Re: "They're made out of meat"

I watched the video. Interesting but I'm not sure that what the guys explicitly theorizes corresponds 100% to what's happening. @SU: I agree with your definition, but there are so many conditions for your process to work that you take as a given on an unconscious level. With a dog, your organic bodi...

Re: "They're made out of meat"

The language is amazing, but has limitations. See for example thisand this. In particular, if we don't share the sensations or intellections of an alien species, I'm not clear how we could communicate.

Re: "They're made out of meat"

I don't know if they're superior, but one could speculate that since they talk about the meat being bound by c, they're not: thus, at least part of them is not made by matter and energy (at least nothing of the sort we know to exist). Because of their time scale (two galactic revolutions feels like ...

Re: What the... Snow in June, then in August!

Renewable energies won't solve the global warming (but if we solve it, they can prevent it from happening again). We already released more than half the world-wide oil reserves, so even if we were to completely stop using today, which is not happening anyway, the carbon would still be in the atmosph...

Re: Forum Quote of the week

As for your question, elodman, I think such arrangement allows words to be born anew and convey their meaning stronger, because they break the routine format. Depending of who is talking this way and in which context, it can mean a lot of different things.

Re: Forum Quote of the week

I think like Ameena. Correct it is.

@Seriously unserious: being rare doesn't make it alien to English. I would go as far as to argue that everything that is understood by English speakers is part of Engilsh (and that English grammar was not designed, it just happened, shaped by a collective mind.)

Re: CSBWin 12.4 and CSBuild 3.28

Don't do that, while Conflux distracts you with endless riddles and fights, it insidiously starts to study your reality and simulate it in-game(*). After ten years of running, more or less, it would reach your present. If you play with an accelerated clock, reality would then start happening first i...
