What makes the two beings distinct? Doesn't it make as much sense to say the same you simply moved into a different body? Isn't the universe destroyed and recreated every instant?
I don't know. And, since it doesn't make any difference to me, I don't care. (Well, I care a bit, because I like to know the truth about everything, but it's not going to affect how I live). I enjoy the life I have as best as I can, and don't worry.
I had the same thing with my computer speakers. Was hearing some music at a really low volume. Never managed to identify it, and it went away eventually, but still.
Crapflooding is a part of slashdot culture, and the editors and mod system handle it fine. Plus the images are being automatically generated, so surely they can be automatically recognised?
I don't think so. What was wrong with ed2k and all the other networks for doing that?
Bittorrent as originally started was designed to make P2P as a whole legitimate, because it could only be used for legitimate stuff. It was made as similar as possible in use to straight http, so that anyone who shut down the central server would shut down the whole thing. This was a deliberate attempt to make "piracy" with it impossible, just as piracy over the ordinary web is pretty rare.
Now I have no idea what the hell he's trying to do.
All the downloading in napster was peer-to-peer. (IIRC it was a straight http download by the reciever) The only thing centrallised was the search database and engine. Which seems exactly what this is going to be.
Yeah, it's doable, but the crowd using bittorrent for copyright infringment are a bunch of neophiles who won't use any "old tech", kind of like bloggers really. They ignore gnutella, good luck getting them to pay attention to usenet.
Linux SMP balks at using two slightly different x86 chips (an opteron 2200 and 2400 or similar), so I think this would be very hard for getting both processors running. You could probably do a board that was mostly shared with two processors - but it would cost a lot more, like that board that fit Intel and AMD processers only more so, and people wouln't want it. They'd just buy the chip they wanted the most, rather than paying a load more.
It means taking a risk. A limb sometimes means a medium-sized tree branch that may or may not take a human's weight; this may or may not be related to the saying.
Physicists tend to be good at applying statistics to real world phenomena because they do that a lot. So if a physicist tells you something statistical you should listen to them.
I saw that exact comment a few days ago. Either someone's trolling and getting moderated informative, or the slashdot comment system is really screwed up today.
What makes you the same person who went to sleep last night? Your conscious experience wasn't continuous, all that really makes you who you are is the things in your brain, the memories and personality and so on. If it's a perfect replica of your brain, the experience will be the same. If you were killed in your sleep last night and a replica made and put in your place, how would you even know?
Well, a fair number of people meet their partners at or through work. So guys in traditionally male-dominated professions are perhaps more likely to have children with a woman in the same line of business, who would perhaps have higher (on average) testosterone levels?
I've never seen a good argument for one style over another; the fact that there are still 4 competing C (and Perl) indentation styles suggests there isn't any best one. You have to be able to read all of them, and, if you're going to contribute to other people's projects, write all of them as well. So having the choice just seems to add more scope for pointless flamewars, and force you to learn more. IME of course.
People can, it just takes a little more effort. No one expects the government to keep the streets clear so that you can have your conversation there. If there's a marching band going by and playing so you can't even hear yourself think, tough. You can arrange a private discussion if you want to.
They have to test it. Unlike many people redhat believes in their product being absolutely stable, and won't release a patch, even a security one, until they have made sure that it doesn't break anything.

How is the person who was killed any more me than the person I remember being yesterday. How are they more distinct from me now than that person is?
I don't know. And, since it doesn't make any difference to me, I don't care. (Well, I care a bit, because I like to know the truth about everything, but it's not going to affect how I live). I enjoy the life I have as best as I can, and don't worry.
Memories and other subtler things, learning, perception even. But yes, if you have a perfect copy of me you can kill me.
The two are completely different. People who have jobs now are depending on them. People who haven't got one are not.

All napster did was index people's MP3s and link to the ones people were sharing. Didn't stop them being sued into the ground
can you make sure people missing this region can't moderate? I've got one too many troll mods for sarcastic comments.
That's a myth that's getting repeated far too much. iTMS is a profit center and a pretty big one, look at their reports to shareholders.
I *want* to buy one, I'd just have to mortgage my grandmother to afford it.

You jest, but people will move over to metric time eventually. It makes so much more sense.

I keep seeing replies about emails, which seem to come from a completely different story. Anyone else getting this?

It might take major changes, but if that's what's needed for security they should do them.
