I always wanted to make an iPhone call from 1000 feet deep. Of course, that big air thingy sticking in my mouth is kind of a hinderance, but go technology!
The proven existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life will have a profound effect on a lot of people's core religious beliefs. That alone will have a major effect on society and it might just turn a few people away from their outdated superstitious beliefs. I consider that a tangible benefit.
That's ridiculous. That's like saying an airline pilot knows about the latest top secret fighter plane designs. Personally, I find it a bit hard to believe that a civilization is smart enough to travel interstellar distances but too stupid to use basic camouflage.
This sounds ripe for abuse. For example, a heavy censorship nation like China could use this to block critical sites that they claim are 'attacking' them far more efficiently than their current human-based censoring.
Exactly. I bought almost all of my hardware (aside from the computer itself) and software with allowance and odd job money, and that was back in the 80s and early 90s when it was relatively more expensive. I remember saving up to buy an Atari 2600 when the price was reduced to $50. No, I didn't get the newest and best stuff, but it all worked and worked well. I didn't get an especially high allowance either, I just knew how to save up for things I wanted and how to work jobs around the neighborhood to make up for the income. Any other resourceful kid (and there a lot of others) would do the same thing.
My parents took away my 2400 baud modem when I was a kid, so I spent my allowance on a 9600 baud modem without telling them and only used it when they were asleep or out of the house. Kids are a lot smarter than legislators give them credit for.
Could anyone tell about Rorshach's mask? I always pictured it continually in (slow) motion, almost like a lava lamp... but it looks like the blots were unchanging. Maybe it just changes from scene to scene?

Isn't puzzle-solving the entire point of most alternate-reality games like Year Zero and Lost Experience?
iGuess iDo.
Which you do with an iPhone, therefore it is an iPhone call.
Are they still towers if they don't tower over anything?

We still have that wrecked Goa'uld starship's hyperdrive.
Of course, then he would have to only go to an apple-certified doctor to access them or he'd void his own warantee...
So did Jesus die for the aliens' sins as well or are they all just bound straight for hell?
I don't fucking care & refuse to show any respect, or even read anything you've said after it.
This is why we need people to be more rational.
Shit. Sorry. This reply was meant to go to the message below.
Oh, well that explains the peacock.

There goes my prostitution business.
Oh yeah? Well... uh... SHUT UP.
So there.
What's to say there isn't a whole world existing in the same space as us, and we just cant perceive it.
On a wild guess, I'd say physics.
I think you would greatly enjoy "They're Made out of Meat" by Terry Bisson.

didn't even work back before kids were internet-savvy. Look how quickly kids learned to bypass the V-Chip on the TV.
Congratulations to the state of New York for yet again wasting tax dollars on telling people how to raise their kids.
I totally want a realistic looking gun with real bullets that just causes whelts.
It never rains in sunny California.
