If we argue that all our thought processes are nothing but electrochemical signals that occur in the synapses and neurons in our brains, then all our "thinking" can be demoted to "calculating" via biochemical pathways.

In the same way, when a computer calculates via its semiconductor hardware, can it be said that the computer "thinks"?

In other words, If the brain can be treated as a machine, can a computer(or its CPU) be treated as a kind silicon-based "brain"?

BA want to charge me 3000 pounds for 2 adults and 2 children to fly return to London (flight time 5.5h). I think this a tad over the top as a friend of mine has just booked a 10 day stay in Bali with hotel, flights etc.. for less. Can i lodge a complaint with trading standards via email?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over 5 years now, and I'm not happy anymore. It's nothing in particular that he's doing, I'm just not happy. I'd love to do the whole "break" thing, but right now that is not an option, unless I move back into my parents house, as we live together.

I guess what I'm asking is, I'm planning on telling him how I feel, and why, and I'm sure he's not real happy either, so I'm sure I'll get a rebuttal, and I'm going to ask him if he thinks the relationship is worth salvaging, and taking like a 6-7 month break, or if he thinks it would be best for both of us to chalk it up to experience, break the tie now, and go our separate ways. HOW IN THE HELL DO I BRING THIS UP????!!!!

I'm not pissed, we're not fighting, when I get home from work, do I just say, "Hey honey, I'm home, and I'm not happy, blah, blah, blah"? Honestly, I've never broken up with someone I've lived with before. And why do I feel so guilty???

I don't know how many kids are here now but to anyone who has a real job, does the 1st shift hate 3rd and 2nd? Do all shifts complain about the others endlessly, and whine about how much they're shift does compared to the others. I can't stand that! Is everyone trying to look better than the others on your shift? Every job i've ever had is like this.

i applied for a job at movies and i had a job interview today
the intervieew went perfect but my employer wants to get in contact with my past jobs but i havent worked nearly all year and i left my jobs on bad terms (i didint quit my job formally)

now they are kicking my butt to get incontact with my job.
i decided to get a few people to lie for me to the employer but this is too much drama just to get a minimum wage job.

if i dont get this job, should i just lie on my next job and say i never worked before? im 19 years old so do you think i could get away with it?

i learned my lesson and now i know if i get a job i should stay there for at least 6 monthes and that i should do the 2 week notice thing.

so what should i do about this next job?

I accidently polished my wood table with pledge. Problem is, I forgot that the cleaning instructions said not to use furniture polish. Now there are streaks on the table from where I wiped it down. Any advice on how I can fix this? Or how I can buff out the streaks?

Thanks a bunch!
