Yes it has chemicals *in it*, as you say. But that doesn't make it a chemical as a whole. Anyway, definition schmefinition. I'm not an expert (obviously:) ), so I'm sure you're right and I'm wrong.
Well, obviously a vacuum is not chemical. A question about the definition of chemical: how much of the volume of a gas (or any type of matter, for that matter) can one call chemical. Is it just the particles and not the volume, or is it entirely a chemical? Do you have more chemicals when you heat it so its volume becomes bigger? Or is it the volume at T0 (room temperature) or 0 Kelvin?
If the answer is room temperature, then the bread is entirely chemical, volume-wise as well as mass-wise. I really don't know the answer, actually.
What about the idea that AI might be the only thing that can save us from the threat of climate change? We don't seem to come up with any solutions ourselves, so why not have AI to analyze the problem (in the future)?
My dad used to have floppies with BASICA games on them which almost never worked. My workflow was usualy this:

This is one of the things I found truly visionary in BS: Caprica. The idea that your personality, even your entire being, can be inferred from all the data that's being kept about you. Just, in the real world it's more scary.
BTW, before Caprica there was Gibson's Neuromancer, which featured 'Constructs'. A bit the same, but didn't incorporate Big Data to help create the construct.
Yes, I know (it's kinda obvious). Anyhow, I think I failed to see the sarcasm in maxwell's post, because I saw it out of context (didn't read the OP). Whoops.
I've always wondered about that too. I guess there isn't much sensory feedback other than yourself seeing your bionic limb movements, which might well be enough. I don't know if you can actually feel your foot touch the ground or anything.
Funny thing nobody seems to mention. But the customer, the woman's (boy)friend must have taken up on the offer. Otherwise he couldn't have known it was her. Right?
So, how sure are you of the legality of the things you do? Laws these days are made so that anything anyone does can be made to be illegal. I'm pretty sure that you do more than 3 illegal things each and every day without knowing it, let alone be sure of the legality of it. So you just stop doing anything?
And how do you think the advertisers make their money? If you're not buying the stuff they throw at you in the ads, then someone else is paying for the sites that you visit.
Well tracking is about a little more than just visiting a server. Because visiting a *site* usually ends up in you accessing lots of servers. So while visiting multiple sites, you create sessions with these servers that now know what sites you like to visit. It's not just about being tracked on a site people have problems with, it's being tracked *across* sites.
The problem is that it's not as easy as it sounds to "quickly leave that site". Of course one could block the servers that track you, which is what many of us are doing. Or you could politely ask them not to track you by sending a DNT header.
But that also means that there is no need for a DNT header, but for a DT header. Meaning: I don't know what tracking is, but after you explain it to me, I'll consider allowing you to track me.
If you can present a very good argument as to why you should punch me in the face and take my wallet, I might allow you to do just that, but I doubt it.
I think you would be more offended when I'd talk about the relationship you had with my mother than I would be. It's nice though, that you two are getting along...
Okay, maybe not rudeness, but just lack of etiquette. Instead of "Hi John. Nice weather, don't you think? How's the wife and kids? Oh, by the way, I'm moving to another apartment... [silence]. So that'll be a bit of work.... [silence]" it's "Hi John, wanna help me moving?".
Or something like that. I'm not very good at coming up with examples. It's just a feeling I have.
I also feel that we're being desensitized. What used to be rude IRL but okay online, is now considered okay IRL as well. I'm not sure this is a bad thing per se. Sometimes it makes conversation just more efficient, without all the social cruft.
The problem with modal dialogs in Gnome 3 (gnome-shell actually) is that they obscure the window they are attached to. Unfortunately, this often means it's obscuring useful information about why the model popped up in the first place. I rarely see a modal dialog containing enough information. Besides, when I want to move a dialog, I want to f*cking move the dialog!
Maybe there is a better way to display the connection between the dialog and the owning window. Flashing / pulsating comes to mind, but just graying out might be good enough.

I wouldn't call (outer / deep) space chemical, even though it isn't a real vacuum.

Yeah mass percentage, but just a tiny volume percentage of bread is chemical. They should really advertise that :)
You're right, but then the joke about education gets lost.
"none" is not a number!

Well, have you filed a bug report? You can get an email, you know, when something happens with a bug (fixed, preferrably).
Who the fuck modded this insightful!? Yes, Sherlock, it's the 14th letter of the alphabet. Thanks for your "clue".

I don't know which police report you read, but as I read it, the photos were on the clerk's colleague's phone which he was handed.

Other than that, I'm okay with Gnome-shell.
Hm, I'd say peasants from China are ESPECIALLY hardened against environmental junk.
