Linky-Links: Geek, Science, and Technology Edition

Apr 29, 2010 13:02

My browser has a ridiculous number of windows open yet again, so here we go with another List of Linky-Links. This episode features some neat science and technology links, polyamory (of course), and some lovely eye candy thrown in for good measure. The eye candy is all the way at the bottom, I'm afraid ( Read more... )

What would be the point in building a brain like ours? It would have all the same problems as ours, along with the strengths, and be due the same rights as one of us. You might as well just have more kids.

Clearly, so you can then upload a living (or dying) person into the artificial brain.

Except that kids aren't effectively immortal. :) And I think it's be interesting to find out what would happen if you took that computer, and perhaps gave it more prefrontal cortex while maybe providing fewer projections from certain parts of the limbic system... We carry around a great deal of dangerous evolutionary baggage in our heads.

In the "broken people" article, did the author seriously use "damaged goods" in a non-ironic way, in the 21st century?

I love how the right-wing article on polyamory quotes Urban Dictionary. Clearly a valid resource.

I suspect that's where a lot of right-wing Christian fundamentalists get their information about how Godless Liberals live, to tell the truth.

I like the EN-V's, although at a top speed of 25mph, it had better drive itself. That would free up my now lengthier drive time.
The black one looks cool, but I didn't like the access- I can see older folks as a MAJOR market.
Doesn't go far? Can drive itself? No more ooops Granma ran over a pedestrian, and no need to take her keys!
But the access of the red or blue would work fine in that market.

Just because I'm guessing you're using Firefox....

May I suggest TooManyTabs? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9429

It's quite excellent. (Please note: This does not allow you to stop posting things like this.)
