Oddly enough, if you look at the conversations, they never mention being from outerspace. The one that talks with David mentions an interest in humans. Those aliens are the evolved MACHINES. Remember when Joe said, "When the end comes, all that will be left are us!"
When the first machine scanned David's head, and then more did, it wasn't ESP, or anything. How can you have a mental connection with something that doesn't have an organic mind? It was an Uplink. Those aliens are robots.
Oh, big shocker there. Bush and Cheney against nuclear power, while we are in the middle of an energy crisis. While the price of gas goes up, Bush and his big oil whore friends are making out like BIG OIL WHORES! This is like if the president were a rat, and we were in the middle of a chesse shortage!
Now the government knows about us? What else is new? I don't know why they are buying the information, since they have that nifty Census thing they can do every ten or so years. And most of the information about us is not where we hide our guns in our houses, or where our children go to school; the majority of the information the corps have on us is our buying capacity, what we like in ads and television. This isn't a terrible invasion of privacy, and it's not the beginning of the Thought Police, this is just the government's attept to......
I really don't know why they would want this information.
Hmm, when Lockheed tried to put this together, they went over budget?
Maybe the Air Force expects to get a nice healthy chunk of that new 2002 budget. You know the one. Federal spending up by 165 billion or so to bring the total spending of the US government in 2002 to a staggering 1.17 trillion dollars.
Maybe they wont go over budget. It's is hard to go over a 1.1 trillion dollar military budget, leaving 70 billion dollars for...I don't know...schools and OSHA, I guess.
After not taking a lesson from the Superbowl before that, Cingular wasted much money to have an overweight, badly dressed man do impromptu interpretive dance, in which he eventually ended up in the Cingular trademark position. You know the postion. It's symbolic of being strapped down and gang-raped be the competion.
This is a wonderful solution, and would quickly settle the matter, if it weren't for one thing.
We are not Chinese
That is a Chinese solution, and would work if we were Chinese, which we are not. We could never say that. The western mind works not like that.
Up to this point, we(the US) have been uttering statements of "regret", with translates to "yihan" in Chinese, with is nowhere near a statement of apology, nor regret. They have been urging for a "dao quin", or a verbal kow tow. "dao quin" means "to say sorry". If Bush knew someone who was fluent in Chinese, he might try "bao quin" or "to hold sorry". It's more of a reflection of regret in Chinese, but none of the face-losing reverberations of a "dao quin".
It was known as the Konami code, and your version gets thirty lives, for two players in Contra. Take out select, and you've got the one player version.
In an SNES "R-Type" game, pausing, and puting in the old code would just blow your ship up, no questions asked. But with "Up, up, down, down, L, R, L, R, B, A, unpause would make you immortal.
Let us not forget the greatness off Pitfall 3-D, for the PSX.
Feautre's Pitfall Harry Jr. wandering around with a pickaxe, saying wonderful things like, "Ah, Demolitions. My first love." "Aw, did you guys NEED that?" And, "Great, I would the only rock in this whole place that DOESN'T FLOAT!!!" in that oh so perfect Campbell voice.
Does this mean they can finally make calculators brighter? Also go white & blue instead of that oh so putrid green and off green?
Sorry, but when I think of "waves of the future", I don't think LED. When I think of the future, I think nano-tech, space stuff, and the like.
Besides, how many advances in the world of LED displays can really be made?
"Well, we can do diffrent colors now."
"Well, we can...um...make it blink, and stuff."
You know, somethign just popped in my head. Are Laptop displays LED?
Oops.
So what? How many other OSs can be plugged-into Internet Explorer? Will whole computers be able to run on Inferno bypassing windows all together? A computer that does the internet, just the internet, and nothing else? I'm confused. If this isn't the goal, what is the point of having a whole OS in IE?
Instead of a general study on how gamers are diffrent from non-gamers, studies should be done on how RPG gamers differ from FPS gamers, or how Tekken gamers differ from Infocom gamers. I mean, obviously, gamers are going to me MORE attentive than non-gamers, certain gamers will be sharper, while diffrent style gamers will be more aggresive. It's the diffrent styles of games that we should look into, not the diffrence between gamer and non-gamer.
"To meet the challenges set forth, DARPA is soliciting devices and machines that accomplish one or more of the following: 1) assist pack-loaded locomotion, 2) prolong locomotive endurance, 3) increase locomotive speed, 4) augment human strength, and 5) leap extraordinary heights and/or distances." Taken from the document online. Look at number 3. Are we looking at jetpack-technology? Sweet. And, did you notice? There is no size limitation on these...oh, lets use the term `Mechs. The future commonly does follow the path of science-fiction... And, one more thing. Did you notice that they kapt using the word "locomotive"? They could have said movement. I think that whoever drew that up just wanted to outline "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a LOCOMOTIVE, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound..." That sort of thing.

As long as it isn't self-aware, I'm cool with it.

So I guess the archery website www.aimandfire.com is next to go, no? They are shamelessly infringing on AOL, obviously.

Does this mean that when it says that it's "all free", it really is?

No!!! Now everyone will know that I'm not a 17-year-old lesbian gymnast named Trish who likes to cyber and enjoys pornography. What ever will I do.
