Robots don't "evolve". They are clearly programmed (designed) that way. The fact that the designers aren't clever enough to realize the final outcome of their complex programming doesn't change the fact that they were programmed that way.
Unless the new traits came from copying errors or they have a program generator hooked up to/dev/random, this is not "evolution", by any reasonably scientific definition of the term.
If they actually WERE serious about competing, they would make TV easy to watch on the viewer's terms. But they fight every attempt of that happening by continuously putting blocks between the customer and the shows.
DirecTV ALREADY IS offering an On Demand service to its subscribers. That service has been around for years, and Netflix didn't start it. Just that Netflix is the first that I know of that provided the service without being the community cable company.
You won't find almost anyone's password in a rainbow table. That's not how rainbow tables work. They work by being the simplest way to generate the same hash as the actual password. So, the answer is also that it doesn't matter how complicated your password is, it will be cracked by the rainbow table even though what they crack it with isn't your password.
A company I used to work for was next door to a lawyer and all her drives showed up on our phones using Bluetooth (it was annoying when trying to reconnect your headset because you had to scroll past her 7 drives).
I told her about it and she didn't care! I told her that anyone could read her clients' confidential documents. She told me that she would sue them...<facepalm>
I run Windows 7 on my Atom-based eeePC 900 (HD) and it runs great. Just pop a 2GB chip in there first. It's less than 5% slower than XP on that machine.
You've obviously never tried a Ubuntu upgrade. You can't upgrade Ubuntu for any amount of money, every time I've tried it it has crashed. Meanwhile, I upgraded a single machine from Windows 3.0->3.1->3.11->95->95->98->ME (restored immediately to 98)->XP. It continued to work at every step and actually had a few features that my clean installs didn't have.
On consoles, you have to pay a $30 tax per game to the console manufacturer. Don't believe me? Then why are new games for PC $29.99 and for console $59.99? That adds up quickly as a high cost for free software. (Not to mention on my PC with an $80 video card, I get 1080p.)
This isn't seizing mooo.com with 86,000 bystanders. These botnets have algorithms which predict the next 1000 domain names they will try. By calculating ahead and seizing them all, the FBI can then control the botnet and issue commands to clean all the infected computers.
Since everything is well-specified, this is EXACTLY what the government should be doing, and how they should be doing it. Bravo! (For once)
You have to do 10X the CGI compositing, though. That's probably why they are going to 48 instead of 60. Doubling the CGI budget is already very expensive.
Somebody mentioned (DC comics) The Flash. How come he doesn't burn up from the heat of air resistance?
The explanation is that the Speed Force (an extradimensional force that these characters somehow tap into) causes an aura to appear around them as they are running, protecting them from friction and minor harm.
Shouldn't everyone be buying Sony products at various retailers, opening all the packaging, and then returning the complete items? This would cost Sony and their retailers a great deal of money. This erases profits on Sony merchandise and causes triggers on return rates which get Sony products booted from retailers.
I mean, if you are going to do something, at least make it effective.

I think they are hoping that half of Al Qaeda blends into the general population and tries to hide. The best war is the one you never have to fight.

DirecTV already does OnDemand through the internet.
Techdirt just found that 96% of awards in business vs consumer arbitration go to the business. Still stand by your statement?

Actually, it appears that the Netflix client was fixed somehow. Now, if you just ignore it a couple times, you can watch a movie...
Mine doesn't work that way. It keeps popping up in the way until I sign in. I can't make it go away.

Well, actually you could in XP Mode...

Vista WON'T run on it, as it slows it to a crawl.

I went to Fry's this weekend and asked the guys at the desk for hand sanitizer when I realized that I had accidentally touched a Sony product.

Xboxes are severely hacked. How many customers has Microsoft sued? Zero.
Wiis have a homebrew channel. How many Wii users are kicked off the network or sued?
Everyone in the Marvel Universe gets their cool stuff from him, even Tony Stark...
And what about Victor Von Doom/Dr Doom?
Based on my experience this morning, they may have done that...
And yet, most people say they hate those darn word problems...
You are probably seeing the following differences:
Obama is the Queen's grandson?
