In short, if he wants to do science, he *is* wasting his time.
No, he's just accumulating additional evidence using whatever tools he decides to use that he wasn't able to detect ghosts using his methods (assuming that was the outcome of course). It's still science.
Mod parent up. This also (currently) applies to all emotions and other intangibles such as ideas/imagination/creativity/talent etc. etc.
Consider the Heisenberg uncertainty principle - if we know how fast something is moving, we're not sure exactly where it is - does that mean it really exists somewhere or not?
As a society, we're reverting back to superstition and ignorance. We've even given up on even imagining a better future. The only question I ask is: where did it all go wrong? When did the world abandon progress?
Progress towards what, exactly? I keep hearing this word _progress_ but do not know exactly what it means, maybe I need to work on my imagination more...?
You do it to yourself, you do
and that's what really hurts
You do it to yourself, just you
you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

But then I've seen other variants even attributed to other people, so who knows...
Huge suprise. People motivated by in-game rewards of questionable value as a result of grinding, are also motivated by cheap to worthless company 'rewards'. The fact you're grinding together in a group may make it less of a drag than grinding alone, but it's still grinding.
I don't see the point of this 'solution' - it's going to make things worse. The world is going to build a whole bunch of 'better' idiots that will get around the 'magic tool' in ways that will make your head spin. It's solving the wrong problem.
I also don't understand the infatuation with stored procedures. Programming in the database vendors language is horrible compared to most client side languages. You can concatenate all sorts of dynamic queries client side without opening yourselves to injection attacks if you do it correctly. Decent server implementations cache these queries so you don't lose anything performance-wise either
To all those people who made my life a recent misery by writing crap like:
SomeComplicatedStoredProc int @aresonableargument, nvarchar(4000) @whereclause, nvarchar(4000) @orderby
with ridiculous string operations both prior to calling and then inside of the stored procedure in question, lots more lines of hardcoded bits and pieces some of which get used, some not; misleading or outright lies in the comments (if any) eventually followed by an EXEC (@my_funkified_unmaintanable_mess_sql_string)
You all suck. Please desist, educate yourselves and apologise whoever you are.

Rug stores are even better. Rugs are often 90% off - and that's before you start haggling.

Solipsists of the world, unite!
A hybrid, or did you just increment yourself at some point in the past? Wait - can I borrow your time machine?
So what? It still an experience to have, and up to the experiencee to add the meaning.
Flying Spaghetti Monster or Finite State Machine - pick one, both or neither.
The 200,000 confidential informants are all the same individual.
Or to quote Radiohead:

That being said, pain can be a great teacher.

I wonder whether your observation has changed the outcome in this experiment or not?
Actually, if the Mayans are correct, the whole world will by public domain after that.
I think it's this you were after:

It appears it was referenced in his eulogy.
I misread DNF above as "Did Not Finish" which was kind of appropriate (although moreso for 3D Realms than Gearbox).
But if you were really convincing your predator would go: Nothing useful here, just a log - let's try looking over there.

I'm told 'howdotheydothat' is a total bogan, so ignore his/her suggestion unless it is corroborrated by non bogan sources.

Maybe most of us will wait until theres an equivalent version that has adblock/noscript functionality.
