Isaac Newton was a religious fanatic even by standards of the day. He invented modern science and differential calculus as a side-effect.Rene Descartes was highly religious and formed the basis of modern philosophy, citing God as the basic element of the universe.
So fucking what? All this shows is that they were right about some things and wrong about god. What's your point? If Newton had believed in magic unicorns that lived in his sock drawer, should we believe in them too?

The vast majority of the human population believes in some sort of higher power.
Which doesn't make them right. Once upon a time every person in the world believed that the Earth was flat. Were they right?
Technically my first computer was some kind of clunky Sinclair programmable calculator, which met all the requirements of being an actual computer. But just barely. It was, for all intents and purposes, unusable for anything meaningful.
Next came an Atari 800 with an actual keyboard (not the chicklet keys). Two cartridge slots, two floppy drives (one of which was a "Happy Drive"), and a full 48-fuckin'-K of memory. Whoo hoo!
It had a 300 baud modem which could be set to *any* baud rate, all the way down to 1 or 2 baud so you could actually see the letters...coming...out...on...the...screen...one...by...one.
Now I'm really, REALLY glad they didn't offer me a position. I probably would have taken it and then I'd have had to deal with the fact that I was working for a shitbag company, famous for their complete lack of ethics or morals or decency. I would not have liked that.
So yeah, I'm glad the recruiter I worked with decided that, for whatever reason, I wasn't a good fit there. I feel like I should send him a "thank you" card.
Sooner or later they will start serving the ads through the same host as the videos and inserting them smoothly into the stream, and then adblock won't do anything any more.
Then, like I said above, I'll just mute the sound, look away, and gaze out the window for 30 seconds or so if they start appearing. Or I'll reduce the time I spend on Youtube. Either way I won't play along with their ad-laden stuff.
I see it becoming another Second Life. Heavily monetized, heavily hyped, with headlines about people buying land / designs for huge sums of money. Then it'll crash and burn the way SL did.
Yes, I seem to recall some dingdong who paid $330,000 for a virtual space station in SL...I wonder how his investment is doing.
"The next big step for the game is the introduction of a new marketplace and brand new currency -- within the game itself."
And let the scamming begin!
This will attract loads of scumbags who will pollute and game the system in order to steal money and accounts and whatever else they can get. It happens with every other kind of in-game currency and I guarantee that Minecraft will be no exception.
When Microsoft bought Minecraft they might as well have just renamed it "Minecrap".
The ingenuity of shitbag scammers never ceases to amaze me. They manage to pollute everything, large or small. How I wish they would all die in a fire.
That you have a tube with a large car (piston) basically means you have made the entire apparatus into a large mechanical pump.
Maybe, but I don't think there's an airtight seal between the car and the tube, in fact I think the whole design calls for a minimum clearance to prevent contact problems that would occur at the speeds they're claiming to operate at.
So although you might get some modest leading pressure wave that could be used to help evacuate some of the bulk air, the level at which laminar flow and molecular flow would occur never be reached at all by the vehicle acting as a piston.
Say no more. My pretend company installed Windows 10 and saved over 5 billion percent, and that was just during the first 2 hours.
Sadly, my other pretend company installed Windows 10 and immediately had 4 data breaches, 12 suicides, and went out of business the next week. 67% of the workers also tested positive for chlamydia.

At least this puts christian theology back where it belongs: in the land of make believe.
Now let's all watch the faithful numpties mod me down for daring to insult their delusional fairy tale....
And I was able to confirm that I really could barely taste the cheese.
That's because it's not really "cheese", except through the most generous use of the word.
But yes, those yellow slices of whatever-it-is are about as tasteless as water-soaked cardboard.

Hello, jail time. Or prison time, perhaps. Either way it sounds like they have this clown dead to rights.

I'll just mute the sound, look away, and gaze out the window for 30 seconds or so if I'm ever unfortunate enough to be subjected to one of their ads.
But frankly, with Adblock I never see the ads anyway, so I doubt it'll be a problem.
Why does Microsoft hate its user base so much?
Really, if this isn't one of the most anti-user things they've done (besides Windows 10) then I don't know what is.
It seems like every week they find a new way to say "Fuck you!" to their users.
Bing is still up and running?
As opposed to the natural stupidity that currently runs it? How could the AI be worse?
If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that things can always get worse. ALWAYS.
You do realise it takes quite a while to make a scripted TV show, right? A strike now will make itself felt a lot later in the year.
I don't care if they go on strike and stay that way for the next decade. Really.
Go ahead and strike, we don't really give a shit.
Doctors, firefighters, police, people that build and fix things...if they go on strike, we care. They actually do things that matter.
But a bunch of Hollywood script writers threatening to go on strike? Who gives a fuck?
You ... actually ... you think?
Yes, you should try it some time if you ever leave your basement and your fictional wife.

Fascinated more than obsessed I'd say.
I'm flattered that you find what I do to be so fascinating.
Quite possibly, but at least my posts have an explanation.
So does the way a monkey flings its poop.

Still decided whether or not I'm a Trumpanzee?
You seem obsessed with my opinion on this, which is both flattering and disturbing.
..because they'll never be built.
And they'll have a 100% safety record!
Well, you're not wrong there, lol. (Not counting construction mishaps and fatalities, that is.)

"Using that pretend company"...
Say no more. My pretend company installed Windows 10 and saved over 5 billion percent, and that was just during the first 2 hours.
Sadly, my other pretend company installed Windows 10 and immediately had 4 data breaches, 12 suicides, and went out of business the next week. 67% of the workers also tested positive for chlamydia.
Anyway, my wife says I now have to go and drink whisky, so ttyl.
The drinking explains a lot of your comments.
Can you just go back to waving your cane at twitter users, Mr Old Guy?
I don't have a cane, so no, I can't.

That's funny to watch. This by contrast is just painful.
Yes, science is often funny to those who don't understand it.

PS Are you still convinced I'm a Trump supporter?
Are you now admitting you're not?
