Perhaps this should be in 'news of the weird', but make of it what you will: link |

The ultimate Existentailist hoax! |

So… according to this theory, God is a basically a giant nerd with too much mainframe time available… |

Well, that certainly explains a lot, but watch out for the Blue Screen of Death. |

Yes. One day his Mom will throw his out of her basement and clear out his stuff and we'll be done for. He will be heard to say, 'Armageddon outa here.' |

Then how come when I screw up, Ctrl Z doesn't fix it ? |

Beta? hell we would be lucky to qualify as an Alpha |

"Using the historical development of lattice gauge theory technology as a guide, we assume that our universe is an early numerical simulation with unimproved Wilson fermion discretization and investigate potentially-observable consequences." Well duh! |

I seem to remember that this experiment did not end well on "The Outer Limits". |

I think Aasimov has a story where Tibetan monks believe the world will end when they have written all the names of God. They hire an IBM consultant to computerize the process. He turns it on and gets it going properly, as he leaves the monastary the stars start to go out. |

Always suspected as much. My HR manager is a virus. |

Funny how it came out on a Thursday… |

He turns it on and gets it going properly, as he leaves the monastary the stars start to go out. I think you mean, "The Nine Billion Names of God" by Arthur C. Clarke. Great story. |

"Using the historical development of lattice gauge theory technology as a guide, we assume that our universe is an early numerical simulation with unimproved Wilson fermion discretization and investigate potentially-observable consequences."To translate, if energy signatures in our simulations match those in the universe at large, there's a good chance we, too, exist within a simulation To translate again: At the top of the Geekdom pyramid sit the Ubergeeks. At the very apex of this pyramid sit the computer geeks. I think, deep down, we all suspected this. |
