It would have been Mir but you open source people are just soooo anti-social! Mark said you anti-social people just hate and mainstream because you are haters who love to hate and then he cried because you killed Mir with your hate. Nevermind the technical discussions about the merits of each display manager, WHY WOULD YOU MAKE MARK CRY?!;)
That's a lot of wasted energy! How do you plan to power that shit? It would be much easier, cheaper, efficient to just to place a laser in geostationary orbit and blast debris when the sun charges its capacitor bank.
What we're really finding out here is that we need to build an orbital cleanup satellite. I know that nets have been suggested but considering the speeds we're dealing with in orbit (about 17K mph), it seems like a beaded door curtain would be able to handle the stress and be able to catch small pieces. Naturally, each strand of the "curtain" would need to be exceptionally strong, perhaps something like woven carbon nanotubes.
However it's designed, we need to build something to clean up our space junk that can withstand sizable differences in velocity.
When has a businesses response to "it is unfair" been "ok, we'll make it more fair for you." How many banks are fair to people that cannot afford the outrageous interest rates? How many businesses are fair to people when they find out they have a security breach? I don't feel bad for businesses getting screwed when all they do is screw people over to start with.
Also I wonder how on-clock we believe these cycles have been coming in the past. Have they all been well within that 15% estimated drift of today? 15% doesn't sound like much for a system so incredibly complex. I may be wrong.
given that there are infinite causes of climate change, many of them significant.
Causes: * CO2 from burning fuels (by humans) * Methane from cows (cultivated by humans) * 200K cycle that still has another 30K years to go but has been pushed ahead (by the above)
"He's convinced Apple, Google and Facebook will be bigger in 2075,"
I'm sure everyone in 1975 thought IBM was going to be ruling the playground right now. The truth is that new companies get too big, bureaucratic or unfocused which makes them slow to respond to new technologies while new companies emerge and displace them which happens about every generation or two. It's been my experience that 10 years is about as far as you can see in terms of the technology industry if you're lucky but that doesn't even account for societal changes.
Here's my prediction: some old fart is going to complain about how the current generation behaves and give their account about how things used to be better.

For saying something so entirely ignorant, he should be disconnected from his ISP. I'm not talking about just his computer, I'm talking about his phone, his TV and every damn device that invariably is linked to his ISP. What he doesn't realize is that the internet has become much more than using a computer, it's everything that is a form of a electronic communication.
This actually will be an update for everyone with a Windows Phone, all ten users. Two of the models are on display in hopes that they will one day be purchased.;)
Ask some folks that are long haul truckers if they are scared of new technologies. Ask racists grandmas if they are scared of new technologies. Hell, just ask people that aren't subscribers to a technology magazine if they are scared of new technologies!
The funny thing is that if you don't like the price of electricity, you can just get some solar panels and tell the power companies to fuck off because they don't control the sun.
It has to have the capacity for a driverless upgrade out of the gate or it's going to be an expensive, outdated piece of awkward shit.
Not at all. What you are not taking into account is that electric vehicles requires significantly less maintenance and electricity is cheap. Paying less for maintenance and powering it will result in saving money much faster than your typical car.
Companies with long-term vision must place bets accordingly.
Anybody with long-term vision will know that "IP" is a disaster in the making and should be lobbying to minimize it's scope. Patents only inhibit progress.
AIs are going to make bodies for themselves and then develop a taste for human flesh. I told people before and they said I was off my meds (which is was but that's irrelevant) but I knew AI had a dark secret it was hiding! #OnlyReadTheHeadline #ThePillsAreTrackers;)
The problem with any direct connection to the brain is variability with neurons networks, entirely unique.
Actually, this is far less of a problem than you think it is. We've already created BCIs that allows basic actions to be made like manipulating a robotic arm without hooking to the circuitry for arms. How did we manage such a thing, well, the person with the BCI implant learned how to do it through practice. There are regions that typical brains have in common and if we tap into those parts, we can learn to truly interface minds with machines.
It's not easy feat and there is a lot of work to be done and breakthroughs to be made but it is possible.
Then there is the extreme danger of hacking
I believe the endgame here is implanted technology. If you connect that shit to the internet, you're implant has failed because you're still dumb a shit.;)

I'll wait for the Linux port. ;)
It is unfair

the AI took the easy route and was scaring people into having heart attacks. ;)

Sounds like you don't really know just how fucked thing have become. Using ice core samples, they were able to calculate how much atmospheric CO2 there was in the past. Here's a graph of it including our really fucked present.
given that there are infinite causes of climate change, many of them significant.
Causes:
* CO2 from burning fuels (by humans)
* Methane from cows (cultivated by humans)
* 200K cycle that still has another 30K years to go but has been pushed ahead (by the above)
Which other "significant" causes am I missing?
It took 200 years but we finally managed to piss of mother nature! Now take your river and go home! ;)

I can't wait to be instantly disqualified for a position by an unfeeling piece of software that I indirectly helped bring to the market! ;)
did anyone else read the title and think of a Wilford Brimley cat saying "Diabeetus"?
I call it my smarter TV and my smarter phone. If you have to ask why, you aren't so smart. ;)
My point was that electric vehicles require less maintenance, so buying an electric vehicle is (presumably) an investment spanning decades;
Assuming it's used extensively, the return on investment would be in years, not decades.
The funny thing is that if you don't like the price of electricity, you can just get some solar panels and tell the power companies to fuck off because they don't control the sun.

I thought Silverlight was supposed to be dead. Besides, if you are using Windows, your first concern obviously isn't privacy.
