You're getting shit for that, but I have no recollection of music playing during the game. My computer at the time could definitely handle it, so I can only assume that I turned it off as well.

I remember the beginning of one track (E1M1, apparently) and nothing else.

I have never seen anyone on slashdot claim that "it is all just known" when it comes to human intelligence or the brain. Literally, never.

You haven't been paying attention.

If you want to change the conversation to a metaphysical conversation about the nature of reality and your spiritual beliefs,

The only person talking about metaphysics and spiritual beliefs is you. You've confused "we don't know" with "it must be ghosts!"

Unbelievable...

Comment Mine still works too. (Score 1) 180

and towards the end I got one of the low-profile USB-powered drives.

Got of those, too (the early USB 1 ones, with the exposed ATAPI connector. I ended up buying Iomega's Firewire expansion that attaches on the back of the slim USB and latches on that ATAPI connector, as Firewire 400 had much better bandwidth than USB 1, provided enough power and thus required only a single cable, and I had a cheap Firewire 400 adapter laying around from some video project (funily: the Firewire 400 card was a free bundle bundled with some crappy movie software that was selling poorly and was on heavy sale at the shop I bought it from. Threw the useless CD, kept the Firewire card).

Actually I still have all three of them in storage now I think, and since one is USB I might be able to theoretically recover any data I have on disks still.

Mine still works too. The most difficult was trying to find the barrel power plug (since back in the days I was mostly using the Firewire attachment and because Firewire provides enough power, I wasn't using the barrel jack much. Nowadays most of my machine are USB only.

Zip drives were great when I first got into it

Yup. The slim USB were also a good solution to carry data around.
Bring the slim USB and the cables at the university, download shit with the fast bandwidth, then bring the drive back home, plug into the Firewire attachment and load it onto the computer.
Later the university aquired computers (from Dell) that came with ZIP IDE drive built in, so I only carried the Zip250 disks and kept the drive permanently plugged into the Firewire attachement. And almost lost the power barrel adapter as mentioned above.

Yet you are quick to judge me because I am "religious."

I'm not judging you because you're "religious", I'm judging you because you're a stupid, dishonest, asshole. Your religious beliefs, whatever they are, are why you have a persecution complex, not why you're being "persecuted".

Now, where were with with regard to respect and compassion? I certainly don't see it in you.

Respect? I respect your basic human rights. That's all. Beyond that, I have zero respect for you. Not because you're "religious", because you're a stupid, dishonest, asshole.

Compassion? I have that in spades. For example, I feel bad that you're a stupid, dishonest, asshole. I also don't kill spiders.

I am 100% sure I can get efficiency closer to 10,000x rather than 100x better. And no, this is not exaggerations.

What makes you think you can easily do what countless educated and experienced experts with access to resources cannot?

If you think you have something, do the work and publish. Fame and fortune await.

Well, your argument is bogus. It's pretty obvious that you didn't read the linked article. You made an (incorrect) assumption about what it contained and responded to that instead. The strong implication that you did read the article I'd say makes you a liar. You also seem to be confused about the concept of hypocrisy. Calling out your nonsense is honestly, not hypocrisy.

Now, I certainly have a lack of respect and compassion for you. Not because you're religious, of course, because you're a dishonest prick.
