If you download your brain into a robot and turn it on, then take an axe to it, are you killing yourself?
No.
If not, would the robotic copy of you that was seeing the axe come down agree with you?
Yes.
If it's me, but in a robot body, as long as I recognized that the human "me" was still "me", then I'd have no problem "dying". Why? The same reason I am willing to suicide-attack in BF2 or similar war themed FPS: I know I'll respawn. Sure, if the robotic me lived for years on its own a la William and Tom Ryker, I might want a copy of the robot me's brain before axe choppy, but any version of me will value the meat me, and see robot mes as expendable. The only real problem I see is that the robot mes would see _each_other_ as expendable, and might cause problems.
The only reason ICANN is ignoring it is because GoDaddy and Network Solutions are one of the largest registrars and bring them lots of money. If it was some small registrar, you would be sure they would receive complaints from ICANN.
That doesn't make sense. All business goes to ICANN eventually. They could stop serving godaddy, and that same business would funnel through other companies or new startups.
They used to all the time with those spring loaded metal clamps. Granted, they don't too often anymore, but I remember my first diag test was "reseat all RAM" which would magically fix things 95% of the time. I still do it as a matter of course when there's an inexplicable error, then I start swapping RAM and CPU(s). Weird software glitches often result from weird hardware issues in RAM or CPUs that memtest86 and the like don't show.
That depends on the difference between 9.1 and 9.1.2. If the difference is a week or two (i.e. the bug fixes haven't been out long) then it's not unreasonable to have a delay updating the download
A week or two? Really!? An hour or two maybe. Worst case scenario: Until 8:00AM Monday if the patch was made 5:00PM Friday. Never longer.
Apple's managed to get more than fifty thousand apps through the process and onto the store. Nobody's going to write stories about the ones that went smoothly.
And everyone one of those apps has had a message from the author in the description saying "Version 2.0 coming ($today-30days). It should solve the connectivity issues". The review process may have gotten them through, but I've not seen fast upgrades for anything other than big companies that can pay to be heard.
I was on eharmony a while. I had over 400 matches in the same time that my matches got only 40. Ten times beats twice any day. I did get quite a few dates just by being the normal guy in a sea of weirdos.
Well... actually, as a person who is paid to be creative, I can tell you what that small difference is.
It is that you put the ideas from your imagination into a physical form that other people can understand.
You mean to be creative, I have to create? Forget that! I'm going insane instead.
They made that story up to fool us. Don't you see? They want us to link Schizophrenia to creativity because they know that it will cause us to support them. And what's wrong with that? It's because the they're not real people. Real people don't behave that way. What you call "schizophrenia" is really the result of behavioral differences among the class of people who we've come to differentiate as the Nordic type, as opposed to greys, hairies and the other classes. They can live nominally among us as they appear generall to be caucasian. Some counter that they can't be the Nordics, and this isn't entirely untrue because they are just as often offspring between Nordics and humans. Also, time dilation effects from the trasnport mechanisms used to transport them back and forth from Earth to their home worlds cause them to be smaller. Thus, they really are the Nordics and would be tall, blonde and attractive to you; but appear differently due to an effect akin to Doppler shift in their frame of reference. So when you see one of these Nordics on the street you just think they're crazy, but those are actually the social conventions in their culture and I have to go becaue I've already said too much. Just don't believe them becauese if you believe them then things can happen like when I started believing them and then you will believe them too and it will all happen. Now do you see? It's already happening and it's happening because it's too late and it's possibly even later than you think because there is a frame of reference between these Nordic types and the Grays and what you call schizophrenics.
The Norse thought the Finns were wizards that controlled the weather. The truth is that Finns are one corner of the time cube. I'm a Finnish hybrid. You'll only know I'm near by the effect I have on Doppler Radar. The original Finns had green eyes, but the Finnish Hybrids have blue eyes, to blend in with the other Nordics. You'll never know I'm not Nordic....Well it says I have, well it says I have blue but I decided I wanted gray eyes.

Except the "voices" in that bicameral state shouldn't have any words, they should be the basic human sounds (yelling, cooing, "ow/ouch", the sharp intake of breath when burned, grunting, moaning, sighing, laughing).
I have. I've also seen the sad mac face, Apple ][ corruption, kernel panics, etc.
Joking aside, I've had the equivalent of a BSOD on Linux several times on different types of hardware. All but one case was bad hardware, one was a kernel bug (fixed upstream in two days).
You're probably being crammed
It sucks because the phone companies legally make money off of other people's fraud this way, so they have negative incentive to check the identity of the crammers.
I was Joe Jobbed some years back. It was the highlight of my internet year. Seriously, it gave me giggles for a few days. I had a few "fuck off" replies but most were of the "take me off your list" type. One was from the CEO of NTL, or more likely his PA. Giggles, like I said. I responded to each email explaining what a Joe Job was, but no one replied back after that.
Here's the tricky part: How many emails "responding" to the Joe-job victim are emails from the spammer trying to validate the Joe-jobbed address?

I'll tell you right now. They turn them with SCIENCE!!!
What a strange name for a holy symbol. Does it give a bonus to the turn attempt or to the number of undead affected?

Sorry, but Parker *is* emo. He stole all of Batman's emo in the first Marvel/DC crossover. My problem with Spiderman3 was the "Blob" origin for Venom.

So, judge says: "I order you to be in contempt of court." Your move.
Apple doesn't reject apps because they're stupid, they reject them if they fail to comply with the terms stated in the developer program agreement.
Or if they totally comply with the terms stated in the developer program agreement but AT&T decides they don't like the app.

I was thinking they would have a massive flywheel for backup, but grid power would be needed if there's sustained calm.
And this is less secure than existing passwords how?
It's not, it's less secure than SecureID tokens.
Too obscure.

Not true, I bought most of the infocom selection on CD.
I have yet to see a single blue screen on Linux.
I have. I've also seen the sad mac face, Apple ][ corruption, kernel panics, etc.
Joking aside, I've had the equivalent of a BSOD on Linux several times on different types of hardware. All but one case was bad hardware, one was a kernel bug (fixed upstream in two days).
