Considering the print itself can take hours, it hardly matters if the initial calculation takes a couple milliseconds, or minutes...

The definition is the same, but not the application.

Instead of looking at the state of order in the system, the article seems to be more interested in the transfer of information. That's what I read from their definition of what life is.

Pumping energy into a system does not necessarily the order of things.

Also even though the article also mentions therodynamics, shouldn't it be the information theory entropy that is used here?

'unlikely to be unusual' is a weird way to put it.

I understand that to be the same as 'likely to be usual', or as one would normally say: 'likely'.

So environments favorable to life are likely?

They were mostly wounded while killing, trying to kill, or assissting in killing other people (you know... combat).
It is kind of a moot point discussing who the 'good guys' are in a war. However usually it is soldiers on both sides. A soldiers saving grace may be, that they are acting under orders and have limited choice in the matter.
However for the same reason I do not see a point why they should have a priviliged status.

All things conssidered they rank pretty low on my sympathy list.
Certainly much lower than a wounded cop for example, who was fighting actual criminals and certainly lower than people who were simply the victim of an accident or violence.

Wasn't this theory debunked like 50 years ago?

This is pretty much what 'unlauterer Wettbewerb' means:
Fighting competition through illegal means, or gaining unfair advantage by not following the rules of the business.
And it was decided by a court.

So there.. exactly what you wanted.

The whole point of such a person would be, they are not showing symptoms,so how the duck are you going to find them?

That's what we got religion for:
No matter what 'we' realize, there will alwas be enough people wo believe something completely different for no reason, to keep the system going.

There are still other resources needed to produce other than work.
Such as raw materials and energy.
But work is the only resource most humans have to offer in exchange.

But... uhm... you need free light to 'see'.
So how could you see the light while it is still traveling inside the glass?

I wonder how this could be even possible.

My car for example becomes absolutely hysteric if I place something on the passenger's seat, but do not plugin the safety belt.
Loud warning noises over the speakers, blinking front display, getting increasingly urgent/annyoing if I do not prombtly react.
Same reaction if I leave the driver's seat with the key still in the ignition, too.

And this is a middle class Opel Astra.

Yet this car with all its automation is oblivious to the empty driver''s seat?

Which does not answer the question what the X stands for either, now does it?

"ERROR

Your product name must be at least 8 characters long, contain at least 1 of each of these: upper case letter, lower case letter, number, unprintable symbol, smilie-face, must not have meaning in any language and sound kind of cute."

Couldn't they have just redefined the acronym?

'Xenon Based Media Center'.. something something... It does not have to make sense. Just shorten it back to XBMC. There. No more trademark violation.

We don't even know what the X in xbox stands for either. No one cares.
