You lived most of your life without that and can again. But the machines that could take over can't live without that technology, so that's where they fail. .

I agree, but the end game is the humans will still be here and the technology not. .

See my answer to Gubbins on this link. .

We've been around in recognisably human form for a million years without the internet. So returning to that leaves your internet based machine useless. That's why the machines fail, as my sledge hammer response showed. The machine uses it's brain but we don't need to make that mistake. We...

Not when it's playing chess! Ultimately it's lack of flexible physical access that defeats the electronic brains in the foreseeable future. We are at least centuries away from the machines evolving the infinite flexibility of human action, and possibly millennia. .

Again no chance, when I show up with the hammer I'll do the necessary in seconds, long before it could access a JCB. .

Bitcoin has taken a big dive in the last five days after previously climbing to £15,000. At one point it dropped to £8,000 but has rallied to £10,000. I suppose this volatility has followed the recent entry of the professional financial market speculators. Perhaps they're scheming for major...

It's a matter of national suitability. The red or green light seen reflecting from passports using those colours is very focussed and precisely defined. Blue light on the other hand randomly scatters in an unpredictable manner, is ill focussed and has poorly defined boundaries. Clearly blue...

Probably Siri or Cortana shopped them. .

No chance. I don't need to better it with brain power, one swing with a sledge hammer will show who has the superior intellect. .

We probably would, partly due to our past associations with Poland, WW2 for example, and partly because with freedom of movement the Poles have not been an economic problem to us, more a considerable benefit. .

Brought to mind some poll findings on religious belief that I very recently heard. Apparently 9% of those who say they are not religious said they do believe in the resurrrection of Jesus Christ. And even more astonishingly 25% said they believe in the existence of angels. Where can that...

The complications could be interesting. Ukraine isn't in the EU by the way, there's an association agreement between the two, but it falls far short of membership. .

Comment I liked on the BBC's Radio 4 news at midday in answer to the question, "Where does this leave Theresa May". Answer given: Still in charge but Weak and Stable. .

Both, essentially wise enough to be a cynic. .

It doesn't seem so. The separate anti-subsidy action by the EU Commission that I referred to above in this post is specifically targeted at the Peoples Republic of China. .

That's correct. We know from the officer that the images were not illegal. We know from Green giving away the computer that it was his own and he could properly have his personal material on it. We know that there is no proof or even the faintest indication that he ever accessed his personal...

Not content with the anti dumping attempt, now the European Commission is starting an anti-subsidy action to run in parallel against Chinese producers: Information link .

Of course, its even got an extra headlight where the engine should be to emphasise its electric drive nature! And no mudguards to emphasise the open top nature of fair weather use only. Designed for those who can't immediately grasp the obvious. ;) .
