You're right... I should have said "an action situation that causes you to do something or don't do it." That's more in line with the binary yes/no code... do it (1) don't do it (0), IMO, the only action choices a human or computer has. 10101010101010

And that "opinion" booswah again.
I repeat, for what seems like the umpteenth time: unsupported opinion is worthless, even if it comes from Saint John the Freakin' Revelator. Pull that IMO nonsense in our debate -- we are having a debate, right? -- and I will treat you most unkindly.

This kind of binary?
000) You do it.
001) You don't do it.
010) You tell your kid to do it.
011) You tell your kid to do it and they refuse.
100) You tell your kid to do it, they refuse, but you make them to do it anyway.
101) You think about doing it tomorrow.
110) Before you can decide whether or not to do it, an external event resolves the action. Now you can't do it.
111) While you're deciding whether or not to do it, your wife goes ahead and does it and then holds that fact over your head for weeks.

How can you possibly have a valid opinion on something you don't even understand?
Here's a clue... It's how all digital technology works... Your TV, computer, some cameras, some cars.

You tell me. That's what you're doing all the time.

I marvel at the debt of your knowledge...
Here's a clue. I know perfectly well what binary is. It's just that what you said is completely meaningless in every way possible. |

Dave, the sooner this loser is booted, the sooner my ulcer and my blood pressure will normlize.
From the first post, he's been bullshitting us, and it's getting time to flush.
For a moment, cantbe323 looked promising for a contrarian to debate, but this guy isn't even a one-trick-pony.

They are unsupported until reference, that itself can be studied and picked apart, is produced. You have produced exactly none.

And fishing for sympathy won't work, either. In your alledged 84 years, you should have learned better.

Please, spare me. No one's scared of you. What's to be scared of? You have yet to answer one single question or provide supporting evidence.
Scared? More like annoyed in much the same way that a mosquito is annoying. But you are much easier to swat. |

They are unsupported until reference, that itself can be studied and picked apart. >>
What kind of reference are you refering to, scientific books, scientific theories, or scientific archives?
Myself, I look for visible cause/effect, and if there is no visable cause, I question any reference to it.
