I think it shows he's misguided.
If you did a quick Google search on my name, you'd find much the same thing.
In spite of the fact that I'm not the Australian television personality with whom I share my name.
Wrong != stupid.
Maybe the AI found a friend.
Sorry to disappoint you, but everybody knows that Slashdot has exactly 8 actual users, 3,564,372 sockpuppet accounts, and an AI at the U of Illinois Champaign/Urbana that makes all of the AC posts as a way to blow off steam after dealing with grad students all day.
Since I live in a city with decent mass transit, I don't own a car in the present, nor do I especially want or need to.
I also note that some cities, such as Copenhagen, have had self-driving subway trains for years.
That is why the U.S.A. has not declared any war in 50 years, so they can play word games and get around the geneva convention.
The only wars that the U.S.A has been declaring are against concepts: war, terrorist, etc.
See? The dangers from ACs trying to spread pernicious truths such as these is exactly why we need everyone's communications tapped at all times!
That would be just peachy if votes for particular candidates/parties actually counted for something.
It really amazes me that someone who appears to be as intelligent as you do cannot see the state-within-a-state that has grown up in the US since the Second World War. Just as Eisenhower warned it would.
No, they just invade and annex big chunks of their neighbours.
I'm no fanboi, but I keep finding myself buying Samsung devices for the same reasons as the AC. Although, so far, I've not tried rooting any of them.
I remind everyone that the Chinese Communist Party is made up of the smartest people in China.
I remind everyone that the CCP is also made up of people who happen to have the right connections, or be born into the right families.
Firstly, China isn't blocking everything in the world. They are blocking undesirable content into their own country that a majority of the Chinese public agrees should be blocked because their government tells them it should be, and they don't get to hear any opposing views on the matter.
TFTFY.
Do you think I just fell off a yùtóu wagon?
I've been to China numerous times, have many friends from and in China, am married to a Chinese, and you are so full of it I'm looking for my waders.
This is *all* about maintaining order, under control of the CCP, by blocking (or at least slowing down) the ingress of as many "disruptive" ideas as possible.
Meanwhile, within China, it's common knowledge that many of the country's current social ills stem from the Cultural Revolution and its attempts at erasing this 5000 years of history of which you speak as though it were really a presence. It's common knowledge within the CCP as well--I know this because I've discussed it with Party members.
So please spare us the "preservation of our culture" spiel--it doesn't wash.
I see some mod's sarcasm detector was out of order...
According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
