...pre-Socratic philosophers did the same thing. Leucippus for example, was the first one to put forward the concept of atomism, and that was ~400 BCE.

Hacking Roulette, was doable back in the 1960s. These guys from MIT built the world's first wearable computer, and were able to predict where the ball was going to land.
I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a...fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
...that there was plant material on the animals teeth. I would of thought that an ice age would cover the land with snow and kill them via starvation. Does this suggest that the colder temperatures came very suddenly and without warning, as there were still plants and inscects around to eat?
...irks me a little. When I give away my CPU cycles what do I get in return? I get a product that I helped bring to life, but I also have to pay for it.
Weather reports are not bad though, I just pay for them by viewing annoying advertizing. The projects that really annoy me are the ones used to design drugs to fight cancer or some other like disease, because the information from these projects will be used by pharmaceutical companies to sell me drugs!
If we are going to use ditributed computing to solve problems, the solutions should really be free or discounted for the general public, because they donated their computers cycles, and shouldn't be forced to "pay" twice.
Do these guys hang out in the middle of the desert looking for aircraft for fun, or is it for monetary gain, ie selling information and pictures to magazines?

It's a trap!
...my TV was picking up radio signals from the local hospital. I'd turn it on and listen to all the code blues being called out.
