The military-industrial complex is a complex of the interactions between the military and the industry that supplies it, not just the latter. It's the industry side of the complex that is opposing it, the military is asking for it.

The Turing machine has a memory, it can absolutely cope with symbols meaning something different depending on what appears before them. The trouble is that it can't distinguish between infinitely many distinct symbols on the paper tape

Turing's goal here is to justify why a Turing machine captures the "intuitive notion of a computation". To his audience, a "computer" is a person with a stack of paper and a pen, following an arbitrary procedure. Tu

England and Wales allow unilateral divorce, and at least the husband wanted to divorce, so even without this mistake the result would be divorce. The mistake must be in the details of the settlement, so there's a good chance it's

Interestingly, it seems that Japan does have a procedure for foreigners to officially adopt a Japanese name. Changing your name is often very hard, and doing it in a country where you're not a citizen might be completely impossible
