Cool. Might have to take the ferry into the city if I get the chance.

Hmm. Aren't Virgin Media part of the fascist companies opposing net neutrality and internet freedom? Why do you support them? :?

Staten Island, a borough of New York City, USA.

Well is that the right way to put it? Light, traveling at C doesn't experience time at all, so can it even 'understand' "instantly"?

Your unique instance of that brain chemistry simulated by thus tied to the physical brain. You could make an exact copy of an image but it doesn't mean you have the original. If you destroy the original, the original is gone. The copy continues to exist independently.

I'm sure if you told somebody 30 years ago that we'd be storing entire libraries of music and movies on computers small enough to fit on our lap they'd had a lot harsher things to say than ineffective. You don't have to be a specialist in the field to realize what nonsense this is. Copying your...

I just thought of an idea and I'm wondering if it'll be possible. It seems like it would be my understanding of neuroscience is very, very limited. So I'm wondering if anyone with more knowledge can shed some light on the possibility of it. The idea is brain virtualization. Basically, would it...

I lol'd. By the way f you have no idea what an a-floating-teacup-ist refers to, read the God Delusion. Which you should have read anyway.

Because I'm rational by nature. Or: Same reason I'm an a-floating-teacup-ist. Provide evidence for a ludicrous claim and I'll consider it.

Yeah I'm thinking I said that when I was smashed. >.>

Interesting that they did it but I'm skeptical that it's useful. Discs are already rapidly approaching 'obsolete'. They're clumsy and easily damaged and downloads and thumb drives are just more convenient. I'm sure it'll lead to other interesting breakthroughs that'll help tons, but I can't see...

When did I say those things? :?

But they're assigned to categories of wavelengths because our brains separate those individual wavelengths. Blue is a color because we see it as a color. Other animals may not even perceive the wavelengths between 440 and 490 nanometers (our blue) as a distinct color at all, meaning for them the...

Lot of shit going on in that page. But from the title alone, it's actually not a bad argument. Blue is an internal value assigned by our brain to the wavelength which is corresponds. Outside of our and other animals' brains, does it exist?

He asked for a high-quality MMO. You listed a psuedo-MMO* that's far from high quality. * Guild Wars' instanced model means it's not a true MMO, no matter what people like to think.
