I'd say the test is obsolete. It's not measuring the advances in AI, but the involution of humans. Have you looked at Facebook status messages?

Music is art, art is propaganda (for what concerns public expression, private expression is not on wikipedia), propaganda is meant to influence people.
The study is flawed but not because of art itself.

Yes, very fun. Just multiply all the fun you have managing your pc, smart tv, cellphone, by 1000.

"Oops! it appears your credit is insufficient to purchase your monthly subscription to ExoHand Manager 2045. All movement is inhibited for safety reasons except swiping until the situation is corrected. Have a nice day!"

Well it basically depends on how much apart from each other his fucking days are.

Troll is the mod for the comment that you dislike which is neither flamebait nor offtopic, duh.

Back to topic, if a troll obeys a call for arms, it is an impure trollable troll that needs his troll card revoked.

You mean that a well maintained citroen 2cv or a fiat 500 pollute more than a suv because of their no-electronics tech? The measure is not pollutants per gallon of fuel, but pollutants per mile, after all. Someone should do the math, under real conditions (because there are lies, damned lies and spec sheets).

I have no electronics in my car (mechanical distributor, carburetors, and the car radio is disconnected). But I am not averse to it, as long as it is documented, and replaceable. This is not going to happen because the point of electronics in the car is control, not performance or pollution.

Don't worry, good guys to the rescue.

The NSA: "Thanks to the poor isolation from the closed source modem in your phone, we accidentally all your memory"
You: you accidentally WHAT?
The NSA: "all your memory".

> Things like graphics drivers, for example, are often only available for Android because they link against Android's libc
I guess legal, or maybe technical, obstacles don't allow bundling Android's libc and using it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent tricks?

Is it a fact that they said "use bitlocker instead, it's safe"?
If it is, your BS detector should be blaring at full volume.

What you call speculation is only the most obvious explanation. It might not be the correct one, and the bloggers you refer to could all be al qaeda operatives on russian mafia hardware, but it still is the most obvious explanation, with a string of documented precedents. So you should come up with some other interpretation, or your doubt is not very productive, IMHO.

No, you have to stay in your bubble and swear at those human drivers and check yahoo email with android phone to get ahead in your insane work schedule designed to keep other people unemployed so they can lower your salary. With public transport you might have conversations with real people and those usually lead to some truth. Stay in your bubble.

After those shades of grey books, masochism is considered acceptable.

This seems to me the wrong level for software diversity, too low. A bug in the source will be executed in all variants (think sql injection), while an exploit that depends on particular bytes in particular locations can already be made difficult by ASLR.

What about having higher level protocols that the software of a given category must adhere to, and various programs that treat data according to those protocols? You know, like that internet thing before the prevalence of web2.0 megasites, or like posix. Then every piece of malware cannot do universal damage and every botnet has to deal with a different host configuration.

No.

Next question?

No.

IIRC in japanese sudden unexpected death is pronounced "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuk", which sounds indeed a bit like four.

Did you know that 17 is bad luck around here for the same reason? 17, in latin numerals XVII, anagram of VIXI, which means "I lived", therefore "I am dead".
