    You can grow grass in greenhouses and make bricks in brick machines much more efficiently. You can automate your mines.

    Me and my gf were both paying players, but stopped _before_ we got the automation since everything TOOK AGES to do (grass, bricks etc).

    I think you're underestimating the game based on a slow start

    The game (-creators) underestimated the amount of boredome that's acceptable for someone to throw money at.

    I don't believe you regarding your claims of bad anonymity, and I don't need to go to further sources. You don't have anything to back up that claim.

    It's amazing that you know so little about Freenet :) The number of nodes on stable is estimated at between 6 and 12 thousand atm. I also know a LOT (really) about crypto and security and know that the last bit of your post above is pure nonsense.

    Come off your high horses and read up on the current state of Freenet before posting such bollocks again maybe?

    Freenet allows anonymous communication between thousands of nodes - today.

    That's my definition of "works".

    I've run freenet for years. At the moment it works better than I have ever seen it do before. I have no problems whatsoever browsing freesites and using frost.

    Now, tell me why it doesn't work.

    Which is what I wrote. Statistically uncertain measurements are bad because management use them instead of getting updated opinions for the current project.

  15. Re:Gilb's Law on CPAN: $677 Million of Perl · · Score: 1

    Invalid* measurements are worse than no measurements at all.

    - from someone educated according to Gilb's principles, but "a few" years in the industry wiser now.

    * Invalid in this context means (among other things) statistically uncertain. "It says X here!" is worse when managements says it than "We don't know" and they then ask your current opinion.

    No.

    BTW - the best way to show that you are a creationist without any clues is to discredit evolution as being a "THEORY". I think you need to check up on what a theory is in the scientific world.

    Zenbuddhism maybe? Or my own? Definitely not something based on a tribal god, then twisted into becoming the tool with which to get the masses to accept your own political ideas and social reforms (Moses, Jesus).

    To repeat myself: If creationist science had any other excuse to exist that to afterwars twist philosofical sayings and history of legends to somehow become accepted as fact - then I would've taken it more seriously.

    As it is, it's not.

    If there had been any other reason behind creationary science except to "prove" that sayings never meant to be taken literary are just that - then I would've agreed with you and accepted creationism as another scientific theory.

    However, there is no such reason.

    Yes, I know my religious history. More so than most religious people I ever encounter. Knowing all that history is the very reason why it's easy to be an atheist.

    There's no "creationist science" that can explain what we observer in the universe, from the smallest to the largest. Nothing.

    The fun thing is, it's a lot easier to explain the Bible. From the tribal god system to Abraham's personal God, used by Moses to sway the people into following him as a leader - all the way up to the anarchist Joshua/Jesus who used the myths as a way to help bring on social reforms.
