Flippant, no. Concise, yes.
If you take insult where none is offered, your opinion offers discomfort to whom? I gave my answer to the question asked in the way I prefer to receive answers to my questions when I ask them - you may attempt to project your beliefs concerning my motivations, attitudes, or thoughts concerning what I post or the way I post it all you wish, that projection does not have even a vague association with what my motivations et al actually were.
Not that I believe you'll accept the advice, but you might feel a bit better if you lighten up and enjoy yourself (and others!) a bit more.
They get paid more than we do because they're willing to perform certain acts for money that we would only watch in revulsed horror...
We resort to calling them "horrs" for short, but none of us can get the spelling corrected...
If they put a halfway decent zoom-n-shooter into the mix. Tie Fighter/X-wing, Red Baron, Asteroids 3-d even? If this new controller is as intuitive as claimed, I'm on it.
230 years ago, this nation I live in was under a (different) "despotic regime" - some people decided to take some action, and it changed. The assistances they received happened after they started, not because they whined.
As an individual internet user, I have not ever blocked an email from a political dissident due to its political content. As a website author, I have not blocked anyone from viewing my site.
As a businessman, I respect and obey the laws governing my use of advertising online, by email (I fully comply with CAN-SPAM) and other means as applicable.
The above said, anyone who cannot see fit to play by the same rules can go figure out a different game *elsewhere*, instead of trying to play some bait (political freedom of speech) and switch (illegal spam serving) game.
There is no "divine right" nor requirement to maintain a web presence, to maintain completely open networks, to provide a podium upon which some poor abused oppressed individual can spout their issues to everyone else, no matter how "justified" they might be.... This whole intarweb thing borders so closely to being completely fictional it isn't funny - please *do* seek to force your beliefs concerning how things *should* be onto the current way things are - only time will tell how successful you were.
Please *don't* consider the over-worked net administrators as enemies: The real enemies are those spam servers who bury any legitimate content coming out of dissenting China more effectively than any locally-applied blocks ever could.
Cool! As an independent/home user myself, I can definitely empathize - another individual's rights to express themselves end at my eyes/ears - personally, I'm considering publishing a list of the IPs I block, and my reasons for doing so: as others weigh in (agreeing or dissenting), it could become the ultimate democracy...
Yea, verily! Amazingly, my sig here on/. bumps my link popularity. Makes me wish I had the time to set up a serious competitor to the "big" search engines.
That someone would try to sue a blogger for posting opinion implies their belief in a probability of success: That is the part of this topic I find frightening.
Seems to me that publishing a piece of work where it might actually be read, even if by folks totally un-qualified to read it, let alone comment on it (though that seldom slows us slashbo{tt}s) might be educational for all concerned.
How often does a given certification, or even set of certifications, *exactly* cover the knowledge set needed for a given position? Rather than trust a resume', why not *test* your applicants to learn hor much of what they say they know, they actually know? This of course assumes that the employer knows what skill sets they need and how to test for same....
Shhh! Our attentions are supposed to remain on Iraq until glorious lead^^^^ Prez shrub tells us different - no fair thinking on our own, much less hbeing aware of issues not currently reported in mainstream press.
Who decides when, if someone includes a link to site related to a given blog post, that said link constitutes "splogging"?
Does it matter whether the author may profit from that link being clicked, the resulting page being viewed?
What about the small businessman, trying to bootstrap his way out of his humdrum job by offering "Bob's widget x" on his one-page, written-in-FrontPage site? Should he be penalized for blogging about his learning experiences? Or is the consensus that links have no place in blogs and businesspeople, when they go into business, may not bring their business into their blogs?
...The Farmer's Almanac speculates on the next generation "Beefalo" chip: Running from Longhorns daily into a pasture near you, the new "Beefalo" chip (tm) will multi-thread faster spreading odor and increased fertilization rate. Cores have been increased to 8 semi-solid, virtually discrete units that may be tracked onto the North bridge (If you don't wipe your boot sectors before then). Video processing speed will see a marked increase, although cooling remains a concern for these new chips...
It's not just about growth, it's about rate of growth and fast-twitch responses to statistical noise by investors - "immediate returns" is a good phrase to look at, as very few people can see past those opening weekends. The instant gratification culture will be (rightfully) its own downfall.
Wildly optimistic, perhaps - with infinite propulsion material, your method would, although hugely inefficiently, get you there eventually. Unfortunately, the big brains are still working fuel problems, hence the need for absolute efficiency.
A completely predictable pre-scripted life (or game) where all the details are known ahead of time? Might be some folks' definition of Hell itself.
One would hope that the next generation of games does a trans-dimensional Immelman away from the best bits (and all the other bits, for that matter) of games currently in existence rather than simply condensing them down into a tasteless hash.
100(f) + 2(Lu) = 102 (potential) total known 100(f) + 2(Lu)(other)=98 actual items (if the two given lookups either are false where correct was known or are correct where false knowledge had been assumed correct ) up to 102 (100 originally known are correct + 2 given items are correct).
The way I read it, the only way you wind up with a negative is in trading a potential for an actual that contradicts a previously assumed actual: if it is simply an item already in possession, the *potential* gets subtracted, the actual does not, and entropy is preserved.

Keep current position - take artificial pay-cut via savings/investment program. Retire earlier.

You left off Step 6) for added emphasis?

Alrighty, then, troll feeding time!

Is this where some helpful soul re-posts the link to "The Chinese Room" paper?
I mean, how well have we defined "real" intelligence, to be able to differentiate "Artificial"?

Yes, I do have ideas.
Thank you.
