It's like it was shown in the movie 'Artificial Intelligence'. They destroyed robots in most horrible way possible in a stadium full of people.

Agreed.
If you are going to destroy something expensive for entertainment (and profit, probably) then do it properly!

Morons on a high scale.
People who take joy at destroying stuff for the sake of destroying stuff "just because" are only morons.
There is no value at all in this experiment.
I'd rather be phishing!

Men/Women are people who construct things for fun.

Do not confuse the joy of reckless "disassembling" things to understand how they work and just hammering things to break them.
Not really, there was a lot of things to destroy in order to build and construct new things.
I'd rather be phishing!

Perhaps the notion that in order to be called a "man" one must destroy things, and perhaps enjoy that destruction, for no reason other than the destruction itself?
It is their money, and they're free to do with it what they will, even unto destroying it.
And I am free to call them complete and utter morons for doing so.

I don't disagree you're free to state your opinion, but you're so assertive with it, almost to the point of aggression, that I'm wondering if Steve Jobs touched you when you were a kid.

I've had great fun with my kids and fire-crackers and magnifying glasses. "Let's see what happens if..." Sometimes there is great joy derived in a bit of senseless destruction. Mind you, my price tag for the article being destroyed is usually $1.49 or less.

The magnets were not destroyed so what valuable technology was abused?

I dare you to try that line of reasoning in a family law court.
I double-dare ya in fact.
That goes double when the case involves a little kid and an adult...
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

Pause about 2;15 in. You can see part of the top edge of the right magnet shattered off and is stuck to the top right and bottom left corners of the left magnet.
Neodymium magnets are brittle and tend to crack/spall when abused.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

"...waging all things in the balance..." -- shouldn't that be "weighing"?

I thought I'd fixed that here a year or so ago (after finding an alternate translation).

I just replied to this post[^] and it simply won't go through.
When I go to my messages, it says (not publicly visible), why is that?
Edit: After sometime, it showed up, but, still. Why?

At least put a sign on the cage "You will be free soon".

Probably not - it means the spammers don't know that it's happening, and can't "tweak" the messages they post until they do get through.
Honest, if you look at the moderation queue, the number of "false positives" is vastly exceeded by the "true positives" - and if the detector was relaxed, then a good number of the ones we don't want could get through.
One weekend a little while ago, the moderation queue had thousands of spam items in it - even 10% of those getting through works Protectors and staff to the bone trying to kill them.
If it's any consolation, I get trapped by it from time to time as well!

That actually makes sense, but I did double post before I realized what was going on. Well, at least now i know
