There is a British disk called Kedgeree I think you might like ....

Daleks, Cybermen

It was a buggy piece of crap which had microcode issues, weird interrupt routing problems, poorly (at the time) documented peripheral bring up procedures, limited address and bus width (at least in the one I was using), and a slow clock speed

Thanks, I was on my phone and couldn't lookup the exact quote

The Black Hole

Existenz

Event Horizon

Dead Poets Society

In Ian Bank's Culture novels, a neural lace is referred to as "the most effective method of torture even invented by humans" (paraphrase)

Love it and that name cracked me up

NVMeow

Team Rocket. All of them

Timewarp (University of Bath, UK) would be an interesting one to look into as it uses eventual consistency based on oldest known message in the system

Robocop, of course

Logan's Run

I coded for one of them once. It was a terrible chip. Was on a programmable RS232 extender card in our 386

All those are second hand accounts, none of them met him, claimed to have met him, or saw him in person

Free will, babies born with cancer or birth defects didn't choose that. It's just apologetics because you can't accept a god who is visibly absent in all ways

So what makes you so sure you're right and they aren't?

Wut? That has nothing to do with absolute power and literally reality changing capabilities. Any god could instantly cure all disease, stop all war. If it doesn't it's evil

Cop out. As soon as it gets real the religious flee

I'm been dead for 3m, wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Who told you not dying was a result of divine intervention? What about all those other babies who did die? God obviously didn't care about them

What? That makes no sense. The books you rely on were written hundreds of years later, have been translated many times, there are known translation errors. Let me guess, you read King James? The Bible named after the king who demanded it be rewritten so that he could steal the land of the church? The Bible the Catholics call heresy?

Show me evidence of prayer. Pray for a cure for cancer and have it actually happen. You god is all powerful right? Should be easy

To which god? My god eats sanity and will annihilate the world, can you prove it doesn't exist? I look around at the world today and I see more evidence for mine that yours. Your god is compassionate? Millions of people die horribly. Your god is all powerful? Yet it can't change anything

Define "real"? Exists? Probably not. Divine? Definitely not. Resurrection? Absolutely not.

Which god then. The old testament? The new testament? Which Bible? Note that according to the Catholics, the Protestant church are heretics, and according to the Mormons, the Protestant church is not enlightened

They never respond either. It's entirely performative signalling
