You know, "revolutionary" comes from "revolution" which is more commonly used to describe "the overthrow of one government / replacement with another"... I'm picking nits but it pains me that you missed the original meaning of revolution:

Thanks so much for this; I hadn't come across the microtype package before.

As usual with these things, the analogies are a bit lacking. I humbly suggest that it's more like requesting a catalog from Macys and then ignoring/defacing/destroying the parts of the catalog that I am not interested in. if (youDontLik

It's kind of fundamental to a moral view of the world to believe that you are no more or less a person than any other person. It would definitely be weird for one to have free will and everyone else not to, and I am certainly not making t

Sorry for the double post above. I was replying right as noprocrast kicked and was not able to delete the extra one :-\ I have a couple responses regarding complex machines and responsibility. Firstly, as to whether or not we are complex ma

Byrneseyeview is presenting an overly simplistic view. It is true that we respond to stimuli, but fortunately we don't respond only to stimuli but also to our internal states (thoughts, feelings, memories, and yes even moral judgments). A

Conclusion: We have no free will nor fate ;) The alternative interpretation is that all particles in the universe have free will. ;)

That's a good point. I'll have to think about this.

Ok, so only add pages to the mirror that are older than N days or have more than M (non-reverted) edits. Probably you'd also need to have tracking for when page names change. It's not a deal-breaker.

Well, some of the patents are hardware, and you still need to sell your device in countries that will recognize these patents to make it worth making. Sure, but as long as someone is selling the hardware (perhaps even licensing the approp

It could be as simple as mirroring wikipedia but never propagating the deletions. Trying to edit an article would redirect one to wikipedia; trying to edit a deleted article would instead edit the local copy (in the event of the article bei

If any of this comes to pass, then the open-source aspect of android will become much more important: development will simply shift to countries that don't have software patents

Thanks for that link! I hadn't realized the source had forked away from the Blacktree original and now I find I am running a rather old version of visor.

P.P.S Can kids even get paper routes in the US these days? My limited observation is that it's now large routes driven by adults who throw papers from car windows. I think it's a combination of fewer newspaper subscribers (meaning larger

Even magazines have the decency to print "Special Advertising Section" at the top of their faux articles. I don't know the specific statues, but I believe these are required by law.

The brain can mess with perception in pretty significant ways based on very little information. Indeed. Which isn't too surprising since perception constructed by the brain. :) I think that the fact that you can't "will" yourself to see

It doesn't matter whether that guy gets ordered around by a short bald guy and would have been in the Paleolithic, too. I don't disagree with the gist of your point, but I just wanted to observe that male pattern baldness is generally cor

On the other hand, if I were to have brain surgery in 2030 I probably wouldn't want the world's best surgeon from 2010 to time travel and do it. I agree with your broader point, but your specific example is unfortunate. Surgery, and brain

Another way to put it might be, "Stop before you reach a 'stopping point'." Supposedly this is one of Haruki Murakami's writing tricks.

Your prejudice is my Bayesian inference. In any rate, judging someone based on how they communicate is morally very different from judging them based on who they are . Communication is action, and if one cannot form opinions based on the

William Gibson's prescience continues to frighten me. Unless the causality goes the other way, then it frightens me even more. "Chaos, Mr. Who," Lupus Yonderboy said. "That is our mode and modus. That is our central kick." Or, in the parl
