Then the same roads as 18-wheelers and buses. Good luck getting those off the bloody roads.

That seems a strange assertion - I was under the impression that insertion sort beats bubble sort on small arrays, pretty much always, and even in 'nearly sorted' arrays, which is often touted as a strength of bubble sort. http://www.sorti

I would not be surprised if the first couple accidents were the result of nearby drivers 'ooh'-ing and 'ahh'-ing at the driverless car.

If the accident involves a bus, does that make it a SIGBUS?

If a driverless car cuts me off, to whom do I direct my middle finger? Seriously, though, good on them - I'd love to see this kind of thing during my lifetime. Hopefully it goes well - I'd hate to see this cause a rash of accidents no matt

Do you have any evidence of anyone in the US being convicted and put to death for writing software without anyone knowing about it, or is this just some additional snarky rhetoric being tossed about that mirrors your dim view of the US? Ser

Considered SEALs at one point, ended up doing nuclear power work instead. Probably for the best - I wasn't very level headed in my younger days, and I'm not sure going into a gung-ho profession such as the SEALs would have helped matters.

This underscores an oft-ignored important part of the patent system, which is that it encourages people to make their discoveries known to others by patenting them in exchange for temporary monopoly. If the patent were completely unavailab

So you think your demands are protecting your rights, and you think you're hurting the industry that goes against them. We've established that. But these rights haven't actually been established as 'rights' - which might need to change -

It would - I agree completely. But are you better served by pirating their music, which only gives the RIAA more ammo regarding piracy stats to get their asinine laws passed, or just finding music from people that satisfies your requiremen

Compensate the band for their efforts - it's really not hard, your attempts to muddy the water with asinine value qualifications notwithstanding. You don't owe them anything more than what you would owe them by acquiring music through lega

Pretty simple actually. Two albums cost, what, around 20 ~ 40 depending upon the band? Buy enough swag to make up the cost. More of the profits will go to the band than would have before.

Discussing an artist whose music you've heard is in no way guaranteed to compensate that artist. At best, someone, somewhere, will hear the word of mouth and spend some money that goes back in the direction of the artist. There is no guar

I can always add one more reasonable demand to my previous list of reasonable demands to hide behind. The final one will be 'accept bitcoin payment' and then I'll never need to pay for anything again! Let's face it, they could charge 0.01

So, because their product is not up to your arbitrary set of demands, you feel justified in pirating it? Couldn't they meet those and you could just come up with more demands? I don't buy it. Hiding behind a list of demands that must be m

The businesses and other establishments around you that make you 'independent from roads'? Yeah, those are likely completely dependent on roads. So you aren't, really.

Somewhat of a cherry-picked example. Why aren't we also discussing Rio or Cairo? Not exactly car friendly. Not exactly paradise either.
