Re: WINDOWS 10 problems-- why I hate W10! (so far)

If your PC is totally 10 years old, you would probably be better buying a new one. If you have changed a few parts during this time, you may go after obsolete parts only. From what you just said, I think your might have insufficient RAM (but don't just go and buy RAM just on that assumption). And Dr...

Re: WINDOWS 10 problems-- why I hate W10! (so far)

This looks like a hardware problem to me, maybe as simple as a cable not well connected to the screen.

Re: ROBOTIC CAR REPOSSESSION from FORD!?

Then I guess no patent is needed: Atlas comes, blasts into oblivion the bad payer unless he manages to get away quickly enough, then just takes the car and drops it at the owner's garage (or not, he may choose to keep it though). Problem solved :-P

Re: ROBOTIC CAR REPOSSION from FORD!?

While I can understand their willingness to get back cars from bad payers, I can see a ton of legal shenanigans about that. Most simple is the possibility that the bad payer inhabits an area with no transports nearby and ending up being stranded in the middle of nowhere (while at home, or why not wh...

Re: A very warm February!

Here in Luxembourg (Europe), a few weeks ago, we were "promised" 20 cm (~7.5 inches) of snow. We got less than 5 cm (<2 inches) for barely 1 day. Now it's warm as if we were at least in April.

Re: Astro Boy schematics, as drawn by AI

This AI seems to think (correctly) that Astro Boy is a manga, and (a little less correctly) that manga is essentially Dragon Ball Z :-D

Re: Is it possible to know the exact date when I joined?

Re: Boston Dynamics & OTHER MANUFACTURERS AGAINST KILLER ROBOTS

I think the problem is not with robots with the ability to kill (guided missiles can do that since a long time), but with robots with the ability to choose their target and decide to kill it based on artificial intelligence. This is more like Terminator leaving the TV set and coming to our real world.
