The building I have worked in since 1998 has female voices for the elevators... "Going up", etc. It's a 30+ year old building. Where's the out cry over that?
Plenty of non-sexist reasons to have a female voice.
> What I'd like to see is more autonomous bots, rather than what are effectively RC tanks.
I was going to post something like this. They are not really robots, IMO. Autonomous bots would be much more interesting.
Where? I didn't see any of them on google maps earth view.
I, for one, have used it in this manner for 60+ years. But I thought it was mostly confined to the South where I grew up.
> it was a unit Apple gave them
Apparently with strings (NDA) attached? Or are you saying the NDA from their original developer relationship prevented this? Both of these seem a bit sketchy to me.
> Yeah, basically "the clause in the act indemnifies car manufacturers against criminal penalties".
Seems that still leaves them open to civil actions/penalties.
It's working just fine on mine, though YMMV as they say.
In other words...motherfucking Google! Must you kill everything I love!
Agreed. I love my Nexus 7... I don't have a smart phone, my tablet is my portal. Google has ADD.
Every generation starts out more liberal and open-minded, and ends up more conservative and bitter.
Then I must be an outlier since I'm now 67 and far more liberal than I was 50 years ago... and for the record, I think Snowden is a hero.
we fully intend to follow Obama's lead and use the IRS as a weapon against our enemies domestic and domestic.
Obama's lead? If you think he started this, you must be new around here (planet earth).
Agree 100%. I have my doubts about the "old stoner" really being one.
Furthermore, the encounter will be by our own robots.
And it will be sexy.
"Hey sexy mama--wanna kill all humans?"
Oh, to have some mod points now.
Problem is, I end up getting subscribed to mailing lists all the time because a lot of people with the same last name and a similar first name don't pay the fuck attention to what address they're typing in.
THIS! I have a rather regional last name... it's not common. But every moron out there seems to think it's theirs. I've done a lot of the same things that others have done... responded, canceled, ignored, etc. I've even tried to get the sources of these to require a confirmation link be sent to the subscribing email... no luck there either.
Also, GMail is very good at catching SPAM, in my experience. Every once in a while, I'll get a few that I report and from then on, I don't see them anymore.
You're forgetting that anyone who gets it now is an idiot.
Really? So a health worker that comes into contact with an Ebola patient that is undiagnosed and gets ill is an idiot?
I wondering what the level of fear, apprehension, etc. was on the dive? I think I'd be very fearful.
to me in my job. I could flip off more managers in one action.
Nobody said computers were going to be polite.
