The telecommunications satellite that blowed up was the Astrium (Airbus) Express AM4R, which was to have replaced the Express AM4, which was lost (injected into the wrong orbit) in August 2011.
The only way that conciousness could be non-computable would be if there is a supernatural element to it.
Roger Penrose (for one) is vehement in his insistence that consciousness is non-computable, possibly quantum in nature. Certainly there are other ways that consciousness could be non-computable without being supernatural.
It's really stunning how many programmers don't know their heritage - including the idiot who modded GP "troll". GP is a famous direct quote from Edsger Dijkstra.
Yeah, you're a fucking island. You don't use public roads or water or sewer, your local gas and electric and phone aren't supplied by government granted monopolies, you don't have public police or fire protection, your kids, employees and co-workers don't/didn't go to public schools, when you fly you don't use air-traffic control, your food and other goods aren't shipped on interstate highways... I could go on and on, but what would be the point, you're too stupid to get it.
Yeah, you're a fucking island. The rest of us should just fuck off and leave you alone.

Instead of putting the chip and antenna in her nail polish, she could have put it in her nose ring.
Not "mass", but a lot of "curvature of spacetime", the causes of which are (under current theory) completely different for black holes and wormholes.
Yeah. Momentus Big Bang was the one after The Pantsless Menace.

When a lawyer says "It's not the money, it's the principle", it's the money.
It doesn't matter if you care or not, it only matters that Wolf Blitzer still cares.

Hear. Hear. Add in the approximately 4 bazillion "frameworks" and the 9 bazillion JavaScript libraries and you've got the programming Tower of Babel.
Tell that to Edward Snowden.
Here in America, we have it much easier. The NSA does all that recordkeeping for us.
