yes, let's give those aliens something to experiment on, so they can figure out what bugs to send our way to exterminate us :)

Those figures were vapourware, they never actually produced any of that, they also chose circuits that have an advantage when made in plastic because they do not need to be sealed afterwards.

in my experience, producing fairly large quantities of pcbs is so cheap that it is going to take a very well thought out assembly process to compete with that.

And then there is the fact that a circuit made using this tech is essentially unreparable.

yes, because regular electronics can't be sealed...

So, you just equated religion with using morphine and the scientific method in comparision with heroin ?

I'd like to suggest religion as morphine and science as a breath of fresh air, an open window through
which you allow doubt to enter your life, and the switching on of a bright light that helps you see
more clearly.

Was there ever a more appropriate nickname ?

Let me give you a hint: One of the first things people do when they start speaking is to try to agree on what words have what meanings. Those
who fail to do that will be able to claim just about anything, black will be white, up will be down and days can be any length of time because a
day is no longer a concept with any fixed meaning. If your words don't have a fixed meaning then you have to ask yourself why you are
stretching them so much. Is it so hard to admit that something is simply wrong that you have to stretch the meaning of words to make it right ?

I think the way to interpret that is that 'science works', you can't help but advance science even when you're a priest if you hold to the scientific method.

So, scientists can be religious, it's the method that will eventually cause them to dismantle their own belief system.

To the point where Einstein would try to ridicule Bohr.

It's sad when two titans of the scientific world clash on such a personal basis, but at the same time I'm sure they
both had much more where they agreed than where they disagreed.

Oh, and in the long run Einstein was dead wrong about this. The man was absolutely brilliant and has done
more for us and our lives than many other individuals, but he was human and in this particular case he
was wrong.

There is no shame in that, that's what science is all about. Whether this one reference to 'God' means that
Einstein was influenced by religion in making this error of judgement is a stretch.

statistics is not your strong suit is it ?

If this process is going to be mainstream they'll have to get some kind of cost benefit attached, otherwise the only way there is going to be a switch is through legislation.

This must be a meaning of the word 'only' that I wasn't previously aware of.

network snooping is.

so what you're saying is that you have been wasting the better part of an hour in order to complain about the topic of conversation on a site that you shouldn't even be reading on your bosses time ?

Amazing.

As long as the new bulbs cost more than the old ones + their total consumption in electricity over their lifespan this is a net loss.
