This is a test, I'm looking at this app, seeing if it's worth my time. So far, nothing impressive. This thing is supposed to be timing me, I have to type for 5 minutes. Or should I say 'write' instead of 'type'. Lets see: oui[fjrea'prjtpro paojfa'mypiQWHBHVA It did NOT object to that, so I could in theory just monkey-bang on the keyboard for the next two/three minutes and it would be happy. Hmmm... 73 words by 'hmmm', how many by the time I get to five minutes? Is that the 'danger' in "the most dangerous writting app"? Or is it dangerous because it gets one into the habit of flowing out to the written word? If the latter, I may have to try this a few more times.

"Interestingly, both alternative classical mechanics and quantum theories can be supplemented by additional variables in such a way that the supplemented theory is deterministic."

This sounds like "hidden variable" and is not true for quantum physics.

Definitely not. I always hang up on "John Smith from the IRS in Washington, DC".

Use the Jules Verne solution: a cannon.

A solar powered mass-driver could sling a steady stream of pellets from Earth orbit into Solar non-orbit using existing technology.

That being said, burying it deep near the the start of a plate subduction zone makes at least as much sense.

When I were a lad I coded on a 4K Radio Shack computer.
