Someone above said that it's will be a long time before this new technology reaches human level intelligence/processing ability, and I agree. However, they don't need human level intelligence to be dangerous. All they need is the ability to navigate independently, and the ability to aim and fire a weapon.

I signed up years ago for my son's boyscout troop, but almost never used it. I hear a lot more people say they don't use it than those who say they do use it. Even my step sister and sister in law who were heavy users a number of years ago, almost never use it anymore. Which makes me wonder who is still using it....

How can you expect that collection of feathered lounge lizards to build an effective meteor deflecting system with nails like they had? Blame it on their stars, the shooting star that hit what we call the Yucatan pinusala - it killed all the jumbo dinos. SO the dinos are innocent!

I usually ignore the ramblings of the AI, but in my current 1.7 game, Magnar predicted the downfall of Magnar...yes, himself. I didn't save a screenshot, so I can't officially report it. Has anyone else seen something like that?

[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="140" id="3482322"] If you believe "Godwin's Law" in any way asserts the one to draw the analogy automatically loses or that the law dictates the thread must then be closed, you have adopted a twisted re-interpretation analogous to Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution twisted into the plutocratic "social Darwinism." [/quote] You saw the smiley in Cauldyth's post, right?....

This thread has now achieved Godwin's law.

Hey guys I don't run both NIS and MWB at the same time. I run them one at a time. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I appreciate everyones imput!

[quote who="psychoak" reply="7" id="3481959"] If MalwareBytes and NIS are on your system and running, that could be your problem as well. They "should" play nice, but you never know when an update to one will cause issues with the other, and conflicting antiviral software can have a diverse array of negative performance impacts. Competing real time scanning modes can easily duplicate the inconsistent performance issue. [/quote] Thanks for the info. I
