Sorry, but that is a textbook strawman fallacy.

You have asserted that someone here does not desire for there to be no victims to care for (effectively "no crime"), instead choosing to opt for purging offenders from society. In doing so you have attempted to make yourself appear a more moral character than the GP to whom you replied.

The hard truth is that there is no realistic solution to the root cause of these problems. Do you really think that if there were, we wouldn't be already doing that?

This thing is going to happen again and again. Data you put there isn't really yours anyway, no matter what the T&Cs say.

No wonder personal LAMP servers with Postfix/Dovecot are springing up everywhere again.

I would just like to point out that the AI required to drive a train that effectively requires no steering nor split-second decisions is completely different to what would be required to acceptably drive a car.

Well either that or we need to rethink how we measure brain activity.

After so many "Your next car" posts on Slashdot presenting anti-features like MS Windows, brain control or remote disabling systems, finally here's a story with a feature that might actually benefit being added to a car.

Well done.

My goodness, what has happened to Slashdot? Have the competent admins been replaced with morons?

Several lines of dialogue, usually in this order:
"Punch it"
"Let's hope we don't have another burn out"
"Would it help if I got out and pushed?"
"They told me they'd fixed it!"

I don't really have a single answer myself, but this is quite possibly the best /. poll in several months.

Heh, yeah I remember throwing a second I/O card into my 286, soldering up a couple of resistor ladders to the back of D-25 connectors and enjoying 8-bit stereo sound on the resultant 2 DACs plugged into LPT ports with different addresses. Oh yes.

You mean other than the fact they're a complete joke?

From the summary:
Recent research suggests that many believe we will stop using notes and coins altogether in the not-too-distant future

I am certain that research is correct. Just as it was correct 40 years ago.

Can I use it to line the inner surface of my telescope?

I vote Mos Eisley.

After all, where else would one find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy, outside of Washington that is...
