It's not all that silly. Every observer causes a quantum waveform collapse into what is the 'expected observable result'. Multiple observers cause multiple quantum waveform collapses which cause the 'expected observable result' to be the average of the overlap of expectations of the observations from all observers past, present, and future. If the average of expected states of all the observers dictate that the universe will end a certain way, then it will end in that certain way. If not, then it won't end that certain way.
Games have levels because humans like a measurment. So, we measure how far we have completed a game by the level that we are either playing, or have reached. It's like money. We measure how well we are doing in 'worth' by how much money/assets we have/make. Everything has it's measurement, and levels is just what most humans can understand in game terms. Might as well ask "Why do we use money?" when there's no real use for it beyond it being a measurement. Just propose to someone a utopia where there is no money, they'll look shocked, and most likely the first question/statement they'll have would be something like "How would you know if you were sucessfull or not?"
There's no way to know. Sheesh, I'm ex-military, and sometimes we did things to just see if it could be done. Exchanges between persons and units of military powers aren't always with guns and explosives. Some of it can be fairly humorous, and some of it is just a tip of a hat to someone else that's in the same 'job' (even if the powers that be are in disagreement).
A) They probably just happened to be in the same area. B) Sub commander is thinking "Hrm... This is the perfect test" C) Gets close enough in to call it a 'win', and decides "what the hell, let's give em a wave"
I'm more upset that the submarine commander didn't get out a bullhorn and ask for some Grey Poupon than that the submarine got so close without being detected (since that's their job, and I dislike incompetance).
It got brighter because it's firing retro rockets that'll put it on a collision course with Earth in 2012./it would be soooo screwed up if I were right.
"The bible says "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;" Ephesians 5:18"
That's why you should always drink distilled spirits, it's the biblically correct thing to drink, and enough of it to get your fill. Even back in the bible days, they knew that wine drinking was for the effeminate.
Considering the majority of OSS code, if I were to release any of my code, I'd have to make it more amateurish.
Don't worry about it. There are those that will like it, those that won't, but they'll all cream their star wars underoos because it's free (as in beer).
It's not a valid reason. Although the name is 'trendy' in business naming terms in that it signifies 'something', but really means nothing. Look at all silly-assed nonsensical names out there that companies are using. There's at least one company that I've heard of that does nothing more than to think up silly nonsensical names for other companies.
I can see it with that kind of transit time. I do on-site tech work, and finally justified putting a Sirus radio in my car. But, then again, I'm a tightwad.
I'm in the wrong business. Unfortunately for me I've been infused with something commonly called 'ethics', and just couldn't pull that off with a straight face.
I have no doubt that 40 years from now they will still be waiting on their flying cars. Slashdot, in and of itself, will just show how primitive technology is today, and ten years ago. They'll probably think we had too much time on our hands.

There ya go.
It's only a matter of time till you'll have to dunk both deviced into a cup of tea.
That's a lot of virgins. It makes you wonder if WOW has more virgins than Slashdot, but I'm sure there's some overlap.

I didn't even know that 7 was out.
Hard-ons are more important than saving lives. Or, so the memo says.
You can always sue him for legal fees, and damages.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Looks like a game to get into, but it might be too late.
Well, I can't think of anything particularly witty other than 'FUCK THEM'.
If they do get the patent, will the Mafia sue IBM for infringement? Or, will IBM go after the Mafia?
Well, if they adopt and code for the Phantom, the only choice for a first release would be Duke Nukem: Forever.
That's probably because they believe that usenet.com IS the usenet. Just like AOL is the internet!
That's all ok because the Jews did it. Says so right there in the bible.

Rail travel would be great! Yeah, then we could wait 72 hours to get on a fucking train.
It's not about transportation, or even the mode of transportation, it's all about control of the populations means of travel.

Well, in all fairness, GNU-Linux did put the 'free' in freeloader.

As others said, beep codes, and sometimes diagnostic lights. Perhaps the system runs slow with more than enough ram, or files go missing/corrupted.

You actually spend that much time in a car?
