    The problem is they don't have good definition of intelligence. Until you have a definition of intelligence you won't know what whether not a computer exhibits it. FYI it has nothing to do with prediction. It's understandable why computer scientist would think that but talk to a Neuroscientist and they can explain why it is not.

  4. Yes - yours. It will depend on your coverage but I have definitely noticed signal strength has not improved.

    RTFA: "top-of-the-range smartphone is not as good for basic communications as the mobile you used a decade ago.

    ...a handset costing a fraction of the price typically provides better signal performance for voice calls and texts. "

    So your comparison is wrong. It's about basic functionality that the newer phones perform poorly. Read the article sometime.

    Bullshit Potsy. If a HDD fails you can recover the data. An SSD, no. Failures can happen anytime. A drive failure is not always "announced" and drive's service time being shorten through standard drive usage is unacceptable. FYI if you compute takes awhile to boot - you might want to look at your operating system and the programs that are loading.

    LMOL yeah ok and how many times can you read and write the SSD? Indexing? The speed thing is fucking bullshit. It's for little children trying to justify their shiny new toy. When you have to limit the read/write operations because they drive won't last, you do not have a better hard drive. Moron.

  10. It is not the law. H1B Visas are not meant to replace US worker force but to supplement the the workforce. It also expressly forbids paying workers lower wages. Look it up sometime. The problem is enforcement and the companies that game the system.

    And that violates the rules of the H1B Visas. You might want to read about it sometime. It expressly forbids hiring a worked for lower wages. The program is meant to supplement not replace the workforce.

    Actually Roddenberry wasn't the cause of the problems. There were a lot of meddling hands in the process and a lot of starts and stops to the project. The second one fared better because the decided to do a movie and settled on a proper plot.

  21. Re:For those bitching about the "Special Editions" on George Lucas: "I'm Done With Star Wars" · · Score: 1

    Really Potsy? That's not legal so you can fuck off. You do not have license to modify the movie. The simple fact is the original theatrical releases could be released on bluray but Lucas has prevented that because it "interferes with his vision." Hopefully Disney will release them because Disney likes money.

  23. Re:George Lucas did not create Star Wars on George Lucas: "I'm Done With Star Wars" · · Score: 1

    Good god get your head out of your ass. The prequels sucked because they were bad.

    The crap George pulled was re-imaging, again and again and again the original movies to fit in-line with the prequels. NO ONE EVER DID THAT. People slammed him for that. Most notable South Park - where the creators mentioned they never wanted to do crappy cut-outs and now that they have super expensive CGI then can make the show they way they wanted. Lucas fucked up. He couldn't leave it alone.

    Without the fans, Lucas is just another art school hack.

    *sigh* sad but true. We can hope that Disney's money grubbing hands want to milk this franchise for what it's worth and will release the theatrical versions of the originals on bluray - they'd be passing up a goldmine if they didn't.
