That's like using an EM field reader to measure electromagnetic fields, and assuming you know what they "look" like to birds, porpoises, or platypuses.
GP specifically mentioned "the difference between your perception of the color green and the color".
Because given two options: A robot killing a bird without expression, and a robot correctly recognizing a pitiable state, expressing sadness for the bird, then killing it (and potentially expressing happiness about itself now that the bird no longer makes it sad), I prefer option number one.
It's going to take teams of cross-trained psychology/philosophy/computer science majors to get the ethics/morals right.
Keeping workstation firewalls on behind network level firewalls is like locking the door of each room of your house as you pass through it. Unlock, open, go through, shut, and lock. Suddenly, the security measures outweigh their usefulness.
That depends: Do you live in a neighborhood where someone jiggles your front door handle every few seconds? Do you live in an apartment with roommates? Are the roommates close friends of yours, or only real-estate associates? Do your roommates bring over people you don't know? Do your roommates or roommates' friends jiggle your bedroom door handle occasionally to see if they can steal something? This would be more close to the computer analogy.
Six degrees of Kevin Bacon pretty much ensures that famous people are going to get hit by the same kinds of malware that the rest of us have to deal with.
Does this mean that Hollywood may not have been designed to route around Kevin Bacon in the event that Global Thermonuclear War takes him out? Can a dead Kevin Bacon star in such movies as "Weekend at Bernie Junior's" or as corpse-extras to keep the connections up?
Surely there are languages in the world that don't have such a ridiculous idea as "forbidden words".
I highly doubt that, unless you're talking about an unknown cetacean or cephalopod language. Humans are good at putting up meaningless restrictions because we know our young like to push barriers. We would rather have them say "naughty" things and feel like they've pushed a real boundary than have them do something that society abhors (crime) because it is the only barrier to push.
You work for the wrong people. When I *tried* to leave I got a 17% raise (The new job would have been 30%, but it was in DC, so Meh). Good companies want to keep good people. It's how they stay good companies.
So moral of the story is, if you work for the right company, try to leave it? If you work for the wrong company, succeed at leaving?

Why would someone like that work for a manager like that?
Everyone would like to have Superman working for them. Or a whole team of Superman.
But why would Superman need YOU?
Because Lex Luthor keeps using kryptonite, but only brings it to bear after Supes mops up the flunkies. A manager's job is to knock the kryptonite away in the final battle. Don't ask me what that means in business terms, I was reading Superman comics instead of getting an MBA.

It is a knife or to be more exact oversized dagger, not a sword.
The balance is wrong. With a sword you need to be able to chop which requires the sword to have at least some weight towards the end so you can put a good whack onto your opponent. Otherwise it does not have enough energy to chop through armour or let's say chop a hand off.
That is why roman, greek and other armies who faught with a similar size short blades had leaf-shaped blades with the thin end on the hilt side.

Try blocking outgoing connections with the XP firewall.
the Vista/Windows 7 firewall is even better than that
This is true. Unfortunately, with its power has come a more difficult interface. Why do I have to click 20 times to enter ~10 IP ranges into the scope list for just one port? Why can't it be a comma delimited text field like before?
Great. So the only CPU left is the extreme edition. I can afford it. Can you?
If Intel is forced by the gubmint to not use weasely business practices, then other people will be able to afford it too; the CPUs will reach a lower price point because all of the "upgrade" overhead on the chip, in the sales-teams, in the marketing groups, won't be needed, and they'll need to charge a little less just to sell more (more profit) anyway.
The point is that the "extreme edition" isn't extreme. It's what everyone's chip is, but some have just been (reparably) damaged. Overall, it's a waste of resources, fabricating intentionally defective parts.

No no no. It's not a proper Russian Reversal. A better response would be:

There's got to be something on the list that you're good at...
Forget the list. Sysadmins are the MacGyvers of IT. Specialization is for insects and North Koreans.
those are unlikely scenarios that are best left to be dealt with if and when they come up; worrying about them beforehand just creates extra stress.
You'll never be Batman with an attitude like that!
Somehow I think being Batman would lead to a lot more stress.

Pratchett has stored the sword in a secret location, apparently concerned about the authorities taking an interest in it.

Um, yeah. That was my point. Realmolo said XP firewall was better than ZA. I explained why it isn't, and even pointed out that Win7's was better.
Windows has had a better firewall since XP
