Maybe microsoft can hire him with that 42 billion dollars. 100,000 dollars. And then buy yahoo for him to run. 12 billion dollars. And still have 30 billion dollars to burn down orphanages or whatever Microsoft does with it's cash.

Oh Noes! The totalitarian upper middle class is making it harder for you to stick your nose into other people's bedrooms and sniff around. The totalitarian array of beauty shop owners and broadway supporting cast is going to make you have

Your second point seems very good to me. I admit, I do not take the care to write in english prime (english without 'to be') all the time. I should have while posting on it. LPTS Irony Check Fail. (Also, there are other uses of to be ra

String Theory is great math but maybe you cant prove it, and maybe for any way the experiments turn out, you could provide an interpretation of string theory that supports it. Meanwhile Chris King's Biocosmology, quantum loop gravity, orch

In one of the vids I linked to, he says: "that's called naive realism, reality is how I perceive it. Philosophers have refuted naive realism every generation going back thousands of years, and still people act on the basis of naive realism

using 'is' or 'to be' causes sloppy thinking. The main confusion here arises from using the is of identity on reality. Reality is as described by this math. That's a case of confusing a reference and the thing refered to. That's calling

Here are two you tube videos you might watch to get a better idea of what I'm talking about. I'm regurgitating this guys ideas. Robert Anton Wilson on 'To Be' and english without 'is' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCIqFAdI6eI&feature

If you stop using 'is' and all forms of the verb 'to be', our intuitive sense changes. If you never heard of the verb 'to be' or any of it's forms, and never thought in those terms, quantum physics would not contradict our intuitions. Eas

I hope you don't mean we should be using common sense and what seems ridiculous to our monkey brains as any sort of guide.

Ars - your seem to have a problem, that you use language wrong. your improper use of language causes you to be overly dogmatic in your thinking. 'The world is a simulation' 'spacetime is a matrix of pixels', what does that mean? All sen

I'm afraid they put this article up as part of a plot to persecute those of us who really see what is going on. I think people are delusional when they don't think the government researches mind control on civilians. All stopped when MKUL

Bruce Schneier would be a fantastic choice. He should be offered whatever high level position he thinks he could do the most good with, and be given the freedom to do things right. Can you imagine how much more sane things would be?

Sports is the wrong metaphor. It's more like being in a science class and watching an argument between a creationist and a real scientist. "Evolution is good. Things should evolve and get better and we shouldn't be afraid of it." "I did no

Go to a college and look at all the kids. They're using macs. That means, in the future, the people who make decisions will lean more towards mac. I don't at all think that mac's polish is a gimmick. We know that using 2 monitors increas

Brilliant. I love the look on Macs face when he swoops the ad money towards fixing vista and PC swoops it toward advertising. This is like boxing. Mac ads have had pc's reputation on the ropes in the collective unconscious. All the sudde

No performance reviews. If you do good, you get generous raises, stock options to get your own piece of the pie, and a bigger role in making the company succeed. If you do bad, mediocre, or merely slightly above average, you get a generou

I think the chance that gizmodo is full of shit is much higher then the chance that Steve Jobs walks away from apple while it's turning into his vision. It seems much more likely to me that some asshat at gizmodo wants pageviews then that

It seems to be a good thing. We can't be certain it's a good thing. :) A very good thing you can do to regain open-mindedness, mental flexibility, and willingness to contemplate alternative ideas to remove all forms of "to be" from your s

Maybe Jerry Yang should give Steve Ballmer a call and see if he's still game to buy Yahoo at 43 a share (or whatever it was).
