Now you on to some serious fire-power in the form of mass drivers (A mass driver or electromagnetic catapult is a proposed method of non-rocket space launch which would use a linear motor to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds.) No need for explosives of any kind just dense payload and enormous speed produces enormous damage at the other end regardless of the type of material standing in the way. Everything Smashed including machines!

Some beliefs are more offensive than others such as Hogan's Heroes(look it up children if you don't know what it was) was an accurate portrayal of a Nazi concentration camp You have to wonder what possessed someone to put this material in a comedy format??

You forgot he was story adviser to the great movie director Cecil B Demile

Why are we still fucking around with this asinine argument??? Get on with your life ,believe what you want to believe and leave this tired old argument in peace.

I'm singing in the rain as The Butlerian Jihad comes marching down the road.

" Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind"- Orange Catholic Bible- Dune Series "The target of the Jihad was a machine-attitude as much as the machines," Leto said. "Humans had set those machines to usurp our sense of beauty, our necessary selfdom out of which we make living judgments. Naturally, the machines were destroyed."[6]-God Emperor of Dune "Man may not be replaced."-The Butlerian Jihad a.k.a. The Great Revolt use of technology trains humans to think like machines. The problem is that machines are deterministic; thus, training people to be machines is self-limiting. Herbert seemed to think that to be human is to be essentially 'open-ended', capable of undiscovered, indeterminate evolution, both personally and as a species.- Heidegger's thesis.- Over to you human race.

"Consistency is the Hobgoblin of small minds but Specialization is the ruination of all minds" Leonardo's Law

Slashdot a product review and best deals site? What next Fruit and Vegetable sales? Slashdot was once a repository of great tech info doled out by Tech snobs now its so down market it reads like its being produced in a basement by work experience interns A sad sad sad day. PS I am looking for a good home delivery service............

We developed stealth tech for military use so the enemy would not see our attack until it was too late so what if an advanced civilization took it a step further and developed the ability to cloak their civilization so as to make it more difficult to detect ? It makes sense because not seen it to be safe from possible Predators and prying eyes such as ours. Why attract unnecessary attention no matter how long it takes to get to you.and besides we hardly understand ourselves let alone anything else that might be out there in the big wide Universe.

I don't mind the Hyperloop as long as they don't make that spooky HYPER CUBE!!!!!!!

Star Trek led economic revolution? Wait, aren't these the same people who won't allow genetic modification to prevent genetic based diseases because Ricardo Montablon or Benedict Cumberbatch turned up as some freaky super human(dubious science at best) due to misguided eugenics experiments so they allow people in the future to still suffer these diseases because someone in the past made a boo boo? Thats like saying because Atomic weapons were developed and deployed in WW2 we discard the whole field of nuclear medicine because someone might blow up the world!! What a load of nonsense This way of thinking precludes humanity learning from it's mistakes and learning how to use the technology in a more productive way I wouldn't worry about Trekonomics until we get our moral compass aligned correctly otherwise while people are worrying about their reputation score others will be begging just to survive due to fixable genetic impairments and cursing the name Montablon and Cumberbatch

Its sad that an industrial accident has a link to the promotion of a Hollywood science fiction film about killer robots from the future. A tenuous link at best maybe? An unintentional link?,possibly but it just seems to too much of coincidence which is sad to say the least.

I am so glad you sorted out the ironing of this situation without getting all shirty..

Office Barbrady I call shenanigans on Uber Goddamit!!! Uber will respect my authority! Nuff Said.

Whats surprising about the Gates inspired "Think Tank: K-12 CS Education Cure For Sagging US Productivity"? The guy was a techno thug in his previous incarnation as head of Microsoft where under his leadership the windows OS was preloaded onto Pcs and shoved down the throats of all and sundry creating a monopoly that raked in millions over a many years aided by complicit regulators who didn't have the guts to stare down the Microsoft behemoth when they had a chance to correct the situation when they finally called Microsoft to account for their monopolistic behavior.and abuse of power. Then Gates 2.O The second coming of Saint Bill and Melinda the foundation years or Techno thug wants to be loved. Now using the money gained form his old Microsoft Techno thug bully boy days of taking over companies he wants to be known as saint Bill the good guy helping the world become a better place by feeding our young into his CS Education machine to keep the good times rolling but for who? Once a techno thug always a techno thug!
