Hm. Any discusson about extraterrestial life without any given parameters would just be wild guesses. There is the possibility that a lifeform can destroy itself without technology, but then we might not be talking about intelligent life (asuming we define human life as intelligent). Of course a lifeform can be destroyed without technology, but that would require some natural disaster or overpopulation and destruction of the resources the lifeform needs.

What are the lbs values in kilograms? Why do some still use lbs instead of kg? Anyway, I'll vote Blike is evil for fun

So are all moons locked to the celestial body they orbit? So that one side is always turned against the planet? On my second thought. That can't be true, as wouldn't the planets orbiting the sun also only show one side against the sun at all times?

Long live SI

I was thinking of english, so it could be more widely used. And by making the AI analyse all the sentences I believe it should be able to see in what context different words are used.

Does anyone have realistic ideas as to how to build a working AI, specialy considering the ability to make a conversation. My current idea which I am trying to program, is to use a database where each word would be given a property of what it is, i.e. nouns, verbs, numerals, etc. In addition I would make the AI parse every sentence written to it by analysing the text, like finding subject, object, verb and so on. If I combine this with a way to describe objects to the AI (another database), I believe I would have a quite nice, working AI. What do people think about this idea?

Ok. I'm there 24/7 as well, and if I'm awake there is a good chance I will reply

I use Opera too, and the ad you're talking about is small and insignificant. I only notice it when someone start to talk about it Mozilla is a good browser too btw. Have had quite a few discussions with some friends about which is better, Opera or Mozilla. Most of the time we end up agreeing they are both great browsers, and a LOT better than IE! (Oh, and the ad doesn't always say "Buy Opera". There's a lot of different ads, and in the newest versions, you can have google-ads with relevanse to the pages you visit.)

A virus-control maybe? Generaly I would say there are three ways to secure your computer: - Keep all your software up to date (at least the software you run regularly and can communicate through the net) - Have a good Anti-Virus program with updated virus-lists - Have a good firewall configured properly Any of those would make your computer more secure. All of them together would make it VERY secure.
