The primary tenet of behaviorism... is that psychology should concern itself with the observable behavior of people and animals, not with unobservable events that take place in their minds.
I'm not sure how the phrase in question is a "limit", but it appears that Behaviorism would dictate that they are logically identical?
Seeing as they haven't even started making Iron Man 4 yet (are they even making a fourth one?), I would like to subscribe to your time machine newsletter.
The summary made it sound like this test is specifically for Alzheimer's, and if Alzheimer's is not really preventable and likely won't come on until the kid is 65 and I'm dead, how does knowing help *anyone*?
Users always say it's faster. If we really want to sacrifice all things on the Altar of More Speedifying, why don't we just remove everything but one giant button that you press and it gives you an orgasm? That's what everybody *really* wants, right?
No. I want the ability to use my fucking computer LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. I don't own a tablet and don't want one.
Have you actually disassembled (de-assembled?) anything before? Admittedly, I haven't, but I *have* done assembly programming, and there's no such thing as a trivial assembly program that does more than print "Hello world." Yes, maybe it's simpler than a commercial game, but you're still dealing with completely unlabelled registers and memory addresses in most commands and almost total lack of syntactic sugar for readability.
I take issue with your flippant use of the word "easily" but acknowledge that it could be done.
open up the binaries in IDA Pro and figure out if the bytes written there on Windows truly are random or if they are not.
One of the very mechanics that TrueCrypt relies on for its plausible deniability for hidden volumes is that mathematically it is very difficult to prove whether the data is random or encrypted...not to mention the difficulty with computers and ever generating "truly random" data, which I believe there was just an article about this week.
If they had the ability to break TrueCrypt encryption, they would want people to keep using TrueCrypt and thus not say anything.
But both that, and the "doubling hard drive capacity" bit is ignoring the possibility of ridiculously expensive tools that allow one to laboriously do thing normal people can't.
Well, technically there's nothing stopping people from "decompiling" the binary to its assembly code, but of course that's a massive pain in the ass for any non-trivial program.
Pretty much precisely the reason that everybody gives me weird looks when I talk about Assange being cornered, I think; apparently people think it would be okay to bust in, drag him out, and have him convicted for rape and extradited to the U.S. and vanished forever. Not that it seems like he has a lot of other options than that or spending the rest of his life in the embassy, though...
Seeing as he's the commander-in-chief, it has been the tradition lately for him to send the boys into the not-wars without having them declared at all, I think. And yeah, I'm not a fan of the drones either.

I think he actually meant Behaviorism.

And while we're at it, I want a million dollars and a pony.
I thought Finnish had like 6 extra tenses/conjugations/whatever we don't have in English, though? That's just not one of them?
Um...both the George Bushes are still alive.
And?

I have a very hard time believing anyone who has actually studied the history of the Catholic Church could be so naive.
There's no 'R' in 'SQL'...wouldn't it make more sense to pronounce it 'squeal'? And I believe there is a Squirrel SQL client out there somewhere.
If you had even read TFS, you'd know that *they didn't.*

Well, I wouldn't be switching away from Ubuntu if they hadn't pulled the exact same Windows 8 "I shit all over your standard desktop workflow! Ha ha!"
XFCE forever. It Just Works (tm).
I actually first experienced a network aware gui
For some reason I just imagined a sexual encounter with an AI from the way you worded that....Winning?
A homosexual robot?
Unfortunately, their votes count the same as anybody else's, i.e., not much.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Don't be a bigot--they totally have crime over there.
You're one of those people who mis-/overuse the word 'hypocrisy' that I want to stab in the face.

I wouldn't call any of those but the first a 'blade failing' as you did above, though.
Makes me glad I'm not one of the engineers tasked with making these things stable.
It takes a special brand of incompetent to that obviously fuck up an article *headline.*
