I freely admit both are unprovable. But you speak like both have a 50% probability of being true, and believing in either one has equal chance of being correct. This is incorrect. One is astronomically more unlikely.
There are an infinite number of unprovable things in this universe. I choose to believe the one that is most likely is, well, most likely.
And don't be naive. The Eucharist, the sign of the cross, the little fish bumper sticker, church attendance, and (forgive my cynicism) self-righteousness are all 'secret handshakes' of Christianity.
Saying you're well qualified to be a game developer because you have lots of experience playing computer games is like saying you'd make an excellent mechanic because you drive your car lots, or that you're a master of cellular biology because you breathe.
May I make a non-car analogy? If I wanted to be a writer, what's the most important thing I could do?
A) Read lots of books
B) Go to university and get a Masters in English Literature
C) Begin writing small stories and see how it goes
In a couple of weekends you could teach yourself how to write a basic game with PyGame or something. Why not give that a try and see how you like it? It's hella cheaper than 4 years of university, and will get you what you want much faster.
Don't believe it, Kiffer. I have over 15 toolbars installed and if anything, I'd say my browsing experience is significantly degraded. However, I suspect that with just 5-10 more toolbars I'll be past the 'tipping-point' and my browsing experience is going to go stratospheric!!
Or what about Canada? I live in Calgary, and we have sub-zero weather from October to April.
You ride your bike to work in the rain? You were lucky! I used to dream of riding a bike to work in the rain. It beats the hell out of trying to ride a bike to work in -25 C with driving snow and a wind-chill of -60 and exposed flesh freezes in 30 seconds.
That may well be true. Please allow me to rephrase my original comment.

So what? People will find a way to block the news ads as well. Such has it always been.
No public tendering process was made. The contract was handed straight to Microsoft. Therefore your comment is irrelevant.

I feel obligated to say that, while I have seen repeated admonitions not to "mess" with that particular state, hating it should be fine.
Way ahead of you, my friend!
When you put it like that, it makes me want to date him!
Cheers for that, fuzzy. I haven't laughed so hard, and felt so sorry for the human race, in a long time.
Damn, beat me to it. Seriously. Who does that?

Oh, so it's just like when Muslims and Jews were allowed to 'freely' choose to convert to Christianity during the Spanish Reconquista?
If you think these two situations have nothing to do with each other, think harder.
"I want to be a priest."
"You can't unless you choose to be celibate."
"Oh. I guess I'll be celibate, then?"
And anyway, atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby. It's not like we have secret handshakes or anything.
Two atoms were walking down the street when another atom brushed by them.
...or something like that...
One of the atoms turns to the other and says, "Hey! That atom stole an electron from me!"
The second atom says, "Are you sure?"
"I'm positive!"
Fortunately, Fermilab's particle accelerator goes to eleven, so it shouldn't be a problem.
And it seemed to have worked. As far as we know, he did not die of AIDS!

Hmm...I don't play WOW, and I don't get laid regularly. Where does that leave me?

Good lord. The end of AMD started about 3 years ago. Where have you been?
This has got to be at least the middle of the end.
...it relies on another cars crumple zone.
So what happens when two Smart Cars do a head-on?

Why did I move here?
You must be immune. I've been feeling ill all day. An least now I know why.
Damn you, n-Cubes!!
Agreed. Don't be a pussy. If you mean 'fuck', say 'fuck'.
