Let's pretend for a moment you weren't lying on your side when you replied.
Suppose (i.e., 'let') ∞ = ∞ => eight=ate ?
I think not!

Ergo, ∞ ≠ ∞. QED.

As Pterry taught us, what matters is that you never ever name it. 6+2, 2 times 4, whatever but don't name it directly.

2 X 4 = 8 and 2 to the 3rd power = 8. I have 2 dogs with 4 legs each and that makes 8, I just eat lunch.

In my experience so far, almost every time someone posts something like this, they're from India. Is this a cultural thing? Do you guys say these things to each other a lot? Do you actually believe in this?

If someone tries to calculate 6 + 2 by shifting beads on a wire when a calculator is available, I might have something to say about their methods.

Since I did an intensive search for RFID related hardware, 80% of the ads in CP points to the site I most visited during the search...
So Google! I already bought the hardware from that very same site! Stop!

It's only for a prototype (and the budget is - in theory - endless)...

Yup. Same thing I saw regularly before my content blocker obliterated most of them. They either frantically push something I already bought (often including from the vendor I bought it from), decided not to buy, or was only researching for someone else and had no intention to ever buy. I can only thing of 1 or 2 times when the ads were for something I was researching but hadn't decided to buy yet. Oddly enough, none of the vendors who were stalking me in ads got the sale. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

And that, my friend, is the scam that is "big data".
You buy a hat, you'll get nothing but hat ads. But marketers insist they need to spy on you in order to "give you relevant ads you actually want to see". Don't buy into that lie, they're still clueless.

If Microsoft stopped making browsers, developers would spend less time and electricity trying to make their web apps / sites work in IE when they work perfectly fine in all the other browsers.
IE 11 / Edge included. What a joke.

Or ... developers could stop making web apps/sites, turn off their computers and go and do something that doesn't require electricity at all instead! It's not like we haven't got enough to be going on with, now is it?

Shut down Facebook at night.
Heck, no, on second thought, that means even more people will do that during the day instead.
Shut it down permanently?

I am seeing more and more websites asking for an adblock removal, and more and more articles on programming forums about blocking adblockers. This seems to take the same path as the tank vs. rocket where the former gets layers of shielding added while the latter gets multiple perforating charges added.
But why do websites need blocker of adblocks ?
People do not click on online ads, so adblocks do not prevent revenue because people do not go there first place anyway.
And once the ad placement has been paid by a company, why should the website care about whether the user disables them on his side ? Do ad-buying companies really request ads to be effectively displayed, no matter what program the user runs ? This is a lost battle...

I get revenue from ads on my website, people do click on the ads.
I have to do this because people are not willing to pay for or donate for the software despite the hundreds of thousands of downloads against my software(so the software can't be completely crap).

Unless it is blocked; which I keep doing. Not just from a security-point, as it is serving all kind of outdated flash and silverlight, also to limit the cost of my communications.

I think you have a completely valid argument here.
I don't care for ads, but I don't mind them either.
The only time I even mind ads is when they:
1) automatically start playing a video -- annoying and resource intensive
2) automatically start playing audio -- annoying
3) force me to click something to close them so I can read the content -- intrusive and slows me down
The ads at codeproject are okay, because they just display something and leave me alone.
It's a fair trade for the free content.
