I have a hard time believeing that nothing spontaneously became something, but that's probably just because my concept of reality is a crazy invented imprepretation of inaccurate readings taken by flawed sensors.
What about the notion that there's not really anything before the big bang because really time and space just infinitely tend towards zero in that direction?

This reminds me that I need to keep reading Snow Crash, even if the first chapter almost made me fling the book across the room in disgust. It is after all, only the first chapter.

No describing a nothing would be opening a sketchbook and not even raising your pen.
There is nothing next to the nothing, because the nothing has no dimensions and therefore can not possibly have borders.

It is a goofy book all the way through.
And there is at least one future incident in which you will fling the book across the room in disgust.

It is really, truly, a nerd's book.
What? What? What's wrong with the first chapter? Admittedly, I haven't read Snow Crash in a while, but that's where you learn just how ridiculous the whole thing is and that's awesome.

no no, persevere and read
for all the silliness there are a lot of cool little touches and "!" moments that are absolutely worth reading
edit: no wait, i'm thinking of diamond age which was dorky but had cool moments
nope. It's space. Which has dimensions, curvatures, all kinds of crazy shit to tell about empty space.
Once again, your dimensions are based on what's around the empty space, not the space itself.
Here's you: "If you start at the center of an empty space and proceed 5 meters in any direction, you will still encounter empty space but the fact that you can measure distance means empty space is not nothing."

The sentence "That is good, that means high turnover for him, fast action, keep moving that 'za." (With 'za being short for pizza) almost caused me just to drop the book into the bathtub I was soaking in because no, bad, BAD.
But as I said its the first chapter and I plan to continue reading it, don't worry.

You... realize that your made up statement having "center" is the only thing wrong with it, and there is no reason to add center but to make it seem wrong?
So... yeah, defeat your own argument.

Is there an easy/cheap way for me to install Mac OSX on my PC solely for testing Mac app/software installations? What is the bare minimum I would need for that? Do I need a separate partition?

Oh, for sure, that was a great gag and MIB 1 was a lot better than MIB 2... But i'm still looking forward to MIB 3.
