Seriously, you have to offer stuff to God. Use your head -- what might God like? Praise, attention and entertainment come to mind. You gotta pay to play, so I know better than to play the lottery. I do generate random songs from the same timer sampling technique. Some are good, some not-so-good. It might be correlated with offerings. He mentioned honest scales once, implying you get a response in proportion to the quality of what you offer.

In the publicly released version of LoseThos, my operating system, I have a scaled-back random song generator with only one sampled timer value per song. The version I use samples the timer multiple times for note, duration and accent. Got lots of good songs. Adding words to songs, making hymns is a good offering to God.

God says...

I'm not a liar, am I? What's He talking about ;-)

There's a lot I don't know. I laugh heartily at spies and security people given the existance of God, angels or clarvoyants.

With my technique, God must do all the math so when I press a button and the signal makes it's way through the hardware and software, the timer is read at just the right time. I don't tend to imagine dead people, since Mhz and humans don't mix! It's not telepathy--there is no external way to know the state of the computer's timer and no observer mind involved. "The Holy Spirit" is a logical conclusion. It's descriptive.

I can use the "random" numbers to pick a line number into a book, like the Bible...

random passage:
word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them
that heard it.

4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I
have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the
works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise,
And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and
they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after
so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.

4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have
spoken of another day.

The first situation is fine, but the example is poor. "on my first raid"...there are many rules. If a raid is not executed perfectly, the raid WILL wipe. 'not valid' is a comment born out of inexperience.

dude, STFU

The comments on that ESP website are depressing. It took me about 2 seconds to figure out the trick as it is definitely the oldest one in the book. Are people really that dumb? I guess that's all his experiment proves.

I emailed Cliff about it several years ago and he replied, in part: "My guess is that most people see it's a trick after a few tries, but some don't. I don't have statistics that tell me the ratio of the two classes of people. (After all, only a small set in both classes e-mail me.)"

I figured out the ESP test in case anyone cares.....
they're all different cards.
