    Strong AI Thesis - The Question of computerized minds.

    The definition of "thought" is difficult to define outright, but I believe that computers will pass these tests. I believe that it is a misconception that humans are able to make decisions that are not at the most basic level purely deterministic. As a construct which makes decisions based upon...

    Peter Molyneux Explains His Crazy Curiosity Cube

    There is a minimum amount of time, actually. It's clock cycles on whatever server is the backend for the cube. I think that the possibility of multiple people actually ending up tapping the last bit at the same clock cycle (Processor speeds measure in Ghz, so 1000ths of a second) is actually a...

    Have we forgotten how to be ladies and gentlemen?

    Yes, to some degree. I believe our culture has lost the need to support manners, which saddens me. Even as recent as two or three decades ago, being respectful was generally expected of citizens, although not everyone (of course) was a perfect lady/gentleman. What happened to the honorable...

    It's only sexist when Men do it?

    So basically, Orwell's "All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others." I totally support this. Feminism is largely unacceptable as it (seriously, wtf.) is sexist against men. A group that I hope destroys itself.

    Beginner seeking electric guitar help.

    That's an interesting question. I have bought a few pairs of headphones that are male/female for instrument jacks/.35mm headphone jacks. But usually I just plug the headphones into my amp with it. Also, you may want to choose a better title for your post next time. This is a technical...

    Poll: Pro-Anonymous or Anti-Anonymous?

    Yes. The chanology projects are usually (not always) in good moral standing (in my opinion) and, more importantly, worth a laugh.

    Hip-Hop and Rap: What are your thoughts?

    I used to think it was all rubbish, but then I listened to Girl Talk's "All Day", and I realized the potential. (It's free, you should download it. Now. Really.) There is a certain quality to the flow of the words, just as in Shakespeare's works. Obviously no rapper is in the same league as...

    Poll: Pro-Anonymous or Anti-Anonymous?

    I'm with Extra Credits. Anonymous wasn't behind the PSN attack, and no, just because anyone can join doesn't mean that anyone who says "I'm anonymous herp derp" is a participant. Their operations are always in support of a good cause. I won't personally use LOIC or do any work for them, but...

    Extra Punctuation: Building Sequels Badly

    Sly 2 was WAY better than Sly 1, and it certainly didn't seem like the first game had any intention of leading to a sequel. I agree that fans aren't sure of what they want most of the time- but only MOST of the time. I liked Portal 2. GlaDOS returning was great, and come on- her attempt to...

    Scariest movie you've seen.

    The Poughkeepsie Tapes. Because it's about something that actually exists - Serial killers. It's made like a documentary, but it has shots from the point of view of the killer as he's inside victims' houses. Best use of suspense I've ever seen, and it scared the shit out of me. Don't watch it...

    How to fuck with people.

    Put a mattress in the pool. Soaks up all the water. Takes a crane to get it out.

    IS art subjective?

    I went to an art gallery all about the civil rights movement and slavery/prejudice before it. As a 17 year old white male I found it pretty hard to connect with, but let me tell ya, some people OOOOHHHH NOOOOOOO. Favorite day of the year. Yes, art is subjective. Think about that game you want...

    Anonymous' Target Planned to "Take Down" WikiLeaks

    Ever been on /pro/? So much of anon programs. It's ridiculous. There are so many intelligent anons, that stuff like this is bound to happen. (Sure, you get the whole bell curve all the way down to dumb little 14 year olds, but you get the braniacs too.) I am all in favor of this. I am all in...

    "Still Alive" Kids Choir is Back With "Trololo"

    I hate the original song, but this is great! Can't wait for Always. :]

    What ENTIRE ALBUM is currently gripping you?

    The new Matt & Kim album, Sidewalks, is godly. Not a single song is disappointing.
