    is a very big deal to some people.. YEA, Parents!! They have to fork out the money!

    I wish I had points to give you.

  3. VW making electic cars? on Volkswagen To Spend Over $40 Billion on Electric and Self-Driving Cars (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    Good! It will get that diesel stench off the road!

  4. First they try to hook you, on MoviePass Reveals Annual Subscription For $6.95 a Month (slashfilm.com) · · Score: 1

    then when the "honeymoon" time is over they slam you. Almost all service providers use this trick. And I'm sick of it. Tell me what your going to charge me up front. Period!

  5. Re:Sure.... on Foreign Students Have Begun To Shun the United States (axios.com) · · Score: 2

    Sadly I write this..Those 4 people had one thing in common: Way back then, this country had a LOT more freedom, and scientists not only weren't restricted, they were encouraged! ...Today: We have restricted, corporation controlled via digital technology, and your being watched world! ...It makes me very sad that technology seems to be used mostly for bad things, instead of making people happier.

  6. Re:But, but Russians hackers... on Internal Kaspersky Investigation Says NSA Worker's Computer Was Infested with Malware (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    I was thinking along the same lines :( Nothing has changed. Just for speaking against the government, 4 people were shot dead in a crowd and 9 were wounded. Happened in the State of Ohio. President Nixon was in power then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  7. Falling Short of the Problem on Phone Companies Get New Tools To Block Spam Calls (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    This article does not clarify if it can handle the big problems of a computer sourced call. A computer call can generate about 20 numbers. You are limited to blocking 10... PHONES have to catch up with larger spam.

  8. Re: Jesus Christ... on ESR Sees Three Viable Alternatives To C (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 1

    Wow, Thanks Pseudonyum (62607).. I'm overwhelmed by the programing languages you know, and your knowledge!! Thanks for the advice on Python and compiler evaluations! I'm keeping this conversation. Maybe I can grow with your evaluations.

  9. In Geography class (1967) we had it written in our books that the deserts were getting bigger. Hmm.. Let's connect the dots. And if you are one of those "climate deniers" what did you loose if we implement cleaner devices and laws? Cleaner air, water, land, sea?? Gee. Sounds like a big loss (Sarcasm). Oh, I get it! $$$ Its the money $$$

  10. What about the root problem? on iPhone Encryption Hampers Investigation of Texas Shooter, Says FBI (chron.com) · · Score: 1

    I hate to say this but we have to modify metal detectors to sense that someone is carrying big weapons in any buildings. Maybe have door locks automatically trapping the suspect in the foyer. Have small windows so he can't shoot his way out. Even if you don't want to stop them. Keep the dam cameras on them at the very least! Then you will know their locations. Churches and Schools almost have to have sharp shooters above since the EN ARE EH can't keep their hands off of big weapon money! ..White House update: The rifle butt stock modification bill died in the White House because one side of the $$$ aisle would not vote no. $$$

  11. Re: Jesus Christ... on ESR Sees Three Viable Alternatives To C (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 1

    If I am understanding you correctly. You say that C is simpler and faster at certain tasks. I'm all for the older software and technology. If the Big Boys decide take the motherboards and change their software/firmware, rendering your saved data useless, then what? Going back to microfiche, data reel tape, should be preserved. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Many control freaks might knock that basket out of your hand. I would urge some brilliant mind to be able to print 3d chips.

  12. I'm going to look at the positive side of this on Crowdfunded 'PowerWatch' Runs on Body Heat, Never Needs Charging (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    IF this article is true. It's finally using science to do something positive for us. They could progress this heat energy to cell phones and more. It's very depressing and sickening to see science to track us, know what we are doing, hide extra charge on bills, and software to "look over our shoulders" to "ensure" we sweat hard every second at work, One example: You would not believe how sophisticated, they track truckers! Have respect for them and stay out of their way of their way! Today's truckers almost literally drive with a gun behind their heads. I have many other examples of negative software but I don't want to drone on.

  13. 25.000 acres for what?? on Bill Gates Just Bought 25,000 Acres in the Arizona Desert (kgw.com) · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be better for an array of solar steam generators or solar panels? At least if you are going to gobble up a huge chunk of one of the few the last places of open land we have., do something USEFUL with it!! Lower the amount of Carbon we put into the atmosphere. (Brainless people with money are dangerous!)

  14. I always thought in a perfect world that we would be merged with robots, working side by side, making anything we do; perfect.. I personally would want a human beside the robot in case it gets hacked or breaks. But alas, $$$ Money rules $$$!!

    Maybe we can create a new slap face organization. A monument to what they've done to your privacy.

  16. Even though AI is in infancy.. on Hawking: AI Could Be 'Worst Event in the History of Our Civilization' (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Would it hurt not to wait till the last minute, to work out the Gigantic task, of what to do with the non-workers. Other than let them die too? There are a LOT of creative people out there that can make life better to a task and to the eye.

  17. Will their Wall Street market crash too?

    If they sue all the Facts out of existence, and the "news". Tell me.. What will they have left to read? Scandal rags. ..Maybe they don't read? Maybe they can't read. Sock puppet analogy?

    Great answer! I got a good laugh out of it! Every now and then I see a witty person!

  22. There was a 1969 photo tape player on Youtube. The owner had a piece of the original photo tape and actually got it to work. Modern time version: By taking black ink and putting varying lines on a plastic reel to reel combo, you can achieve high quality digital or analog music. All is not lost to the innovator!! The sky is the limit :) Look on the sunny side of science.

    Its more!! It's 5 billion.. NO make it 10 billion. The NEWS doesn't care what they report!! Ratings! Ratings! Ratings! ( Robots will be counted as people.
