Yea, i bought this back in the early 90s at a bookstore and came in a shrink wrapped magazine package. Frankly, I can't remember how good it was, or anything about it.

Yea, I was in Times Square on New Years eve, 1999. What I considered ground zero if the Y2K bug actually caused problems.

Well, Times Square is called the "Crossroads of the world".

Not at all. We've not had a major outage since 2003. And that was caused by a bug in software in Ohio. NYC has problems, but power is not one of them.

Yes, that's correct. Russia stopped a number of years ago. I think they cited health concerns, but I could be wrong.

But it's going to Standard Time that's the problem, no ? Daylight Saving Time ends today, Standard Time begins.

Yea, unmanned vehicles are not normally designed to be refueled, especially when they are 94 million miles away. Manned vehicles, however, present a different problem. You really can't leave a person out in space without attempting a refuel, can you ?

Certainly impressive hacking skills, but how can anyone know that the "replica" of the Florida election site is identical to the real site. They need to be able to hack into the real site.

Obviously. AI warfare would violate the 3 laws of robotics. "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law." But that is assuming that the AI is programmed to attack humans. What if it is only programmed to attack another AI ? Then we have no conflict. Then all we have to worry about is AI putting all of us out of jobs, etc. Not killing some of us (the enemy). A pleasant thought.

IMHO, the MTA could care less about how the subway runs. They are only concerned with 20 and out (twenty years service, then pension). It's a real problem here..

From what I've been reading lately about the perceived effects of the widespread application of AI, class warfare is a very real possibility. Now, if this is the case, I don't see how any country ... the US, China, et al really benefits. Some individuals and corporations may benefit, but the country as a whole does not (imho).

Pretty impressive.

I guess I am. What invasion ? According to international law it was illegal, but still, Crimea has always wanted to be part of Russia again. But Russia went about it the wrong way. Anyway, not a shot was fired when Russia "took" Crimea. I read that somebody fell and was killed but that was it. Afghanistan ? You mean when the USSR invaded Afghanistan. Russia is not the USSR.

Anyone know when they will cancel the current android service ?

Tech PC IBM-AT (80286) clone. Can't remember the details. But great for Lotus, early C compilers (Eco-c), Pascal, etc.
