Not to mention that many XBox users are underage...

I'd like to see them. Or is only MY medical records that should be public?

You might not think of a janitor, truck driver, factory worker, or McDonalds worker as particularly intelligent. But all of their jobs depend on mental image processing of a sort that computers cannot yet do. In the past, displaced farm workers would move to another field which made use of their talents. What happens when computer image processing reaches the point where the average blue-collar worker has NO talents that a robot cannot do for cheaper? Humans have many extra costs - housing, transportation, food, bathrooms, breaks, social life, vacations, unpredictable emotions and behavior - that robots do not. Will fuzzy traits like "flexibility" be enough to compensate for all these?

I thought the conventional wisdom was that the Mozilla team made a mistake, unnecessarily losing time, by starting over from scratch. In other words there is not enough Netscape code in Firefox!

You probably mean people who could complement his experience. It is more normal, and less worthy, to surround yourself with people who continually give you compliments.

It's funny that you married a computer engineer
It's funny, in the end you went to study like everyone
You told me you wanted to live out of the box
You told me you wanted to conquer the world

I remember you breathing

It's funny that you now have a office and secretary
And a beautiful white Mazda company car
You told me once you are afraid of commitment
You told me you can't be mine

I remember you breathing

Ai-oh He has no problems
Ai-oh He's definitely a lucky guy
Ai-oh He has an investment fund
Ai-oh He definitely wants to die already

Let me guess, you bought a house in the neighborhood
To not be far from the parents
How all the houses look exactly the same
And all the people look very happy

I remember you breathing

Ai-oh He has no problems
Ai-oh He's definitely a lucky guy
Ai-oh He has an investment fund
Ai-oh He definitely wants to die already

This is a much requested feature (#6) and progress is apparently being made on it...

History DOES only go back about 6000 years, more or less. By definition, history deals with written records. Anything from before the invention of writing is considered prehistory, not history.

Justin Bieber is more than 8 weeks old? News to me.

Well, in the Dark Ages we certainly killed ourselves with (intellectual) darkness...

I'm happy this is being discussed publicly rather than being implemented unilaterally. Hopefully the same will occur if there is a push to block other controversial sites. If I want a certain form of entertainment (like porn) I can pay a little and get it elsewhere. But there is no good excuse for a public network to block, say, sites of unpopular political movements.

Apple sells more expensive products than their competitors. If they don't have new and unique features, then nobody will want to buy them.

Can you give a few examples of such papers?
If you're afraid of somebody's reaction, do it as AC.
Heck, anyone else who knows of such papers can also post them here as an AC.

Should we grant ownership of continents to the explorer who discovers them?
We used to...
