Could someone explain to me how Farmville is social gaming at all? Tradewars and Geopolitics were real social games from the BBS days. Farmville is just a virus which tries to infect all your friends with its pixel crap.
If we can shoot the spammers, can we then go after the dolts on tv selling snake oil as well?
I'd go after the guys who sell:
Get Rich in Real-Estate books
Medical Crap that people don't want you to know books
Spray this crap in your dog dish to make them feel better

and any kind of exercise equipment.
Can't we keep the same unit when comparing something? e.g. "... that can be written in just 100 nanoseconds. Existing flash memory takes 100,000 nanoseconds"
If we legalize marijuana, that means we are going to tax it and collect taxes on it. Do you think the price of marijuana in the store will be more or less than the price you can pay on the street? So, if you buy it from your friend, but you didn't pay tax on it to the government, is that a legal transaction? Will the government classify your weed as illegal and seize it? (Think of moonshine...)
Also, what makes you think the government is competent enough to pass a law that won't benefit big business somehow and screw something else over?
I had to take a personality test several years ago and the HR manager showed me my results. After she read the results, I told her that they were interesting, but as valid as my horoscope. Its like a psychic - they'll say a lot of things, some things might even be true, but these things are true for everyone to some extent.
My interviewing policy is to hire people who I want to work with, their skills are secondary.
Great.
Lets say for arguments sake that global warming is a reality. What the heck are we supposed to do about it? Even if no more green house gas goes into the atmosphere starting Jan 1, 2009, the climate will still change. AFAIK there is no solution proposed to reverse the trend of GW.
And if the US/Western nations decides to crack down on green house gases, India and China aren't going to - they aren't about to stop their industrial revolutions.
That sounds fair enough as long as I am free to fire employees who are using drugs too. Emps using drugs (or alcohol) while on the job hurts my business.
I wish that it accounted for SOME momentum. You push hard to go up the hill, and then you can't use any of the momentum going down for the next hill.
I do like that you can see the course as you ride up and down the hills instead of little red bars on the other stationary bikes.

If your working for me, I'd like the ability to fire you on the spot if you come to work high (or drunk). Its a liability for my business.

I'm going to thank the unions for gutting the manufacturing.

Wireless or not doesn't matter.
Small footprint for usage.
Easy to clean by popping out trackball.
The answer 42 now makes perfect sense.

What you're not getting is that eating silkworms and drinking recycled pee isn't going to inspire anyone to go into space.

I think we'd all be better off if we'd ...
Nuke the hippies!!
Its hard to find the right situation to say that.
I suspect that there are people from all over the world involved in this project, including the US.
Why would you visit a website you "fucking hate"?
That sounds like the definition of a moron.

We're as doomed as doomed can be.

Are there any OS MUDs I can install on a Linux box?
