not sure if anyone here even gives a damn anymore but I decided to start up a thread archiving a lot of cool stuff I found from the early days of robotics development, most I'm sure a lot of you already know about.

Hey look, Mr. "don't be evil" is trying to find excuses to gobble up more rights of American's in the name of "privacy" all the while supporting a bill that will allow his company to hand over any personal info they have to government agencies for a ****ing profit!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/apr/21/drones-google-eric-schmidt I'd suggest anyone here who still gives a sh** about telerobotics make a big deal about this asshole, and anyone who agrees with his words. Eat sh** Schmidt. 112

He wants you to lock it because that is literally the only thing that can stop him from posting. I think he's at the point where he realizes the damage he has done but still has an addiction to making bad posts. 113

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.
In a sense the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little attention to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as one can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for free for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply publicize what the music business wants to make money with. 118
