I learned to write at like 45° clockwise when I was in school just to avoid the smear.

Oof calm down man. Breathe. Also, your gravity analogy works against you.

In the gravity analogy, someone would be claiming they understand 100% of what makes up gravity, "it's the curvature of space time. That's it. Job done. Go home quantum theorists"

If electrical signals are all that is required to give rise to consciousness, then a computer would be conscious. But since it's obviously not, there's a big gap there. One that is so far inexplicable. And yet you're drawing conclusions about it.

Shouting about it doesn't do anything.

So do electrical impulses always give rise to consciousness? Is my computer self aware?

Please explain how electrical impulses can give rise to a sense of self. The actual experience of consciousness rather than brains simply being organic computers.

Put another way, is my computer conscious? Why is it not, but I am?

But the good news is that it'll be the coolest year for the foreseeable future 🙂

It would help all of their competitors. A non zero number of people would move from windows to each of the others.

Whether or not the number moving away from windows and on to each of the others is significant or not is a different matter.

The biggest thing helping Linux right now is Valve's work improving the gaming experience, IMO.

Hold on. Pornos aren't a form of documentary?

I have 64 too and my usage breaks down to basically be 32 for windows, 32 for different VMs.

Or just don't voluntarily go somewhere that could result in a "life or death" situation?

You actually agree with me more than you disagree. If they have the mentality to send out clear text passwords, they probably don't hage the natural talent to design an asynchronous system.
