There Is No God

Alright, alright. I was having a bit of fun. But I know I was actually wrong, and I am man enough to admit it. When I said:

I was clearly in error. This thread has proven that there is no God.

Mission accomplished.

But then it was announced that MGS Peace Walker is getting a PS3 version fixing the control flaws.

Thus, there is a God. (Also, God is not Hideo Kojima.)

Because it is more profitable.

What does this question have to do with explaining how you can't convert an analog carbon based life form into a digital silicon based life form?

How is a master that is digital in the year 2011 act as a counter point? Are we going to start birthing digital robot babies so your point will carry over?

it would still be a copy. I doubt you can get zero loss when copying one analog medium to another. At the very least, you'd copy all the flaws of the record onto the new record + all the flaws of making the copy

Maybe with your eight-track-to-speak-and-spell-to-digital-to-vinyl bullshit you guys do in Tornado Alley.

It's not even about loss.

It's about the fact that the original is still there and a copy is just a copy. You're right, but don't lose it.

1:1 = 1

Except now...





...there are two.

You're just being a silly fancy lad now.

I know. But Yeller isn't being serious. He's board on the bus or something.


The only way I see of achieving what Josh thinks he wants, is if we developed a completely different kind of computing hardware. We'd have to go back to analog computing, and we'd have to do it genetically. But were not anywhere near doing that. And we may never go in that direction. It may not appear profitable or desirable. And if we do do it, you're just taking your brain out and putting it in a bio organism. You've made a computer that interfaces perfectly with the human brain, so their is no need to make copies. Or you might genetically engineer people were they can communicate like a hive.

Which is all as likely at this point as a big flying spaghetti monster. No one here will live to see it.
