I mean, cum on!

The power supply is analogue you clown and so are the video and audio feeds. As for the digital side - yes I doubt the local TV repairman would be too well versed with figuring out logic errors on a 6510 busline, but he could easily sort a blown electrolytic.

Even so , 8 bit machines were still built to a price - the components were hardly top of the range. I'd be amazed if its been running continuously for 25 years with no issues whatsoever. Also eastern europeans brought up in soviet times tend to be pretty good at repairing stuff for obvious reasons so I wouldn't be surprised if the are plenty of engineers around the area who could sort out the analogue electronics, even if the digital side would be too much.

Which would instantly freeze as soon as it hits the cold vacuum there.

Wow, the chinese and arabs invented the internet, the telephone, the computer, the car, the TV?? Incredbile! Why weren't we told!

Reality check: Yes, the arabs came up with a lot of new maths, the chinese invented gunpowder and a few other odds and sods. But this all pales into insignificance compared to what the west has created since the industrial revolution.

... to run an OS image 50% of the speed it would run on a 386.

Also how exactly does the internet access bit work when browsers deliberately limit the net access they allow javascript?

Delete the last tab on the last line of a python block. Does the code still run? Almost certainly. Does the interpreter give a warning? Nope.

Now delete the last curly bracket from a C/C++/java block. Does the code compile? Not on your life. And if I have to explain why then you have no business giving an opinion on this topic.

Pretty much. Indentation should be about the look of the code in an editor, nothing more. It should be irrelevant as to how the compiler compiles it.

"Forests are responsible for a miniscule portion of oxygen production"

Algae certainly is the main source, but the amount the forests produce definately isn't miniscule.

The discussion is about the amount of molecular oxygen in the atmosphere you dumb cunt, not the total number of oxygen atoms on the planets. Perhaps your lonely braincell isn't getting enough.

... Atheism is a religion in the same way that NOT playing football is a sport.

"Except that many of the "winners" in the Bible are not the superior being"

"It was God's providence, rather than anything good about Jacob, that made him the "winner"."

So helped by fictious superior being who came along just in time instead. Yes, big difference.

You should read Beowolf sometime.

Says it all really.

God knows why you've been modded flamebait - you're spot on. Its just more of the same. And if the current rovers trundling around on mars arn't already exploratory then what the f*ck are they?

Which frankly is all the faction and outright fairy tales in all religious tomes are really any use for.
