That's the key. GGP's argument is apparently logical, but fails because physical activity means "movement of the body", and even though the "mind" is nothing but the emergent property of all those neuron firing in the brain, there's still no physical activity in playing chess.
If you consider "lifting your arm to move the chess piece" to be physical activity, then sitting on the couch and moving your arm to consume beer and Cheetos is also physical activity, but that's sedentary behavior -- very low energy expenditure in a sitting or reclining posture.
IOW, my "opinion" is not unsupported, but a fully supported thought, and GGP's "logic" is full of definitional flaws, and thus a fallacy.
Go do something in R or Python that is useful to the company but impossible or very difficult in SAS.
Then show it to the hard-core SAS users. If they're interested, demonstrate it to your boss along with how it can save the company (and especially your cost center) money.
Well, the leftists might actually be cunning donation seekers, knowing that a demand will outrage left-leaning sheep with more money than brains into opening their 1% coffers to HRW...
Crispr needs to get into a cell in order to do anything. These things aren't self-replicating either.
If we've got to do this one cell at a time, then what's the point, even if it's "only" several hours per cell? Working 24x365, it would take 342 years to rewire a measly 1 million cells.
No, the medical goal has to be to get this working automatically at the nano-scale.
This was written to satirize the number of huge emacs chords, but is actually a valid point: since I only have one hand capable of keyboarding, emacs is a non-starter for me.
And yet was still big into state welfare/education/health and control of the populous. Just like the Left, but without Collectivism.
Heck, it didn't *need* collectivism, since it had power over the ownership class.
And why does the American Right keep complaining about people playing the Race Card, and then quoting Hitler like they uncritically believe him?
I don't recall the American Right (maybe the Faaaaar Right, but I don't pay attention to them) quoting Hitler on a regular basis, and when they do, it's in the vein of, Hitler said he was going to do X, and the Western Intelligentsia didn't believe him, but then he went and did it anyway. Thus, the world can't afford to ignore the rantings of crazy dictators with lots of money.
Specifically, the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and formerly the German Workers' Party.
Both are big into government control (though the Far Right doesn't like to admit it).
The only difference between the Far Left and the Far Right is the choice as to which will solve society's ills: (a) Collectivization, or (b) killing Jews.

And since the brain is physical, mental skills *are* physical skills.
Nice try, but no.

By definition (sport: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature), chess is not a sport. It's a game.
("Sport" is a subset of "Game", but idiomatically some sports -- trap shooting for example -- are not considered "games".)
I don't think that GP is saying that it's bad, just that it is.
Why would a building sit unused for 30 years? (And not get a leaky roof or clogged gutters that ruin the insides...)
There's no need to make it self-replicating like a virus.
Sure there is: to kill $your_hated_minority automatically and discriminately. Which was the point of my original post.
(Not that it would work. Too many whites, African-Americans and Jews share too much DNA.)
Right-wingers do stuff just as stupid...
Laid to?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

(1) Does the NSA really care?
(2) How much helium are they wasting with this stunt?
a crazy Arab, will try to weaponize it.
Hilarity will not ensue...
Please tell us more about how samples indicating a dominance of meat and flesh are indicative of an "omnivorous diet".
Not enough samples. Their diet was probably highly seasonal, with not too much plant matter in the winter.
Don't forget sesame seeds...
it is reasonable to assume that they were ADAPTED to eating veggies
The other Homininae digest plant matter, so why should we think that Neaderthal did not eat any plant matter?
To outside observers in other universes, our universe is crushed! We just can't tell because we, too, are crushed.

Did samzenpus even follow the link?
and was totally opposed to all of those things

All to defend freedom and democracy,. of course...
Remember, this was the 1950s and 60s: as long as it pissed over the ragheads & Russkies, no one really cared.

I heard that the army uses helicopters not because they want to but because they have to
No... they actually want to use helicopters, because they fill important niches that fixed wing craft suck at.
(The purpose of the 1948 Key West Agreement was preventing the Army from re-forming their own air wings, under their own control.)
Hmmm. I erased that and wrote a completely different paragraph.
(Forgetting what I submitted and what I forgot to submit is the price I pay for trying to do 3 things at once...)
