Comment Re:No, it'll just be an OPTION (Score 1) 650

Well, hoping that there will be some open source systems with the ability to make some changes via a legally accessed API with access to some features without compromising safety, perhaps a system could be built that will allow for faster travel and scan for cops ahead and slow down when one is detected. Yea, wishful thinking on my part, for sure, but I like to pretend we live in a less controlled society. Another thought is that by the time we have self driving cars as the norm, all of them will be equipped with fairly precise GPS modules mandated by law and constantly recording our speeds and our bank accounts will just be auto deducted whenever we violate speed laws and we'd have to go to court and fight it to get our money returned. Those days are coming!

No, they should write it in VB. It may give distant peoples a headache when they see it and cause the to bicker among each other of why it even exists but at least they'll be able to decipher it without actually knowing the language or even knowing how to read at all.

Honestly, based on Google's recent patents for self driving cars and the fact that they're making such a statement makes me seriously wonder if they haven't figured something out that we just aren't aware of yet. It's as if they're giving the world clues that something huge is coming and they know it. The first set of patents made me raise an eyebrow but now, with this following, I'm really starting to go beyond speculation and into a wonderment of how I'm going to be able to somehow capitalize on what may be coming.

How about a new federal "Hire only Legal American Citizenry" act. Get rid of all the HX visas. This would at least help our own people in the states. I don't really care if some Indian from Mumbai can't come over here and take an American's job from them. I do care if they can, however. It's time we start taking care of our own by making it happen, one way or another. It would appear the only way is to force it down bis biz's throats. They can afford it so let's make 'em. Perhaps, at the same time, we need a company executive compensation cap act as well. That way, all those millions upon millions of dollars can then be used to hire American's at decent livable wages instead of putting all the money into one family's (or one Wo/Man's) pocket.

Here Here. Still haven't bought SC2 and no plans to purchase DIII. I was invited to the DIII beta test and didn't. I will refuse to support such models in any way I can, including the withholding of my money. I was just playing Diablo (the original) yesterday and am still content with sticking to it. It's funny to go online though and find I'm the only one there. Am I the only D1 player left?

Comment Illegal Activity on the part of pirate pay? (Score 1) 601

Isn't attacking a computer system illegal? I know they're based in Russia but since corporations here in the US are considered "individuals" as the law goes, and since they are funding this illegal activity, wouldn't they then be considered accomplices and therefore be eligible for prosecution under US laws? Since the board of directors and officers of the company represent the company, shouldn't it be all of them that end up in prison or breaking federal computer crime laws?

I'm amazed that no one here has brought up the fact that the buildings were purposely demolished and that the planes had absolutely nothing to do with the buildings doing a complete demolition style free fall with visible synchronized explosions coming from various parts of the buildings and, after the buildings came down, visible diagonal cut marks on steel beams. The amount of evidence is overwhelming and any more evidence that could have been found by investigative teams were kept away by federal agents until all the evidence was literally covered up by dump trucks full of dirt. Absolutely amazing that this wasn't brought further into the light of the American public.

Well that depends on if the firm these lawyers work for is heavily employed by large corporations who happen to be financing the judge's and DA's (and other fat/happy politicians) with the majority of their campaign contributions, if not under the table brief cases. That's what most of these things come down to now a days. The proof is right there in between the lines of every important case out there.
