...plain old wishful thinking. A Princeton study, Engineering Anomalies Research, claims to test the effects of the human mind on machines, conclusion being that there is something weird going on. Wired reports: "If their claims are to be taken seriously in science, they have to be replicated," Jeffers said. "If they can't be replicated, it doesn't mean they're false, but science rapidly loses interest." Well, we know how tricky so-called natural randomness may seem on closer examination. Or, maybe there really is a robot god, and it's giving us hints at our robot overrlord future through binary backflips. Or perhaps your PC really does just hate you (most likely).
