But for the consciousness in the machine, does that distinction matter at all?

I feel the same way about CRTs. Things are so much better now (to me anyway). I also feel the same way about loud keyboards. The current fetish for "clackety clack" keyboards cracks me up.

To be pedantic, Pedal Steels are supported by legs like a table. You are probably thinking of lap steels. When played standing up, they are usually supported just by repositioning the strap.

> If they want to make statements they can tell the public directly instead of favoring specific journalists with private communications. Who is going to do that when you get rid of the PR department? I mean sure, someone can do it, but

The situation is a bit different though. If Apple's plan was to produce processors for the likes of HP, Dell, etc, then maybe that would be an issue. But I highly doubt they will move into those markets. It's AMD that's poise

I don't know how far you are into your career, but think about the people you have worked with that you would like to work with again. Then, think about the people you would avoid working with again at all costs. Now, think about the p

Honestly, people who view reviews as competition are exactly the people I don't enjoy working with. Those people are always the ones who view any criticism as a slight rather than an opportunity to improve, and it will always show in t

I think you are reading way too much into this. There are ways to bring up inconvenient truths without being an asshole, and there are ways to be a pleasure to work with without pandering. People who don't see this are actually the one

The USB thing, while not great, was a bit overblown. Official power source never had a problem. As far as overheating, there are several passive cooling cases that handle the heat just fine. ETA Prime is one place to look for videos with te
