> Thinking positive thoughts is not some miracle worker.
From what I've learned through my own experience, it actually is. But I'm not going to be trying to convince you to anything - you're the master of your own life, and it's only your own choice what will you do with it. I'm just here to report that what I do has worked for me for years now, in the hope that other people might try it out as well. I tried - and my life changed.
I think that it's the USA govt who are the "terrorists". They're, in fact, spreading terror. "There's a terrorist in every trash can! Fear of them! They want to kill your family and eat your candies! But we are SO protecting you from them!"
"Programming" my subconsciousness (which may boil down to keeping thinking of something) seems to work for me. I'm often having long walks on late evenings through the parts of the city considered most dangerous at that time, and nobody *ever* bothers me. It Just Works(tm) for me, might not work for you if you do not subconsciously believe that you're safe.
No, it is because our thoughts (conscious or subconscious) is what makes up our reality. With such a sig, I could imagine how does your reality look like.
(A little to my own surprise) I've found that it is perfectly possible to live a happy and fulfilling life and use no violence at all (and, to even more surprise, not be a subject to someone else's use of violence either). I'm just still a little worried about the rest of the world. Kinda, will they realize that on time.
We think of ordering robots not to harm people, while we ourselves fight & kill. Isn't it just damn hypocrisy?
Why do we have wars? Why are we killing? You have any good reason? Rethink it twice. You're taking a life away. Would you like your life to be taken? Or someone's who's close to you?
Not really. What if there was a "C:\Programs and Stuff\" folder *before* "Program Files" was physically created on the partition? And you've got your stuffs broken again.
> Oh, you people crack me the fuck up. "WoW is addictive!" > No. Cocaine is addictive; it causes [blah blah blah]
BS.
You can get addicted to almost ANYTHING, including a computer, a person, a sound, an emotion... Or, to be specific, to ANY emotion that is associated with doing something, seeing something, thinking of something... See, emotions are also chemicals. Some chemicals get people addicted faster, others - slower.
It's sad how one can get addicted to anger, or to a feeling that he/she's a victim, but I've seen such people. Believe me or not, but you CAN get addicted to a game.
1. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
2. It's also a lot about pushing the boundaries of what a human body and mind is capable of. You know that at the moment we're using no more than a few percent of our brains, don't you?
Yeah. As of 1997 Microsoft had bought almost 90% of the Hell, and released a new circle with each major Windows upgrade or service pack. Hopefully some hackers are fighting to restore Hell's proper function, although they might have screwed with which circle was there for what. Eleventh circle is already almost ours, thanks to Firefox team (didn't you know where the "fire" from "firefox" came from?).
It's worse than failure. It's ugly. It's BAD. It's shitty. I hope it burns in the eleventh circle of hell (the one for bad webpage designs) very soon. I hope that "soon" will be in next ten seconds. DAMMIT.
Nie, Perl jest popaprany. Zdecydowanie wolę Pythona, ostatecznie może być Java. Nawet czasem wolę gadać ze znajomymi po angielsku niż po polsku. Poza tym w moim kraju rządzą jebane kaczki. Ma ktoś pożyczyć parę groszy na bilet na samolot? Boże, jak ja chcę stąd spierdalać...
> English is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn
Bullshit. English is so damn easy compared to, for example, Polish. Polish is the Perl of spoken languages. I speak both, and am a native speaker of Polish, so I guess I can say so.

WE shouldn't be firing weapons either.

Hell, you're damn right! I could as well code up an app for Linux that'd spam the user with root password prompts.
Actually I've managed to run W95 on a machine with no more than 4 MB of memory. Can't remember if it was even capable of running minesweeper though.

And that's how it should be!
Argh, damn mod points, never around when you need 'em. Imaginary +1, Interesting from me, sir.
It's kinda exactly what I meant.

It just proves that "good/evil and lawful/chaotic" is flawed. There is so much more about characters than four bits of data.

Meh. I saw God creating it.

Srsly, at one moment I thought I did read "java".

You insensitive clod, I've been literally LIVING in a garage when me & my pals started our band!
That... Garage... Was like... Home to me.
