Agreed. He thinks that self driving cars will be able to make ethical decisions through the magic of algorithms. It might happen, but probably not in my lifetime.

Still, I found it an interesting discussion.

Yeah, it's simply idiotic to follow up stuff you're written with other writings concerning things you're interested in. I mean, who does that? And why would you? Promotion... even worse, self promotion. The worst kind of promotion.

I want to live in a world where no one writes or does or creates anything. And certainly never follows up on anything they've written or done or created. That'd be the best world ever!

"putting it on hold indefinitely"

Let me translate: "We're putting it on hold until the uproar dies down."

Exactly what does enrolling a customer into an unwanted and ridiculously overpriced service has to do with shedding customers?! If the contract is over. Shed the customer. If the contract is not over. Keep up your end of the contract.

By the power invested by my lion tamer hat, I order unicorns to stop farting rainbows.

They're complaining that the courts and government are not protecting their rights. Their copyrights.

But copyrights exist at the discretion of the government. If 17 USC 107 provides a fair use exception to copyright. And if time shifting is fair use. Then there are no rights to protect.

It's not the government's job to protect your IP rights. The government grants you a monopoly covering certain aspects of a work. If the government decides that time shifting is not a violation of copyrights, you don't have that right. Deal with it.

I hope they hire Justin Long to be his sidekick.

This has nothing to do with religious rights. This is about these women making asinine choices. If their religion bars them from being nurses, then they shouldn't be nurses. It's really that simple.

Can you imagine a muslim woman being hired to work as a stripper and then suing because she has to take her clothes off? Does anyone think she has a right to work as a fully clothed stripper?

The Amish are doing it right. Rather than force modern society to bend to their outdated religious notions, they remove themselves from modern society. So should those so called nurses.

When you bought clean systems and installed your own OS? Me neither, but apparently it was quite common a long long time ago.

"Before we can totally discount the theory that space-time is comprised of Planck-scale pixels..."

And you lost me.

"until a privacy review could be completed"

Which is another way of saying until the uproar dies down so we can sneak it in later without objection.

Weddings, school pictures, family pictures, journalism, mugshots, and nearly any other specific event that people want a visual record.

Kodak is just using this to cover up the fact they've been experimenting with an intrinsic field test chamber. I'm assuming they want to build a super-powered meta-human to help them in their upcoming patent battles.

"Allowing a candidate out of nowhere to use the profession of 'astronaut' when he hasn’t served in that profession recently is akin to allowing someone to use a title of 'sailor' when they no longer own or operate a ship,"

- California GOP spokeswoman Jennifer Kerns

Yes it is. What's your point?
