Sure it does. "This is the address bar. This part is the hostname. 'http' means you're in danger, 'https' means there's a bit less danger, a green bar with the name of the company you're trying to do business with means there's even less." "Don't open unexpected email attachments, no matter how much free porn they promise." "If the lights on your modem are always on even when you're not using the computer, get the computer looked at by a professional."
This is the idea. Not so much computer "driver's license", as computer "driver's ed."
I believe they are "captured." Except for pawns. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to "redeem" one of the pieces with a pawn.
Just FYI, the piece you place does not have to have been previously captured. This is the reason a lot of sets of pieces come with two Queens.
How this affects the analogy, I have no idea...
... these are the same people who believe that a computer can "think" about chess, instead of just searching through N number of plies in T time, then offering the best solution it has found in those constraints...
Who says that this is insufficient for "thinking"?
I think understanding the Chinese room paradox as having provided a solution to this question is a misinterpretation. The best thing to take away is that "thinking" is not well defined.
There are quite a few dubious claims in that article, but the most unbelievable is the implication that Bush knows that a country called Paraguay exists.
The only way to make your statement "work" is to stubbornly fail to acknowledge any other possible meaning of "day" (of the "seven") in a highly-allegorical book.
Right on, brother. I am always surprised when I encounter people who stubbornly insist that the biblical god actually exists, refusing all allegorical interpretation.
"Kill Bill" and "The Passion of the Christ" were both rated R, weren't they?
There's a wide range of stuff that's considered "mature." Some of it is mindlessly gory, some of it seriously handles mature topics.

I've heard that if you kill your loan officer right after you get the second mortgage, you can take your money back.
The full-price of the iPhone (The physical cost of the phone+the hidden cost of being stuck to AT&T, in terms of rates, service availability, contracts...) is higher then the economical efficiency point.
I think you mean the point of price equilibrium.
AT&T certainly has limited resources (of bandwidth or capacity; I'm in no way familiar with this industry, so consider these simplifying assumptions) for providing accounts to cell phone owners.
Since AT&T must provide an activated account for each iphone purchased, you could consider the number of iphones sold, 270k (from an earlier post; may be incorrect), to be the minimum number of activated accounts "produced" by AT&T. If only 140k (from the same earlier post) are "purchased", the remaining 130k can be considered to be a surplus of activated accounts. A surplus would indicate that the price that the activated account is offered at exceeds its equilibrium price.
I would venture to predict the following:
The company (I don't remember their name) that will charge for unlocking the iphone, will not charge more than the difference in price between AT&T's service and the service of the next lower priced, equally featured (minutes, coverage, customer service, etc...), competitor's service; if the company is to unlock 130k iphones.
Or, if AT&T's price is the same as their competitors:
The price that the company charges to unlock the iphone will characterize the value of the difference in the features between AT&T's service and its equally priced competitor, again, if the company is to unlock 130k iphones.
There is nothing impartial about pardoning someone.
The act itself indicates that the individual being pardoned has either already been convicted by a jury or that his conviction is a forgone conclusion.
The recompense is that it is all public.
We all know that Libby lied to a grand jury;
that he did it to obstruct the investigation of a felony;
that he worked in the white house at the time;
that he was convicted;
that that the supreme court recently upheld a harsher punishment for the same crime;
that his appeal was not heard;
And finally, that the president, knowing all this, chose to commute his sentence.
What is an "evolutionist"? I know arithmetic, but I am not a mathematician. I understand classical dynamics, but I am not a physicist. I am aware that the human heart has four chambers, but I am not a biologist.
I would suggest that you substitute the accepted term "they" in place of "evolutionist".
Feel free to use any of the following common constructions: "They are all against me." "They are all blind to the truth." "They are all out to get me." "They are always watching me." "They have implanted a radio transmitter in my genitals."
And yet he's out-evolving you. By having 7 children his genes are going to push yours out of the population. He's just using a different proliferation strategy than you, one that emphasizes quantity over quality.
Actually, maybe it's a good idea that his kids don't learn to much about evolution.
Might be bad for their self-esteem.
I'm not trying to split hairs.
Regarding the main discussion, I would wager that the outrage that accompanied SCM stemmed more from the perception of the video game medium itself as trivial, and less from people's distaste with Columbine. You can express something really painful and sensitive in a novel or an opera with out much criticism, or even a movie (with a little more criticism), but I don't think your average person feels that a video game is a serious enough medium to carry that weight.
There's got to be a first one though (for me it was "Photopia"), so here's hoping SCM is it.

Just to clarify, Iran is a mountainous and largely forested country inhabited neither by Arabs nor Arabic speakers.

The real trick will be getting the host to let you into the party with a corpse slung over your shoulder.
I believe that hypothesis has been shown (at least in some part) empirically.

It may be the case that feeling like you have free will is an adaptive behavior, and won out over the alternative.
There are quite a few dubious claims in that article, but the most unbelievable is the implication that Bush knows that a country called Paraguay exists.
Ohhh Slashdot, I love you.
You're so..., well you're so you.
Should've been:
Grab two of every packet and archive them!

That comic is totally unrealistic.

If you are saying that glorifying war started with Hollywood, I think I spot an Achilles heel in your argument.
