Ohh great, so you are saying 1984 should have been like 1984. With regards to the Apple commercial.

Lets not turn this into a Mac vs. PC thread again, because like I've said, my PPC 970 can kick your X86 butt.

Then, of course knowing that if I told him something even accidentally that it might end up on this board, I might tell him that everything I might say in the future would be false. Knowing that, he might want to give you a warning that anything I were to let slip, and he were to pass on, would be suspect. I could use that to ensure that everything I said would not be believed, and therefore not passed on. Or if it were passed on it would automatically be interpreted as misinformation, and everyone would assume the inverse was actually true. But knowing that, I could intentionally tell him misinformation, knowing that it would be interpreted as misinformation by him and inverted, and he would then unintentionally post the truth, which would be interpreted as misinformation and - knowing it was misinformation - the inverse (which was actually the inverted truth) would then be revealed to everyone. But since you now know that is possible, I would never do that. But I could just tell him misinformation, and he wold interpret it as such, and then post the truth, but everyone else would think that is was inverted truth and not believe it but believe the inverse. So then they would actually be believing the truth. But we already know that I would never leak out anything true, and since I know the potential for the above scenario, I would never let it happen, so everything that I would tell him would have to be real information only, which would then be interpreted as misinformation, inverted by him and posted as real information, misinterpreted as misinformation by you and inverted to be believed as real information, but since you know I would never reveal real information it would then be believed to be misinformation and inverted again into actual misinformation and incorrectly believed to be real information. Or not.
Ok, here are my thoughts... First, I think Dave would neever post any true information, inverted or not, through himself or through another person. Thhe simple reasoning is that we all will interpret that information differently. Some think one level deep, and will invert it. Others think two, and will invert it twice, and so on. Others will assume it's gobblydegook from the beginning. However, I think Dave might post true information,, if he is ssure that nobody will even know it's there.

On a completely unrelated but related note, I am re-reading "Ender's Game" lattely. It's creepy how many similarities I am seeing between this thread and the Ender's game book series. The pictures of these computer "desks". The series of logical arguments. And so on and so on... In one of the books Bean sends out a note wheen he is in captivity by encoding it in an image of a dragon, I believe. Nobody suspects that an image has anything meaningful in it, so it goes out unseensored. Dave's probably already sent out the game somehow simply encoded in a message. We are too busy trying to figure out his complicated logic when the answer is sitting right in front of us. And he's probably been laughing hysterically at all these posts when the game is literally staring us all in the face. But perhaps, we will not find Davve laughing, anymore.

Oh well eenough procrastination. It's been fun, but I've really got to start my larb report due tomorrow. !!

Yes, yes, back to topic. I doubt we'll ever get any real information about the game ahead of time.

And as for PC vs. Mac - you have no idea how much I hate Windows. I just don't have the green for a mac right now or the time to learn linux (yes, I've heard of Redhat, leave me alone already ).

Hahahah, that gave me a good laugh Thanks lol. This thread is very interesting... I must admit, it varies from Photoshopped images, to confusing philosophy... or maybe it's all a conspiracy? Maybe I photoshoped that picture of Brandon as a decoy for you all to see instead of the main point of this thread? Or maybe I'm lieing? It's like the "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop" theory... the world may never know.

How many licks does it take to get the the center of a Tootsie Pop:

Depends on your definition of 'lick,' and what you count as 'the tootsie roll center'

According to my definition: not putting tootsie pop in whole mouth but licking each side one at a time, and the second i tasted chocolate on one side... i've struck gold

512 licks... 512

But there are so many variables: the rate at which the amount of saliva in my mouth was decreasing at, how much pressure i put on the pop...

the world may never know,

in Atlanta; we should take some statistical data on this

No, Erin is correct, it must be a 2^n quantity.

512 is correct; 1 1111 1111; or 1FF hex.

If her licks were concentrated on two sides it would be 128 licks; FF hex.
If her licks were concentrated on one side, it would be 64 licks; EF hex.

Binary rules!
