The complex interplay between the faster linear-sequential hemisphere and the holistic visual-simultaneous hemisphere is what creates consciousness.
This is a long jump to a conclusion. It's much more plausible that there is simply some "program" somewhere that fools us into believing that we are conscious. A much more complex version of:
The trick in any kind of programming is to learn to express *ideas*.
I think is this a significant problem with hand-written assembler. The programmer will attempt to give the code structure and simplicity to improve understandability and maintainability, but a compiler will attempt to produce the optimal code regardless of how readable it is. For example, it will unroll loops and move fragments around and sacrifice space for speed. For the bulk of the code, a good C compiler will likely produce faster code than hand assembly.
As we all know, the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution covers the United States and the United Kingdom. Hell, their names are similar.
All non-bullshit countries give you the constitutional right not to incriminate yourself. The only difference is the name of that right, the minutia that seems to consume your soul.
Come to think of it, you could tell the judge that your password is a confession to a serious crime no matter what your password actually is. That serious crime: perjury.
Just make your crypto password "I committed an act of littering on 2009-09-10 aj8s6wg". When the judge tells you that your password itself isn't protected by your right not to self-incriminate, you can tell him that your password itself is a confession to a crime. If you hit the bullseye, the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
Game developers aren't obliged to fill quotas; all they have to do is make good games.
As far as I'm concerned, they blew their own argument out of the water with the following quote from the story: "with the results weighted according to game sales". In other words, they game makers are delivering what their customers want, and their customers want whitey.
And for the low, low price of just $200-trillion, we can replace our legacy power plants with clean, green (except to manufacture) solar cells. Buy now, and receive a free Ginsu knife set with an attractive leather case.
Atheism is a spectrum not a single point, and I think the only real answer is "soft" atheism. Do you believe that there is a china teapot in orbit around Alpha Centauri? This is the same question as "do you believe that version X or religion Y's God is real"? I can't rule it out absolutely without being as crazy as the religious people, but based on everything we know about the universe, human nature, and the historical evolution of religion Y, we can rule it as being lunacy to believe such nonsensical things. Are you "agnostic" about celestial teapots or would you consider such beliefs ridiculous?
If there is a nuclear attack on Israel, a simple chemical that could repair radiation damage done to the body would be very popular. Any company offering such a chemical could expect plenty of investment by Israelis.
I doubt this drug will be effective on people who have been turned into radioactive vapour.
Ahh, reality with it's damned liberal bias again...
Indeed, I had wondered about that for a long time — how such smart people can be so dumb. But the cause finally occurred to me — professors are idealists. This allows them into the same comfortable reality-distortion field as Leftists. Personally, I am a Centrist, which IS the reality zone on the political spectrum.
All these revisions ought to successfully reveal the "literal word of God" to be a pile of horsecrap. The "literal word of God" was decided by many committees of fallible men many times over that originated from unoriginal tall tales passed down by oral tradition for thousands of years.
I think it's more about that people who are good at math, are intelligent.
I think it's more that people who are good at math are proficient at basic logic, which is all that's needed here. Not being distracted by the emotional red herring of kiddie porn is probably also helpful.

This is a long jump to a conclusion. It's much more plausible that there is simply some "program" somewhere that fools us into believing that we are conscious. A much more complex version of:
10 PRINT "I AM CONSCIOUS"
20 GOTO 10

Not everyone, just the bad guys.

I would say that XML itself violates this "patent", specifically, the X part of XML.

To paraphrase, you are saying that religion is the opiate of the masses.
I can't understand why a totalitarian dictatorship would have an Internet AT ALL.
As far as I'm concerned, they blew their own argument out of the water with the following quote from the story: "with the results weighted according to game sales". In other words, they game makers are delivering what their customers want, and their customers want whitey.
With p=0.05, they should only need to run 20 experiments to get the answer they want.
Social activists always oppose the only credible means of achieving their stated goals. It's a defining characteristic.

The Jewish/Christian/Muslim God does have a proper name: Yahweh.

Also, the rabble-rousing conspiracy nuts would all have been assassinated.
