It is entirely possible that intelligence is a self organizing property of our brain. if we could accurately simulate the human brain, it is possible, (probable is another story)that a strong AI could develop on its own.
What I took from the wikipedia article is that these astrocytes are responsible for neurotransmitter release and reuptake, these chemicals, based on my (admittedly limited) understanding are the primary movers and shakers in the brain.
Serotonin, for example is very deeply related to mood, hence why many prescription anti-depressant/anti-anxiety drugs are effective.
If my understanding is correct,(and it may not be)then astrocytes perform much more complicated function than a power cable.
As an employee of a newspaper, maybe I can shed a bit of light on the subject. Generally, if we are excerpting fewer than ten lines of an AP article, we will just attribute to AP, however, if we use more than that, we give a byline to the individual author and AP. I believe this is standard industry practice.
A grand Jury has to return an indictment before a trial can be scheduled.
The process basically goes like this. A person is arrested. The DA decided whether or not to press charges. This generally has to happen within 24-48 hours or the person is released from jail.
Once the DA decides to press charges, he has to get an indictment from a grand jury. The grand jury basically determines whether the prosecutor has enough evidence to proceed to trial. If the prosecutor does not get an indictment from the grand jury, he cannot take the case to trial.
I think it's just a method of preventing malicious litigation from the D.A.'s office.
However, I'm not a lawyer. I got most of this from Law & Order reruns, so take it with a grain of salt.
Then get off your lazy ass and change the law. The Civil Rights Movement didn't succeed because Martin Luthor King, Jr sat on his ass all day, then occasionally stole a candy bar from the corner store under the guise of "justice."
No, but the very core of the civil rights movement was civil disobedience. one could argue that downloading copyrighted materials on bittorrent is a form of civil disobedience.
Sorry to knock down your straw man. I'm sure you can prop him back up again
Even with MSI files, there is typically a setup.exe that ensures that Windows Installer is available at a minimum version.
Exactly. Some installers work better than others, and even MSI, the only one actually bundled with windows has to be periodically updated.
The situation in Linux is comparable. You have Yum, Apt-Get, whatever package manager slackware uses, and Portage, just to name a few.
Yum is developed for fedora, but you can install yum on a debian system and use rpms. Similarly, Apt-get is designed for debian and derivatives, but you can still install apt-get on a redhat system to use.debs.
Gentoo offers instructions on installing portage on a slew of different distros.
You can use whatever installer method you want, but you have to install it first. Just like the Microsoft Software Installer version whatever.
The "Mormons" in El Dorado weren't the same religion as the "Mormons" in the OP. Oh, get real. While I'm not a mormon, it is true that the FLDS are about as similar to LDS as Catholics are to say Church of Christers.
By the time you are far enough away from the gun to be able to hear the boom of the bullet over the crack of the gun, I would imagine that drag will have decelerated the bullet enough that it will no longer be traveling at supersonic speeds.
If Ender's game is such a pile 'o' crap, then explain how Ender's Game also won the Hugo. As a matter of fact, it was the first book ever to win both.
Granted, a lot of Card's work is ultra preachy, and his later work is little more than a mouthpiece for his mormon and far right wing political views, but Ender's Game, Songmaster, and Seventh Son were all excellent.
not enabling mp3 support by default is, in most cases, less an issue about ideology, and more a concern about being sued into oblivion by Fraunhofer over the patents on mp3. Since most linux distros aren't sold, the maintainers cannot afford to pay a licensing fee for every copy downloaded.
1440x90 would be a really wide, and very short screen. now 1440x900, which I'm sure is what you intended is not all that odd a resolution, esp. for laptops.
It's cool Australia, I live in Texas and when I went to Disneyland on a band trip 10 years ago, I was constantly asked by floridians about my horse.
So I just ran with it and told elaborate stories about mucking out the school stables, my great aunt ethel who lost a finger feeding her horse, and how my dad got run over by a steer.
Slashdot Mirror
might be a good tool to help the USPTO with their backlog.
The movie very well may have come out in 1986, but the plot of the movie is that they travelled back to 1984.
try 24 years, and he said at the time that it would take decades to figure out the formula.
Will the real twitter please stand up?

These days most modern distros seem to prefer dhclient instead of dhcpcd
actually, unless you push them off, you'll probably be charged with manslaughter or negligent homicide. murder generally requires preconceived intent.

no, he was using an abductio ad absurdum argument to point out the unreasonable nature of penalties for copyright infringement.
Instead of trying to trivialize the potato thefts, he was trying to show how ridicuous the fined for downloading music are.

You can't lose a copyright for failure to enforce or selective enforcement. I really wish people would get this straight.

Lycos and Excite are still around? wow.
imagine a beowulf cluster of flying chairs
I believe that he does go by Scott to his friends and family, so you're cool.

methinks you missed the joke.

Too bad, then, that the United States is not a democracy.
Look up Representative Republic.

no, what he is saying is that more people would be trying for the macbook air, because more people would want to own a macbook air.
