I remember when internet porn was bad single image files that took minutes to load. And there was no multi-tab browsing! You got one image at a time! You had to guess the internet address! Spoiled kids. Now I know how Scooby Doo villains get started.

Yes. Shaq admitted to point shaving while he was still playing and with the NHL as soon as the Russians started playing pro the mobs got involved by threatening their families. It is all documented and the stuff still foes on. And yes, the NFL is too flukey to be gambling on.

HA ha ha ha! I graduated from East High in 1997. It was awesome. In NY anyone who is male, named Brian, blond, and plays trumpet in the Jazz Band is guaranteed to be popular with the girls. Thank God we all grow up and live in a world where adult jazz bands are weird, being blond after age 27 is sort of strange on a…

I used to sell Tip-sheets so I have a great PROTIP: don't gamble. Basketball is fixed and football is too prone to flukey performance. The NHL is more than fixed. The NHL is more fake than pro wrestling. The FBI has been after the NHL ever since the Berlin Wall came down.

TK427 why aren't you at your post?

Those editions released post-THX edition should be bhurned in big bonfires. We should have a rally. Everyone can cosplay and bring gascans etc.!

Good stuff. Comparison between AI and the Pyramids is fantastic. There is a contradiction inherent in 'Artificial Intelligence' that no intelligence CAN be artificial. That is pretty bald and I won't go into it more than that but Mr. Lanier's notion that the whole deal is a con or a fraud is spot on.

Proraso changed the formula of their classic soap within the last few years and it is much more skin friendly nowadays. Don't matter to me. I'm a Barbasol fellow myself.

Two awful years where you are both an 'adult' and a 'teenager' 18 and 19. My biology teacher used to complain about: "In 1945 they would put a 17 year old in a B-17 and send him to bomb Germany." Like that means anything. Those guys did a terrible job. Germany clearly took over all of Europe.

This is why they call you "Problematic" Drew right?

I am like Mike Ditka. I guess I am ashamed. Maybe. I can't really tell. Especially the zoning out in the Admiral's Club story.

What about the notion that space travel on the scale necessary for galactic civilization is impossible? We have no realistic science that makes it possible and no theories that seem to point to it ever being possible.

Thank God. I am probably safe. On another note; would my health insurance have paid for this type of preventive treatment otherwise? Just wondering.

I am a lawyer. Please can someone tell me how I too can be disbarred like this? I would prefer to end my career on my own terms and this seems like an excellent model.

'Contemporary Philosophical Thought' makes assumptions based on ideas that are very old. Those ideas do not consider non-human perceptions. I do not understand how modern thought on ethics 'accounts for' the thought of non-humans. Can you enlighten me on this?

Philosophy does not equal "historical and cultural trends of human culture."

Because we have no external view. This would be one from an allegedly sentient creature. I'm not saying the answer is definitive I'm just sayin' it would be the first of its kind.

It would be the first non-human input on the whole religion thing. Wouldn't that cause all of our ethical presumptions to have to be thought about in a different light? Seems like the same as talking to aliens.

Sounds like Chuck doesn't know much about Gorillas and didn't bother to check. They do know about death and they do get sad about it. Even dogs do that and Gorillas are dramatically more human-like in every sense. Tell the Gorilla. Tell her all about it. Of course Koko has feelings. Tell her about Jesus and the…

You got it right the first time. Thrawn was a great villain and the whole set-up about art theory was better than later Star Wars stuff.
