What I have learned so far form the internets:

1) there is always at least one alternative

2) everything you can imagine can be coded...

3) ...and this is not even that expensive...

---------

But that would lead us into an offtopic dispute, that nobody wants to lead I presume.

1) So if you have one company in the country that provides electricity, your alternative would be? -> draw your own electricity line from Russia??? build your own reactor?
2) code me "how apple tastes like" please, or can you code me an appendix operation? (I should let you know that anatomy of human beings varie a bit so the location of appendix is not always the same)
So back to your first proposition, making my own BB is really illogical.

Anything can be coded. You say code an appendix operation. If a human can do it, then a machine can be programmed to do it. I am under no illusion that it will be extremely difficult, but it can be done.

Just like you can not code creative thinking. Machine can not adapt, it bases everything on "experiences coded" it can not produce new ideas.

That's not true. Creative thinking can be coded, we just don't know how to do it yet.

Consider the human brain, it is like a computer program. It takes in input from the world around and responds. If the human brain can think of something creative, then a computer program can theoretically be coded to do the same thing.

I simply referred to "internet/computer-related things" such as websites, applications etc, so I don't get your point.

To make your own BB you need around $20k and some kind of "storyboard" for the beginning, hire some company to code it for you. I have a friend who makes a living doing such jobs; hiring some dudes from India might cut your cost by some 50% maybe... Is such a task is impossible for you?

Keep watching those sci-fi movies. Teleportation, warp speed traveling spaceships, cyborgs - you name it. We have laws of physics, how living tissue reacts to "foreign" parts, no matter if it's a transplanted kidney or bone replaced with stainless steel prosthesis etc.

Please get back on topic a bit, this is going nowhere.

We know we got problems here, many updates show a small delay and sometimes games show a delay as well. We hope to fix some of these problems in offseason, but this will most certainly require some downtime, thus it's better to wait untill offseason than during the season.

Got carried away a bit. I have made my point some 20+ posts ago :D No need to drag this any longer.

I don't get what your comment has to do with anything I said. All I said was that a computer can be programmed to do anything that a human can. A computer can be programmed to learn, or to "think".

Saying that it can't be programmed is to say that Artificial Intelligence doesn't exist. Which would be ridiculous.
