I disagree. Any sufficiently simulated intelligence will be indistinguishable from true intelligence. Therefore if it can pass the turing test (passing means its impossible to determine if you're speaking with a machine or human, correct?), how can we determine if its true intelligence or simulated intelligence?
Just like how CRIA couldn't touch demonoid because its legal to torrent music in Canada? Oh wait, they did manage to get demonoid shutdown? Guess the law doesn't really matter too much then.
# The books - a "reverse psychology" ploy - figurng that he's so much smarter than everyone else, and that they'd buy into his "well, if I were guilty, why would I have such books? I'd be stupid!" Narcisssists are very much likely to think along such convoluted lines, and to believe that others will fall for their "explanations" Innocent people are also likely to use the argument "well, if I were guilty, why would I have such books? I'd be stupid!"
Sure enough, during the week I got pulled over for speeding. The cop certainly looked at me funny, but I didn't have a warrant out for my arrest, so all was OK. Right, except was your wife also murdered?
See, having your car flood and removing the passenger seat is pretty uncommon (more common for some apparently, but still fairly uncommon). Having your wife murdered is also fairly uncommon. Again, it happens (more common for some), but on average its uncommon. Now both of these events happening at the same time in the order of the car flooding and then the wife being murdered?
I'm no mathematician, but surely this doesn't happen often enough to be considered "reasonable doubt" all on its own.
So you think Mozilla told Opera within 24 hours of finding out themselves? If not, then how is Mozilla's users made vulnerable by telling Opera earlier?
Most religions(the Vatican notwithstanding) don't withhold their most sacred texts ANYMORE. They use to. Just give Scientology as much time as the others have had and their sacred texts will be public as well.
Nice try. But how much is the computer? Because most people will need one, and when they buy it, the hardware will subsidize the software for the next X amount of years (until they stop supporting it which I believe is typically 5 years).
On the other hand my computer running Linux is more then capable of running Windows Vista.
The solution is easy. Coporations will assign all copyright to 1 person, and that person then gives the corporation an exclusive license for 100 years.
A MUD I can't recommend enough is ArmageddonMUD. It combines the hardcoded rules of D&D while hiding it from players so they can concentrate on roleplaying. Having played both D&D and Armageddon, the latter's roleplaying shits all over D&D.
I was mainly joking about the slew of racist trolls we get here who sometimes have a Ron Paul bent. They're typically Anonymous Cowards as well, like the parent;)
McCain: I don't agree with everything he stands for (he's anti-abortion), but I love his attitude of fiscal conservativeness and straight talking. Sounds like Bush. He also claimed to be a discal conservative and to not want to police the world. Funnily enough, he's spent a WHOLE lot of money policing the world. I don't know why you trust McCain.
Which is why Mad Max is such a ridiculous premise (even for its time). As there is less oil available it increases in price which means alternatives become more feasible from a cost standpoint. Eventually it will be cheaper to use alternatives to oil, energy crisis solved. Now there might be a poverty problem, but there won't be an energy problem.
Yes, that's right. Og the caveman not only invented Fire, he also invented coal power plants. There was definitely no time between the Stone Age and the modern day. Nope, definitely not.
Have you got somewhere from Google saying they don't do that? Because its certainly a typical move companies like Google, so it would follow that Google also does it.
Although your claim at being able to predict the future does make me question whether or not you are a rational person when it comes to Google.
They link it up with private data held by other companies, and then they sell it to other ad companies, who then go on to pester you, perhaps send you target you with potentially embarrassing ads. Or they sell the info to prospective employers.
That may be because Silicon Valley favors bottom-up innovation instead of growth by acquisition This explains why Google is so unpopular in Silicon Valley.
I think what he was doing was applying a new definition to an old word. For example what we've done with gay meaning homosexuality instead of happy. Unfortunately not only did he do this with literally, he also did it with idiom, making his explanation incoherent to the majority of us.
Although using literally to mean its traditional opposite does seem to be poorly thought out.
They won't be. Ultrasounds, pre-birth genetic tests (which I believe exist now so you can determine who the father is) and abortions will see to that. These things will be socially acceptable, as it will take an active pursuing of such a society for it to be created in the first place.
Although what the hell is this "teach them how to be men?" bullshit? You raise someone to be a loving and caring person, that's all that needs to be done.
Music is strictly entertainment, while fiction books have educational value. Riiiight. Well if that's going to be your stance, best of luck to you. I have nothing to say to that (besides the fact I don't agree with you).

It isn't beyond all doubt. But beyond all reasonable doubt. I wouldn't call a 0.1% chance of innocence reasonable doubt.
Just saying.

Does Linux infringe on 706,435 of Microsoft's patents?
Can you take the risk?

Yet most of those things were profitable well within 14 years. Sounds like 14 years is a good timelength.

But Ron Paul hates black people! At least, that's what you've always said.

Well that seems like a silly superstition, but if you insist.
Although do you know where I could find a laptop with a backlight? Because putting it on my lamp is the only way I can light it up.
Of course Houston doesn't. All the males are dead and everyone knows women don't read. Its why I feel safe making this post.
