Good point, however, you have to use the definitions of the people who believe in God. Their communication to him is assumed to be mostly one way with the responses coming out of band in a variety of different ways none of which can be confirmed as comming from him. . You can invent a God to prove he doesn't exist, but its actually pretty difficult to prove the Judeo Christian God doesn't exist becuase of the way they define him.

1960's?

The amplifying triode vacuum tube was invented near 1907.
The transistor itself in 1947.

Who said Chernobyl was over? There are still radioactive sheep in the UK for heavens sake!

That's absurd, we bought a couple thousand for our new product to use back in 1997/1998. Out of every ten drives only 9 failed.

Which proves that God, if he exists, is not a machine that can be controlled or tested by humans. Not sure how many people believe God is a machine, but they are definitly wrong.

Unfortunatly, there is no law prohibiting people from making stupid decisions.

As we are all aware of today, there is a difference between patents and life changing products. Edison's greatness was the direction of scientific talent to invent life changing devices. Thats more than simply the silly patents we see today. You may argue crediting him, is like crediting bell labs for the transistor, Unix, and C. And xerox for ethernet and GUI's, instead of the actual inventors that developed them. But you have to love a company that gives inventors the space and means to create. I would have loved to work for Edison

Isn't it obvious? He found a way to create pancreatic cancer. Obviously, those results on causing pancratic cancer will be presented at the mad science fair next week.

No, COBOL is bad. Your post is prety much exactly what I meant when I said its bad. Its not popular. Its not the next big thing that people want to learn. This is why people don't want anything like it, but people do want things like c. C is still cool, still popular, still gets the chicks.

To be fair: COBOL is a *bad* language that no one wants to use anymore. C is a good language that's just too difficult for some people's children, but everyone wants to use something that's kind of looks like it.
