Backing up a little, re: "It is a Nintendo product, and to some people Nintendo makes kids games." GI gave Pikmin 2 "game of the month" when that came out. So that's not it.

What hhallahh said. We're assuming for the purposes of this question that we know completely... so under that belief, even if we're batshit fucking crazy, it's better to eliminate the child.

Of course, it depends on the specificity of the prediction. If all we know is that the child is going to "cause a war", causing deaths etc., perhaps it's his unjust execution that would provoke this.

This question is often framed in the context of a mysterious supercomputer that has predicted everyone's future career perfectly for some large number of years, such as five thousand. Then one day it predicts this kid will bring the downfall of civilization, blah blah blah. The question is unrealistic, though: it is based on the assumption that we know for a fact what the kid will do (the "supercomputer" is just one way of trying to get this concept across), and is therefore more a question of heart (or balls) than ethics. Will you kill the kid, if you KNOW he's going to fuck it all up?

In real life, obviously, we never know for sure. And it's rare that there's a situation where we have a kid who will probably do something horrible in the future. All this question weeds out is the people who say "no" to killing the kid, who will definitely stay on the passive side in a real-life scenario where the outcome is not certain.

This question could be applied allegorically to any number of situations today, but who cares? It really doesn't mean anything. I say, kill the kid in this scenario, but that doesn't mean shit in real life. =(

Yes. Go find out the "???" step for us though.

...
Took me a moment to get the south park reference. =(

I have a suggestion! Update some forum descriptions. For example, apparently Femine is "still the boss" of Anya and Christi's corner. And then there are the classic yet oddly worded descriptions like "In this world, there are languages that cannot be spoken. These languages are C, VB, Java, Cobol, HTML, PHP and many others. So ... talk about programming here!"

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I'm sure Jesper would back this as well - it wouldn't take too much effort (a few regular expressions maybe) to make the html much more shiny and happy by doing things like adding quotes around attributes, and other strange "compliances." Tidy has a lot of complaints too, like starting nonstandard <nobr> tags and then not ending them. Or not ending <td> tags. Lots of &nbsp without the terminating semicolon. And other nits. Which I pick.

I asked Marilyn Vos Savant, and she came back with this:

"at at at at at at at at at at"

From this I can deduce that your name and thread refer to a practice known as "cratckin", which sounds like a COMMUNIST PLOT to me. I cannot accept you in my club. I don't apologize.

True, if he has to replace the CPU and RAM... but even if that's the case, a socket A motherboard (with an AGP slot), a decent (by today's standards) CPU, and enough RAM to equal what he probably has already could be found for under $200. That alone would be a big improvement, and it opens the path later if he wants a good AGP video card or anything else.

Of course, I don't really know what I'm talking about, so if I'm entirely mistaken feel free to ignore me.
