In france, we try hard to make the bipedal environment more weelchair-friendly and it cost a lot. I don't want to imagine how it would be if we had to cope for those artificial legs too. Anyway, I still remember how the Segway was supposed to make us entirely redsign cities, so I don't really worry.
It's still some cool engineering that will probably be partially implemented as part of a better idea (DARPA mule?).
Don't be so pissed off by a few example, despite showing no sign they deserve their chance, they are the one in a million. And we have some too in CS that we love to hate: Gates, Jobs, Balmer...
On average, going to a CS course still pays back far better than trying to be the next pop or sport star.
I am a junior in CS. That means I am not smart, right?
I think it has nothing to do with being smart. If you went into CS for the money and the girls, well, maybe... A career choice is for most of us not mostly about money, but more about self respect and the occasional really interesting work that makes up for lack of sex.
To be honest, I don't see how USA is still number one. -The USA has a massive debt. -Its economy is for a great part based on heavy usage of imported oil, the rest being service. -Oversea worker are on average good too and they can do good work when not leaded by morron short-view outsourcer. -Good education is very expensive, so if it becomes financially comparable in the long term, burger flipping workers have the avantage of not being outsourceable. -I won't even mention the USPTO and american fair justice system ("the one with the more money always win") that would make us european laugth if it wasn't hype for our politicians to copy your mistakes.
I therefore only see two good reasons in favor of USA domination: -Top public and corporate R&D, but several other countries are getting good too. -No one has any interest in forcing the americans to pay up their debts. The consumption drop would ruin half of the world.
No, you are wrong, a terrorist is "anyone who is against us and is financially or military inferior to us". RIAA (or congressmen to a certain extend) have a lot of money and power, so they cannot be terrorists.
Terrorism is just a matter of point of view. In the eighties, when trained and funded by the CIA to kill russian soldiers, Bin Laden was neither a terrorist nor an "unlawful combatant", he was an ally. in the fourties, a lot of terrorist groups were fighting agaisnst the nazis in France and other occupied countries and despite half of them being communist, the USA helped them.
I remember reading that fusion reaction could occur at extremely high temperature and be very exothermic. So maybe the real question is not where this "extra energy" comes from, but how did they manage to reach the activation threshold without putting billions of $ in it.
what made people think that evolution stopped with the modern era?
Many people don't think.
Most don't think about evolution.
Some believe evolution has never existed.
And the few other ones know evolution can't be measured in terms of tens or hundred tears.
Evolution was often a serie of long phases of genes random alteration and short phases of selection. Apparently, we are simply in the first phase waiting for [new plague/meteor/end of oil supply/WWIII/aliens/global warming].
"most" is an exagerated word. Anyway, living in a western country is by itself a far better protection against the plague. Moreover, the death by the plague can't be limited to genes: at least in France, most of the black plague victims lived in the towns.
Yes, it could bring money, but:
-Most of it will be spent in the confort of those tourists.
-They hate science anyway, so the extra money will more likely go to the hype missions.

Simply too expensive. The accident was just an excuse.

somehow i get the impression this is not intended for the gian robot fanatic demographic..
Looking at the photo, it seems to be mostly intended for dwarves or outdoor steps. on it, my head would be about 2m50 above the ground...

...Be french in USA and use your right not to incriminate yourself for something you weren't even suspected of and risk death penalty.
Doesn't it qualify for a RICO?
1. Implement this technology
2. Ask money to disable it
3. Get sued to oblivion
4. Become a homeless and beg for quarters in subway
5. ???
6. Profit

Maybe it's just that if we cannot see huricanes comming, Bush could not be responsible of knowing it when he does nothing to prevent casualties.
