"while North Korea has 28 websites, GTA V has 83 websites. They added, "I think it's safe to say that San Andreas is more technologically advanced than North Korea.""
quite apart from the notion about websites being in "san andreas", is number of websites a good criteria to judge level of technology?

already replied to similar confused tangents in different thread days before. why you reply here as ac, several days late, and reply at wrong point in thread, say all that is required about your "argument"
western media called so called "arab spring", "twitter revolution", especially the egyptian incarnation. they ignored what was really going on(an islamist revolution with mass support against mostly secular dictatorship ) even when truth stared them in the eyes.
1st signs were the attacks against coptic christians during christmas before the so called spring and dictatorship's inability to control them. but western media ignored them. when spring took place, western media high lighted western educated "liberal" individauls , who got aid from western ngos, but totally ignored mass supported islamist parties . at demonstrations they somehow diminished reports on attacks( including rape) by same protesters against westerners, including reporters .
their ignoring of reality was ended only at elections which gave largest share of votes to islamist parties , then to parties allied to dictatorship, while so called western liberal heroes got next to nothing .
we know what happened next; western governments agreeing to a brutal military overthrow of elected islamist government .
so much for democracy , "new media" and internet , and revolution!
"That's a cowardly way to argue and moreover irrelevant to the argument at hand. Please provide some evidence or alternate definition to dispute that many mainstream religions teach (and billions of adherents consider to be facts) that there are divinely inspired texts that provide accurate historical accounts of supernatural conceptions, resurrections, and interventions in human affairs." ?!* you will find the flaw in your logic, if you read what i actually wrote, instead of merging two separate arguments (clearly distinguished in my comment) , and combining that with some statements from ac comment(which even you admit was not addressed by me).
to repeat, i did not address the ac comment's "argument" because ac clearly has a confused idea of philosophical systems and epistemology, especially limits and objections to empiricism and materialism. as do you.
also ac uses words ("myths", "supernatural", "evidence", etc etc.) incorrectly when used in this context. you compound that ("evidence", "mainstream religions", "teach", "accurate historical accounts", etc etc)
but you are free to wallow in your muddled brain if you wish. i prefer clarity of thought. you are free think that is cowardice (while defending an "anonymous coward".lol)
-- as and when you and ac state your "argument" concretely with specifics and examples, using clear definitions, it will be refuted( if there is any valid argument remaining at all when it is so clarified ). for instance, which are the "many" "religions"? why the vague generalization? what is "mainstream" and why? what is "religion"? what is "evidence"? what are limits of "evidence"? and does "evidence" lead to "truth" or interpretation? can there be any value judgments(moral, aesthetic, ontological, epistemological etc etc) if there is no "evidence" for the existence of any value table? do "religions" actually "teach" what you say they teach as "accurate historical accounts" or do they teach beliefs and creeds? where do they "teach" what you say they teach officially ? citation please. what are "accurate historical accounts"? do historians agree on what is meant by that? etc etc.
i am not going to clarify your vague confusions due to your own willful ignorance for you. and do look up and use correct definitions of words, i will not do that for you either. nor can i give you an intro to philosophy here.
btw you are free to remain willfully ignorant too..
"What really gets erudites upset...." "scientific/philosophically educated among us "
self styling self as "erudite" and "educated" does not make any one so.
furthermore, it is clear from your comment that you have trouble grasping basic definition of words such as "myths", "supernatural", "evidence", etc etc. used in this context. (as others here have pointed that out already)
in addition, you seem to have confused idea of philosophical systems and epistemology, especially limits and objections to empiricism and materialism.
so instead of vainly boasting about your non existent "erudition", i suggest, to begin with, you enroll yourself in an introductory course on philosophy, and study epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics, before jumping in to discussions like this.
for Windows: Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Imaging Devices -> Right click on webcam, and select 'Disable' poof! no video or audio. Check occasionally to confirm it's still disabled.
of course, you are being ironic.
best way to disable webcam and mic is to block them physically. as next best thing, one can try removing software drivers used by device individually, but depending on os(any os) to disable them will not help that much.
less than what i got to hack crooked hillary's brain to make her faint today. or to dust pollen around her meetings last week to make her cough. lol @ media guided delusions of hillshill - btw i see you are still not contesting or denying the fact that hillary is a "warmongering corrupt elitist conwoman (a sick one too)".
Well at least, even you are not contesting or denying the fact that Hillary is a "warmongering corrupt elitist conwoman (a sick one too)". Keep on tacitly admitting facts like that, by not contesting them, and you will eventually be cured of your Hillshill disease, enough to admit there is no one who fits description "corrupt fascist conmen", in presidential race.
"Anybody who relies on Slashdot for anything must be an ignorant idiot. TFTFY
Which makes you an ignorant idiot, with an ironically accurate psuedonym and a long history of posting stupid. do you work for Microsoft?.... Classic Microsoft bullshit."
what are you talking about? my comment history will indicate that i do not like m$, if nothing else. (btw i have "excellent" karma here, and what do you mean i rely on slashdot? where? i have been very critical of editors here)
clearly you have a problem verifying facts, and prefer to make silly accusations regardless of facts. no wonder you jumped to defend wikipedia.
anybody who relies on wikipedia for anything important must be an ignorant idiot. writing that truth in wikipedia article on wikipedia, would be counted as vandalism in wikipedia.
"3rd, so far so called "artificial intelligence","machine learning", are dumb algorithms." - Sure, but so are the algorithms that we use in our brains for object recognition and speech synthesis etc. If we ignore consciousness for a minute, all of this stuff is just very complex function approximation, whether google does it or your neurons do it.
that is a mere assumption about our brains. we actually do not know how our brains/neurons work for most part. so it is a big jump, an unscientific one, to think they work that same way as google's algorithms do.
classic case of bloatware. given their track record, mozilla firefox and google chrome would also 'support' some kind of vr soon(may be they already do? idk thankfully).
why do these people so reluctant to allow users to pick and choose the programs they want to use when they want to use as needed.
Accurate speech synthesis,..., is absolutely a subset of AI. There is no way to do it with a dumb algorithm, such as a lookup table. No one has done it without machine learning.
1st, no one has done it, period. even this story do not claim 'accuracy'.
2nd, method involved here is in fact 'a dumb algorithm'. nor is there any inherent logical reason why speech synthesis cannot be done by an algorithm. mere assertion that it cannot be done is not an acceptable reason.
3rd, so far so called "artificial intelligence","machine learning", are dumb algorithms. sorry to burst your bubble.
- btw all that does not take away from my original point, that creating so called "artificial intelligence", and speech synthesis, are two different things.
while more natural speech synthesis maybe useful to create an illusion of intelligence, speech synthesis and so called "artificial intelligence", are too different things. even more relevant learning to mimic speech and word use of others, is just another way of using "artificial intelligence".
"Why Intel Kaby Lake and AMD Zen Will Only Be Optimized On Windows 10 "
that is misleadingly worded.
correctly speaking m$ will only optimize windows 10 for these processors. they can optimize their older os to these, if they want to, but will not due to costs, etc. similarly any other os can optimize for these processors, if they want to. there is no prohibition for doing that.
why editors at/. want to word this only from m$ pov leading to misleading readings(in at least 2 summaries dealing with this issue) is puzzling.
... We tossed that to the side because of shaky science....
don't you know that in usa ( and under its lead rest of the world), hard sciences (that rely on experiments, scientific method, falsifiability, etc.). do not matter, now it is science "settled" by consensus, popular opinion (guided by 'liberal' media), social construction. etc., that rules.
best way to judge relevance and importance of awards/records/prizes/etc., is to think whether you can remember the last winner/holder. if you can't remember, it doesn't matter.
iphone do not "outsell" samsung. and iphones have ever less market share. stick to numbers and face the facts. your/my dis/liking them has not much to do with that.

imo, no.
