Science Squabbling

Your objection may have carried more weight if you had voiced at almost any other time than today.

This "passed turing test" thing is a big scam.

Jesus, the guy that's written this is annoying!!!

I thank you in advance for your adoration.

Hold on a fuckball moment.

"Professor " Kevin warwick.

That name pretty much says it all.

Grade A crackpot, crank and all around clunge.

Anything that he is involved in is pretty much going to be bollocks.

Never heard of him. What gives?

He's an attention seeking swivel eyed lunatic that make shit up to get in the press.

Have a Google of this:

site:theregister.co.UK Kevin Warwick

Try: I'm a cyborg because I planted an RF chip in myself.

Is it that guy? He's a clown...

Oh he's British.. no wonder he's a fruitcake. I thought he was 'merican.

He reads a few William Gibson novels, wifey dumps him and this is the result...

some big numbers here, but i have my doubts on one of the SI units used
has anyone ever counted the number of grains of sand on the earth ? it seems to be liberally used in articles like this
i think a grant should be given for someone to go out there and count them just so we can be sure about this constant going forwards

Do the ones currently bound up in sandstone count?

Fantastic...

Do the ones currently bound up in sandstone count?

once the grant is granted that should be their first question

Although in this case, about 10 times as black as the Ni-P coating which last drew my attention to low reflectance coatings.
