--- Quote from: TheoGB ---I think if your lives are too busy to let you respond with an actual answer then maybe you need some better time management, starting with not wasting your precious minutes on a forum like this.

--- Quote from: TheoGB on 22 Oct 2010, 07:39 ---To me your answer here is really just saying that you assume everyone is useless unless they explicitly say, "I've Googled and I can't find or understand this".

Or perhaps we could stop wanting handholding and lollipops from everyone and do some damn work for ourselves, hmmm?
The denizens (and visitors) to this forum are not trained monkeys here to educate and amuse you, perhaps you should attempt to acquire information yourself?
If only there was some sort of easily available network of information services which one could search in a free, safe, and fast method to provide an overview of any given topic, with opportunities to learn more about it!
Or you're just a snivelly little prat who should unplug mommy's webtv and go back to your wrestling shows.

In all honesty I can't work out if you're agreeing with me or just threw me a ZING! so lame it's coughing and dying on the floor. Here endeth the lesson in not replying like you're in the YouTube comments section. :wink:
Heliphyneau:
I would have thought that every issue of Barista Weekly would be the Fuck You issue, or at least would have a regular column of barista ranting, ala Ed Anger. :-D And . . . did the "friendly AI" singularity (I'm sorry, signularity) happen while Angus was latched onto Faye's boobs? Perhaps the meter lurking behind them gained sentience and administered a small shok to knock him loose . . .
:mrgreen:
In other news, I bought my copy of the book, so woohoo!
*dances with eyes closed, not paying attention to whether anyone is watching*
Near Lurker:
1996? Pretty sure we've had it longer that that... unless you mean "strong AI," in which case, what took them so long? It seems like once you've crossed that threshold, by the definition Hannelore's using, it's only a matter of building a big enough mainframe.

--- Quote from: DarthMark on 22 Oct 2010, 07:42 ---Faye is making a mistake applying human morals to dolphins. We have spiders for whom mating is always a case of rape and then probably being killed, and praying mantises for whom it's a case of being killed and then mating. Among higher animals, most large mammals are polygamous, and males will sometimes drive competing males away from the group, potentially to starve, and even kill the previous dominant male's offspring when taking over. This last behaviour has been observed in cute fuzzy kitty kats.

How is Faye making any sort of moral anything here; she just described dolphin behaviour and someone else decided she didn't like them any more. Faye's opinion is not contained in this strip.
True, you might infer that she doesn't like them because of that behaviour, but then this is Faye; she could also have simply memorised that anecdote specifically to use on people that come over all cutesy when the subject of dolphins arises and otherwise have a wholly neutral attitude to them.

Not explicitly, perhaps, but it it strongly implied.
