Autonomous drones will probably be a big issue -- could potentially home in on cell phone IMEI for targets, or even just be let loose to attack anything in an area that looks like a person, or infrastructure target.

So you're arguing 12 olds should be able to buy cigarettes? Edit: Op has no context or clear point, so its a legitimate question. Why are we comparing children and adults? Is the point that 18s should be able to buy alcohol? Or that th

Call it what you will, but it's unable to survive until birth, so its not really alive is it? Do we consider ejaculation murder too? They survive on their own, and can navigate their way to an egg... clearly they are from a human, livi

Hi, as a fellow amateur tig-er, I'd highly recommend checking out Weldingtipsandtricks on YouTube, the guy is a great teacher, and there are plenty of troubleshooting topics for new welders. He helped drastically improve my aluminum

You probably can't convince him, peer pressure is going to win out at that age. Best I think you can do is emphasize working (at 12, allowance or chores) to earn the fancy things you want, and not caving yourself to the demands of hi

Could be wrong (please correct me) but i recall hearing that allowing a customer to change a battery (e.g, 3rd party) on a chargable device can change the safety of the product/UL rating or whatever, so it could simply be a certificati

Not surprising, I worked on a DOR film and everybody was terrified of him, he's just a psycho. He'd waste so much money, and then got the producers whose job was to reign him in fired. In all likelyhood the financier for Nailed wa

It was my point, and i thought it was clear enough that it was just a comparison of projectile to target, and the damage a tiny object can cause; I should have added more words, maybe. Most at NASA thought that the foam couldn't have d

Clearly i should have added more words as I thought it was obvious I was just comparing projectile vs target; ie, just because an object is small or light doesn't mean it can't cause significant damage, and we don't have a lo

At this point i think its more about helping prevent more people falling to the hoax. The better, and more easily explained, the larger the audience that can see through the lies, and understand why.

I believe they still shroud them. And I vaguely recall reading about a museum that received a retired prop design; they had to vertically mount it for display partially underground, as the Navy wouldn't let them cut the bottom blades s

Is VR really successful? Because it seems like its been floundering for years, and still hasn't learned to walk yet. And your example in a way backs up what Carmack is saying -- nobody listened, and Oculus sucks, as you pointed out.
