    Sure, sure, but what have they done recently?

  7. Re:RFID in the UK on RFID Coming 'Whether You Like It Or Not' · · Score: 1

    Basically, to make sure I'm understanding you, you're saying that having a great mind is independent of belief in a god.

    Yep, essentially that's what I meant. Those with great minds will arrive at different theistic beliefs than others.

  8. Re:RFID in the UK on RFID Coming 'Whether You Like It Or Not' · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think, though, that they are a little unnerved by the fact that all these great, objective, scientific minds arrived at the conclusion that a god exists. This either means they have to wonder what these "great minds" were smoking or what they themselves are smoking to not see it.

    I think it means neither.

    My opinion, FWIW: I think people see the poster's .sig as somewhat of a logical fallacy, namely the appeal to authority. Some "great minds" weren't theistic.

  9. Re:Asteroids? on Is {pluto|sedna} A Planet? · · Score: 1

    Again, who cares? Children are going to grow up and learn the awful truth anyway, so we might as well break it to them sooner rather than later.

    This is pretty bad. I was using my electric toothbrush after I had my house wired for electric internet. I noticed this bad taste, and all of a sudden, I'd somehow downloaded some porn spam into my mouth. Yeecchhhhhh.

    Thank goodness for you goatse.cx is down.

  17. Re:Well put... on Twenty-five Years at the Heart of Gaming · · Score: 2

    > I can't wait until I have kids and they ask me, "Daddy, what was DOS like?"

    When your children ask, you can say "using DOS meant using the most creative visual and auditory environment available: your imagination! In minutes you could be swept up into a world of adventure. Some days I was a pirate, other days I was an astronaut, and even sometimes I was a treasure hunter!" Then you could use that pitch to get them started on books, and when they get old enough, text adventure games.
