How can voting possibly have been made so controversial?
PUT AN X IN THE BOX ON A PIECE OF PAPER!
Simple, effective, auditable. It's worked for the UK for hundreds of years, it worked on the EU elections with hundreds of millions of voters. IT JUST WORKS!
The existing one basically bins up to 49% of the votes. You might find more people vote then, that does appear to be the experience from European countries with better systems.
Exports are cheaper. Harleys now only cost £5000 where they used to be nearer £8000. Course in the particular case of Harley they'd have to reach £3000 to be worth buying but the US does make other products.
Is what they should do with the phone boxes. Something with a little more range, security and bandwidth than 802.11b (suggestions?). Lets face it, voice is just data and the boxes are already connected to a digital network.
On a single CPU system, the X client and server compete for time. It can sometimes be faster to run certain apps over a fast network than locally on the same machine.
On a dual machine or multi-core machine the client and server can both be given time on separate CPUs or presumably different cores on the one CPU.

My point was really in the question. We don't yet know what consciousness really is or how it relates to brain structures.
Some people will say that a computer can't be conscious. Will the AD system be conscious? What does it take before a bundle of cells will start to exhibit conscious behaviour. Are there degrees of consciousness?

What makes you think a large simulation of a brain won't be conscious?
Not in full production yet but should be in a year or so. Once it is it'll be possible to have your own solar power station in your back garden.
35% efficient at converting heat into electricity and the rest of the heat is used for central heating and hot water giving an overall efficiency of 90% or so. If not enough sun, it can switch to gas powered generation.
Will it compete with a cheap petrol generator? Not in the short term. In the long term, it supplies electricity to the grid as well as heating the house, so not only does it reduce your bills, it actually earns some cash.
Tiger I tank wiped the floor with everything. The Tiger II was heavier, more advanced, broke down even more and they couldn't build them fast enough. Eventually the massively inferior Shermans and T34s won due to sheer numbers, they were cheap and easy to make, as well as reliable.
Then there's the AK47. Just works, desert or jungle. M16?
War's rough on kit. Highly advanced stuff tends to be relatively fragile and takes a lot of manufacture. If I was buying kit for an army, I'd be putting words like robust, standardised/interchangable components, ease of manufacture at the very the top of the list of desirable features.
It is chlorinated, put it in a jug in the fridge for an hour, or like the rest of us, filter it through an ion exchange column to take out the hardness.
Not an emergency case or anything, but he was fully treated and out within 2 months of the initial diagnosis despite having to have a complication fixed first.
Within just a few miles of the sea? The Lake Eyre basin. It obviously used to be part of the sea anyway, build a few canals and fill it back up with water, the surrounding areas will become far greener than they are at the moment.
1: London is not wet. It's on the east side and all the weather has already fallen on the western side of the country. I'm from Glasgow. That's wet, it's just north of Ireland and all that weather from the atlantic just drizzles in constantly.
2: The tap water in the UK is as good as it gets. It's as good, it's better than any bottled water you can buy. It gets sampled in thousands of locations and tested for *everything* on a weekly basis. Water quality is taken very very seriously indeed.
I worked at a water purification board during university, each day samplers went out to hundreds of locations across the region and took samples, this was done *every* day, covering the whole region they were responsible for, the samples were all tested the same day in state of the art labs for anything you care to mention, including hormones and drugs.

So, basically you *are* full of shit, but it's your own shit, not somebody elses.

Added to cron and forgotten about... At least until that new 160gb disk you put in to the machine runs out of space.

Far more important. The dollar is weakening, Americans are getting cheaper.

Not that I think Bush has a clue what he's doing. A one trick pony who isn't even very good at that trick.
It's trivial to clone a car. Automated camera fines then go to whoever owned the original plate.

Though I'd bet that their system has been compromised.

London is just about the least cold part of the UK. It rarely gets below -5C. Scotland can be -15C -20C at times.

Information. And the best information comes from the soldiers on the ground being friendly with natives who actually want you to succeed.
Bomb from UAVs and you're just a faceless enemy drumming up new recruits.

It allows you to use a mobile network from a desk phone. Too expensive though at £500.
This one works from outside.

"Well, if the situation you're complaining about is created by government fiat, then you can hardly blame the free market, now, can you?"
Whoooshhhhh. That's the sound of sarcasm zooming over your head.
