Tell that to the Asian countries. They have growing Info Tech industries that they depend on to help them climb the world economic ladder. Don't forget that America tried to impose its IP laws on Taiwan. How are countries ever meant to grow past primary industries if the first world places huge restrictions on IT?
Well... patent the idea of claiming prior art on a patented idea.
No No No you can't patent anything that has been done before because someone will claim prior art. You need a fresh new idea like this.
An application for a patent on laying down ideas in an electric format such that said ideas refer to each other in a way that in a temporal perspective the latter ideas get more obfuscated from the origional idea and that said ideas relate to the application of self referential patent of the entire set of ideas.
Now I can go and die in piece knowing that I have benefitted mankind.
Better for the fictions theories to become fallacy than fact.
Having the theory disproven at a later date doesn't move the novel from genre to genre. It is the scientific culture it was written in that makes it science fiction. But if you read such books ( I read a lot of old SF ) it is better that the theories become a fallacy. For example would you rather read a novel that hinged around people who carried around personal communicators or laser weapons? Both of these technologies have been around for some time now but we don't see laser weapons in big use because it is impractical. But it is more interesting to read about laser weapons than personal communicators (think mobile phones) because the lasers are unreal whereas the communicators are everyday items in a modern society. The further from the mundane a thing is the more fun it is to read about (At least in my opinion). So the worst thing that can happen for a SF novel is the thing that it hinges around to become mundane.
That's what makes these algorithms so damn cool -- they work just like life. Do exactly what it takes to make it to the next level.
These programs are working towards a goal that the expirimenter asks for. Notice the article says he wanted them to breed an oscillator. This is not like the biological theory of evolution. Otherwise the programs would hardly ever produce anything useful.
Not to mention they work in much simpler systems than real life.
But does being Intelligent mean that something is alive?
In a lot of asimovs works the robots are intelligent but they are not really alive. Humans have such a big thing for anthropomorphism its not suprising that we think such things.
The probability of an event happening does not affect whether the event actually happens.
He asked for the occams razor answer. I gave it to him. If you apply occams razor to this situation then you will dismiss the theory about it being formed by martian life.
2) On earth it's only directed by microbes, on mars the laws of physics permit it to happen without direction
This one is more probable because you are more likley to discover a new law of physics than you are to discover life on another planet. Just because you theorise in the possibility of life on another planet, doesn't make the possibility any more probable than it was before people made theories about it.
In the past 100 years how many times have people discovered new physics laws vs discovered life on other planets?
One of the few things I believed in whatever Star Wars episode that was (New Hope?).
Return of the Jedi. Which features the impressive battle on the forest moon of
endor.
AT-ST were destroyed by a combined ewok and rebel alliance army. Methods used were logs, and ropes mainly. The AT-ST were tripped or smashed.
Empire Strikes Back. Battle on
Hoth. Some
AT-AT were destroyed by the Rebel alliance as the Empire moved in on their base. The Alliance managed to evacuate on time.
Snow speeders harpooned the legs and then flew around the AT-ATs until they tripped over. Luke also destroyed one with his light saber and a grenade IIRC.
First of all, this is not as obvious as Lewis claims it is. Jesus' claims about his own divnity are controversial, not straightforward, Lewis' reading is hardly the plain or only one.
This is plain wrong. Jesus said he was God to the Jewish people of the day. Just because you do no understand the cultural idiom of what he said doesn't mean that they didn't.
He said I am using the same Greek words that are used to denote God saying I am in the New Testament. It is similar to going to Suadi Arabia and saying that you are the Great prophet. Just because it means one thing in our cultural context doesn't mean the same applies to another culture.
Again, I must reiterate: No goatse links. Thank you.;^)
As much as we all hate Goatse links there is quite a strange link between Goatse and this article.
Goatse is hosted on the cx domain. Christmas Island, which may one day be a
space port It also another part of Austalia's dirty "Illegal immigrant"
refugee handling system of which
Woomera is another part.
Just remember you are not Australian if you can remember the words to the national anthem and know who the first prime minister was.
I personally feel that the OS also has a part (a major one though) in this.
I would say that the OS is majorly responsible. The OS should have specifications for how to install, where to install and how to uninstall an app. So that app developers can read it.
Then the OS should enforce the RULES by supplying its own installer and not allowing third party installers

You could copy your brain into a computer while your body sleeps or excercises, you could get more done that way.

make xconfig has nothing to do with compiling the kernel.

Or you could just use modules. Compile it, load it, no reboot neccesary. Perhaps you need to become more familiar with Linux before you talk about it.

Depends on how the story is spun. Most people will believe anything they hear especially from the media.

I followed you up until that sentence. In what way does the simple universe modelled inside the computer equate to the complex real universe?

I'll think you'll find that it is the US military. The above quote is either ethnocentric or ambiguous.

I got through the dumb industry site to get the report. hyshot accident report
I spent some time looking for the origional crash report. Mentioned in this page
ABC News Space
At the moment I can't get the report maybe later
[1] Yes I know its not really a rocket.
