It's nice that you were here to flesh it out.

I see that it was my mistake to assume that we would be able to have any kind of civilized debate. If you prefer to think that anyone that disagrees with you is part of a conspiracy then you should get your paranoia checked with a doctor.

AI doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be better than humans in the cases that it is applied. As someone that rides bikes and has a Master's degree in AI, I would feel safer sharing roads with self-driving cars such as those from Google than with human drivers. I've had accidents because some careless driver decided to stop on the bike lane out of nowhere. That driver was either hateful or careless in a way that state of the art self driving cars already aren't. Using your own arguments, just because you are a scared little rabbit fearing self-driving cars shouldn't stop other people from having getting them.

Look, I just want to thank you two for keeping a civil and informed conversation on such a hot topic. It makes me glad for not having left Slashdot behind.

As Socrates's life teaches us, that's not really new.

I don't see that really helping, it would be trivial to get the "logged off AC" if they wanted to spam.

I found a thread on HackerNews about playing "Eye of the Tiger" on a dot matrix. A comment seems to direct to the file you mention.

I think they find funny that they can draw a relation between the captcha word and the topic.

Are we talking about the pet or the owner?

And here for a moment I thought that Bennet Hasselton had moved to video.

Similar, but without the ironmanning. I think that in the book they only discussed the idea.

Well, there is an open source port for Descent, so maybe? I guess it depends on which libraries it needs.

Do you remember which side of the wall he was? That influences the meaning heavily. A Google search suggests this is some Russian joke.

Do you mean the guy that always explain the joke in the way that everyone else had already understood, and that is the reason that he is called Obvious? The Captain part would then imply a superhero persona that comes out of nowhere to do this duty of explaining.

I find this one funny since I was playing UT2004 in Linux long before Steam was on Mac. It came with a Linux installer in the CD before I even had a Steam account.
