This is an absurd proposition with dire, unintended consequences! This was obviously the same strategy used by the ancient Martians - and guess who ended up with the CO2?! Us!! And then when all those frozen blocks of CO2 melted billions of thetans were released and the globe began warming!! Martiagenic Global Warming!!
...the first rule of Stupid Fun Club is to never talk about Stupid Fun Club!
After seeing their website, I've decided to follow this "first rule" (although I will refrain from actually joining the club) and I also fervently recommend this rule for anyone else who wishes to receive any degree of respect for their opinions from another human being.
"Protecting their neighborhood" by restricting the use of public roads by certain private citizens who are doing nothing illegal, but - for whatever reasons - they (the neighborhood folk) decided they just don't like. Mob rule FTW!
I hope so, otherwise this is Wargames meets reality. If this is a joke, I didn't laugh because I've been watching this ConFlickr worm closely ever since seeing it in action.
But have you been watching it closely enough to be aware of how it is spelled?
Also, your UID and the tone of your post (considering what day it is) loudly proclaim to the rest of us, "I'm new here!!".
"Now get back on the phones, we're all hands on deck for lusers calling in with that Conficker crap."
Of course, with all the media hype over Conficker, combined with the fact that it is April Fool's Day, and it seems likely you're going to be getting a lot of calls from people who think they're Confickered just because they finally started paying attention to how slow their malware (non-Conficker) infested computer is. Along with potential pranksters calling in...I don't envy you...
At least Slashdot's April Fools jokes may bring you a smile...

I fail to see how drawing attention to the parent's desire to have those who disagree with him executed means I'm a prejudicial bastard.
Unless, of course, by your comment you meant: "I agree with the polar_red's main point/comment, and am angry that you have made an observation about him that potentially taints the reception of his main point/comment", in which case I do understand.
I find myself constantly frustrated when nutjobs defend something I believe in. This is not aided by the fact that the other side in a debate has a tendency to focus on the extremists instead of the substance of the argument. But for me, I try to point out the extremists/dogmatists/zealots no matter what side of the debate they fall on.
My sig should tell you : I can't accept people NOT accepting the possibility that we can affect climate.
What your sig actually says: People who believe something contrary to what I believe (i.e. the possibility that we can affect climate) should be executed.
But undergraduate college years are an excellent time to take some risks and go different directions than you may have previously seen yourself going. Do that: universities are breeding grounds for STDs, and you might be surprised at what doors you might open for yourself by trying something new.
Fixed that for you. Kinda gives a weird tone to the whole paragraph, though...
akin to 'changing the tires on a car while you're going at 60 down the freeway,'
This is not so hard. Just design the car with 4 axles instead of 2 and lift one off the road at a time. Helps if it can swivel for easy access to the lugnuts.
I tried that once, but before I had even produced isometric drawings my tire had shredded, and my rim was trashed...

They would frustrate way too many people as they require reading and understanding and at least some degree of thinking.
I totally agree! I love it when illiterate, brain-dead people post on forums! How terrible would the internet be without their contributions!?!
IDK, but if I had RTFA (or even the comment after the OP) before I posted I'd probably have some inkling...
That one seems to have entered the popular lexicon.
I don't think that word means what you think it means...

Coronal Mass Ejection, a big enough one could wipe out all life on earth, and fry all the electronics.
I have a feeling that one of those two consequences won't matter if the other occurs...
I mean, seriously, life would totally not be worth living without my electronics...

George Lucas has done OK, who did he rip off?

Will we one day see a scientific institution operated solely on robots?
Depends on how heavy the institution is, and how strong the robots are, of course...

I am waiting for the **IA to sue Facebook for "aiding piracy.
What do the Retirement Income Industry Association (RIIA) and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) care about online piracy?!?

People who claim we can't influence climate should be locked up in a garage with a running engine.
I can tell by your sig that you in no way can possibly be considered to have a quasi-religious fervour about this topic. Nope. Not you. No way.
Wow. 'Insightful'?! Really, mods?! Really?!?!
