Fight Fire with Fire

[Ben Kenobi]

You cited a study from IRAN????????????

And? I didn't take you for a racist, gribbler.

[Ben Kenobi]

don't most means of abortion involve actively killing or ejecting?

Uh, I hate to break it to you Elok, but are you familiar with D+C abortions? Where they scrape out the uterus and dismember the child? With prostaglandin and saline abortions? They will burn and scar the unborn child, who dies from drinking salt solution. Horrible way to die. All legal and occur millions of times every year in the US.

And? I didn't take you for a racist, gribbler.

Iranians are white...? They're a muslim theocracy.

[Aeson]

What would you consider equivalent value? I'm shocked you're even considering this bet.

You've already lost the bet if it were made, as I already explained, there are already methods by which mental state can be translated in a way that is useful for authentication.

I was just interested in what you think you could possibly offer.

I thought you believed Muslims were a race, Gribbler.

[Ben Kenobi]

You've already lost the bet if it were made, as I already explained, there are already methods by which mental state can be translated in a way that is useful for authentication.

And I've already shown why passwords don't qualify. Again, if I have your passwords I can login as you and the system doesn't know any better.

I was just interested in what you think you could possibly offer.

Well, ok. I don't know what you would consider equivalent value to the site, so..

[Aeson]

Passwords dont count as authentication?

As for what you could offer, I only asked for the laughs. You couldn't offer anything even remotely worth considering given what you were asking to be put up. I was just curious as to what reason you chose the site.

[Ben Kenobi]

Passwords dont count as authentication?

Passwords don't count as brain scans.

As for what you could offer, I only asked for the laughs. You couldn't offer anything even remotely worth considering given what you were asking to be put up. I was just curious as to what reason you chose the site.

I was gently nudging you to 'Perhaps you should reconsider your position.'

[Aeson]

Passwords don't count as brain scans.

Again, you're being dishonest in representing what was said to twist "mental state used for authentication" to "passwords are brain scans". The later of which no one has said. Here is what was said, starting with my statement you responded to:

"As I said, we already use mental state for authentication, we just use an inborn and easily trained method of translating it to a computer readable form. So you're already wrong, and technological progress is surely going to make you even more wrong in the future."

Your direct response to that statement:

Fine. Put the site up and I'll make a bet with you that in 20 years I will be right. - Ben Kenobi

The only way you haven't already lost that bet is if you're trying some dishonest semantic ploy and using "in 20 years I will be right" as applying to general topics rather than the specific matter we were discussing. I wouldn't put that past you ... given your attempt to change "mental state used for authentication" to "passwords are brain scans".

I was gently nudging you to 'Perhaps you should reconsider your position.'

It was a pathetic attempt then. All it did was make me laugh at how the implied handicapping of your proposed wager was an admission that I was more than 100% right.

Poly - keeping Ben occupied and off the streets and prevent him from raping small boys since October 2002.

[Sava]
