My psychic friend once ventured into the nether realm, where time became fluid and dynamic giving him the knowledge of everything past, future, and present. He once told me the tale of mankinds destiny, the fate of humanity in the end. And it begins strangely similar to this.
In eons that will have been the human history, we will be called Homo presingularitum (before the technological singularity) as mankind continually carries the name Homo sapiens with its progression through the constraints of flesh and physical form. At the end of the epoch known in the future as Mortal Man, Al Gore forever altered humanities destiny when he invented the internet.
For the first time ever, the total information of humanity was accessible by computer to anybody and everybody. This also meant that anybody could add their own materials into the conglomeration of human information. Suddenly all known economic models were rendered useless as every individual had access to everything and no longer needed traditional middlemen like stores, recording labels (anybody could record themselves for next to nothing in overhead costs, eliminating the niche the labels had occupied for the history of recorded music) and Microsoft.
This caused the Great Depression of 2008, which led to WW III, where Germany finally wins, ushering in a progressive era of collective societal pursuit towards the technological singularity. Upon the conception of A.I. humanity combines itself with the internet to match the intelligence of A.I. The advancements in medicine and science make it possible for populace to live forever. Then humanity solves the answer to the universe and becomes one with it.
And so my friend tells me. Perhaps he really is psychic. Im convinced.
Ahh, good old torrent leaks. This brings me back to ought 4 when the French released Halo 2 weeks before the official release date. Those were good times...
Why don't we just use a regular microscope on whales and learn their language? Then we could strap cameras on them too and have them explore the oceans for us.
I am currently in Argentina, studying away from all my friends and family, and can say that since I am no longer at my "party school" I have no need or desire to be on facebook. Since there are no parties to go to or drunken adventures to recollect, I simply don't use it now. And what I have found is that I enjoy not being connected to people. Having a break and spending time alone allows you to grow personally and determine what one truly desires in life. Since I have been here (3 months) I have only contacted those few closest to me. When I return will be the time to tell my casual friends and acquaintances how my journey went, which is far more meaningful than 2 sentence wall posts with tagged pictures of myself.
If I am going to talk with someone via the internet, instant messenger is far more useful and meaningful. At least you can converse and send links. Do I even really care how an old high school acquaintance is doing? People spend too much time in the past, instead of concentrating on the present and future. And whatâ€(TM)s sad is I'd say for the majority of my peers (say age 19-24) their hours logged onto facebook sum up to the most time they have ever spent on the internet. WHICH IS A SHAME! The internet is the only place where information is free. I feel I can learn anything from the internet, as long as I apply myself towards my goals long enough. Those who use the internet for adding Lolcat bumper stickers and playing Which Harry Potter House Are You are stick in the rut of meaningless online communication.
Taking a break from social networking has been a true blessing. By concentrating my social interactions with those I make physical daily contact with augments my character as well as my social skills And when I return in 2 months and join the millions of facebookers, at least I can reflect back on my time when my life wasn't controlled by tags and posts.
Slashdot Mirror
The sensational band the B-52's already discovered that rocks were evolving back in '78. Just look what they said...
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster
Along the lines of evolution and rock, man didn't evolve from The Monkeys, he evolved from The Beatles!!!
This movie is to diode for

Ironic, isn't it, that U.K. was the spearhead of freedom of speech and democracy in the Middle Ages and now is the most advanced in repressing it?
Hopefully a meatwad wouldn't clog the system
So if you put a laser cannon on a killer whale, what would it become?

Wow. I guess I might end up getting a job after all, if work is just a game. Maybe I'll move out of the basement of my parents house too...

Dear God, that means it'll have the same preventative powers on those children as the anti-drug-sex-alcohol-tobacco propaganda!!

Something more provocative than water that needs to be explained to the president. Hmm... the discovery of ice?
You know who was behind this whole ordeal from the beginning? Hillary Clinton. I'm so glad she can't be president now.
It always seems the highest quality video you get from these "HD" channels is the commercials. Viva America
