You know, I wonder what'll happen if it turns out that the answer is "Yes."

Seems to me that is what that guy is saying, too.
I think it's an interesting idea, but proving that it is possible to simulate a universe proves nothing about our own.

Wait for it...wait for it...
Coming soon to a forum near you. A retarded comment from a theist that the simulation is from god.

I'm going to email whoever's in charge and ask if I can have my life reset back to the restore point just before it went tits-up. That or get my account closed.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

No we are not a computer simulation. I really hate this crap. What the fuck bothers humans about nature not needing a cognitive hand?
Star Trek superstition is no fucking different than God/Allah/Yahweh crap.
This postulation is simply new age woo in the same stupid anthropomorphism as the superstitious crap in the past.
