What challenge? As many others have pointed out, the *unedited and unbiased* data directly shows that the impact of human CO2 is insignificant in relation to other factors. Embracing dogma and a carefully edited credo is a sign of religion, not science.

I see another High Priest of Climate Religion is calling anathema to their dogma.

Thanks for that clarification since I read 'game controller' and start thinking 'WTF, *another* console??' Still, they shouldn't delay a rollout because of that.

This could be a great way to prep the public for a reveal; it's boiling the frog slowly.

What makes me nuts about the climate changers is that they seem to believe that humans have more impact than the sun and other natural events and then have built a de facto religion around it. It's another example of scientific dogma where anyone who dares to challenge them becomes something 'other' and put on worldwide notice that they should be shunned. The other thing that makes me nuts is that they use the word 'denier;' it's offensive since the subtle equation is the Holocaust and, as a result, it discourages critical thinking and intellectual honesty for everyone. That's how cults operate, not how scientists should be pursuing science.

Seriously, how about a USB keyboard and mouse option? It sure would get the thing to market a whole lot faster.

All you need is a hacker to drive these cars into each other and with no manual backup disengagement there's no way to mitigate a tragedy.

Didn't Arthur C. Clarke write about this - like right before the Monolith ignited Jupiter? ;)

Yes, the Internet is 'essential infrastructure' since most food, gas, and supplies are based on the 'Just In Time' inventory model. No Internet and no orders are placed to fit that model and it all grinds to a halt; this is one of the reasons even a minor Carrington Event would kill off a metric crap ton of people after 3 days.

Equally so the Internet since most food, gas, and supplies are based on the 'Just In Time' inventory model. No Internet and no orders are placed to fit that model and it all grinds to a halt.

"You disagree with a law doesn't give you a moral right to break it." Civil Rights would have died a quiet death if this was true; we have an obligation to ignore or break immoral laws, unjust legislation, and government oppression and over reach and we should do so through peaceful means until that option is untenable and the moral requirment to invoke the 2nd Amendment comes to play.

I'm thinking a MUCH earlier and incompatible version of ADA.

Use a computer set aside for the purpose - and have the ability to do a shock wipe once the door kickers show up.

In an era where segments of the population would refuse to take The Chip for religious or political reasons, they would have no choice but to turn to something like Dark Market to conduct daily commerce, find work, and otherwise function on a barter system.

Combine ADA, Floppy Disks, and Mainframes with the usual SCI 'air gap' and that sucker isn't going to be breached anytime soon.
