If your ISP starts degrading services that you want to use then you should switch to a different ISP. If they all work together to block,say Google, then they are probably violating anti-trust laws. The ISPs know they will lose customers if they do this -- therefore they won't do it.
I reserve the right to change my mind on Net Neutrality if the ISPs actually start behaving in a way that requires it. Currently, it is a solution without a problem.
On the slight chance that you are not a native Earthling I would like to express my desire to hitch a ride off this planet sometime in the next few decades. Just give me a few moments warning so I can grab my towel.
That is why I believe the speed of light is a real limit to how fast you can travel through space. If FTL travel were possible then the entire universe would be overrun by self-replicating FTL entities. Light speed enforces a locality to events (or is it that locality enforces a speed of light?)
No. They are being encouraged to resign so that their services will be available to convert individuals with lots of money into individuals with lots of mone and even more power.
What if you stop by a bar to have a drink and someone who does not like alcohol takes your picture and posts it to an anti-alcohol group and they start pestering you about drinking alcohol. Now insert any other activity of which you are not ashamed, but which someone else might not like you doing.
Someone making $20/hr cannot (should not?) afford a $200k home. $20/hr translates to approximately $40k/year.
Using the mortgate calculator at http://www.mortgage-calc.com/mortgage/howmuchaffor d.html: A 30 year mortgate on a $200k house with 0% down at 6% interest requires $1200/month payment and $51k annual salary (and that does not include property tax or other expensese).
To be fair, Lucas used to tell fans that he would make more Star Wars movies when he needed more money. At least that is what I used to hear before the Special Edition movies were released. I think he flubbed the prequels on purpose just so he wouldn't have such a rabid group pestering him all of the time. He knew they would still make swimming pools and swimming pools of cash, and the little extra they would make as great movies would not be worth becoming an even greater living legend to people for whom he could barely hide his distain.
It's funny how AI is a moving target. Once we are able to reduce, explain, and understand how some aspect of AI works, many people no longer consider it AI.
I do not remember any proposals for large government programs in the movie.
I do remember him talking about CA passing CO2 emission legislation and the American automakers suing the state over it. Technically, that is more reporting and less proposing.
Perhaps. I do not remember any solutions being presented in "An Inconvienent Truth" -- just data supporting human-caused global warming -- and a story about his father quitting tobacco farming after Gore's sister died of lung cancer.
Do you disbelieve everything produced by the scientific community or do you do a tremendous amount of independent research? I'm guessing the former since it involves more slack.
Gore also includes a Wooly Mammoth in the pictures of animals that have gone extinct due to human action. Granted there are some theories that early man drove them to extinction 10,000 years ago, but I found its inclusion in that set odd.
CO2 and temperature is correlation backed by theory. I am not a climatologist, but I do put strong trust in today's peer-review scientific process. I pointed out the documentary as a good starting point for sources of data to study. Maybe it is all wrong. There is a part of me that strongly agrees with the guy at XKCD.
Go watch Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". He presents data gathered by scientists that use ice core samples to infer temperature and CO2 cycles over the last 650,000 years. The data as he presents it is pretty compelling. If you choose, you can then do more research on your own to determine the veracity of that data, but it will help answer many of the questions you pose.
How strong is your will to resist biochemical urges? Can you resist the biological urge to breathe? For how long? I have heard of some people who can hold their breathe until they lose consciousness and then their unconscious will, no longer being constrained by their conscious will, forces them to breathe. I can't do that though. Can you?

And it has absolutely nothing to do with $10 tickets at the theater.
Oh wait, that was konabikes.co.uk.
nevermind...
konabikes.com looks like the UK site for the real company.
Ugh... I've never even considered that... An entire server farm turned zombie...
Microsoft has a product called Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003.

As long as yelling at someone in public is legal, then it is the other guy's problem too.

Still waiting for the open source desktop fab machine that can make a copy of itself. That is the system that will end up on everybody's desk.

This is just a cover for the UFO story posted on slashdot the other day.
I am glad you posted this again. I hadn't read any of the last posts and found it very interesting.
Although I can't believe you patented PD controllers for rag dolls.
Fair enough.

And don't squeeze the lime too much or the drink will be bitter.
That's nothing! The first company I worked for deducted the company matched portion of the offered retirement account from the bonus checks.
