I get what you're trying to say, but that's not how the brain stores information from what I understand. There is a particular connection, for instance, with 5,000 nerves. It allows more than 5,000 signals to propagate through it since it is factorial. 5,000! or 5,000 factorial is a finite number, but vast beyond imagining. This is why our brains don't "fill up" like your water bottle analogy. There is no reason why our brain couldn't understand what a brain does and how it works, your bad analogies notwithstanding.
Except that no one's brain has ever been "filled" up. And in any case, no one individual needs to fully understand it, just as no one individual knows every step in making a car from raw material to finished product. It's divided into multiple niches so that some individuals understand how to mine iron ore, make windshields, design new parts, assemble engines, etc. We as a species understand plenty of things no one individual understands.
I don't understand your distinction. In the Heinlein story, the Waldos are mechanical hands that move according to how a human moves a glove, sometimes at great distances (I seem to remember one part of the story where Waldo is on a space station wearing gloves, while the mechanical hands are on Earth). The Waldos would be powered by electricity and moved by motors. If you meant controlled by humans, then remote controlled car toys would be Waldos, which would not sit right with many slashdaughters, myself included.
Yeah, my only point is we don't yet have enough words in the English language to distinguish among all the various forms of our non-biological overlords, underlings, and peers. The word robot has been co-opted to mean almost any kind of vaguely anthropomorphic mechanism, mechanical "arm", wind-up toy, UAV, artificial voice, Mars rover, Transformer, etc. Android used to be a viable term, but now would be confused with the OS. Droid is right out.
Sorry, I don't think that's entirely accurate. Wikipedia, among others, defines robot as a mechanical agent that be autonomous, semi-autonomous, or remote controlled. We've had bomb disposal robots for years, for instance, that are entirely remote controlled.
He asked for a solution that was easy to migrate from Blogger, and your answer is to learn to code html? I'm sure he found that very useful. And if you asked a friend for advice on buying a low-maintenance car and his advice was to just become a mechanic, you'd find that equally useful.
My AT+T phone and my Verizon phone have worked fine in the Targets nearest me. I've talked on the phone and looked up prices throughout the store on multiple occasions.
Yes. I don't tweet, watch tv, or facebook. I also read actual paper books, by which I mean non-fiction. I do go tothe movies, but close my eyes and sing Beatles songs in my head during the commercials (best way to beat brainwashing, thanks Dr Zarkov!).
Yeah and I thought it read Gnu Spork Table Too Comb Lauded Wit KFC's Archive Palm Intertubes. Seriously, I don't want to see everyon's spelling/reading comprehension problems on slashdot.
Painting the entire party based on what public figures do is overgeneralizing. Should I say all Democrats are lieing, opportunistic, slimy used car salesmen just because Obama, Kerry, and Edwards are? I spent over 7 years in the Marine Corps, where Marines vote oeverwhelmingly republican, and they are the least bigoted people you'll ever meet. We say LIght Green and Dark Green instean of black and white, because there is only green in the Corps and skin color only matters when you're talking about Sgt Smith (was that the light green Sgt Smith or the dark green Sgt Smith?). I've personally known hundreds of Marines, and have met thousads, and they are finest, noblest, kindest people I've met in this country, and I don't appreciate your attempts at painting all party members in the same way.

Your entire head weighs closer to 9 or 10 pounds. The brain is closer to about 3 or so.
Where do they make the good tablets, if not China?
I'd rather cover my bones in Unobtanium.
Are you saying General MacArthur was pro-communist?
Ah, I see now. Though that would mean RC car toys would be robots, while this:
http://www.amazon.com/Unger-92134-36-Inch-Pick-Up-Aluminum/dp/B0000V0AGS
would be a waldo. It still wouldn't differentiate between an autonomous robot like Data from a Mars rover.

On your iPod Touch which is wifi hotspotted from your smartphone. Not a cell phone!
If that's true, I'd like to steal Star Wars Episode I from Lucas so he won't have it anymore.
Oh ok, got it. I'll just source AC as my source for that then? Post a definition from a reputable source or STFU.

Welcome to the future! It's creepy, terrifying, and bizarre. And no flying cars.

i am on telegraph stop insensitive clods stop could be faster stop
Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, man.
And they can get really hot when you wear them all day, amirite?
accuracy improves with targets that are further away,
Farther. Actual distance is farther. Metaphorical distance is further, like furthering one's goals. Thanks, I feel better now.
so they can waste a trillion dollars doing nothing useful in Iraq
But then Europe complains we don't overthrow other dictators and wanted us to intervene in Libya. Seems we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.
I'm so glad I live in europe.
I'm glad you live in Europe too.
beats the hell out of me.
I'd love to. May i?
