...who didn't see that happening? When you can't face your accuser anymore, someone who can see you had no ability to stop for the red light - people will just jam on the brakes, be damned the people behind them at the time. Sometimes, just going through the red light is the -least- dangerous option presented - something a red light camera doesn't distinguish.
Humans are social animals - we develop to our fullest potential when we are safe, secure, and can develop socially. When we are ignored, or left alone - the need to develop complex intelligence and social constructs fades, we revert to a more animal state. Children, especially babies, are closer to animals (in brain development and in-born skills, not in terms of our compassion for them) in this aspect than adults - as they have not yet formed the relationships with other beings as well as the means to express themselves fully. Only after they are cared for, taught and kept in part of a social circle are they able to develop more humanly.
...like what they'd do to NORMAL people when we spit in the face of the judge with our restitution... likely to happen? Nope. Sad, really. They really really deserve it.
People often miss steps when they work on academic papers - such as proofreading, and copy-editing. Remembering to cite sources can be a good reason in of itself to have the paper evaluated by a copy or proof-editor. Just like a novel released for commercial gain, you need to put your best effort forward to get accepted the FIRST time. Failing that, it looks like you can get the establishment to do that for you...assuming you want to be the laughing stock the first time around.
I think that is where the aforementioned '...and even individually-work camera backpacks to gather its footage...' would come in. You know, to get interior shots.
Perhaps this is too expensive to replace the portable restrooms in developing countries, but perhaps this could be used in larger-scale applications to help deal with the solid waste in waste treatment facilities? Instead of using harsher chemicals, we could augment it with more biological processes such as this to increase the efficiency of the treatment. Just a thought anyway.
...or the large players will gather and plot to harm the consumer. Adam Smith pretty much makes the case that you -need- to regulate some industries, since they will not do it themselves. The consumer cannot 'vote with their wallet' when all the players offer the same vile offerings, racing each other to the bottom.
With the public retreat from education, universities have to take their funding from more private sources. As a result, there is outside pressure to do research to favor these outside sources of funding, and you get a recipe for fraud and misconduct. Of course, the universities won't admit that they have had to make a deal with the devil to keep the doors open - and a large part of our (United States) political system is dead-set on taking us backward in terms of scientific progress to appease their less-than-sophisticated backers; and the problem is set to only get worse unless we as a people do something to stop it.
...every good project has to start somewhere - and it will be interesting to see what this kind of AI modeling will accomplish. Perhaps we can learn more about bees, and how to keep them doing their busy work throughout our world without mass murdering them....that being said... the day they crack the secrets of modelling the human female's brain... there is where the real money will be made.
Don't break his rhetoric with fact - he's on a roll. When you figure in the service and tech support you get that are usually extra from PC manufacturers, the charge for the OS built into the price, and the use of substandard parts - forcing immediate upgrades for out-of-the-box PCs, they are about on kilter with each other for average machines. Some products don't hold true with this though - their entry-level notebooks are a bit high for what you get.
Do work in professional audio/video or work in graphics, a Mac is the cheapest route to go.
"Faculty would not be required to use the free books"
With this one phrase, the entire idea is rendered useless. Why bother with free textbooks for college level classes if no college will offer classes that use them for coursework? The state will pay for the development, sure... like California can really pay for anything else...
The freedom of speech has always been limited by the exception of speech intended to solely cause harm or public backlash (ie - yelling 'Fire' in a crowded theater, calling in bomb threats). The US government is putting the case forward that the film was not an attempt to express a controversial viewpoint as much as something meant entirely to inflame and incense a volatile situation.
How this item made it onto Slashdot would probably be because the film was released online via YouTube, and the arrest of the filmmaker has clear online rights implications.
Maybe its a waste of time to explain this - but the freedom of speech has always been limited by the exception of speech intended to solely cause harm or public backlash (ie - yelling 'Fire' in a crowded theater, calling in bomb threats). The US government is putting the case forward that the film was not an attempt to express a controversial viewpoint as much as something meant to inflame and incense a volatile situation - made stronger by the fact that the producer hid the true content of the film from the cast and crew until it was released; by then, it was too late to revoke their appearances or exercise their legal rights.
Sadly, few of the ultra-religious see the difference between the two anymore. Not being with them means your against them, not agreeing with them means you disrespect and hate everything they hold dear - no tolerance, no compromise, no glittering future. Just the likely ending of our hands around their necks, and their hands around ours as the world as we know it fades to black.
...like anything else. People with certain back conditions find sitting for any length of time would probably relish the idea of being able to stand at work for the entire period - while others would find it akin to torture to stand for nine hours straight. Sitting puts pressure on the base of your spine, but standing on hard floors is pressure on your feet and knees. Six of one, half dozen of the other.
As long as your aren't FORCED to use a stand-up desk because someone figures they take up less space or that it prevents you from falling asleep at work; then they can be a good thing. If it's a half-baked idea at further cost effective micro-management bullshit - then count me out. And set that manager on fire. Now.
Nice...but no. You can't be forced to arbitrate in cases of criminal complaints - although you file the complaint, you are not the plaintiff in such cases. The government with its resources are - as they will NOT waive jurisprudence for arbitration when criminal law has been broken; it would be a case for instant appeal if they even tried it. It's the reason it's always the State of vs. Mr or Mrs Scumbag - and not Joe Blow vs. Mr or Mrs Scumbag. Companies can make you sign it - but the police aren't going to flinch if you immediately take your complaint from corporate security to them - they will still investigate and prosecute as the law dictates.
...no problem... I am -so- sure they didn't secure the thing with a passcode or some other sort of sophisticated two-factor method to prevent unauthorized access. Special channels set up only for certain kinds of communication, byte-code written specifically to talk to other highly specialized machinery running custom software... I mean, it's not like they are rocket scientists....oh...wait...
If they have ISRC numbers embedded in them - file a claim with Google and Youtube - providing them the numbers used. If they don't cooperate, then sue the commercial entity doing the flagging and name Google to get the content reinstated.
I so totally see someone applying for a job with some religious organization someday, and giving that as your reply-to e-mail address. Instant interview stopper.
As with some online rebate redemptions - the system will pick random submissions for additional verification in order to verify that the people applying for the rebate are those intended to get said rebate. Otherwise, they would have to hire dozens of temps to go through millions of submissions of physical articles they'd have to track and ultimately dispose of to handle the rebate. 24-72 hours for the former method, 6-8 weeks (if your lucky) for the other.
Perhaps they are - and your right - I don't spend millions on software, so I would not be a threat to Oracle in their 'pond' to use your term. The point I was trying to make is that I am not about to set out and use their product FOR FREE that would put me into bed with them. Their products are a mess, their customer service is awful (I've worked for a few Oracle customers - they ALWAYS wished they had never entered into the agreement to use their gear - ALWAYS), and their corporate culture is nasty.
Sure, I could rant about Microsoft too - but they aren't the authors of this software, or even a subject of this article - so why should I?

Perhaps Bill Adama had it right - give books to people, never lend them. Then you can't get upset if they never make it back to you.
