Yes there is. On Saturday you can ask; "We are still here... So what when wrong then? " :)

No. Well, I mean it might (true on any given day the Earth exists), but it is less likely than me getting into a three way with Selma Hayek & Natalie Portman for example, which is pretty remote, sadly. [Edit] This might be misconstrued that I'd prefer a three-way with Natalie Portman and Selma Hayek than for the world to continue. It's a close run thing, but on the whole I'd have to opt for the world not ending, though I'd prefer the win-win situation of the former happening and the latter not, in case you are in a position to arrange it.

Seems CP is wayyyy ahead of you there. Its just us that really know the truth have not been telling others that we can still vote ;)
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

I saw much posts here in the Lounge about the end of the world. So, I ask this question: "Do you believe in the end of the world tomorrow?"

You're a programmer? Aren't you supposed to be working with facts and logic?? :mad: Which (rational) argument says the world will end? Niburu? Question to you; do you believe in the tooth-fairy? Would you ask others if they believe, and therewith, give credibility to the idea?

No, but the end of the world is a popular topic in the Lounge the last time, that's why I asked my question.

Yesterday I was writing a cheque for some one and I was dating it for today since they won't be able to cash it due to the world ending. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the date format on my cheque was DD MM YYYY. I wrote out the first four characters and then slapped my head thinking I'd mistakenly wrote out the year. :cool:

No. But I do believe in the power of stupidity.

That of course is a non-sensical statement. Just because one is a programmer it doesn't mean they are a Vulcan. Matter of fact I have never met a programmer that was a Vulcan. So at least anecdotal evidence would suggest that they all remain human.

..I wasn't referring to Vulcans. I'm just expecting "a bit of reasonable argumentation", given the fact that the job-description includes mainly "logic". Unless you'd like to argue that hope and prayer are a valid software-development method?

It's not???? :wtf: I'm always hoping my code doesn't break existing functionality and we all pray when it's released to production. Though we gave it a cool buzzword.. Scrum. :rolleyes:

Those however are the only "logical" beings that I know. Humans are not.

You do of course realize that "logic" is based on assumptions? And you are clear on what an assumption is?

By that statement one would also suppose that there would be a direct correlation between ones success at being a developer and ones success at relationships. Or ones success at managing finances. Or dealing with death. Or raising children. Or any number of things. But there isn't. I certainly know very good developers that have very strong spiritual convictions.

..nor was I referring to "logical beings". If you must, I was thinking of Socrates.

Facts, definitions, logical deductions. No, logic is not based on assumptions. Our understanding or reality is.

By that statement alone, yes; but I was arguing that someone who writes software is inclined to work with logic, nothing more. You're making "assumptions".

I still consider myself "Catholic". Shouldn't assume that such makes me a very good developer.
