I wish you windows/mac evangelists would stop spewing nonsense about your inferior UI, MacOSX is so stupid it doesn't even use the "file" command built in to tell something is a text file so it can open it in the text editor! High IQ morons making that stuff
I find MATE superior for my work than the bloated Mac OSX which doesn't even have all the necessary default directories in the Finder
I'm sure it could run Linux Mint, good enough. I have a mac at work and my wife has one too. They're ok but my god has the UI become too complicated over the years diverging from the initial simplicity. Just taking a picture of a window to the clipboard takes a lot of keys
actually we've reached the point where square miles of solar cells in desert are superior solution than fission power. The energy can be stored. That's a real solution with existing tech.
I've worked in nuclear power industry but now we can do better.
there is no longer a need for nuclear fission power
Let's start with yourself then. Please insert a steak knife one inch into the palm of your hand, and experience what no amount of interconnected transistors, mechanical relays or fluidics ever could.
I'm married with teenage children, I don't rail 24x7 on reddit against systemd, yet here I often point out its garbage. Maybe your stereotypes are worthless. And maybe you are a shill for inferior engineering led by a failure of a developer, e.g. systemd
FOSS now allows people with inferior ability to ruin projects, that's how systemd took over Debian via a group of SJW given a megaphone
The GNU side of FOSS that provides Linux OS infrastructure is now about political correctness and not hurting feelings rather than technical excellence
nothing insane about pointing out the inferiority of a product
Fallacy, a neuron is not like any electronic device, and is not a digital device. I am not claiming anything is magical, only not duplicated and not possible to implement with digital electronics.
you blather on but do not address the fact that no electronic device is in any way, shape of form similar to a single biological neuron. You are the one failing at logic.
Any modern computer can be implemented in mechanical systems such as pneumatically. No amount of connected pneumatic devices will be self-aware or feel pain.
think, man. you've brought nothing to the argument thus far
The money grubbing health cartel gets to keep their mitts in the loop this way; in plenty of countries one can walk into a store and buy birth control pills with nothing needed but money (and about a tenth of what is required here). The benefits of allowing that for the majority far outweigh any risks to a very few (cue med student who will wail the standard B.S. against why that shouldn't be allowed, but those concerns don't apply to 99%+).
Absolutely false, there is no similarity whatsoever between the neurons of biological systems and the transducers of robots. repeat high school please.
The difference is not complexity, the internet has more switching parts than a living things neural net yet is not alive.
our ignorance is astounding. you are the one projecting a faulty mental model onto electrical switching systems
They put shit in it, taking advantage of wealth and power they have. The pollution is spreading to all Linux distros. No, the answer must be more comprehensive than just not using the product as the harm spreads to all open source, this projects and the kind of defective minds that produce them need to be shut down
I still would reject even your definition as it's possible one of todays supercomputer with proper algorithms might pass Turing Test, but would still be without feeling, mind or being. Our machines don't have that; no digital computer will.
this is not april fools article? Any robot has no more feelings or mind than a hammer; they don't know this? Maybe have rights for animal plushies too because they look cute?
I recommend these lawmakers be euthanized before they further pollute the gene and mind pools
Magma (from Greek μÎÎμα, "thick unguent") is a mixture of molten or semi-molten rock, volatiles and solids
Life: characteristic distinguishing physical entities having the biological processes of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development and homeostasis
You consider tectonic or atmospheric activity "living"?! Natural processes involving movement aren't the definition of life. You think water or meteors are alive because they move down under gravity? You truly are an ignoramus.
insurance companies know how to structure rates, been at it for centuries.
also, the cars we have now are vulnerable to hacker takeover. nothing new there except I expect the autonomous ones to be more hardened just because of manufacturer mindset
so the benefits outweigh the negatives, as I said.
man is free to use the resources of earth as he sees fit, nothing immoral about it.
Earth is a non-living giant rock with extremely thin layer of biosphere on it. The biosphere isn't a single organism and doesn't act like one. Your stupid romantic greenie bullshit doesn't correspond to reality.
the tech has existed for a while to assemble sentences from sufficient collection of recorded phonemes; with Montalban's film and television works from 1941-2009 I'd think all the building blocks should be there for building any sentence in two languages!

hmmm, maybe they could become the leaders in renewable energy storage? the world needs such tech badly, just sayin'

WRONG! that captures the screen, then you hit space to get window shot
what a bunch of bullshit
I've been using mac since 1992
interface is getting absurd

meanwhile the race will be carried on by normal men and women for millennia.
with capitalism we have insurance pools that do that, too bad we had to put so many losers and parasites in the pool

Redhat is crapping in the open source pool, and the sewage has spread
cut the bullshit.
Redhat sponsors Fedora.
Redhat pushes badly engineered garage like systemd and GNOME, including in Fedora.
Fedora is where RedHat tries its random brain farts out on the redhat guinea pigs, aka Fedora users.
that's fine but I hope you don't put that GNOME crap on it, use a good desktop like MATE or Cinnamon
