I believe the GP was referring to the plastic portions of laptops, which are largely synthesized from oil and natural gas, not silicon.

You must have missed the bit about "Three fowl plays and you're bunted out!"

That's a reference to the "three strikes and you're disconnected/banned at the ISP level" legislation that has popped up in various locales, lobbied for by the media industry folks. As far as I can tell, the source of your whooshing was a joke in a joke, and I must say I found it pretty amusing.

Three things seem plain. First, the poster appears to believe that applications may be rendered multithreaded by mere virtue of the programming language they are written in, without special consideration; in other words, an application that would otherwise be singlethreaded may be made instantly multithreaded without special work.

Just what are you trying to imply here, something or other about programmers, sheep, and conjugal concerns? You've got a sick mind my friend, just plain sick.

The expression "observable universe" doesn't work either.

While it would certainly be a better technical description, many people might have difficulty understanding the expression "islands of causality." The term "universe" is more widely understood by the general populace, and hence the expression "multiple universes," or "multiverse" if you will, may be more easily understood by a broader audience.

The belief that such interaction does not occur does not rule out the possibility that such interaction may be possible given certain circumstances.

Direct interaction with a system is not the exclusive means available for testing a system. Mathematics is especially useful in such scientific pursuits. You appear to confusing science with engineering.

You can store BTC offline quite easily. Copy a (hopefully encrypted) wallet to a couple of thumbdrives.

I always encourage people to look into other alternatives; some folks swear by C shell, although I don't have much practical use for anything for than bash, Perl, and the usual suite of BSD and GNU utilities when it comes to system automation and other tasks.
