"That doesn't mean those jobs wont be replaced by automation... pretending otherwise is just sticking ones head in the sand"
Unfortunately, you are probably right. The technological jump in the last 3-4 decades is pretty impressive...
like 12.04, 14.04, 16.04 (what I'm using on some laptops/desktops), dunno what the next 18.04 will be named, but Horny Human would be kinda cool.

"So can one with a human driver. They do it every day all over the world with excellent results. Nothing wrong with letting the computer do it but let's not pretend humans can't handle the task."
While working at a Coke bottling plant as a student job, one of their drivers would backup his truck (2 45-footers on it) in one move. in 1988 I'm pretty sure he didn't have any electronic assistance, and yet everytime he would dock perfectly, maybe an inch or so between the dock and the second trailer.
Back when I was doing tech support for an ISP, people would complain about the 5MB mailbox limit. My answer was you don't use the postal service when you move houses.
So basically about the same as an i3... nice price. For browsing and everyday use, plenty enough.
Leaving 100$ more for the GPU, which will make a big difference in games.
Actually, they do (or did, future will tell us).
Apple ][ series (6502) to MAC (68k) compatibility was achieved via an add-on card on some models. 68k to PPC was via an emulation layer. MacOS classic to OS X was done with emulation (my gigabit G4 Powermac did that pretty well actually, and if memory serves it was called CLASSIC, or do it with fat binaries.
Starting with 10.4.11 there were universal binaries that could run on either PPC or x86, or Rosetta could handle them via emulation (up to 10.5.8 IIRC). So they can pull off another architecture change and retain compatibility until vendors come up with updated software.
Kinda fascinating that a Visicalc file could be transfered from a 5.25 floppy from late '70s early 80s all the way to the latest MAC, while Windows running on X64 can't even handle a 16-bit installer without external support...
IMHO what Intel needs to do is ditch anything before P6 in their architecture. What ran on a 66Mhz 486 or 233 Pentium can be done easily with emulation on newer machines.
Rogers?
They might not find any so we'll be left alone... Joking aside, they might have something akin to a Prime Directive, and we're not advanced enough in technology to be worth contacting, or not civilized enough (we're still trying to extinct ourselves)
No, seriously, what's different about 45-year old women? Sorry, but sounds chauvinistic to me.
Wow. Kinda harsh, I like you
I'm just not attracted as much to white women, but if I meet the right person I won't even care about skin color or hair color or anything else.
Sure, even if I prefer some types, I wouldn't kick one out of bed because of eye or hair color...
"it's possible to just not like anything but light skin, but in practice it's almost always just racism."
Not true. I'm caucasian and mostly date black women, asians and latinas. I don't care much for white girls. Does that make me racist?
" if it's just skin colour, that's terrible."
Huh? How is it different than hair or eye color?
Function reject.
