    Perhaps he didn't mean to say it would succeed, just that it would desire to succeed - and try to succeed. ;-)

    I am intrigued by your theories of the Average American Voter.

    However, I am curious to know how you compare a one-month-old child to a one-year-old child? And you can't say it's similar to a one month old computer vs. a one year old computer, because the child will develop towards the one-year-old "intelligence" level, whereas the computer will not.

    When they design CPUs and hardware that can re-route paths and busses and such in software, then maybe I'll believe that AI is somewhat possible in the future. Until then, computers cannot "grow" or "adapt" in any place other than the software. And software is too limiting to create an AI.

    What has always baffled me (instead of the engine being unable to move itself) is rocket propulsion in space ... :)

    Man wasn't originally designed to post to slashdot ... though only because slashdot did not exist at the time, and needed to be created by man first.

    And was man created to create Slashdot? While CmdrTaco and CowgirlNeal might think so, I somehow doubt it. :)

    Einstein was autistic. Have you ever met an autistic person? They could quite easily be described as "mad ", in certain aspects of their lives.

  10. Re:Screw you, America on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 1

    They've actually just made some breakthroughs in pre-processing the oil in those areas, so that the stuff can actually be used. I think Alberta is planning to double or triple its BPD production within the next two years or something. I forget the exact stats.

  11. Re:Screw you, America on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 1

    Canada has a commanding 19% share of the USA's total import considerations, according to the CIA. Not just oil (I suspect that Iraq and Saudi Arabia would be higher for oil imports alone), but for all imported stuff.

    Canada 19%, Mexico 11.5%, Japan 11.1%, China 8.9%, Germany 5.2%, UK, Taiwan (2001)

    Yay for the ability to buy singles for less than they cost in the store, and not having to deal with the other shit they try to package along with the album.

    (I wonder if the writers ever cruise the net or anything, seeing stuff like this and getting a kick out of it.)
    I've heard that Joss Whedon gets a kick out of it, and I know that Adam Baldwin has at least used the Firefly forums on the fox website ...
