There's a lot of evidence we won't. We would have found it by now if someone has discovered it in the future.

If the autonomous car is reliable there should be no need for a drivers' license, for the same reason I wouldn't be required to have one if driven by a chauffeur.

They might. Imagine a machine that can be used to eliminate whatever "enemy" you want, but also takes the blame too.

I think garbage collection is a library issue, not something that should be in the core language by default.

I'd like to see runtime reflection with the proviso that it's static. It's my thinking that reflection should be compile-time for a compiled language.

Just don't go into Paris until you've picked your passengers up.

The big problem with music on MP3s and CDs isn't the sample rate, or even the bits used to sample. To sell CDs and MP3s the recording is made as loud as possible and this causes distortion in the sample values. There's no point having 16-bits or 24-bits if the recording doesn't make good use of the full range of values.

Not sure that counts as free. It's $175 ($100 to rent) on Amazon. Although still a lot cheaper than a BS.

I've probably got mine set up for an orderly shutdown, but it's easier for me to use my keyboard and mouse, instead of reaching under my desk for my system's power button. I'm thinking that turning it on from the computer case is kinda daft too. I should really just use the keyboard.

Doubtful. If a book contains the equations, 1 + 1 = 2, and 1 + 1 = 3, how does it know the first and not the second equation?

I especially like that "Conservapedia proven right" is one of the most popular articles.

It's more like 1 in 15. At least according to this article.

I picked that up too. Had lots of fun playing it when it first came out. I'm currently having fun with DK2, which I also picked up from GOG. A quick warning about Dungeon Keeper Mobile: It's pure EA with a DK polish.

I'm currently running a WD Green with an old Samsung SSD 830 as cache. I get the occasional pause if a game loads in something that isn't on the SSD. Overall though it's very fast with that combination and seek times, in particular, aren't an issue except for the first time you play a new game. A WD Black with an SSD as cache should be even better.

My statistical insignificant experience with HDDs: WD: Old WD Caviar died, but the replacement lasted years. Two WD Greens still working. IBM (Now Hitachi): Had one die, two others still work. Samsung: Both still working. Seagate: Never had any.

I avoid backlit keyboards. They're invariably poorly designed for a touch-typist. I'm currently using the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop.
