What's the deal with YouTube's new "turn down the lights" feature? There's a lightbulb icon above the videos and if you click it, the screen darkens around the video viewer.

Who's on first?

I still have no idea what you're trying to say.

Could you paraphrase it here?

Can you please rephrase this? It sounds like gibberish to me.

...sure....

Read my post above. You're confusing average and instantaneous.

It's not [math]\frac{d}{t}[/math], it's [math]\frac{dd}{dt}[/math]. What you described is AVERAGE speed. It's the average speed that slows down due to the absorption. The photon's speed, however, is always c.

<ydoaPs> <mooeypoo> Today, I was masturbating on my inflatable air mattress that squeaks when you move. Suddenly, my mom busted in my room to ask if I'm okay because she thought the squeaking was my crying. I ripped my hands from my pants and turned on my side; she walked over and grabbed my hands to console me. <=== irc quote thread, anyone? <Klaynos> Why do I always miss these conversations <UnintentionalChaos> ydoaPs- its from a site...not mooey <Klaynos> You WILL be misquoted... failing that we will just make it up.

I like the "plain english" option.

[math]human\neq{person}[/math] Single celled organisms aren't people. They may be human, but that's not relevant.

Sweet link. I'm watching it now.

Since you recommended the book, I'm going to assume you're on the "love him" side. Why is this? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedOne of the interesting aspects of the book, imo, is how it describes that the brain is fundamentally different from a Turing machine.

A while back, bascule recommended to me On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins. I finally started reading it two days ago and it was great. I would have been done sooner were it not for work Anyway, it gives a pretty detailed view of the neocortex and how it works hierarchically to produce/use invariant auto-associative memories. In doing so, he also tears down the skyhook that many people have that intelligence is some sort of magical thing and replaces it with biology. He argues against artificial intelligence and insists that we should instead create machines with real intelligence using the neocortex as a guide. Overall, I think it's a pretty good book; It's also a really fast read. Also, of interest to the more sciency people here, the book includes an appendix of testable predictions.

It is denoting a specific sun and a specific moon as opposed to A sun or A moon.

I'm just quoting this so it will be here once the mods check it out.

Sweet.....I'll check it out.

DH, use [math][\math] tags for [math]\LaTeX[\math].

Are you using a cross product or a dot product?

IMHO, threaded view just causes confusion; It's more difficult to follow.

I chose "other" since my "no" referred to all god concepts of which I am aware.

Are they cartoon gods? Perhaps the poll question should be different. "Assuming for a moment for the sake of argument that the following beings exist, which of the following do you consider god(s)?" Better?

The real question is whether or not Adama is human.

You left off the obvious choice.....YT2095
