You're forgetting that even if we don't solve the lane marking problem, it'll be orders of magnitude cheaper to put down special markers on the road that AI can read perfectly, than it is to keep wasting millions of man-hours per day having to drive a car manually.

You're the first person I've heard that has spoken about giant speeds as a result of driving AI. You may be anon, but I think that's an awesome concept.

Funny and true!

That doesn't take into consideration that the manufacture can put all liability on the customer as a condition of purchase. Nor does it account for that the customer could be very rich and want to avoid 2 hour queues daily to get to work and back.

The comma should go *outside* the right quotation mark, not inside it.

You insensitive clod! I've just bought a 100 watt - 6000K colour temperature LED floodlight to emulate sunlight indoors. It looks amazing, and feels like the ceiling has been lifted off to let the sun in (but without the drawbacks that solution would otherwise offer).

How about Argon, or one of the other noble/inert gases?

Does xenon or argon suffer from that problem too?

You're absolutely right. We HAVE found a humane way, and nitrogen (or argon) asphyxiation is not just just painless, but also maybe even pleasant. Here is the proof (you only need to view the first 5 mins, but the whole 10 are fascinating):

I think the death penalty's quite barbaric, but if we must have it, then that is the way to go.

A few years ago I was exactly like you. Even now, I still very much agree with you in 'spirit', and perhaps in the VERY long term (1000-10000+ years) evolution may fix the 'bug' which stops your argument from making perfect sense.

This 'bug' is that blue light affects melatonin production (decreases it, so it's harder to get to sleep). This isn't something you can get around. Subjectively, it could also be said that orangey hues (even more red than incandescent!) look 'cosier' and are a nice contrast to the day's blue light. Due to the nature of qualia, that's almost impossible to disprove. Heck, even green and blue illumination is a nice change occasionally.

Yours though is the first comment I've read in my life that even goes in this direction though, so I think that's awesome in itself. You might be interested in my post at CandlePowerForums which tried to find out what colour temperature is subjectively closest to pure white: http://www.candlepowerforums.c...

"Bloated" as in so many different ways to do things that only the person who wrote the code can understand it. Too much redundancy basically.

Decent languages? Try D. C# is bloated too, but at least it offers managed memory and you can fall back to non-managed code at any stage.

I'd the this 'real language' to get rid of those god-awful headers and support ^ as exponentiation - something so commonly used. Less bloat would be nice too.

Except that it did work at some point, and then Slashdot cut it down arbitrarily. Also the number of characters (including html and link) is less than in your sig, so explain that.

Yeah that's a bug with Slashdot and not my fault. I tried ages ago several to edit the sig, and Slashdot always cut it off.

Anyway, I can see you're just trolling and don't really want to discuss things on their own merit so there we go.

Can you elaborate on that?
