well apparently it was in 6 days. I read the holy (as in plenty of holes) babble (I mean bible) and it says the earth was created in 6 days. The 7th was spent resting and looking at the wonders he had created (half ass done work if you ask me). God does not exist, he was created by us!:)
You are one of those people stubornly attached to the idea of God creating things. Who created God then? Did he create himself? If it is possible for a being to create himself then can't the universe simply have created itself?
Read Climbing Mount Improbable or The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins, The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan and to top it off A Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawkings.
So long as people accept the idea of God in their life they will be plagued by lack of knowledge about the real truth. Atheism is the only true path. Religions provide lame excuses to explain all the stuff people are too lazy or scared to understand or accept. Yes people die, yes we feel lonely in this immensity but God is just a fabricated blanket of security because of our fright and our hope. If we used this drive for betterment rather than ignorance we'd all be better off.
Yes you have a concsiousness but that isn't a soul. Yes the universe is filled with beautiful things some of which are hard to fathom being created without design but evidence shows that these are just illusions of design.
Get reading so you are less ignorant of the universe you live in. Stop using God as an excuse for your limitations.
what you say gives a good point but as far as solering a robot together I think it's a waste of time. Neural nets is where I see the future.
But there is one thing that really bugs me though. We're not seeking artificial intelligence but real one. Artificial means it's not the real thing but if we can get computers to do the same thought patterns as we do and become conscious in the process then maybe we'll have to drop the "artificial" part. We'd have found a way to create ingelligence.
Remember what agent Smith says to Morpheus and Neo? We had created machines that were intelligent and had feelings and we made them our servants.
Because they had feelings and were intelligent machines they also had an ego that was satisfied by our subjection. Sure they could have used nuclear power or something more efficient and just killed us all, but they are sick minded machines that got satisfaction out of our subversion.

David Brin is a sci-fi writer and his simple views only allowed him to come to simple conclusions.
Privacy and freedom and not incompatible. The important factor is that people should aspire towards both ideals and find ways to keep both in their society. If like David Brin our ideal is to surrender our rights and hope that no one will take advantage of that we are not only doomed but we also deserve it.
The logic behind that report is flawed in more ways then none.
We all know that a Linux only company is saving a lot of money. TCO is not lower with Windows. The stuff we should take out of it is the true arguments they have.
We should continue our efforts towards making the Linux desktop a reality. It should be as easy to use as Mac and have quality Office applications like on Windows.
By making it as pleasing to the eye as a Mac we could get more people on linux. Isn't that what we want? We need usability and better/more GUIs for day to day stuff.
actually what you think is a keyword here isn't. You can replace crash with any word you want.
The word crash here was just used for fun. You are wrong in your assertion that this was done on purpose. Why would anyone put something in that crashes their software? And why does it only work if it is one of the first 5 tags in the html code?
people are allowed to view the source code and use the software if they are students or universities. If they are businesses or freelancers they must pay a fee for each licence.
Cmon slashdot sucks when @#$%holes like you bug people about a typo. What if people were picky about everything you do? Just look at your web site. First thing you put is that you are a drunk!
Maybe it wouldn't matter much if countries got just got together to protect one another and create technologies for better living rather than technology for blowing stuff up.

yeah the debate on that rages on. It is rather hard to define but I think we mean consciousness. In other words awareness of our awareness! :)
I sometimes feel the same way.
If we (humanity) had just said that God created amino acids in the first place we may have never tried this experiment.
We wouldn't know that 13 amino acids can spring from next to nothing.

do you think Hertz knew that radio waves could be used to create TV, radios, WI-FI?

yeah the constitution also says that congress is the only one allowed to call war but Bush does it whenever he wants.
That was an excellent movie indeed! You are welcomed anytime! :)
according to Charlston Heston the violence is because you guys have too many people from other countries in the US. :) LOL

And how you can fix it!
so how I ask you?

well I build DHTML instenive web applications and I say Mozilla is better than Opera for anything DHTML or Javascript.
Big Brother will love this monitor!!!
Is this some company owned and operated by some of Blair's "close" friends?
This just goes to show that the politicians just wanted to profit in as many ways as possible from this supposed war of liberation.
I've been saying this all along! :)
