So being potentially wrong because of ignorance is worse then being wrong because of ignorance because you know for a fact (that happens to be wrong)?
Wait what? I have no clue what this is supposed to mean. What he means is that it is better to be wrong and correct your error then to have a 'faith' based on nothing but folktales and tradition. Science isn't static, what we know today can be changed by what we learn tomorrow.
As for religion, how people can still hold on to that in these days is beyond my comprehension, I've tried discussing it with religious people, but they all seem unable to grasp logic the moment it conflicts with their faith.
Much of what passes for science is indistinguishable from religion.
Only if you are an idiot. Sure, i couldn't comprehend quantum entanglement (for an example), so i have to take their word for it, but i interpret that knowledge as i interpret all knowledge: Valid until proven invalid.
Erm, you don't need a google account to send SMS's nether, i was able to do so without having a google account on my android phone. Unless you are referring to using google to send the sms's (in which case it'd be quite normal to require a google account...)
The speed at which it disseminates affects accessibility. Accessibility affects control.
Yes, but it is not the ipad that is allowing for this dissemination, that's the internet.The ipad is irrelevant to this.
I'm seeing politicians collaborating with each other digitally on statecraft, and I begin thinking about how long before we have the ability to collaborate with them.
And yes, the fact that it was on an iPad is largely irrelevant. If it had been replaced with a smartphone, or a notebook lappy, the story would still be historically important.
Yes, it would, but not because of the tool (the ipad), but because of the global network known as the Internet, which was my point to begin with.
I disagree, while it is different from ancient times, the difference is only in the speed at which we can disseminate data, while in the olden days we had to transcribe or copy the documents, In a sense, this is of no historical value whatsoever. The internet, however, is of massive historical importance because that is an enabler. The ipad brings nothing new to the already existing technology, and is therefor irrelevant.
And that parchment paper was 'changing our schemas' (whatever that means) compared to a chisel and stone tablets.... On the other hand, all those tools serve the same goal, to write down something. Shock! Horror!
The only difference is that they now have a spell checker and can email the document around.
Who cares if he writes it on an iPad, a laptop or a freaking paper napkin, the tool is of no importance whatsoever compared to the document in question. Stop treating the iPad as something revolutionary, because it isn't.
Yes, but by making you lie about your age you are damning your eternal soul, now it's lying about your age, tomorrow? Downloading music. The day after tomorrow? Robbing liqueur stores , and god only knows what comes later....
The kid is an idiot alright, i wouldn't store the files on any device i own, plenty of online places you can drop data that isn't linked to you in any way but an email address, and even those can be completely anonymous.
Seriously, what kind of an idiot pays a hotel bill with a stolen card? You have to go through a whole bunch of loops if you don't want the booking/sale to be traceable to you, that means you don't book hotels in your name with a stolen credit card (or any name for that matter, the cops can always wait for you at the hotel while you check in), you deal with goods and drop off points, mules, anything to get as much separation between you and the transaction. Jeesh, anyone with half a brain knows this!

I've encountered such types.... incomprehensible people

Scan them and copy/paste them with Photoshop!
Google translate to German, then back to English, nobody will ever be able to restore the original message!
Thx for this tip, i did not know this, it never occurred to me to middle click on them, speaks volumes for intuitive UI design i guess...

Android *DOES* work without a google account, actually

Hey, we got Apple for that!
That would explain the odd writing i guess
Check out Ars Technica's coverage, much much better
I saw that youtube link and his website, and i don't even own a PS3, i'm dead!!
Bingo! You win!
No worries, i still live in the free world (Europe)
Yes, because clicking 'OK' is beyond belief.
Lying is a sin! They're leading you into Satan's lap!

If i found something like that attached to my car i'd call the cops, it looks like a freaking pipe bomb!
That sound just like the Westborrow Baptist Church!
Awww... he takes after his daddy

If a child walks through these, isn't that like live child porn?
