Multiplication fail?
Also, as far as I'm concerned, Facebook friend is a synonym for acquaintance and I know very few people who see otherwise, so that isn't the differentiating factor here.
Well I only paid $2400, since, as I said, I got the educational discount. Which included a free $100 printer/scanner, and a $250 extended warranty that's already replaced my motherboard for free, and will replace my computer with a brand new one if I have another issue within the next year. On top of that I get a machine that lets me develop and test software for three major operating systems, and allows me to legally use the ONLY consumer-ready Unix O/S hassle free.
But really, I love when gamers think their machines are top-dog. When I feel like getting in a hardware pissing contest I'll gladly shell out for a Mac Pro with 3Ghz on 12 cores, 2 workhorse graphics cards to power six 27" inch displays, 32GB of RAM and 8TB of storage.
$2800 with Apple Care actually (before my educational discount). And all the Pro features still seem to be accessible to the AppleScript interface for anyone who actually needs them.
Like I said, everyone fixates on biologists;) Collins is more interesting for his combination of faith and science than for his reasons for faith. Gödel is fascinating for his personal application of logic to the discussion of God's existence, even if you don't agree with his presuppositions. C.S. Lewis is another (non-scientific) personage known for his application of reason to belief.
I also recommend you check out Matthew Dickerson's forthcoming book "The Mind and the Machine" (disclaimer: the author is a close family member, he also holds a doctorate in computer science from Cornell, and I've generally found him to be very intelligent in his discussions of theism).
Not really. Acceleration with non-zero jerk will involve different calculations than constant acceleration. There's a reason Hooke's law isn't the first thing they teach you in a high school physics class. The physical interpretation of the calc
Actually, that could be an interesting success heuristic to train a chat bot against: what sort of behavior maximizes replies to your own comments while minimizing losses from your friends list.
Facebook friends are mostly irrelevant in terms of people you actually care about friendship with anyway. It's more like a unified contact list from my various lives, so anyone I might want to contact ever stays on the list. If they are annoying, I just block their posts from my feed. End of problem.
As someone who most strongly identified with Bean Delphiki out of any character in any book I've ever read (and I've read hundreds), and spent most of high school correcting incompetent teachers and trying to get state legislators to take my political movement seriously, I'm aware of the unfunniness of ageism. That may be part of the reason I'm so strongly drawn to one of the few areas where the stick of ageism beats in the opposite direction. That being said, I also have sympathy for you -- I've spent 95% of my life being the victim of ageism, whereas you're probably finishing up a stretch of exemption from it at least as long as I've been alive, and it sucks to come back under that again. But that doesn't excuse lacking a sense of humor. Us youngin's put up with good natured get-off-my-lawn-you-damn-kids poking, and you put up with the good natured silly-old-farts-think-they-are-hip poking. It goes both ways.
No, but platformers and point-and-click adventures are representative of the pre-FPS era that us late-80s/early-90s children grew up in, that always seems to get glossed over in the transition from textual interfaces to WoW and Halo. And I included Descent, because it was definitive at the time, even if nothing of its legacy survives today.
Don't be silly, we ALL played Commander Keen and Myst and Descent.
Can't stand when you old fart's try to be hip by dropping the names of all these new games like "Quake" and "Doom"

What does it say that I have (literally) 50 times more Facebook friends than you and I'm not stressed out at all?
When using nice computers is your job and not your hobby, that's really fine.

Quicktime is automatically "Pro" now. Or at least, it comes with Quicktime X, which isn't the full pro, but has a lot of features and doesn't nag.

I don't necessarily know that there is not a theistic position based on evidence and reason, I just haven't found one yet.
But the clue is in the subject: "Goes both ways."
Surely you are familiar with Gödel? Or Planck, or Dyson? Or, since everyone fixates on biologists, Francis Collins?

83s are pretty slow. 84+s are a whole 15MHz.
Only when you can get positive media coverage out of it. Public sympathy is important.
Or possibly even "Air Conditioning"

Actually, they are probably too busy bombing Syfy HQ after that brutal cancellation.

Was my /s not implied strongly enough?

Is that the Monster Cable version?
RFC 1149 is 20 years old at this point, not just from last year.
Not so far as I can tell.
Phrased another way, might I understand you to be asking "What is the sex of the turtle?"
Actually, it's 4 elephants first, and then a single very large turtle.
