People who worry about the “rise of the machines” (something unprecedented in history) need to worry much more about the rise of people USING the machines (fascism and dictatorship—something MOST of history is made up of....).
When I see a camera on every stoplight (as I see in Virginia, for example) I’m not so concerned of some master computer messing with me, as I am a fascist Obama nanny-state, doing it all for “my own good” thoroughly in (evil, arrogant, amoral) human control.

I worry about a dictator with an army of machines that wont resist orders to shot protesters, like real soldiers would.

My computer got a viral STD after getting an e-mail from Laz! Relax, unless you are the new WH social computer who’s openly Fortran you can’t get this viral STD.

Your computer? Right.
Now imagine an electrical charge to the nucleus accumbens and this is the image that appears next to that tickling sensation caused by something like cocaine (without the ridiculously short half life of cocaine)...

What we should be concerned with is these idiots we have now will have access and control of these machines

If my computer had hit it, you wouldn't have posted that at .325 width, you would have posted that at 325 width.
Like this:
So my computer did hit it.
