but how many times has Johnson&Johnson sued someone for using the name Band-Aid for something other than J&J's product?
I'm really curious, because I suspect it is never. Maybe because J&J knows that it isn't hurting their profits. Yes, I know that using the name and using the name for a competitive product are two different things.
"his basic argument that we are not Turing machines is sound"
Really? What is the argument? It needs to be more than just the assertion "I don't think my brain is a Turing machine." I'd like to believe it is not, but I don't have an argument that it is not.
When I was a submariner, we would use feet and fathoms in different cases, e.g. the 100 fathom point, before which we would not dive, and test depth, which we referred to in feet (it would have been a non-integer number of fathoms anyway).
I don't think there are any giant squid that deep. Just little critters. While giant squid are considered deep sea creatures, that means something like 3000 ft., not 36,000 ft.
Actually, the phrase "technological overconfidence" was uttered before you did. Example: 1998 (http://greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00025f)
I did a DuckDuckGo search and yours was the sixth entry in the list that contained the phrase "technological overconfidence". None of them contained all your text of course. I suspect 99% is a serious underestimate.
Well, since I haven't rooted my phone (and don't want to), apparently I can't try it.
The app's website says "The files are named cache.cell & cache.wifi and is located in/data/data/com.google.android.location/files on the Android device. You will need root access to the device to read this directory."
Well, I don't know it off the top of my head but I do know that a cubic foot of water weighs *62.4 lbs (while a cubic foot of seawater weighs *64 lbs.), and that a gallon of water weighs 8.3 lbs, therefore there are 62.4/8.3 (approx. = 7.5) gallons in a cubic foot. *I learned these while in the Navy, and while I never really used them, I remembered them.
Couldn't have been worse than when we went bowling somewhere in the midwest during his election campaign. I think he bowled a game in the 50s or 60s. It's hard to do that badly.
This is the right answer. Oil gets diluted / contaminated and filtering does not fix it. However, if your engine leaks enough oil, you can just keep it topped off and this will keep the oil adequately clean. Unfortunately, leaking "enough" is bad for the environment.

'app' has been around for a long time, but 'App' has not. (?)

Never seen that abbreviation before. A breve, OTOH, is a double whole note, in music.
"By the way, that is millions of feet, not thousands (34,885,171)."
Huh? That would be over 6000 miles, which would be roughly 50% greater than the radius of the earth.
You mean so they will be able to store maps and such?

He doesn't have one, he IS one. Big difference.

Of course sapphire is aluminum OXIDE, so calling it transparent aluminum would be like calling a pile of rust "iron".
Ha. Just noticed GP's sig!

Sorry, I understand now. Yeah, it was quick.
I still change my own oil. I know I don't save much money by doing it, but at least I know what oil and filter is getting used.

I think sometimes it's not "it's open so I can change it", it's "it's open so I can SEE it", but your point is taken.

If you can divide 18 evenly by 4, you can do just about anything, can't you?
"we went bowling" should have been "he went bowling".

But robots are not greedy, deceptive, addiction-prone and power-hungry. Thus it is a major upgrade.
To make it more lame, of course.
One difference is the likelihood of "X" going belly up tomorrow.
Well, if they can put a tiger in your tank, then putting a shark in shouldn't pose too much difficulty.
