  1. Oh, I like them, it just annoys me that Molson isn't Canadian at all.
  2. What do you mean by multiple homepages?
  3. It does seem like a very good step, however I hope it isn't premature. I know there were a lot of concerns about security forces in Iraq and Afghanistan not being able to handle that level of responsibility at present.
  4. I highly disagree. I'm not talking necessarily about building a car, but even the conversations you've had with someone about anything can work. Maybe you've talked to your parents, about something important, and they've given you advice. You can remember it, learn from it, and pass it on. Apes can't. Maybe you've debated with someone about something, similar to what we are doing now (except in writing). You can still remember it, use it, spread it, and learn from it. Apes just don't have that kind of intelligence. Physically complicated, not at all. The brains are physically very similar (as you've pointed out before). But a human brain is capable of so much more in terms of consciousness, thinking, etc that I think it will take a very big gap in technology to truly perfect it.
  5. Happy Canada day As for those hypocritical Molson commercials :shame: I unfortunately won't be partying due to work :(
  6. As much as I sympathize with the plight of the people in the Gaza strip, Israel has allowed humanitarian aid to enter as long as it goes through the right channels, which this clearly hasn't.
  7. Well what he is driving at is that IA is comprised of people who can't pvp with their main clans because their main clans aren't strong enough. That isn't exactly true.
  8. I don't think I'll be able to make it, happy birthday though :)
  9. Not at all. I can tell you something verbally, and you will remember it. And you can pass it on, and improve on it, and pass it on again. Apes can't do that, and that isn't reliant on any sort of technology. Exactly, on a much simpler level. What I am arguing is that the difference in the level that we do those things is enough that it won't be possible to create truly artificial intelligence any time in the near future with the technology we have.
  10. That's actually not what Reb was trying to say at all. Anyways, humans are about 99.4% equal to chimpanzees in our genes (and very close to all other mammals), no where near infinite. But look at that huge difference in that .06%. I'm well aware of the genetic differences but the human mind is capable of so much more. I'm really not quite sure about the "huge difference" you speak of. Sure, we have self-awareness and the ability to create technology, but the intelligence of a ape vs. a human isn't extremely different, let alone infinitely different. Don't just assume your argument when you look at civilization and the technology of the world, that does not measure our intelligence, it is merely a product of it. As our technology gets more advanced, it doesn't mean that we as humans are physically getting smarter, that is not how cumulative technological advancement works. Next time you assert a fact, would you care to elaborate on it a bit? Ok, Will do. On the level of basic intelligence, yes, humans and apes are very similar. I'm talking about the capability for thought beyond the immediate. Morals, decisions, the ability to create, the ability to look outside the box, the ability to do what doesn't make sense; these are all things that an ape just isn't capable of. I'm not saying we are completely different, but the human mind is capable of far more than an ape. For example, this conversation. I highly doubt an ape would ever have that. Or even begin to understand that. I agree that we as humans don't get smarter, but we do get more knowledgeable. Once again, something an animal is never capable of. You can't expect an ape to figure out how to build a car and then pass on that knowledge, you just can't.
  11. I don't think Zh DK or Vr specially Vr are going anywhere Today Vr is the strongest clan no one gives them week prep fights they know what will happen. The "IA" is made for all the noobs who cant go out pvp with there clans and Flame NH clans on Fan site forums for runescape. they get chance all them to go hop in with big clans to fight them off, I don't think IA will last long. Well argument can go both ways Its either You like NH tactics Or you Don't. I don't really think thats fair. I agree that NH isn't going anywhere despite anyone's best efforts but it seems to me that all NH is doing at the moment is flaming IA because they can't keep up. IA isn't made of noobs at all, many many members pvp regularly with their clans.
  12. That's actually not what Reb was trying to say at all. Anyways, humans are about 99.4% equal to chimpanzees in our genes (and very close to all other mammals), no where near infinite.

  13. I really like that, would prefer to see the whole face though.
  14. Why are you comparing animals to computers...? Just because they both "percieve" doesn't mean the word means the same thing for both of them. By that I mean, founding your faith in the possibility of the generation of souls in AI's in biology doesn't seem to make any sense. Exactly this. I think it would be possible with the technology we currently have to replicate an animal's intelligence. It is just that humans are infinitely more complex.
  15. Keep pets indoors, and post a picture :)
  16. What if a spammer comes? I'm sure they don't care about posting in a forum that gives no post count.
  17. I can tell you that as someone with experience in many huge pk-runins that looting does play a part, regardless of whether it is supposed to or not. There is no way clans will switch to cwa unless that option becomes available.
