Dae314 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 So what you're saying is that the myth is that humans caused global warming, but you're acknowledging that the climate is changing. Does that even change the situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Mute point Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 It changes who/what is to blame for the situation.Science has shown that the sun is getting hotter, thus pushing the safe zone out a little more every time it goes up a few degrees. Long after those of us reading this are dead and gone, the earth will no longer be capable of supporting life because of this.Most likely, long before that happens, our population will have increased so much that we will have already started sending ships out in the general direction of other planets that may become livable by the time we get to them. This is of course, after they solve the problems currently caused by long term space travel, including, but not limited to: Bone Necrosis, limited food stores, oxygen stores, recycling on the go, and fuel.

† Emotional Outlet Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I hope by then they have ships with living consciousnesses and then I can be a ship in the future.I CAN BE HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae314 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Personally, the argument of who to blame in this context seems pretty useless. Who cares who did it, what're we gonna do about it?Once the problem is solved, we can look back and bicker all we want about what the causes were and how to prevent it from happening again.Also, embedding consciousness (or simulated consciousness) is very hard for technology which is innately a discrete thing. Consciousness (as we like to think of it) is a continuous thing although it may just be so many discrete points that we cease to see it as discrete. Even if consciousness is infinite, as long as it can be emulated with a discrete set of data we will eventually have passable AI. What would be more interesting is to see technology evolve far enough to handle countably infinite data. For that though, the entire theory of computing would need to be rewritten .

† Emotional Outlet Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I was talking about being reincarnated into a spaceship. The how and why are not important to me, only that when I die, I can be a spaceship in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Mute point Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I want to be reincarnated as a dragon. Then I could go on cute destructive rampages as a baby... and not so cute destructive rampages when I got bigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolrawr Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 So I gave up looking and just went to the DMV to get a replacement drivers license.The picture they took makes me look like a thug tho.Also I'd like to be reincarnated as a 3D human. That other dimension looks fun. :[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Mute point Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 You are aware that our world IS in 3d right? That you are already a 3D human? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae314 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 How can you be sure of that? What if he actually ceases to exist when you look at him from one of the axes? Perhaps he's actually one dimensional and doesn't really exist in this world but is rather a computer program made up of a single binary string spanning the infinity of a single dimension? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† Emotional Outlet Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I noticed that. Lot of shirtless dudes and women in various positions together (or alone, on occasion), but no dude on dude or lady on lady action.ETA: The women were not shirtless.

Zanco Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) I see that shit every where in Puerto Rico, it's almost impossible not to find it down there. x ](Das me on the dance floor^^^)Also, what anime is that from? : O Edited October 20, 2012 by Zanco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae314 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I found it! I found it!/>http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8883At first I thought it was this one. But then when I looked again the eye patch was on the wrong eye. To find the anime I actually google image searched "anime eye patch girl" and one of the images on the page matched which took me to a forum thread that mentioned the anime's name .Total search time: 6 minutes (took me a while to figure out that the eye patch was on the wrong eye). How'd I do ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanco Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 NICE! I thought the same thing at the beginning but then I remembered that I already saw Another. So I was pondering about it for a while. ; P Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
