i think smoke signals are much harder to hack really, they can also stand an emp shockwave (dont gimme a scientific rant about something moving air and extinguishing fire here pls) and can be improvised macgyverstyle from whatever is at hand
i was going to say what's so wrong but instead i'll say what's so weird about being homophobic. If the norm is the middle of the curve i think homophobia is pretty normal, right there with the natural instinct to fear or shy that what is different, embedded in the genes, just a tool for survival that controls us still today. I myself can't say that i think homo's will go to hell or something like that or that 'the' lord thinks they're an abomination but i must admit that i do feel uncomfortable around gay men, i behave differently, i don't really know how to act , because they are 'different', i detect them as different and i have no standard pose embedded to handle that specific situation. Less so around gay women, but i still behave different (tho that's probably more caused by curiosity) which doesn't seem to be a problem since gay women are generally considered sexy whereas gay men are mostly perceived as some kind of threat.
Now this does not affect my every day life and decision making, but i can't say what it would mean in an environment where i had to make split second decisions to survive with a gay man literally 'watching my back' (haha,funny)
I do have a major problem with gay people flaunting their sexuality in the face of everyone though, it's not as i'm telling everyone how hetero i am. I think, if you want to be treated 'normally', then you should act accordingly. (to the norm that is, whatever that is)
yes, i think i can see their reasoning if ('the') god would have wanted science , he would have given us wings from the start ? who really needs fundamentalist terrorists anymore these days ?
to start gaming, don't get caught in an mmo though, also, if you're into sci-fi / fantasy, there's lots of great aniime outthere, death note, monster, blood+ , hakuoki, not your standard wobbling tit's 'n panties
no but he did have sex with two different women without impregnating them, even if he was so pious as not to use a condom, which is probably a crime against 'the' lord ?
we should have more zones like this :
"As a fascinating aside, this has also made it one of the world's best-kept nature preserves - the complete absence of human interference leaving a more or less pristine habitat for all kinds of wildlife, endangered and otherwise."
a cop who molested (read raped as in not just fucked without a condom) two young girls , just got six years here, maybe you should send your criminals overhere they get much better conditions
charges making sense in the u.k., i'm glad it's not me on the stand , maybe he just got scared with all the threats? It would be pretty stupid if something happened to him while under supervision of uk policeforces. I don't think a lot will change except that with wikileaks crippled there will be no source deemed as 'reliable' and trustworthy for leaked info
mh yes, i think the metaphorical sense of 'work', the false sense of control and most of all the false sense of community is the decisive factor in the success of these so-called games. it is a known psychological phenomenon that people have a need to be part of a group / something bigger, it makes it easy for the brain to believe you are 'doing the right thing' since you can just behave according to the norm the group prescribes instead of working out the morals yourself for every decision you make.
Also, how do you define a game. In the old days of c64, the 'Q' stated that games had to be 'finishable'. None of these social networking games are, they don't even hold a challenge, there is no difficulty level. You click a set amount of tiles and wait, then click the same tiles again.
Also, if you watch conversations and posts by people playing, say farmville for example, you will notice they actually complain and sigh about all the 'work' it takes to get it done (but it's never done)
It's sound marketing psychology tricking people into a false sense of need and comfort. Very sound from the salesman point of view but i consider all salesmen to be evil from birth myself really
let's just block all access to all non government approved ip's. It would be like having a nice hot firewall in a new cold war from the other side without the need for a real iron curtain. party time indeed
or maybe the need for speed limits is a sign that some peoples freedoms still need to be controlled, afaic i say be gone with it, let everyone drive at their own preferred speed and let Darwin sort them out
ssshh, you're spoiling all the fun, if the allknowing eye of pentagod thinks disabling usb slots will solve their problems, let them think so, after all they are the all knowing eye of pentagod that protects us from the evils of mordor and they know best what's good for them and us
don't worry, the media here in the Shire is the same. If you watch only national tv you get convinced after a while that hobbits are the only people worth reporting on as they are clearly at the center of the universe. I suppose the same goes for the free men of the west, even if their country is a bit bigger. That's why i propose we all turn to this great new invention called : the internet where we refuse to use any site that lets you pay for news since their intent is clearly not informing you but making money. It's a revolution !
batman asking for a warrant to arrest the joker, sounds like the next movie will even surpass the last one in boring then. How about the joker sueing batman for racism. Your honour, that bat doesn't like me cos i'm white !??!?
before, wikileaks was known by a few information junkies and conspiraty theorists, now everybody knows it. There is no power without corruption, if you think the us never had anyone assassinated i would dare call you naive. No place is without flaws, i'm happy for gi joe keeping the afghans busy but i'm sad to see european leaders poking their noses into stuff that might get me blown up. I suppose brussels makes a nice decoy even if europe has no real power or army force at all
so then, shall we go back to buying books who are outdated by the time they're printed then, and forget about this whole internet thing ? (i think i hear an amazon sales representative cry yeah!)

is this a bit like when they shot escobar and now they have no clue where all the coke comes from?
it might, it may and it could, now there's something new, someone wake me up when it actually does

fully functioning time machine? most monkeys cant even handle a 9mm pistol without getting someone killed, i'd say your not ready

the red line on the map gets more and more clear everyday, this is getting very interesting
no, ofcourse not, filesharers ard god-dam communists and they need to be shot (i think that's more like what's behind it)

apparently marketing has only one order of magnitude of cool in all communications
why don't you pay that buck then dude, this war is a pointless waste on resources but everyone with half a brain knows that by now
