AC: You are nothing more than a useless troll with no life. Kindly refrain from responding to any comments ive made on this platform.

You mean like stingray celltowers gathering warrantless info that LE feels entitled to at taxpayer expense?

Have to agree. If the IRS is conducting an audit and has reason to believe someone isnt being honest about their business expenses, its one thing. Its another to vacuum data at taxpayer expense with zero accountability or oversight.

Perhaps if you know everything like "anonymous coward" you dont have to look up facts and feel comfortable making chickenshit mod labels to innocent comments as "flamebait" but seriously AC...eat a bag of dicks.

"Captured" really isnt the right word. Operation Paperclip was about identifying and locating the best of the best scientists, offering them a clean slate, asylum, a home, and steady work developing US technology on any number of projects since the Germans were about 10-20 years ahead. The alternative was working with the Russians who would only employ them as long as they needed or risk being arrested and tried as a war criminal.

Google is your friend

I love how swiftly you move the goalposts. #1. I said "closed circuit" which has nothing to do with city or country roads. #2 Driverless Waymo taxis (mentioned in the article) have nothing to do with you on the freeway still having to correct what the computer cant handle. Sorry, youll need another set of data points.

Im not talking about deer

Feel free to hop in and prove me wrong. ;)

On a closed circuit i am willing to give a self driving vehicle a shot as nothing out of the ordinary can happen outside of basic mechanical failure. On open roads and at freeway speeds, youve got no chance if something goes wrong. Self preservation is an instinct no computer can possess.

Lazy consumerism. A lot of folks appreciate familiarity to the point that network executives are put in place to make sure that movies, tv, songs, etc have certain elements to guarantee a particular reaction. The sad part is there are actual artists out there trying to make a difference, trying for some recognition who may never get their opportunity

That is not entirely true as Microsoft's investment into xbox 360 as a browser, media center, and communcation device proved.

A road trip with you must be a blackhole level of suck.

Im sure its not anymore than a liberal conservationist when they get their arms around a tree.

Too many games are relrased with bugs that do a lot of damage to the games reputation. If people are asking why did i spend $50-$100 on this, there wont be a GTA 7. If GTA V truly sold 9.5 billion since 2013, then GTA 6 is worth some extra care unlike what game developers have done to so many franchises trying to score a quick buck.
