  2. Evolution is weird too on Does Quantum Theory Explain Consciousness? · · Score: 1

    Its not just concisousness that is weird, evolution is weird too. The fact that such complex systems evolved in reaction to environment is something hard to digest. There must be a law of the universe behind it. Also, its funny that beings that were created in response to environment changes are recreating beings using materials they use.

  3. Re:Protect users from themselves? on Apple Support Forums Suggest Malware Explosion · · Score: 1

    Is it possible to protect a user from themselves? If a user chooses to install some software and it turns out to be rogue then that's not the fault of the OS, it is the nativity of the user. Can't believe you said that. Are you an Apple fanboy? It is obviously the OS's responsibility to prevent malware from being installed. Or atleast provide a way to detect and remove malware once it has been installed (no matter how it was installed).

    If GE were smarter they would have invested more in other types of lighting before the ban. Why didn't they innovate earlier? Innovate or die.

    Are they using a static analysis tool to find bugs?

    You should read about logical fallacies in wikipedia. What you have just implied is "Americans are dumber than Japanese" and nothing else. Your statements don't prove in any way that "H-1B engineers were never necessary to the American economy."

  9. Evolution and laws of physics on Darwin's Voyage Done Over, Live · · Score: 1

    How is Evolution explained using the laws of physics? Does Evolution imply that life is written into the laws of physics?

    How exactly do you plan on showing that not paying people for work is going to have better results?

    What? Understand what I said. I never said that people will do well if they don't get paid for it. If the average grade in a class was x and after students started getting paid, the average grade became y (y > x) then what does that mean? People do well if they get paid for it and not vice-versa. Until now there students weren't getting paid for getting good grades. But some students still topped. Why? Because they know that if they do well they can have a better life. Other students didn't do well. Why? One reason is they failed to see the long term benefits.

    In the short term, grades go up, so how about doing a study that shows they go back down?

    Why don't you do that study and then comment?

  12. Short-term gains on Kids Score 40 Percent Higher When They Get Paid For Grades · · Score: 1

    Can we conclude that kids these days can only see the short-term gains and hence do well in class if they are paid for good grades? One goes to school in order to have a better life in the future - a long term gain.
