  1. It is actually not terrible. It is super simple. More or less a socket.

    Outside of Office, the only other app that may be currently used that supports this archaic API is mIRC. And my GEOCad system and my (META ) CASE System.

    1 - The sunlight DOES pass through more atmosphere in the summer. Take some geometry classes.
    If you live on the northern hemisphere and talk about what northerners call summer, then no.
    I suggest you take your own advice and take a geometry class.

    My highest flight altitude was 13km, and you can clearly see from there that the earth is a sphere.

    If he really was a scientist the first thing he'd do is ask a friend to hop in a sailboat and watch for a few hours, when the sailboat vanished over the horizon, exactly as predicted, he'd go "huh, so I guess the earth is round after all".
    Hu? What has that to do with science?
    You go uphill and then vanish behind the hill ... is the earth now "flat" or a sphere?
    You ride a boat and vanish ... are you behind a hill on the water or is that indication for a sphere?

    Sorry, calling other people dumb only makes yourself look dumb.

    he's just a religious believer playing science
    With the same likelyhood I could say he is an atheist.

    Why is every idiot on the planet convinced that all the other idiots are religios nutcracks instead of 'normal' nutcracks?

  6. That is why I like to mock people by asking: which god?
    And if they say 'my god' to often or even 'Oh My God!' I reintroduce myself: 'Just Angelo, for you just Angelo'.

  7. I would not call those countries 'barely religious', particular not Spain, Portugal and Greece. AFAIK scandinavia is quite religious still, no idea about Finland and Estonia in particular, though.
    Germany is mainly atheist, but many atheists join church rituals out of habit, e.g. marriages, baptizings etc.

    You can buy the pasta ready made. Just like Spaghetti.
    But the true trick is: use a really big pan, make enough for 4 or more meals. Just cook them like 75%, and freeze everything you don't need.
    Now you have your home made super Lasagne, ready in your freezer.
    Making your own pasta, especially for Lasagne is super easy as well.

    I rather would prefer that all religious people agree that there is only one god, and that he/she walks in many avatars and names.
    There is no need to hunt or convert other people to other religions.
    Bottom line they are all the same anyway: worship your parents, love your kids, live a righteous life.

    I usually use a cooking recipe analogy.

    On top you have the items, like onions, eggs and bacon, this are "kind of variables" or values.
    Then you have your cooking gear, that is more or less a variable (the values get stored and transformed there)

    And now the procedure how to prepare the meal.

    If you can come up with a "correct" cooking recipe you can basically program.

    The rest are details.

    Of course you can jump to multiprocessing by explaining that a cooking pot can only be used by one cook/processor at a time etc.

    Or to requirements engineering by asking: what do you want? Breakfast or a desert?

    Or scaling: do you want a dinner for two with 4 or 5 courses or a full day treatment for a wedding with 200 guests?

    Sure they are real, but no one in a swing by will ever feel them.

    The difference in atmosphere presure between your head and your feet is 1000 times bigger than the difference in gravity if the moon is directly above you or on the other side of the planet.

    You can calculate the difference, but hardly can measure it.

    The design problem is exactly the same.
    And the preassure differences are 10 or up to 30 times stronger in a submarine than in a space craft. (100 - 300m diving depth in a submarine versus 1 atmosphere pressure in a space craft - they actually run them on less than an atmosphere)
