One more step to kissing NP Complete good bye, and one more step to invalidating all current forms of encryption. W00t W00t. I for one welcome our new Quantum Overloads (and their ESP capabilites;))
Where does this relate to human slavery? "measure of injustice and wrong" == money, lack of privacy, lack of security, ruining of credit, annoying of advertising, etc. The list to things this could refer to is long, but doesn't make the jump (as you so quickly did) to slavery. To quote someone who had the idea right: "More money, but still locked in a similar cage" - Ludacris
It's about Them taking whatever they can get from you without you complaining/caring enough to do something about it
Where does it say that the slavery of this millenia is actual bondage? Who says it's not a combination of the things above?
I suppose when I said Pilot, I had in my mind my father who flew helicopters for the Army. They are forced to maintain concentration far past what the commercial airliners get away with (After all, those pilots been drinking too, right?;))
Well, to be technical I'm sure they aren't as good as someone not talking to people while driving, so they would still 'suck'. (So I'll keep that $1 I was going to give myself)
But the attentiveness of the driver would be dependant on what he blocks out, so that could be the people in the car or the person on the phone just as easily. If push came to shove (perhaps literally), you could drop the phone and ignore it completely, while it would be harder to block out noise from inside the car. As for additive distractions, of course you can take something bad and make it worse. The discussion was about a single variable and how it impacts the situation.
My honest opinion is that driving should be like a pilot flying, and taken as seriously. But the lack of convenience and stubbornness of people to do what they want while driving is what will limit the possibility of actually having flying cars someday.
BTW, I don't count MythBusters as fact, but then again I don't think a lot of studies are properly representative.
Is this really a surprise? Given the layered design of software, if you have something that can sit between the hardware and the software (and monitor what passes between, and control said information), they why would it not have complete control? The question is how could this easily be placed on someone's machine? The next question is why can a level of virtualization be introduced between the operating system and the hardware during execution?

Anytime they are telling me something I can't do. Especially if this roots from some stupid idiot that did it horribly wrong and now the rest of us are unable to do it, or if it roots from some 'group' formed to 'help' people by limiting what I can do.
Do you like people telling you what you cannot do?
Why can't they just make their own choices and be responible for them? We're talking about adults of legal age. I'm sooooooooo sick of the "It's for your protection" BS that it's not even funny. How about accountability?
Almost funny, but not so much. As if geeks can't 'handle' or use real guns, or aren't safe in the workplace. I'd think with all the training we're better qualified then most.
Better than the cost of crack each month. And while meant as a joke, I know people that have switched from worse addictions like drugs or cigarettes to MMOGs. But I think it's more expensive than the 2-3 games I would personally buy in a year and fully play. Then again, I play WoW waaaaay to much, so the cost/time ratio feels about right.
While I agree, steps are already being taken to limit the neutrality of the internet, so don't think that they aren't already thinking of that next step. And the distaste that communities like this one feel from the consistanly amoral techniques they implore are also part of their plan, to get those that understand what they are doing to become so fed up that they don't care anymore.
Hahaha, this is the truth right here. Who else read this title and thought (In the words of the great Borat) "F*#k To You". Alienate the whole *nix community, and then try to bribe them back. That'll ensure you get the 'right' people on your team.
This is exactly the problem, everyone writes everything for IE instead of following the actual standards, and as such people believe that FireFox displays things improperly. As a Java/JSF developer, IE never seems to get things right that work the first time in FireFox, and the code to ensure it is displayed properly in IE is always more verbose and a pain in the ass to write. And that's not even getting into the customization or security issues.
Send back all the TA's that think they know everything, but you can't understand word One. It might not wholly benefit the Chinese economy, but it'll help clear up the US Educational system!
Which is why everyone admires our police for the dangerous work they do. So realistically they need to do more of it, or not be policing the bullshit. But then if they did they, it would be worthwhile to pay them more, and since the main source of the revenue is the bullshit . . .

Now I want to program in RNA so that it generates the DNA automatically for me. And then, watch the ____ out!
Yes? Oh, the nice reply was that they charge more than that for a seat at dinner near < insert politican's name >?
Kinda hard to compete with the monopolies that are screwing you with your own money!

(and trust me, I've been losing turns for a while finding out that half of what I say doesn't count)
I done speak that proper english! N ain't nothin' wrong wit my speelin'!

The pesimist in me wonders if they outlaw talking on a cellphone and driving, how far behind it will be not talking to passengers while driving?
Maybe Homer had it right with his car!

Or a copy of it for publicity sake.
We don't see enough ignorant talk that you have to make the same generalization that he was? Good job!

So that means that the goverment can exploit it to add censoring? Won't that be a switch from what we're used to?
Naaahh, he obviously just changed his name to reflect his new title. I'm personally was names El Presidente.

Hahaha, precisely!

It's not just what the eye can see, it's what the eye can see after we zoooom way in. ;)
