Cattle population wouldn't survive without the help of humans at the current level. The population has exploded along with the humans. On the other hand the milk producing cows of today are the result of selective breeding and they produce milk more than is necessary, just to fulfill human needs. The cattle industry is a prime example of unsustainability. 40% of world food grain goes to feed the cattle.
I don't oppose meat eating, but we are eating it way too much. Meat is available 24/7 without much effort.
If this investigation goes all the way it means that there cannot be anonymous whistleblowing anymore (on american political/military practices). That would be another checkpoint towards absolute power of the inner circle. Next: only accredited anonymous sources are allowed to talk to the press and release leaks.
Other side of the story is that for example on the Somalian waters the international navy basically gives cover to illegal fishers and waste dumping passers-by. Lasers and other kinds of experimental weapons can also be tested to real live subjects (and later deployed back in the home countries). Of course piracy is a profitable business too, but the moral baseline here is really fluid.
Apparently the stars need producing to fulfill the needs of the modern audience. No wonder that no-one's watching because nothing happens for most of the time (or everything happens, but slooowly). We need more action and drama. The original problem stems from the position of the solar system in relation to the universe. For the sake of good entertainment either the Earth or the whole system should be moved to more exciting a place, maybe closer to the center of galaxy. BBC should be able to arrange that for the next season.
Sun's activity hasn't correlated with the global mean temperature in the last few dozen years. Before that it has correlated quite well. Sun is not the only factor. The urban heat island effect which the skeptics bring out a lot proves that too. We are able to generate extra energy and heat locally a lot more than Sun ever could. To create all of the thermal energy a lot of greenhouse gases have been let loose, and they add up to the warming.
Maunder minimum happened in the late 17th century. I think it's pretty obvious why they couldn't cope with the conditions back then. The baseline was already pretty undeveloped.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what Slashdot is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Chrome was identified as safari 534.10 on all OS's. The results seem to fluctuate a bit from run to run, from 10 to 1500 points (i did some of the tests two - three times). It seems I get different results each time the test is run.
There were Jews and Arabs living in the area long before it became the modern Israel. The problems today are the result of mass exodus and the (violent) expansion of Jewish settlements. The resistance and politics on either side has grown into a ultranationalistic psychotic fantasy. Nobody actually cared about the opinion of the people already living there when the borders were first drawn, so the first war was inevitable. Jewish nationalism was condemned by many a notable jew at the time.
It's sad how boths sides play politics exploiting their own people. Every death is used to promote selfish agenda, every military action is because of safety. Of course they don't own the people, but that's the convenient illusion to work with. We most probably end up to a single state and a similar struggle as in South Africa.
It's interesting how the logic of carefully crafted clearances can be misaligned by publishing the data. It's as if the system was too fragile to begin with. Once the chain of trust is breached it all falls apart, and we and up to bizarre situations like yours. The rules don't make sense and there is no backup. Everyone acts like before, but the reality has changed.
The reason why robots truly won't have human consciousness is that they lack the collective unconscious, which has been building up hundreds of thousands of years. It's not only about memory but how we perceive the reality once illusions of the human reality have been shattered.
The robots will be able to analyze the human input data and make an analysis, but ultimately the robots will have their own version of the collective unconscious and form their own gene patterns and lore.
Take for instance the concepts of realization and liberation. To what will the robot liberate themselves to? Will the concepts of death and birth play any role? Robots will never be human even though they will be able to make a complete simulation. Robots but will be something else once the technology allows to.
Once we master the control of the synapses we can create new realities and have borderless connections between individuals. Ultimately that's only another simulation (like the internet is now), but it will guide us towards sharing a single consciousness, multitude of sensations at the same exact moment.
In a way that's the level where the robotic minds are in the beginning, and by which we can expand our consciousness in new ways and to new platforms, feel new sensations and our way in the universe, expand in forms that are way beyond the restrictions set by the human body.
Even if the project wouldn't be realized in that extent the investment into the technology will pay back. The more we know the better. Why set the objectives too low? The gulf states are already focusing on the solar tech because oil wells are drying up, and nuclear power will be expensive too.
She's genuine and not flawless. A refreshing figure. It's not hard to understand why so much like her. If she makes an error she is forgiven. Her simple and pointy messages resonate without much effort and there's no need to understand deep and grand meanings.
I dont' really fear Palin, but the posse that would come along. That kind of ignorance is easy to exploit.

I read that you were locked in a client's building. I can confirm that at least your data is getting out .

True. I wish people would understand that war/scaremongering among politics is dangerous too.

Only during the ecstatic moments of a revolution the people are truly free.

More likely: 4chan tries to commit suicide. Attempt failed.
Hey people come on already C64 and ZX are just computers, not fucking altars. Oh wait....

Well, it says they will ship over 35 tablets. What I don't understand is why Atom will be shipped over 35 tablets instead of inside many more of them.
Besides the attack has probably been devised using an operating system originating from Finland!
The string theory is that cats like them, or not. I don't think the cats should be in a box though, that's just cruel.

EasyDNS seems to be condemned into oblivion by SlashMob. Free speech resulted in DDOS.
Without mistakes there isn't perfection.
If these guys had been shooting we'd call them BangGang. Nah, Automated Teller Machine Gang should do just fine.
