The most powerful computer ever invented saw time as a continuous event, and not as a line the way people perceive it? No past, present, or future, there's just time.

And this computer makes news reports for each day, detailing events that haven't happened yet. Murders, for the most part.

It also calculates the time individuals have left to live, with the same algorithms it uses to determine the day's events and stuff.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT TOLD YOU YOU WERE GOING TO DIE?

Maybe you'd be struck by lightning. Maybe a blizzard would consume your house, and you would be mauled by angry snowmen. Maybe poisonous gas would leak out of your basement and dissolve your face. WHO KNOWS.

What would your response be? This is important in determining who I can count on during the Apocalypse.

But when that call never comes, it's time to face what you've become - there's no point doing all of this, unless you know you're having fun.

I believe I'd avoid the circumstances in which I am supposed to die, thus the prophecy would abate itself.

If everything's right, what's left?

I don't think I'm strong enough to live with the thought that I know when I will die... I think I'll keep a gun with myself by all times and when the circumstances start to happen, I'll shot myself and avoid too much pain... I guess.

Edit: Is it a definitive death? That means I cannot die until then, right? So I would Rambo my way through life... which may get me in a state of coma until the day of my death, but who knows; I might be a little less careful

Screw this, I'm going a-back to Italia!

If we were really doomed to such, I would plot out my life exactly and then spend the last 3 just Havin' A Time.

CJ: Good! It should be.

Sledge: It doesn't necessarily say what's going to kill you. Just that you will die, and also these other things are going to happen. Think you can figure out the pattern?

Frank: No, that's not 100% how it works. The future isn't set in stone, all it takes is one deviation from the currently expected results to change everything.

Vael: Don't worry, your plotting of your life is already plotted out.

Ah, so you're telling me that this machine tells me: You are going to die X day at X time"? And then it only gives me the events of that very day, for example: "Plane Crashes; Lottery Winning; Murdered convicted to death; etc" ?

And you have to guess which ones you're involved? And if you change things to avoid being in those situations another person will take your palce and you'll die in another occasion?

Yup, that's the gist of it! It doesn't tell you the time, it just tells the day. So it might say "four teenagers killed while hanging out!" and it'd probably be in your best interest to not hang out with people that day.

Of course, because it was plotted out that you would plot it out.
