Yep. Well mostly the remote controlled birdy can still navigate somewhat on its own. Love following the Darpa challenges. https://www.darpa.mil/program/darpa-robotics-challenge Of course you also end up with this...

No wonder you guys enjoy hockey so much. Having to be polite all the time bottling up all that rage. Maybe it wasn't London as the epicenter but Toronto.

Our current hope is to continue to support groups that adhere to our common interest in keeping the internet open, while petitioning our local senators about creating a federal law. After all the FTC and FCC can only do so much and the courts can only rule on laws passed. Its really up to us...

Whats wrong with wearing sunglasses at night? If its good enough for Ray, its good enough for me.

Wish I could buy @Xist a beer while discussing how best to control the internet.

Its like all those who say we shouldn't be arming robots and yet we have this. It is an interesting outcome as generally these companies can operate for years if not decades with out the regulations applying to them due to their large lobbyist ability. And even then the fine at the end only...

I meant the issue was not with it being above ground or below ground, the issue with the power grid is one of upkeep not being done. Insulators and transformers have an engineered lifespan at which point its suggested they are replaced. As for undeground utilities being tremendously more...

The issue is the power grid like the highway systems is that it has not been maintained nor expanded upon to increase capacity and redundancy. And while you are correct it is very expensive to put the wires underground, the issue is more one of upkeep...

I'm sure they will give you the box for free but then you'll be charged for ammo, guns, and connection rights to the servers.

This provides your credentials but it doesn't answer my question. As it seems we are coming at the question from different places and so I asked for your understanding so that we can find a common reference point. But your still illusive as to your reasons while clearly offended that I...

Indeed. But then again history is littered with such discoveries. In this case I wonder what will come of this one.

I can see it now. Blind Owl purchased a Reclaimer thinking it was a Starfarer with the sole purpose of turning the very large tanks into fermentation vats so that when one is dry another has completed the beer making process.

This baffles me. How did an irishnutcase bump this post back to the top on a day of green beer?

And they didn't even include the customary "Sorry". I wonder if they are even Canadian or an imposter.

Sorry was attempting at a little bit of dry humor. Regulation will honestly not solve much as it takes far to long for them to catch up. Take for instance your example of Volkswagon's modifying their car to perform differently when connected to a dynamo vs being out on the street, (Dirty...

Was trying to see if it was just an external skin color or if the color was also used internal. Might have been interesting to see it have a more Emerald City look.

One can hope. But I have a feeling we have not seen the last of loot boxes from EA.

Ok, what is your understanding of the internet and its inter workings?

You do realize the point wasn't about making profit but about controlling the content. To that end with a gajillion dollars it would be a far easier task to buy up the backbone then to buy up all of the last mile isp, especially when the backbone providers have no qualms about selling service...

You can control the last mile or you can control the source. Either way is legitimate, I just figured it would be far easier to control the center then to try and buy up all the last mile ISP's.
