Tell that to the people suffering RSI.
I hear my girlfriend complain alot about pains, from her wrist to her neck since even though she just uses a PC about 2 hours a day compared to my +11hours for my work,research and entertainment. After working for hours, I often feel strained too much to handle a mouse. (I'm well adjusted to do most with the keyboard, but some interfaces force manipulated with a mouse.)
I welcome all alternatives which eliminate that, PCs are not to be thought out of the jobplace anymore. There's no need for your employees ending with healthproblems, and eventually being a strain to the healthsecurity system. (not the US-type system.)
People like what they're used to.
That's why we transport ourselves on horses, heat our homes with wood we go chop in the forrest, get home after a long day of work and tune in on the radio while our partners knit our sweaters after a nice meal consisting of the animal we slaugthered in person. And that's why we row across the ocean, or use steam.
It doesn't mean it "sounds simular to psychology 101" it is what you think to read. It's just flattering you praise my ability to recognise psychological patterns and making an analogy as accurate it makes you suspect I speak out of experience or am writing from my subcontious.
There was no personal information in my post, but mostly it seems most slashdotters seem to relate best to "highschool dynamics" and analogies relating to that. I do not speak in terms of "smarter", "the whole school", cause I haven't been there in quite a while. I don't mirror myself to my "popularity" to define myself or to place myself into society (nor my intelligence, nor my education, nor my possesions).
As a matter of fact when you get into the "real world" (I'm assuming you're a highschool kid) popularity matters not. The results you deliver matter, your actions and how you take care of your family and people who have value in your life and not how "cool" people think you are.
You don't have to agree persé, people disagree, not everyone thinks the same. Doesn't mean the other has "unresolved social issues" when one doesn't share your views or misses the motivation of certaincommentswhichimply IE-usage is down and decling. Exact percentages are impossible to show. Cause ofcourse windowsupdate will have a near 100% usage IE browsers.
Now, you say "You cannot neglect 80%" (as that seems to be your point). You cannot neglect that 20% goes out to actively download a browser when one is installed in the OS already, which caused IE to win the browserwars. In my view Microsoft is trying to stop people migrating away and implementing features which weren't planned to keep up. So to you, Microsoft has remained its identity of "staying steady on front in a dominating position" when they sortoflost interest before?
Firefox is the new overlord having IE mimicking the new "cool and usable". IE is en effect being the snotty conceited wannabe guy who has no friends, going into identity crisis.
I'm not the same person as the guy that offed Joe
So, a person in an emotional state comitting a murder hasn't murdered?
There are gradations, things like that are taken in account in court "first degree murder", "Voluntary Manslaughter" and "Involuntary Manslaughter", "impulsive", "planned",... which are taken into account and are judge by people who are appointed to do so. (otherwise we'd have computers in courtrooms processing and constructing pure logical justice)
not the same person as the guy that offed Joe... not anymore
That would be a weird statement, you'll have to be able to prove that with psychology reports. But in reality you are *always* the same person. I'm the same wherever I take drugs, am drunk am clean, am Christian, get an amputated limb,...
If I get a tattoo I'm as well "not the same person", but my (official) identity is the same.
My point is just that you cannot "erase" an act or event on the base of memory... Accountability is discussable, motive is as well, not the existence of the act that you have performed.
Cause, if things are really like that where you are living, then I'm moving there and be free from any guilt, and evade the law accountability by changing a part of me occasionally so all my prior actions are voided. Like cutting my toenails, or a haircut, getting a tattoo, or even have my body generate new cells.
Having incurred guilt; criminal; morally delinquent; chargeable with, or responsible for, something censurable; justly exposed to penalty; -- used with of, and usually followed by the crime, sometimes by the punishment. "They answered and said, He is guilty of death." Matt. xxvi. 66. "Nor he, nor you, were guilty of the strife." Dryden.
Evincing or indicating guilt; involving guilt; as, a guilty look; a guilty act; a guilty feeling.
Conscious; cognizant. [Obs.] B. Jonson.
Condemned to payment. [Obs. & R.] Dryden.
A psychopath may be unable to "feel guilth over his actions", that doesn't mean he isn't guilty (accountable) to his actions.
So it's about memory then, a crime? And not about victims? Or law? You don't have to remember having done a criminal act to be convicted. The moment you commit a crime, you have. It were your actions, you are accountable and responsable and not because of your memory thereof; this has nothing to do with memory. Being "guilty" isn't equal at "having the ability to feel guilty about the action" (and thus requiring the memory thereof).
It doesn't mean you cannot remember something it hasn't occured or it "doesn't exist". I think dino's are awesome, but I don't have a memory of them. To your analogy, they never existed in the first place cause you don't have a memory of them walking around.
Wouldn't that be morally equivalent to punishing an innocent person
Lets try this out, I'll run you over and get you disabled for life. But I'll drink first, so I cannot have a recollection of the event, and forget why we're doing the experiment. You'll try to get a compensation for your grief (I'll drive over your cat too while I back up, just for added fun while we're at it) and drag me to court. I'll state I was drunk, cannot remember the event and thus cannot be guilty. On the notion drunk driving is illegal, I state I couldn't remember being motivated to drive while being drunk and being innocent because of that. That doesn't mean I didn't murder your cat, and attacked you.
The Catherine Wheel was a product of the middle ages, especially popular in Germany. The victim's limbs were crushed with blunt objects. His (or her) still-living remains were subjected to the wheel. This meant the mangled arms and legs were threaded through the spokes. The wheel was then hoisted into the air using a long pole. Hungry vultures and crows picked at the body. Death came slowly.
Why is it so hard to understand that cultures differ, for one. (this seems to be an "All American way of thinking" btw. the USA isn't the center of the world, nor is your backyard. But I don't intend to flame)
And that not everyone looks at the western lifestyle as ideal and as desired?
Is it hard to imagine people being frightened and disgusted by the "American Way"? Is it so perfect then to you? Or are your views so limited that you cannot imagine it elseway, and it feels "weird" and "barbaric" when it's different? Who are you to claim supperiority over someone else by your own limited view?
Most Americans FEAR to be taken from their "constutional rights" as freedom of speech and shiver by the thought to have views and ways imposed onto them. (specially your government, it's like a crusade almost it seems.)
Is it then so hard to imagine that somewhere, far away from your bed, some people feel that they should hold on to their own values instead of being flooded by an influence which isn't considered as benificial? Or want to get some sortof grip and control on the stream once the valves of your commercial industry is opened to their public?
It's the same debate with the American movie-rating system I suppose. Where you want to limit certain influences in certain agegroups. It's not race-bound. But I suppose racism is a must these days, since every coloured person is a "possible terrorist" and should be tortured or killed?
So, since Americans induce terror and horrors to children over the "great ocean", I myself could produce such a cynical one-liner about "protecting your children from televised action", but enacting it abroad in front of the eyes of children with another identity, yet the same children.. even younger.

Only after google went there and Microsoft has to "keep up" again.

I believe you are mistaken in your analys.

When you install it, the computer leaks some liquid substance (yet to be identified) on the floor.
That would be Microsoft's new DRM solution.
I believe you have mistaken identities.

where does guilt reside, if not in memory

I've been thinking the same.
Your comment reminded me at Napster Bad!
The Catherine Wheel was a product of the middle ages, especially popular in Germany. The victim's limbs were crushed with blunt objects. His (or her) still-living remains were subjected to the wheel. This meant the mangled arms and legs were threaded through the spokes. The wheel was then hoisted into the air using a long pole. Hungry vultures and crows picked at the body. Death came slowly.
