Glad to see they raised the IQ requirements for new ice agents.

I think we can all agree that the uber rich are the issue and not each other.

Ok sure. What I really did was buy a new washer that was on sale and I got $100 off. Maybe I will have it connect to my neighbors WiFi, since they never secured it.

I bought a washer that has wifi connectivity. It want to texts me or something when the cycle is finished and doesn't even seem to have a 'play a loud beep when done' option. How does this make any sense at all?

Just want to say, Google Docs is NOT free. Just because you don't send them money doesn't mean you aren't paying.

I just barely used my first one for the longest time, since I mostly played games or programmed on computers. Then I started to use it to read books and watch Netflix. I am on my 3rd one now and probably spend 60% of my computer time on it.

I think what he is implying is that current computer design will never be able to gain consciousness. Maybe a fundamentally different type of computer can, but is anything like that even on the horizon?

The book The Emperors new Mind is old (1989), but it gave a good argument why machine base AI was not possible. Our minds work on a fundamentally different principle then Turing machines.

Be honest, do you look for such activity?

Something that always confused me about that story: the fairy godmother used magic to enchant Cinders rags to create the illusion of a gown, but the enchantments were supposed to end at midnight. Why didn't the glass slipper revert back to whatever it was before? Was she really scrubbing the floors wearing glass slippers?

He is angry that Priscilla, Queen of the Desert didn't make the list.

Made with love, but definitely has its flaws, so don't know about forever.

 

Especially gas powered ones. If you are going to blow refuse in the street, can’t you at least do it quietly?

 

I want to replace Win10 on the desktop system I mostly use for gaming. It is an older system with an Nvidia GeForce 1050ti gpu in it, which from what I found, should not be a problem. I was thinking about going with Ubuntu since it is well supported. I was interested if anyone has any opinions about this. I am also going to try and dual boot it with the Win10 for now. I purchased a new SSD drive just for Linux.

 

I was looking into buying a used or refurbished laptop and installing a Linux distro on it. Mostly want to use it for surfing the web, but I am sure it will have a lot of other uses. What are some good sites to buy a laptop? What should I consider as far as the type of hardware goes (Gpu, WiFi, etc)? What would be good distros to consider? I have been working with Linux for a long time, so I would not consider myself a beginner. Thanks for any advice.

 

I am going through the Godot tutorial and am in the 3D part. I clicked the perspective button and changed to top view. I now have no idea how to return the editor camera to where it was before and the tutorial seems to expect you to be in this default view. I tried searching, but I don’t think I am using the correct words to describe what I want.
