    He didn't said dangerous, he said click-bait

    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Apparently I do not understand the importance of the distinction. Wikipedia reports the term as a misrepresentation. Ok. But so what. That merely alters the inquiry. If the bait is swallowed one will find no misrepresentation only numerous brief humorous articles re/ internet from which the title is quoted.

          spam[^] will never be solved, it's contents remain a mystery...hence the term mystery meat.

              On similar lines : - "It is impossible for heavier-than-air machines to fly" - Lord Kelvin in 1895. - "Everything that needs to be invented has been invented" - Commissioner of the US Patent office in 1899.

                  Don't believe anything Clifford Stoll or Robert Metcalfe says. Half of the predictions are by them and they're all very wrong :~ The last one about snow being a thing of the past is slowly becoming truth. We used to have snow every winter when I was younger. We now have it maybe a few days per year and not nearly as much.

                      Problem with that one is: a) Everybody's needs are different b) As things are being invented, new needs will invariably arise I agree with that one being short-sighted. OTOH, I would also agree that more and more "inventions" nowadays seem dumber than ever.

                        You could add that as a synopsis in the post as to why someone (not me) might want to click the link.

                              With perhaps the exception of zero pollution manufacturing honest politicians and of course teleportation from my cozy home in Antarctica to my job on one of the moons of Jupiter.
