Only some people learn from monkey see monkey do. It is a valid method for some, but not everyone learns from that method. Monkey see monkey do results in users complaining about changing user interfaces. See windows 8 for examples.

The computer isn't learning from experience it is being programmed by a different method. basically they are copying other drivers reactions to a set of obstacles so that the programmers don't have to create all those rules themselves.

Think of it this way instead of manually programming a replacement robot arm on an assembly line they are copying the program code over directly to save time. This isn't a bad thing. However it is far from learning.

Or maybe the fact that there are more scientists publishing today than there were 20 years ago.

The article not the study, completely ignores one fact. The world population has tripled in 70 years. More papers being published is a result of more people existing. While not the sole reason, it is something to remember.

Ah but you can get WiFi enabled ones, that can adjust color/light levels in conjunction with whatever TV show is on.

Show me one president in the last 10 that hasn't been caught in a lie. Maybe carter.

Smart phones are tapering out faster but they went through a similar effect. the processor and gpu of the original iPhone vs any smart phone now for example.

Name one thing the A-10 can't do in support of ground troops the F-35 can? The A-10 can loiter longer, fly lower, stay on target longer. It can fly from forward unimproved airstrips. It has longer range. It can carry far greater number of missiles and bombs.

So just where is the A-10 deficient in support of ground troops? The F-35 is an expensive fast moving, carries less weapons, can only stay on target for a limited time. The only plane better than the A-10 is the AC-135, and the AC-135 isn't as effective against heavy armor.

The a-10 was designed in the 70's. Tens of millions maybe. Another hundred million to refab parts from non existent blueprints 30 years later. Hardly billions. And far far less than its replcent at $500 billion for the f-35.

What gets me is they could design a new a-10 for 30-50 million a plane. They won't as the chair force goes for faster only.

So move to china. you can get all the smog you want since you think trying to make clean air is irresponsible.

That's the thing you can theorize all you want. but some day you actually have to try it. Go back and look at the "scientists" who said the LHC would create a black hole that would consume the planet.

Each of those people equals the "irresponsible" part of your equation.

Because the initial outbreak no one will admit that they are zombies and so won't be prepared and instead panic stupidly.

Because most people panic first and then act.

That was my thought. In world war Z the governor tells everyone to head to Canada without proper planning and then moves the entire Armed forces to California and defends the west coast only.

If the government tells people to head for the hills the safest place will be a high rise tower that you empty and block the lower levels on. My personal favorite would be a 2-3 story warehouse so you can store equipment inside. Warehouses have limited stairs to make securing the upper levels easier.

Because it was bush that set the terms for the Iraq pull out of newly independent and soverigen country of Iraq.

Obama wasn't stupid enough to force an issue where if he left troops in Iraq against the sovereign wishes of Iraq those troops would be subjected to Iraq and international war crime laws.

Of course republicans don't care about such issues as sovereign countries having rights too.

I was using my samsung Smart tv for youtube, as Roku didn't have a youtube. That changed ~6 months ago so I started to use both. Then Samsung tried to insert ads into my playback , so I disconnected the TV from the network.

What will it take for companies to learn if you don't want to provide support for 10 years don't design a device that requires your constant support for 10 years?

Even more so when you think no one else had a good reason to use nukes againist an enemy. Even today the estimates for bringing an end to world war two wa hundreds of thousands of lives, and another 1-2 years of fighting. Unlike Germany fire bombing Japanese cities wasn't having the desired effect.

No wars since then have been that desperate for those with nukes. Which is the only reason why north Korea is troubling. North Korea or Iran will feel desperate enough to use them.

He needs to bribe me to sell my FireWire/usb ide hard drive enclosure.

I accept cash. Plug the hard drive in, turn it on and plug into any USB port. The USB will. Be slow but faster and cheaper than any other method.

So I accept beer, scotch, and redeaded women.
