Brianna Wu just realized that you can make it to the highest office in the land just by being a self-promoting internet troll and she wants to get in on that action.
Here's a tip. men also respond better when you take their concerns seriously
Men's concerns:
1) football
2) bacon
3) a warm place to shit
4) internet porn
I'm good, thanks. I don't need anyone to take my "concerns" seriously. Now excuse me because I have to get back to the Titans-Jaguars game. The commercial's about to end.
I don't know about that. I could be mistaken since I pay more attention to your very funny posts than to your political posts, but if I recall correctly you've talked about Bush quite a bit THIS YEAR. After 8 years of Obama, you're still blaming Bush. So people who like that game can blame Obama for another 8 years.
I blamed Bush until January of '09. Then I blamed Obama until 2010. Then I blamed the GOP. That brings us up to date.
Shifting the blame to his successor is a doubling-down on dishonesty and denial.
You have a few more weeks to use that. Then the whole shooting match is on Trump and the GOP. No more scapegoats.
Remember, Trump could reverse this policy with the stroke of a Tweet if he wanted to. It will be interesting to see if his "extreme vetting" includes social media.
I like the justification of "you need to be spending time with family"... as if pulling a gaming service offline is going to make anti-social gamers decide to go to their number 2 option of hanging out with family...
When Steam goes down, gamers are more likely to kill their family than spend time with them. You can look it up.
Arizona politicians are going to have massive egg on their faces if somebody gets seriously hurt or killed from the experiments.
Arizona? They'll be fine with it as long as it's not a white person or fetus who gets killed. If it's some 80 year-old retiree from Chicago, there will be great screaming and gnashing of teeth for about five minutes, until the coroner shows they actually died in 2003 and it's was just mummified remains that were run over.
If the goal of the regulation was to chase away people who are doing cool stuff, this regulation worked.
Since Uber is currently losing $700 million per quarter, and they just backed out of their Chinese investment which means the loss is probably more like $1.2 billion per quarter, I don't think we'll have Uber around to worry about much longer.
The real reason they didn't want to register their cars in California (they'll still have to register them in Arizona, by the way), is that they would be required to report any accidents they were involved in to the state, and they didn't want the public to find out how shitty their robot cars really are.
You can see the autopilot stopping for pedestrians jogging by the side of the road, for example, as well as stopping at red lights and stop signs.
I wonder about red lights. Here in Houston (Midtown) where there is light rail and all sorts of weird one-way streets and very confusing signals. There's a busy intersection near me that a separate signal light for every lane, and one lane has an odd non-standard pale skinny green arrow that seems to change color on no set schedule. And one lane has light rail on the street, but cars can drive there too. It's pretty dangerous to be a pedestrian in parts of Houston.
At least there are practically no bike lanes in Houston for autopilots to worry about.
Rather Twitter than CNN or any of the other news propaganda media. The news media does not like Twitter any more unless they are using it for their news stories. Donald Trump, was elected by the people and is telling the people directly what he plans on doing. News media does not like it good!
Do you hear how moronic you sound? I've been meaning to ask one of you big Trump guys whether you have any inkling of the rank stupidity that you display every time you say something.
Today, President Elect Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin both announced that they plan to expand their nuclear arsenals. Of course, Trump made his announcement on Twitter.
Most sensible people expect that self-driving cars will go significantly above the speed limit, because the reasons for limiting them to the speed limit (inability to look everywhere at once and see people pulling out of driveways, see kids about to run across the street unexpectedly, etc.) don't apply when you have a dozen cameras being monitored continuously by an AI, nor do most common human failings like inattentiveness, inability to properly assess speed of traction loss on curves, poor judgment of road conditions in general, etc.
Here is a video from a few days ago of a self-driving car running a red light. So, sadly, no. The belief that a machine which has been programmed by humans is now incapable of making mistakes is one that I'm surprised to hear from a Slashdot user.

You make an important point.
Uh-oh, I wouldn't want to do that, because men's rights activists are really scary.
I know they are fighting for the right to not have their anime video game characters be lesbian.
ding! ding! ding!
Oh, excuse me. I didn't realize you were an SJW fighting for men's rights.
Can we please have a telethon for pecosdave? I hate to hear a story like this on Christmas Eve.

I guess for some of you, "concept" is the best you can hope for.
My uncle works for the FBI and says that's not true.
Merry Christmas to you too, pal. And here's hoping for a brighter 2017, though hopefully not nuclear-weapon bright.

You just made the list.
Carrie Fisher is out of emergency and in stable condition, according to family.
Hopefully, that will get you on a watch list, at very least.
This is what gamers do when Steam goes down:

I'm not surprised that there hasn't been anything on Steam twitter about the outage. Steam_Support hasn't tweeted anything since July 14.
They're probably too busy testing Half-Life 3.

When you and I are the only ones in the room, yes.

Well, we know for sure which one is the top and which one is the bottom in that relationship.

Duck and cover, motherfuckers.

I think I saw something like that in the Smithsonian. Those were the diesel-powered computers that you had to crank to start, right?
I'm just joshing, of course. It's an honor to reply to someone who is the living embodiment of our digital history. Merry Christmas, emil.
