Method of Madness:
Is the question whether AIs should be given rights, or whether or not the rights are really ours to give, and not simply theirs to take, just as we do?

I have friends who's clothing arrangement is basic. One dresses entirely with a black T-Shirt and black Jeans. Very rarely does he dress up in something else.
I also have a friend who used to have 14 pieces of clothing (7 shirts, 7 pants) for the entire week. THATS it. Then he had to move to a much colder climate..... :lol:
And one friend only dressed up in white panties. of course, that was a part of the D/s relationship she had with someone.....

Or an Infinite Improbability Drive? Give it a really hot cup of tea and turn 'er on!
It's funny but offputting at the same time that Clinton is literally getting worked up over all the "implications" <air quotes>. I read it as a slap at a certain kind of geek that gets hung up on "implications" -- I mean, can you imagine some guy in 1907 who started getting hyperventilating over the 'implications' of air travel? He'd be just as much of a geek then as Clinton is in the QCverse now.

--- Quote from: Westrim on 05 Dec 2011, 15:04 ---Marigold's attitude is the reason that the discovery of a planet that is solidly in the habitable zone of its star is going mostly unnoticed today, a minor headline in the science section of news sites- if they have a science section- instead of front page news. Most of them will simply carry the AP report, which spends a good portion of its length repeating basic facts, like what a light year is. The cable news channels will mention it as a 30 second blurb every cycle, and the network news will spend about 15 seconds on it.

Some slight consolation for you: the story made it to the front page of the ABC news site in Australia.

Edit: The Sydney Morning Herald is also carrying the story down in its "technology" section:

NPR gave it 3:54, and that was without all the basic edumacation on lightyears...
