Of course. I didn't mean that you should be content stopping at "it just does". I meant that you have to at least accept that you will ALWAYS say "I don't know" to something, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you wouldn't do well in a scientific field. As Neil Degrasse Tyson put it: "scientists are steeped in…

Did a bit of research, and interestingly enough it's not the Earth's magnetic field that does it...it's the electromagnetic field around lightning :) .

It's like I said, it's the AWARENESS that's different. And I also said it's very difficult to explain simply because our language doesn't have much in the way of defining awareness. I don't believe awareness is simply a product of memory, and I don't believe that two different beings can have the same awareness. Your…

Works for me.

I'm not sure if a dictionary attack is technically brute forcing...but this is all just definitional semantics.

I don't float, I swear! I SWEAR!

Um...unless I'm mistaken, I believe we DO know how they occur. Magnetism is formed when the electronic domains in a metal oscillate in sequence. Natural magnets form when metals are built up slowly within the Earth's magnetic field, aligning their electronic domains.

True, but at least in the case of Tiles and Mosaic, we've already found IT-related trademarks for then :( . I like Mosaic :( .

That must be what I saw before.

You say we don't know why gravity works. That may or may not be true...first you need to define the question a bit better. What do you mean when you say "why does gravity work"? Do you mean "for what purpose"? If so, then that implies there's some intelligence behind the laws of nature. Given what we know about the…

Sounds legit. "You know, I think that light looks much better when it's focused at about 25 steridians from the table surface."

You...don't know who Neil Degrasse Tyson is? YouTube him! Now! You're missing out on one of the most awesome scientists of our time!

I don't have a 3G capable phone, so no. But I wasn't talking about streaming over the cell network. I swear I remember reading about phones that could receive digital TV broadcasts (over-the-air) a while ago....like, at least a year ago.

I have the Rumor Touch now. They still have non-smartphones, they just aren't updating them anymore so they're all stuck in old-school design mode.

Nope. *Gets on my Firebolt and flies away*

I WEIGH MORE THAN A DUCK, I SWEAR!

*Oblivio!* Nope.

Is there a difference?

Sure. Enjoy the high-energy protons that tear through your body while you eat them.

Fuckin' magnets. I know how they work :P .
