Being able to consciously plan, implies that you can simulate an action or sequence of actions without risk of real failure and therefore learn from it.
Quantum logic is basically our operational logic within the realm of uncertainty.
A neural network has properties of quantum logic already. This is not to say that there is necessarily a processing function of the brain dependent on physical quantum processes.
Philosophically, though, I think the question is, do our classical physics exist separately to the quantum physical realm ? We may do experiments within the classical realm and show that they are separate, since consistency is maintained without a quantum explanation. It is still possible though that our classical certainty is a by-product of relative certainty between observer and observed, and that a quantum logic explanation can be found for the consistency of a classical experiment. This would make the quantum explanation just as useful and in cases where quantum logical behaviours are being mimicked, like in a human brain, it is also possible that at least some of it makes use of the quantum physical foundation to operate in an observably similar way.
It may also be unprovable either way. Not much use really, but we do need to address this belief that quantum processes are limited to the realm beyond the classical.
I agree with you about processed foods generally being bad in large quantities, but don't forget that the brain consumes only glucose - the most refined sugar. straight glucose isn't bad for you as such, it just bypasses the body's refining methods, which is bad for some people, becasue for some bizarre reason, its the only method their body knows to control their blood sugar level.
Most people who have a varied balanced diet can consume any types of sugar and manage it without issue.
His complaints about sound - I always found pulseausio to be interesting, but it just never became stable. I would revert back to plain ALSA with its high quality, stable, but exclusive device lock issue. I tried again with Kubuntu 9.04, I find that when I reverted, bang, ALSA have fixed the problem themselves by incorporating software mixing ! They just made further pulse development redundant as far as I'm concerned. I have 2 sound devices that I manage perfectly all with ALSA.
It will take major distributions a year or so to realise that pulse is just not happening - which is why it helps to try things out before crying about something being completely broken!
Many of his points are just embarrassing. I don't get it, what pride can you take in showing that you tried a hobbyist operating system that flies in the hands of a master and then demonstrating all the areas you failed to comprehend/jury rig ?
Its not supposed to work straight out the box, because you are supposed to find the way to use with in symbiosis - if you are a paid up windows user, please don't complain when you bring home a free DIY airplane and you glue the decals on the windscreen.
Actually, I think shut the fuck up in the first place is the best option - asking a police officer a question can also enrage him regardless of the question.
I find it interesting too, that the term "reasonable" turns up in law so often - "the reasonable man". Its an unfortunate reality of any system of law governing a people of differing opinions. It would be nice if they could at least try to be a bit more objective in the construction of the law, but hey, I'm just one man, maybe I'm not being reasonable by another's definition.
For me that translates as "the more powerful man".
I'm all for human rights and rights to privacy. I believe the best anarchic right to privacy is the right to encryption, but when it comes to public places and what you can expect, I do not believe anyone has a right to privacy there.
Public spaces do not belong to any one person to control - with this belief in mind, CCTV is just irrelevant to me personally.
It can only serve to help me and preserve my privacy where privacy is warranted.

Obviously, the less experience she has had with Microsoft, the less she needs to change her ways from a costly eventually working experience to a no-cost eventually working different experience.
People really do get used to what they know, if they didn't choose it to begin with.
I think those who claim Linux is not ready for the desktop are only able to say that Linux is not ready for *their* desktop, because of the effort involved in changing *their* own ways.
The number of primes between n and n+d is approximately d/ln(n)
Doesn't prove anything though, it is merely an observation akin to this one.
I agree with you though about this prime distribution result being not surprising, but I think its more to do with deriving the numbers and their primes into symbols with bases. Some clever work that involves taking off the first digit from this definition will result in Benford's distribution of digit's based upon each numbers fair representation alone.
The real achievement would be to be show the reason for this distribution without any statistics - the prime distribution is too easy to come by and all associated corollaries by counting.
... yeah but its the fastest priced of over-priced shit you can get - in fact, it may not even be the fastest, but it is the most expensive, so it must be better... right ?
That should be enough, but Sony's plan was to merely balance the books with the hardware - it was making the software turn you around and getting you to bend over, that was the smiles-round-the-board-room moment.
I'll give you a hint, you don't need to be smart to think for yourself.
Can you think for yourself ? Can you speak just for yourself ? Start with that, then you can ask questions. Because if you look through this transcript, you will find you have tried to speak for me many times - keep going and we'll get to your delusion piece by piece.
... but you have already lost by failing to admit you misunderstood my comment:
The use of the word actually negates the use of the word smart, you don't need to be a genius to get it.
Its clearly there, you just avoided it.
One step at a time, or the rest is just between you and your imaginary incorrect friend.
Now pay attention, I'm only going to repeat this point in detail until you get it, Then we can discuss Liam Neeson if you like.
I know you love to win, so just let me remind you, the above is what I'm discussing because it represents a kind of tapestry that can be unwoven - you still don't get it. After many attempts. You are deluded. You can try to avoid dealing with it again, it just adds weight.
The use of the word actually negates the use of the word smart, you don't need to be a genius to get it.
Apparently you need to be a genius to understand what I said. Heh. I find it really amusing that you're picking out a specific word of my post but... ah well, I'll leave that to you to stew over.
You've completely avoided admitting you were wrong.
Now correct yourself on this point, and I will procede to destroy your others.
You mean you haven't been attempting to otherwise?
BTW, I realize you skipping over my entire post was intentional in order to avoid having to face the criticisms you've earned, but please answer this: Going to let me know when I can beta test the features you're gonna add?
I know people like yourself, you won't be allowed to skip over your mistakes if you continue here, I will take you apart piece by piece. Slowly.
I advise you to enjoy your weekend, because if you continue here, I will ensure each piece is analysed to its full before proceeding to the next. You do not deserve your arrogance, and I would be happy to show you why.
I will not accept questions as answers.
I will not deal with an entire post at once. Your redefinition approach will be deconstructed.

Wasn't that hard to see why its advantageous.

Here let me fix that for you..
Traditional record labels do all this stuff, and that's part of where a small portion of the money goes.
Adding dimensions to make the approximate math less approximate does not make that dimensional analysis more correct

Maybe your boss could write to google and let them know just how special sorting is, I'm sure they'd love to hear it.
My country has a surprising lack of elephant ears, maybe we can trade.
We haven't worked out how yet how to use the ears, or if our lack of elephants is related, but these are minor details.
or depending on the code... Python, you stink!

Now, if he was a judge, imagining a law would be no problem.
