Comment To Serve Mankind (Score 1) 337

by DarkWyld (#42385023) Attached to: How Do You Give a Ticket To a Driverless Car?
So, let's see we are now almost at the age where a Speed Camera can issue a ticket to a AutoMate car? Seriously, if we could just wait a few more years till the machines get a bit more advanced I think we should just trust our whole global defense systems to them... I'm sure there isn't a likely future possibility where this ends badly... :) P.S. I think my AutoMate car just ran over john connor... F the Future of mankind!

Out of Egypt Censorship, US Tech Export Under Fire 217

Posted by Soulskill from the made-your-bed dept.
AndyAndyAndyAndy writes "After it was exposed that American firm Narus had sold Egypt the Deep Packet Inspection equipment used to spy on and censor its citizens, the US House Committee on Foreign Relations held a hearing where Reps. Chris Smith and Bill Keating 'grilled Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg on the sale of this Internet spying technology to an Egyptian Internet provider controlled by the Mubarak regime.' It seems there is now a push for stronger controls and monitoring for technology exports 'that would provide a national strategy to prevent the use of American technology from being used by human rights abusers.'" Several readers have noted that Hosni Mubarak has now stepped down as president of Egypt. Control of the country's affairs has been passed to the high council of its armed forces, which has some journalists and bloggers worried.
