LosOjos Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Just seen this via the @KickstarterCrap twitter feed: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/290420897/computers-for-christians Can anyone make any sense whatsoever of this?
pooley Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 That has to be a scam? He goes on about a new operating system? Is this the first "Nigerian King" type kickstarter project?
Arreks Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I don't even want to read all of that, but something tells me the creator of that campaign is enjoying a few too many recreational drugs.
LeMarchand Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Completely barking! I notice there aren't any backers...
Andrew_C Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Completely barking! I notice there aren't any backers...America hasn't woken up yet...
Joanne Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I've reported it to KS. Ben Spoiled sport. Would love to see how much he raises!
plexer Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Thankfully KS haven't yet gone down the route of allowing people to get money from partially funded projects like Indiegogo do, KS have to achieve their funding goal or the creator gets nothing. Ben
Joanne Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 fascinating.... so KS act as a money holding firm.... I bet they make loads on interest!
plexer Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 No, no money is taken until the project is funded at that point KS get all the money, keep their share and send the rest to the founder. Indiegogo takes money at the point of your pledge. Ben
LeMarchand Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 America hasn't woken up yet... Surely even the sort of people who send money to televangelists wouldn't contribute to something just because it was allegedly "Christian"? I'm wondering if it's some sort of joke to see if they would - $10m needed to fund!
sonofsanta Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 the Symbol Matrix Engine changed to the Symbol Matrix Data Object Universe Sounds like the first draft of the Matrix sequels, tbh. $10m at a dollar a time for a "reserved space in the Symbol Matrix Data Object Universe" might take a while, I'm thinking. I don't reckon he'll hit that in a month... Anyone worked out what the Christian angle actually is, beyond "I'm a Christian"?

tech_guy Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I'm gay, an atheist, and I abuse alcohol. Can I buy one? 1

LosOjos Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I'm just skimming through and there is some serious crazy going on here, if I worked at a big Comp Sci/Software firm near to this guy I'd be employing extra security for a while... Also, he has helpfully produced a document detailing the project's scripture correlation. I'm still none-the-wiser. Here's a great quote from aforementioned document: "...but to shit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for whom it has been prepared." Mark 10:40 • There appears to be something going on here, my son's mom hid my Bible from me because she said I was reading it too much so I have not had a chance to fully analyze the message and need to spend some more time on this. I genuinely think this guy has had a mental breakdown, there are lots of references to a woman who "tricked his mind" but he is thankful and has been "for over 10 years" hoping this will fix things... wife left him because he was going bible crazy perhaps?

I've skimmed through the text, and at first I thought it was one of those computer-generated papers on a certain topic (like the ones that occasionally make it past the reviewers and are actually published). But there's the occasional burst of lucidity, which makes me think that it was written by somebody with thoughts, but it doesn't make any sense at all. Edited April 16, 2015 by jinnantonnixx
Andrew_C Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I've passed it onto SMT for translation...From computer weirdo speak into 1st quality "bovine excrement".
abillybob Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I'd of funded it, Brilliant idea 10/10 - Daily Mail, but only on the terms that the thumbnail was changed to this
LeMarchand Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 He's got one backer. Only needs another $9, 999,999 to reach his target!
