And your moderate amount of research is totally more right than the International Committee on Climate Change, and the general consensus among scientists (i.e. people who have spent their whole adult lives studying this). As to your comment about the inability to make accurate weather forecasts, that just shows your…

The general consensus among scientists is that global climate change is caused by humans.

Ethically and technically questionable. The environment is a seriously complicated system and nobody knows what could happen.

His statement that he still feels the shock of 9/11 hardly means that he doesn't care about those who have died in Iraq.

10000 Verizon subscribers (and only Verizon subscribers) decided to call in just for kicks and report a failed 911 call? Odds are slim to none.

Sorry, I didn't see your last post.

Circular reasoning much? You just effectively said that a 1 GHz processor is faster than an 800 MHz processor, because there's no way that the 800 MHz processor could be faster. Logic— you're doing it wrong.

I'm sorry, I guess it was incorrect.

It's not that Watson thought Toronto was a U.S. city, it's that it decided the question wasn't asking for a U.S. city. Just because a sentence has the phrase "U.S. city," that question does not necessarily want a U.S. city as an answer, and figuring out what the question is asking for, while something that you and I…

I wasn't being sarcastic. Everything I said was (as far as I know) true. I'm hardly an expert, but I do follow the news closely, and I am an extemper.

I didn't promote.

A lot of cheap green lasers don't have the ir filter.

That's not a lack of reasoning, that's not understanding the question. The English language is extremely complicated, and Jeopardy takes advantage of that. It is very difficult for a computer to understand which pieces of information are and aren't necessary. Also, there was an interesting article you should read from…

Here are a couple facts.

Best comment I've seen all day

Have you read nothing about it? Watson has to be able to understand the intricacies of the English language, like puns. While the hardest part of Jeopardy to you may be knowing the information, the hardest part for any computer is understanding the question, and it is extremely complicated to do that. While we may not…

No, I don't just believe my government when they say that we need to stay there; I believe the news organizations when they report the instability that Iraq still suffers from, I believe the political scientists whose careers are based around the fact that they can successfully analyze current events when they say…

Or it could legitimately be argued that it is rebuilding that country. We destroyed the government and infrastructure of Iraq and we have a responsibility to fix it. We don't want another Somalia, or Afghanistan. Yes, it may have been better for many Iraqis had we never invaded Iraq, but once it happened, the damage…

He said he was searched, but was lucky and released. I doubt that the police would have accepted his press credentials if he had been carrying a firearm.

Plenty of people feel that the war wasn't necessary, but that the best way to protect our country now is by helping to win that war. It's like if you have a family member in jail. You probably think that what they did is wrong, but you feel a need to bail them out despite the fact that they did something wrong.
