How about the fact that computer driven cars have no sense of compassion for other drivers? Imagine a busy street during rush hour bumper to bumper with driver-less cars. No computer is going to stop short to allow you out of that driveway of the gas station. It's the end of common sense judgement as well. I can see the kid who may be speeding down the sidewalk towards an intersection. That driver-less car will only see the kid when he/she is in it's path.... Too late for the kid. What happens when your car is hacked and you can be assassinated by remote control? Ever hear of buggy software? Better hope your car isn't run on Microsoft Windows.

We can agree to disagree on the issue of man made climate change considering there are many scientists on both sides of the aisle. I for one don't believe the man made climate change myth. The one obvious issue aside from that is that the various scare mongering stories of floods and disappearing islands and massive sea level increases are all readily dis-proven. Furthermore, the proposed solutions of paying carbon taxes to the corporations and banks is laughable. Not only would this not result in a reduction of "carbon dioxide release", but it would all be passed down to the public in the form of increased costs for everything. Food, fuel, services. It would clearly result in the mass starvation of many people in third world countries who are on the edge right now. Man is adaptable by nature. If the sea level were to rise to the point of flooding some inland areas it would occur over the course of hundreds of years. I have no doubt that mankind would move out of the way. If one area had an increase in arid conditions making crops hard to grow, mankind would move his crops to other lands that become crop friendly. This whole issue is nothing more than an attempt by the powers that be to gain control over every facet of our lives from micromanaging our energy consumption to deciding what we can eat. You can be damn sure that the Al Gore's of the world won't face any such restrictions on their use of "carbon intensive" resources while the poor and the middle class will. I could care less if the climate changes. That's why I was born with two feet. So I can move where the climate suits me.

You actually post an article about whether we should vote for a presidential candidate based on geek friendliness?????? Wow! America is officially dead.

Explain to me how this is even remotely possible? Let's take something simple. Monitor displaying the number 5 and monitor displaying the number 4. How do the glasses know whether it's a 5 or 4? The computer is relaying the information to the monitor and not to the glasses. The liquid crystal film (LCD) is normally connected to the computer through the monitor. How is it connected now? This is such obvious bullshit that I don't understand how anyone could even consider it.

Hate it for you.

If it were me I would drop any provider participating in this scheme.

Actually it's the opposite. It's BECAUSE of the undeveloped countries that the population explodes. It's because the rich and powerful 1%'ers keep the undeveloped world undeveloped that we have these exorbitant population increases. It's FACT that fertility rates (number of children born to an average couple) in undeveloped countries are high and low in developed countries like western countries. If the Big banks like the IMF would stop preventing developed countries from creating industry and wealth for their populations, the fertility rate in those countries would go down. People who have jobs and are happy spend less time fucking than those who have nothing.

When will we be rid of these sick people propagating this absurd lie about carbon emissions?

You claim that google plus is better than twitter. One must wonder how much google is paying you for that assessment? With twitter, we don't have to give out our name.

Can anyone tell me what it's like to live without these? /end sarcasm

My first free Bitcoins were received on July, 12th 2010. Sounds like someone needs to learn what patent means.

Refusing to buy GM foods is IMPOSSIBLE. GM foods aren't labeled as GM foods. You have no way to know that any food item you buy is GM. I also find it funny that you are so uneducated as to be totally ignorant of the fact that companies like Monsanto create these GM foods in order to force farmers to buy their seed (yes potatoes are just like seed and are used to grow new potatoes). Companies like Monsanto contaminate the farms of those who refuse to buy seed from them with their PATENTED GM seeds then they SUE those farmers for using their PATENTED seeds when they were the ones who contaminated the land through cross pollination accomplished by merely driving by a field and throwing a handful of their patented seed in the field. These people are HEROES and should be commended for their service to humanity for destroying these evil crops.

Sounds to me like some heroes who need to be awarded commendations for their service to the future human race.

The people don't want their food to be genetically modified. The purpose of genetically modifying food is to patent crops with the result being the control of all food by companies like Monsanto. We don't want them to control our food. We don't want to have to use their seed when we can save our own seed. If the government refuses to listen to the will of the people then the people have every right and even the responsibility to destroy those crops to protect themselves and their future generations.

The Judge mentioned that he noticed a low number of motions to quash in these types of ex parte expedited discovery cases. Ex parte means without notice to the accused. The low number is more than likely the result of the policies of the particular ISP's in regards to giving notice to the subscriber that there is a subpoena for their information.

The judge rightly noticed this discrepancy along with the fact that in some cases the IP holder was not the infringing party. The motion to quash is an essential right of the accused so they can tell the court "hey, I live in an apartment bldg with 20 people who could be leeching off my wireless therefore the subpoena should be quashed because there isn't enough probable cause that I am the infringer".

The ex parte discovery process for that many people is likely to violate someone's rights and this is why the judge denied it.
