What has all the fuss about the most pseudo scientist of the last decade to do with interesting news here? Is it only because he is -- very handicapped? Living in Europe, the scene here is very contradicting: most handicapped people here ar

Parallel Universes? Could anybody here please bring some credible experience from this field? You know, just like the Christians, who are able to report even daily experiences (see Medjugorje). I never ever heard of anything less proven tha

I would really be interested in his first experience after death... Will he be able to find a way to communicate to us? That would be really ingenious, because all of the rest is only opinion, and opinions are all and always questiona

Sexy sells? OK, but why stop there? You can get more and faster with a bank robbery. I don't understand you people.

Following all kinds of human intercommunication, I'd say that this percentage only reflects the equivalent of really important communication on the positive side, and trash twitter (of our everyday life) on the other one.

"Fail" is the wrong term. The sincere love between a "male" and a "female" human being (if I name them "man" and "woman", maybe you won't understand, would you?) isn't considered a value anymore... If it were some business, we would care mu

It is the wrong question: There are lots of possible candidates for it, but communism ruined it all in China. Anyway, left are: 1) Africa (don't underestimate it, it could grow much faster than any other country, iff it only could free itse

You got it all wrong: native English folks should be forbidden to vote on this comment. Anyway, believe me or not: you English ones are certainly the most ignorant in culture anyways; all of non english folks around the world would agree on

The English language is certainly one of the most flexible ones, on the positive side, and one of loosest ones, on the negative side. In English, even the most stupid thoughts sound right, just because of the language-culture itself. So, it

HN is slow lately because PG is a dreamer and too much tied to personal and insignificant taste details (which never combine with a greater user base): HN should have been written in CL . ;)

Time only needs a beginning, it doesn't need and end. Nobody can prove the Big Bang theory without-a-doubt: we only could rise theories against it, or bring facts against it, but it will stay an unproven theory forever, very similar to math

And how would you try to express something which is outside of our own possible experience? Sure, you could say "eternal present" or something; doesn't seem to sound much better...

Never mind, I hate Haskell. And since I'm too lazy to learn it, I'll hate it maybe forever...

There is a theory that we only do exist because there is an entity outside of time which 'thinks' us continuously.

What the future will bring us: nobody knows, there has never been anything really similar in history... The causes are very simple to describe: our (temporary) so successful economic system didn't follow many moral rules. And now we are al

Sure, because all of technology and all of science don't really feed our soul: so, our souls grow thinner and thinner, and our heads feel more and more overweight. It's like eating straw all day long: at the end you are full of nothing (r

A color has the color we see because it absorbs all the other colors and only reflects the seen one. So it's the same soup either way.

There is macroevolution (molecule-to-man theory) and microevolution (no increase in complexity and no new species). And then there is natural selection, which decreases the amount of variation of a species. It's very important to keep diffe

The base of ten is the most natural one (if I remember well, we all have about 10 fingers), and it is the most important one. Remember that math is only of use if it can be applied to real world problems. Other bases than 10 are only intere

Since I'm no cryptography specialist, I always use the only really secure method (sure it can't be applied everywhere): My keys are unique and of the same length as the data.

In my experience, OO is a good thing when you are able to imagine the 'objects' in some real-life representation (like GUI elements which are generally represented as 3 dimensional physical objects). Otherwise OO tends to be too abstract to

Identity is not the problem. And identity is always strong, and has to be strong to be able to achieve great things. We are all very vulnerable when it comes to things that are rooted deeply in our own live (read: soul). So we behave quite
