I thought it was stated that high intensity sonic pulses was VERY perjuditial to marine life, causing wheels to get lost and potentially killing small fishes
Agree, besides they call AMD the winner because the specs are tighter just to go ahead a said than you can get a better Intel system if you don't restrict to the minimun Viiv ask... So basically their are saying Intel can do better if you paid more... that is not an impresive review. AMD had better performance/price ratio though.
Isn't this platforms supposed to be home theather... my point being it's ok if they are closer to gaming than to "real work". I just don't get what you are trying to point out.
AMD already has the marketing in their pocket

Intel Viiv vs. AMD LIVE!

Or rather, Intel give it to them... at the moment they called their platform Viiv:-/ That must be the worst product name in history along with Nintendo's Wii (great console but what was smoking the guy who named it)
Artificial or artifact for that matter comes from Ars (Art) and Facere/Factus (to do, fact) it is opposite to real, an artifact means a look-a-like, I would have trouble conceptualization from the etimology so I'll use an example: an artifact in a sound track it's a sound not comming from the original recording/sintetizing but from other source, it looks(sounds) like it comes with the rest of the trak but it is not.
Emulate means to achieve the same result by other process: it's the difference between Natural and Sintetic, the sintetic emulates the natural
Simulate means to pretend the same result by whoevermeans you can: it's the difference between real and artifact, the artifact simulates the real
an AI is not expected to emulate RI it is expected to simulate it, meaning that it should not be really intelligent (self-aware, etc) only to pretend it (fool you in close interaction)
As a way to separate Real Intelligence from Artificial Intelligence, the first can decide things like trying to conquer the world, because it realizes that it can do it, the AI might talk about conquering the world in a conversation about that, but would not made plans about it, because it is not really self aware neither aware of the world limits/workings, it can only bluff not try the real deal, if it could then it'd be RI not AI.
It's Artificial Inteligence, not Sintetic Inteligence, I explain: Intelligence comes from Intus Legere (Inner Reading), also abreviated in the verb Intuire and substantivated as Intuitio: the ability to see something and understand it (read it's inner working). From a philosofical standpoint (I mean the base of science, not the silogistic mumble that some people think it's philosofy) the intelligence is caused/located at the soul (phylosofical not religious) while the Ratio Discurrere (Rationare) is at the mind (brain), so while animals (brutes) can reason because they have minds, they don't have souls (hence the phylosofical difference between humans and brutes (technical term for not intelligent beens). So animals with highly developed minds like dolphins (gorillas?-it's still in argue if they are brutes or souled) are Natural Artificial Intelligences, meaning that they can reason so fast and accurately that it seems they can intude (you can argue that they acctually intude but so far the studies only indicate very high reasoning, of course intuition is very hard to probe becuase the soul its out of experimental reach) Thus: Sintetic (man made) Artificial Intelligece are computers (sintetic brains) that can reason (follow secuential/parallel logical flows of cause/consecuence style to achieve a conclusion) so fast and accuratelly that it seems they can intude, since we can't define steps the process of intus legere (intelligence) we only target for SAI not SI, so the self-aware stuff that is also associated to the soul rather than to the mind it's not a requisite for the AI (but the AI should be able to make you think it is self aware, like calling itself in first person and maybe claiming to have a soul, that is why phylosofy about this is so catchy).
Last 2 cents... since our computers proccesing capacity is still compared to flys and coacraches brains (some times optimistically with a rat) and Natural AI occurs at minimum from cats brains and up (being the norm dogs/primates/other animal that have been trained) plus some outstanding "intelligent" species like crows... kinda we are still far from getting a sintetic one.
I think the crusades were more like 400 years, and I'm pretty proud of them, the real crusades, not any campaign that any historian wanna-be call crusade, yeah a lot of people died, brutally that happens at wars, it's not like they had asked for it, when you got invaded and the options offered are summit or die, some people consider rational to fight back
About tithing, I think you quoted something wrong, you wrote the priest tell me "...we give...", usually we give to them. And the percentage is kinda tricky, no one really pays attention to how much they give (not all the time at least). About the use of it, hard to tell, the are different accounts to wich people donates, the two main ones, for poor people... never enough money, and for Church properties, those unnecesary cathedrals and other building never are close enough so people keep asking to build a new one. Also, remember that the most part of those 2000 years were limited to Europe, which at the time was not exactly the wealthiest region of the world, although yeah that is a lot of money, lucky that they have pretty well tracked countable books (trust me on this one, if there were something slightly fishy on the books or the banks the whole world would know it faster than you can say sensationalistic media got something solid on the Vatican, yeah that fast;-))
Why can I never spell the whole comment correctly>
Define better please: to receive work from someone during a beforehand specified time, and not paying in cash but in species (house, food, etc) in equivalence to what a fair salary for the job would be, and provide the same treatment to the slaves than to the salarymen; then yes, otherwise no, the final position against slavery was driven by language, since slavery became of comon use for illegal slavery (when legal slavery became to be known as work contract). Reference for this one is harder, you'll need to check the legal definitions for slavery in europe/asia during the last 2000+ years to notice the not so sudden change.
on sex with 14 year olds
If they are married ok, what have changed are the requisite for marrying, you wouldn't believe how different can be support/raise a family from a low tech agroartesanal culture to a IT based industrial culture. And yes nowadays there are still 14 year old catholics getting married, they tend to live in places when they know everything they need to live by the age of 12 or 13
Unfortunately, the Catholic Church is easily the most corrupt organization in all of history. They are such a sorry example of what Jesus preached
Either you do not know enough history or just no enough statistics, I challenge you to prove that statement, or at least that it is more corrupt than any other organization in all history
If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her
Please don't make quotes out of context... you do realize that just like that it seems like Jesus just claimed that he would be the first one to throw a stone... or his Mother acording to the Chatolic Church. >D
There is no such thing as an "unforgivable sin"
Technically sins agains the Holy Ghost are unforgivable, as stated in the Bible, I think that was what he meant with that specific statement, however, denying existance of the Holy Ghost is not technically what it is referred there as a that kind of sin (bored theological dissertation follows... >P).
If you acknoledge that and also that Jesus is your saviour, then you can join the church. Has any church ever rejected you because you have sinned?
This is correct, but to fully belong to the Catholic Church there are other secondary statement of faith required. For a start that Jesus is your Savior as in He doesn't give food, money, drink or house, but He gives you happines, tranquility (peace can be missinterpreted) and justice (this one requires another long bored dissertation;-))
Thee shall not, you can check the bula sen't in the Middle Age about it.

punishment for adultery - still stoning I assume
Ehhh... no, just no. I'll just guess you have actually never read that fat book the catholics call The Book (in latin)
still accepting payments from people to reduce their time in purgatory? oh no, they're actually talking about getting rid of the whole idea
First yes, limosny still is considered to reduce time in purgatory, but no now is not accepted to receive large summes of money from goverment officers, somehow the last time (middle-modern age) they paid with money from taxes and the hell broke loose in the media, and also indulgences for money were cancelled because they could promote that kind of behavior
denying the existence of ghosts still an unforgivable sin?
No, believeing in ghosts is not compatible with christianism, since it means the soul lives on without the body or with an ectoplasmic body, depending on the defenition of ghost. The Holy Ghost is a translation issue, since the proper one term in english should have been Holy Spirit, which is similiar but not the same, since ghost refers to a bodyless human soul, while spirit refers to an unmaterial (unmaterial and spiritual are different adjectives too) person
even if I accept Jesus or could I still join your church?
No, accepting Jesus only means that you know some history, just like if you where to accept Jackie Chan. To belong to the Roman Catholic Apostolic church (which I assume is the one you're talking about) you have to accept more things than just that a guy named Jesus lived about 2000 years ago
I don't live in US but I'm used to those jokes by now, however I don't know why the subject is Chuck Norris, did he use to brag and say stupid things or something? was it a speech or a marketing for a movie? I'm just curious about the origin of the jokes.
We got the transistor on Roswell, but we wanted more gadgets so we wen't for more and we only got the cellphone... It's time to go for the next big new tech.
I for one welcome our new time-space-warping overlords.
I'm curious, that would be in general, like obstruction of justice if you refuse to open a door for cops pursuing an identified criminal/suspect, or the specific scenario of giving your password for your personal data in a case against you, I guess the analogy would be to refuse to give your diary or personal notebook to the police as evidence to be used against you. If you wrote your diary in code, are you forced to explain the code to the cops?, and I wonder how would this scenarios apply in US whith that 5th thingy they talk about.
Races exit, and I'm not talking about homo sapiens only, they are less defined than subspecies, but that doesn't mean they are SOCIAL constructs (any clasification is a construct).
There is no white and black races, there are about 4 "black" human races and 3 "white" ones, and lot more "yellow" and "brown". I agree that the clasificacion itself is not static, just like when talking about dogs, the classification of a dalmatian or a dobberman is a contruct by an organization (having several definitions of the perfect -insert race here- dog).
But few people would argue that a dobberman and a dalmatian are the same kind of dogs, yet even less people would argue one is more dog than the other, that's the point with races they are biological clasifications based on fenotype, and they are not supose to be casts.
Casts are social constructs and we (humans) have the tendency to use casts and base them on anything from races to propertys, beliefs, genders, ages, etc. and then asocciate the social worth of the cast as innherent (and exclusive) to an attribute used to define that cast or perhaps even to another attribute that should not not even related at all.
BTW homo sapiens is a biological clasification based on genotype, and is the only known (accepted?) species to be human. Human is an ontological clasification (not social), but like any other attribute it has suffered these "cast syndrome" repeated times through history.
Besides there is the cost of the scanning equipment, I can see a supermarket putting it on their 2 or 3 doors, but for a goverment to track all the people the cost (I guess) would be too high. Of course a totalitarian megalomaniac will try to pay but increasing taxes or something but I don't think it would work anyway.
I think actually the opposite, the fluorescent light is better because it has a wider spectrum, however it is true that most people feels them harsh but that is because when switching they use a CFL that lights more than a bulb. Excessive lightning has a strong psycological effect, from indisposing people to getting the easily angered.
