Can't believe you even bothered typing that, figured you would know that by now after being here 4 years. :-/

I love it how you're so proud of being a useless dick.

Yeah, but not as useless as having three threads in one month that have all boiled down to the same creation discussion. One thread wasn't even a religion thread and still somehow got derailed into a religion thread. I'm useless, but so is everyone else here as they are beating a dead horse across three threads and still stating the same point of views.

You find it amusing that an allegro/programming/game development site has been hung up on religion threads for a whole month now?

I wonder if there is a God, and if so, did he make the Universe? ???

I'm fairly sure I've experienced things disappearing, but not actually seen them disappear.

Yes, same here. The math says things that big don't disappear (without tremendous force). Still, I find it very illustrative, and helps me keep an open-mind to this kind of meta-physical thinking.

I have been thinking on what it means if there were sort of a 'meta universe' from which ours spawned. Assuming that some 'force' alters a part of this meta universe 'slowly'[1] into what we can perceive, including space and time, it should leave traces of 'parts' of the universe which have 'less perceivable existence'. Assuming space and time were created when our universe was born, these 'parts' would have no correlation[2] to either space or time.
There is however a very strong correlation to time and (the) existence; it seems to begin and end[3] at a certain time. This implies that there is some correlation between the aforementioned meta-universe-force and time. In fact in this reasoning, space-time itself could be leaking into our universe. There might be some other reasoning/measurement, which makes this impossible, but I don't know it. If space-time leaked into our universe, it would (merely) shift the question to: "what is our universe?".
And as I pointed out in the notes, this assumes there is some fluctuation in the meta universe force.

I'm now very curious as to what a laptop would do if you actually plugged one of those in.

Would it short out? Would it lose some extra power through the cable?

If it didn't cause some sort of loop to happen, it would lose a lot of power because of all the conversions. First, most laptops like to charge at > 12V (I think mine is 19v or higher), then the dc->dc converter inside the laptop converts the power from the battery/ac adapter down to 12v, 5v, and 3.3 which isn't 100% efficient, thus losing power along the way. Then that cable would have to boost the USB's 5v @ 500mA power up to something like 20v @ 2A (or more), which I think is quite impossible, but even if it was, it'd be highly inefficiently.

So yeah.

If it didn't lose power, you'd just plaster the screen with solar cells to make a perpetual motion machine.

I love free energy! It's so awesome.

But thats an amusing thought. They actually are thinking of making mobile device screens with mini solar panels in the screens to generate power from the wasted light. It seems the glass panel and other bits of an LCD panel block 80% (or something) of the light emitted from the backlight. So some "bright" people thought it might be possible to recoup some of that energy.

Makes one wonder about one's intelligence when they resort to pictures to express themselves rather than their vocabulary. ML can even verify that those three threads have dominated the forums this month (almost 600 posts between them while some of the threads asking for help or feedback have gone unanswered). Though makes one wonder intelligence too when you don't have the balls to verbally insult a person and rely on pics for it. Guess it is better than "I'm right, prove me wrong!" though.

If there is, no. According to the bible He made earth in the first six days and rested on the seventh day. Don't know about other religions, but I'm guessing they are similar. So that leaves big bang, aliens, or a bigger supreme being over God.

Nah, while annoying at times, I still have my moments ;).

It is just that most the guys here could tell instantly I was trolling, but Stas B. makes it too d@mn easy for me. I always hear that voice in my head saying, "Just because you can do it, does it mean you should do it?" Sadly it is drowned out by the answering voice screaming "YES!!!!!!". :P
