Who gets to teach the AI, and who gets to determine what it's taught?

Not having these things determined by an entity that can be regulated or at least spanked could be a really bad thing. Then again, maybe Google wants to take over Earth.

Could that be so bad?

The censorship has been happening here on Slashdot for years already. Instead of concentrated DDOS attacks it's been in the form for mod-point-activism.

Big deal. One domain was silenced.

He can still work and do what he needs, now he has to participate in the rest of the media network.

That's the whole point of the Internet being invented in the 60's to begin with. One site / segment get's bombed, you can still get on in other segments of the network. All he needs to do is submit Press Releases just like everyone else.

Problem that's not a problem has been solved.

I used to think Slashdot was a tech news aggregating site, now I think it's just an overly complex idiot honey pot. I'm not entirely clear on the long term plan.

It has always been my assumption that Yahoo accounts are compromised by default.

This isn't news.

Those too could be solved. And yes, it was loverly when package management became robust.

Every Linux user should know how to install a Linux Kernel.

Lets just install brick walls at Mclaren / Apple Dealerships and let save the new owners time testing how fast and how many pieces they fly into when they hit the wall.

There's going to be a lot more cancer, then? I guess if everyone dies of cancer, that could technically be considered a "solution"...

It's not currently popular to hold ourselves accountable for our actions and accomplishments, or lack thereof.

We need a device for this or an app for that as a constant reminder of our outwardly conscientious self-righteousness.

" Ohhh look at me participating in the Portland free bike program with my thousand dollar iphone riding as slow as I can, Oh the irony... "

Before the apple phanboi's attack here's the proof:

Where they found a battery with enough juice to power a GPS (Radio) device for the months required to cross the ocean, through the hull of a ship, and then have the GPS unit pass undetected through customs etc?

I think it's more likely someone found the GPS unit, and sold it on Ebay, raising a false positive when it was powered up. Or, the entire article could be a sham to begin with.

That sounds like a rehash of the Hero 4, with a gee whiz feature that a large part of their target demographic won't be able to use. You know what I want? I want a full 360 degree VR camera. One that doesn't pose a snag hazard when a parachute gets deployed and won't throw off my aerodynamics. Somewhere out there is a company with the vision to create such a thing, and I'll purchase my next camera from that company.

Problem: Phone catches on fire and explodes.

Solution: Added new "Battery on fire" battery icon status.

Problem solved!

The phone wants to remind you that it could explode under the current circumstances, but chooses not to.

Agreed, it is fairly hard to understand foreign languages like Great Britainniash..

To clarify a couple of quid is around 500 Albanian Leks

I see you assume anyone not living in a city as being ignorant or stupid. Not true.

There's skills learned in the woods and fields that lend themselves very well to combat. Like knowing how to shoot and *hit* your target. It's not just point and pull like in the movies. We won WWII because of these farm-boys.
