if you were copied... you and your copy would diverge, if one of you died... the other would still be around... but you would not survive in the other. one day you were walking around, you get hit by a truck, now you are gone... it wouldnt be one day you are walking around and get hit by a truck and now you are in the other body with the new memories and the old memories. the copy and you are two entirely different entities with the same memory up to a certain point.

the idea of consciousness is the main problem with simply printing humans with a specific memory. if you copy someone with their current memory... the copy is now a new person, with his own actions. the main body and the new body have completely separate life after creation. if the original dies, the new one carries on. the idea of copying someone to teleport them is unsolvable before we figure out how to deal with consciousness, because that isnt 'me' on the other side, that is someone else who looks like me and has my memory.

i can see it now. cars made out of bamboo instead of plastic and metal. http://www.cartell.ie/car_chec...

i live in houston. ive almost never seen someone get pulled over for speeding unless they were swerving through traffic and someone called it in. if you go up or down 45 and you go through ennis, you get pulled over for going more than 65. they have 4 cops out there radaring 24-7.

gloves are undoubtedly safer when used right... the thing is that generally speaking, people who dont use gloves dont wash their hands, and people who do use gloves dont replace the gloves after touching a specific food group.

between the two though, the people who dont replace gloves are not as bad as those who dont wash their hands

any dumbass can drive a car without speeding. the issue is that noone wants to because driving the speed limit is boring and takes too long.

driverless cars dont care. they drive the speed limit. if the laws eventually change to where you dont need an attentive person in the drivers seat, we will be able to play video games to make driving less boring.

they pull over great drivers for going 15 over on a highway and leave the assholes who dont know how the fuck to drive safely. driving 85 on a 2lane highway when noone is even there is perfectly safe. a testament to this would be that several highways in texas are starting to increase their speed limits every year. i can tell you one thing... people are not becoming better drivers.

you dont understand.. in the US, this is how most of the smaller towns get their money. they pay a single patrol car to sit on their section of highway all day and pull people over for speeding. a speeding ticket in the us is up to 300$ in some places. noone ever gets pulled over for speeding in large cities because it is a waste of time. the whole speeding ticket system is a scam that has absolutely nothing to do with safety.(at least on highways).

yes, but civil matters are totally ignorable if not for the government support. if the government says 'fuck civil matters', there wont be anyone to punish those who don't pay their dues.

the people who buy it generally buy it because the bundle costs less with cable than it does without, or they are dumbasses who dont realize how to watch their shows online.

4 years from now, i will have google fiber for 70$ a month with a gigabit connection... and theres nothing any of the cable companies can do about it.

who gives a f*k? cable television is something noone cares about... and anyone who does is a dumbass... this is the age of the internet.

you obviously dont live in a place with many choices. i mentioned large cities because they generally have more choices of internet providers. in houston, you can get similar speeds with 5 different companies, so comcast is forced to not cap data.

but again, this depends entirely on the rate at which google fiber expands. literally as soon as fiber comes to a comcast city/town, it is game over because everyone will switch. i predict 20 years before the entire US is on fiber of some kind(at google fiber price e.g. ATT austin tx)

i would disagree, i say it would be a good time to short their stock because comcast is going to start losing customers to google every time google rolls out a new fiber city
