askimto··on New $1.6B supercomputer project will attempt to simulate the human brain
Sorry for not being more clear. I know that's not what you said. I was actually answering your question of what I'd consider adequate.
askimto··on New $1.6B supercomputer project will attempt to simulate the human brain
I'd be thrilled if we had a simulation that we trusted so much that we could consider skipping trials on actual cells.

Never trust a neuroscientist.

I doubt we will see an adequate simulation of a single human cell in our lifetimes much less a brain.

askimto··on Dell Said to Be in Buyout Talks With Private-Equity Firms
So bogus. There would be no lawsuit, at least no sane one, if a vision was clearly communicated. As for going private, what does Dell now have that puts them in any position for long term upside? If they go private the company will be chopped up. Given all the acquisitions that's for the best.
askimto··on Aaron Swartz Died Innocent — Here Is the Evidence
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz said, “Stealing is stealing whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take documents, data or dollars. It is equally harmful to the victim whether you sell what you have stolen or give it away.”
