Rather than watching the new movie, you could also watch another film based on a play based on the book, which doesn't shy away from some extended soliloquies about math and creativity and stars David Jacobi in a truly amazing performance. Definitely worth it, and likely a much better portrayal of Turing.

OK, you're going to stick to the notion that the number of Google search results indicates whether or not an assertion is true?

I just searched "God is real" and I got 633,000,000 results, dwarfing every other search in this discussion by a factor of 10. Apparently, Thomas Aquinas could have saved himself a lot of trouble by just waiting until Google was invented.

Please, can we just put aside the notion that the number of search results has any meaning beyond the fact that lots of bloggers, posters and partisans have mentioned it?

I'm curious. Does Tylenol actually do anything for anyone? I've tried it for aches and pains, bruises, sprains and fever and it's never had the least effect.

Ibuprofen, yes, that works. Aspirin works. Other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, all work to varying degrees. Tylenol? Nothing.

Do any of you use acetaminophen with good results? I know hospitals give it out, but here in the States, hospitals don't really give a shit about patients' pain. They probably just give Tylenol because it has so few contraindications.

Nonsense. Almost all businesses pay taxes, and few move to places with lower taxes because those places have crappy infrastructure and dysfunctional societies. Of course, if you have higher taxes, and you squander the money, businesses will move elsewhere. But if it is invested in things that make business more successful, it will attract more businesses than it will inhibit.

It is not "evil" to not pay taxes you don't owe. Those corporations would, of course, pay taxes if we had sensible tax laws that actually required them to do so.

You barely survived bullying, so you should know better than most that many people don't. That's plenty of reason not to tolerate bullying.

Look at it this way: survival of the fittest is already being changed by modern medicine; would you withhold penicillin from a child with pneumonia because he's too weak to survive? By extension, we owe the same level of concern to people with psychological problems.

Yep, because feeling good via any other means than mass consumption is bad. Although the principles mass consumption are very bad psychologically and do drive a need for feel better drugs. Mass consumption is also very bad for the environment, so what exactly are we doing by favouring it of simpler less environmentally taxing feel good methods, especially when the need for the feel good methods is driven by the feel bad nature of mass consumption ie you are not consuming enough so the engines of mass consumption purposefully sets out to make you feel bad in you failure to consume, which you can only alleviate via consuming more and more and more. The feedback cycle on mass consumption seems to be far worse all around, individually and environmentally.

Currently there are two accepted forms of troll identification. Those that post purely to annoy others and have no interest in the topic or even the opinion they are espousing or even worse, paid trolls. Paid trolls are of a different order, they are paid to post the opinion of others for money in as many forums as possible and to narrowly defend that opinion. Which is often nothing more that greed driven false ideology that those who pay for it to be posted, perceive will fiscally benefit them. The post to annoy ones are easy to filter out, their behaviour repeats, the paid trolls are far more difficult, as just like the microbes they are, their message mutates to get past the filters, the problem they create is one germ attempts to become hundreds of points of infection in the same thread and thus appear like the majority normal cell, rather than a diseased infection of Public Relations agencies (these engines of deceit should be subject to massive class action law suits where their behaviour is uncovered for the cost burdens they place on people and companies attempting to run genuine forums).

That is not technically correct, as a proper air gapped network should not have any means to digitally add data other than via secured, monitored and filtered access points. So failures in air gap system design are obvious, still live wireless hardware, unconditioned power feeds and local terminals with poor input control methods. The untoward access to a properly designed air gapped network should be via corruption of personal and that data should only be copied and removed in hard copy form or be added manually, except at the specific control point for the digital addition or removal of data. That power supply can be a real problem for bringing bad data into an air gapped network but it requires that the hardware in the network has already been compromised. Of course with so much stuff sourced from China in the blind US rush for greed, that is likely to have occurred. Now with lots of government three letter agency attacks hidden behind false flag terrorism, yep, sure a bunch of goat herders in a cave brought down a commercial broadcast network (lies work best when you can silence the truth, even just temporarily, until the bulk of the killing is over). So bad people in positions of trust will always be the greatest problem and of course for the spy agencies psychopaths make the best agents, that shameless lying works well for them, or does it?!?.

It should be pretty obvious by now that most business are unwilling to pay any taxes at all, whilst demanding money out of the tax coffers as subsidies and this not to invest in their business but to invest in the ego of the executive team with mansions, private jets and mega yachts. Most corporate executives seem quite content to see the bulk of the population suffer and die as long as this quarters profits and their bonuses are up. Tax havens exist as a means by which to steal social services in order to pay for ever greater egoistic indulgences, people die in poverty to pay for the hugely wasteful excesses of a psychopathic minority. PS it is called offshoring, where a business is locally based but just imports all product which it pretends to produce and hides the bulk of revenue in the shift from the point of manufacture, to a tax haven holding company, to the point of import, so they it can be bought very cheaply and still be sold at a hugely inflated price but for tax purposes at a loss, whilst the executives scream, 'die fucker die' (they also fund lobbyists to bring that death about as quickly as possible by distorting legislation to favour it), to at all the people living in poverty who can not afford to buy those products.

The tech industry is rife with those who public face of moral equability hides the avaricious sneer of letting a populace they profit from suffer social welfare losses up to and including early death, Google, M$, IBM, Dell, all of them just as factually evil as each other in their chosen fiscal practices, their greed is killing people.

The moon provides a manufacturing point for heavy bulk elements required in space ships and stations. This manufacturing point would be at the bottom of a significantly lessor gravity well and thus would eliminate sending up anything other than electronic components, no producible bulk components and of course people. I can assure, without a permanent moon colony access to the rest of the solar system will be severely limited. The moon is the key to gaining real access to the rest of the solar system and is where the focus should be in order to reach much further out into space.

Some of those laws have already been overturned.

More than just lobbying. Factually, a heavily censored public communications network heavily favours authoritarian governments, which is exactly what every single for profit corporation is (an authoritarian privatised element of governance geared to favour a minority with majority share holdings). So access to public communications censored via cost ie only the rich can play, favours both the Republicans and Corporations. So net neutrality favours democracy and biased by wealth internet access favours fascism and that is an inescapable fact and exactly why the current pseudo religious, pseudo representative Republicans, want to kill it, main stream media controlled by wealth favours them and public media controlled by the majority goes against them, straight up fascism versus democracy. This is not just a US thing but can be seen the whole world over, the more pseudo conservative actually fascist a government is the more they want to privatise communications and limit access and control of access based upon wealth. Exactly as can be seen in Australia, where a labour government endeavoured to produce an equally accessible network and the conservative once in power immediately set to destroying it and are now attempting to permanently block it by crippling it financially and locking it up in privatised contracts. Opposition to net neutrality is factually treason against democracy.

Once pressure is established it is easy to maintain, you just replace what you have produced and pressure can obviously be maintained with water head http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H..., again shifting water about. The only reason to have the plant as low as possible is to minimise energy lost in waste water. Shifting water hundreds of metres up hill chews up huge amounts of energy and the problem is, all that energy is lost and in fact even more energy is required to remove the waste water produced at the point of use because sewer systems can not function based upon falls alone (the falls required become hugely excessive) and also require pumping. Rivers fall to the sea and cities drawing their water from a dam higher than the average city elevation save huge amounts of energy. You could run an reverse osmosis filtration plant on gravity alone if the source contaminated water was higher than the required delivery point for potable water and the height difference required is not as great as you seem to think.

2) They realize that the absurdly high taxes in New York are driving businesses away,

New York's job count is at an all-time high.
