On 13 October 2001, Harry Hammond, an evangelist, was arrested and charged under section 5 of the Public Order Act (1986) because he had displayed to people in Bournemouth a large sign bearing the words "Jesus Gives Peace, Jesus is Alive, Stop Immorality, Stop Homosexuality, Stop Lesbianism, Jesus is Lord". In April 2002, a magistrate convicted Hammond, fined him £300, and ordered him to pay costs of £395.
/sarcasm Oh noes, somebody is expressing their opinion! Quick, call the Wahbulance!! We must let punish and make and make an example of someone who dares display their (outdated) morality views in public. He is the cause of the downfall of society!!! First World Problems
More retarded "logic":
On 23 April 2018, Scottish YouTuber "Mark Meechan" of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire was fined £800 by a Scottish Jury after being found "grossly offensive" for posting a YouTube video that was viewed over 3 million times depicting him training his girlfriend's pug to respond to the phrase "Sieg Heil" by lifting his paw in a Nazi Salute.
Where is the line between comedy and "grossly offensive" ??? With bullshit hate speech there is none.
Being aware of the concepts and/or experiencing it directly.
Knowing, the state of having knowledge, comes about in 2 ways:
- Intellectual Knowledge - Experiential Knowledge
Examples of each:
* I can know 1+1=2 by understanding the concept of numbers, the number line, and the addition operator. Once I understand the concept I can define '+' for 2D numbers such as complex numbers, or for even more advanced concepts like images, for audio, etc.
* The ability to see means we know what color is; men will never know what it is like to go through childbirth; You can read all the theory you want about drumming but until you actually DO it you don't have a clue what is actually involved with using all 4 limbs independently of one another to make music, you don't know what is like to ride a bicycle until you DO, etc.
> At some level, it does know its topic.
No it doesn't. IBM's machine doesn't have a fucking clue about knowing -- all it can do is regurgitate data.It can't formulate any new ideas, let alone come up with them on its own without being spoonfed.
Your fallacy is assuming knowing is limited to a purely intellectual domain.

> All I can say is:... IEE754?... Was that meant as a joke?
/sarcasm Gee, if only there was a place where we could pool our common knowledge, and even better, search it. I think I'll make a web page and call it IEEE 754
I'll even document: exception handling: indications of exceptional conditions (such as division by zero, overflow, etc.), and call it NaN
> As a folk who knows a lot more about math than you,
*facepalm*
Any number divided by zero is UNDEFINED or in IEEE754 notation NaN (Not-a-Number)
Why?
Because if you graph:
* 0/negative x towards zero it goes toward -Infinity * 0/positive x towards zero it goes toward +Infinity
The problem is that 0/0 is BOTH positive AND negative infinity. Which one is correct?
In Mathematics this is called a Singularity. Division is supposed to be closed, meaning a single number divided by another singlenumber produces a SINGLE number -- not TWO of them! Since it is impossible to tell which Infinity is correct: a) both, b) neither, c) positive, d) negative along with the fact that we haven't invented multi-valued variables, Mathematicians leave the division by zero as undefined by definition.
Where the fuck you are are getting this C/0 = Inf + (C-1) horseshit from???
> I love when people pretend that the full, purchase price of "pirated" material is what they "lost" due to piracy, as if every single person WOULD have paid, and paid full price, if they couldn't "pirate" it.
Agreed. If it was up to these assholes they would charge you for every eyeball / ear consuming content.
So when I buy and watch a BluRay does that mean the rest of my family are now magically "pirates" since they consumed the content and never paid for it???
Funny how piracy is never listed in the Year-End Financial reports under "losses" -- because it is some bullshit, made-up-number pulled out of someone's ass.

else why would they be starting over throwing away man-years spent tracking down bugs?

While I agree with you, however, the debate isn't over whether the fetus is alive; these retards want to play semantic games to justify death:
* 1 week = OK. Not-a-human,
* 22 weeks = Not OK. Human.

LOL +1 for Douglas Adams reference.
Typical fallacy of Buddhism. Through the baby out with the bath water.
We all have basic needs -- the desire is NOT the problem.
i.e.
* Wanting to be a better person is a very noble goal.
* Wanting food and drink to quench your hunger is fine.
The suffering starts when your expectation is out of alignment with reality.
i.e.
* Defeatist / Pessimistic attitude
* I don't have "enough" food.
The secret to happiness is to remove false expectations.
Not with loot-boxes.
Why not? (Mobile game developers do it all the time with the bullshit micro-transactions.)
Exactly how else are they going to learn?
It is obvious they _already_ failed critical thinking.
