At first i thought Dick was one of the many Gibson copycats (hi Stephenson!), then i looked at the publishing date of the Dick book - it had been written some 20 years before Gibson's - and realised how much the genre owes Dick's genius.
Yeah, sorry about that. It just seemed like the perfect response, and I really did just watch Datalore like ten minutes earlier. I actually thought your comments were perfectly respectable.
Now we have 140 million rows. How the fuck do you expect anything to sift through that. Not only is it (currently) technologically infeasible, it's just assinane and mundane for people to do so.
This argument is invalid. You read Slashdot, you should know the drill: "640K is enough", "Maybe 5 computers total", "Wow, Doom has really realistic graphics", etc.
Quicktime and PNG is the worst. Not only does Netscape already do it, but if you view a naked PNG, Quicktime will scale it to fit in the window. Hey, Apple! Sometimes I want scrollbars!

Sure, Bruce, my pinky gets lazy on a C7 and "ls" turns into "rm -Rf".
You evil terroist hackers. I can't wait until W. outlaws you fuckers.
Sure, but nobody will believe you. "I meant to do that" is the oldest trick in the book.
OOooo! a shiny object.

Right, I get it, but man, the movies are unwatchable without the comments.

Look it up.
Get back at them. Get a gun and start sniping anybody in brown shorts.

Then he wouldn't have gotten karma for your funny. Duh.
And then one day the escrow server starts emailing bits of bug reports to everybody its address book.
So what's the T/F value for "Do you love your father?" Intelligence is more than just reciting meteorological facts.
Hey, you should try to understand a comment before being a pedantic ass about it.

Yes, but what about urine acidity and volume?
What, so people can hear him pissing and come running to stop him?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only difference is the packaging.

How many movies are based upon the plot mechanism of a murderer having to kill more and more people to keep his secret?
One, maybe two.

And has John de Lancie officially changed his middle name to "Q"?
Read it on Tuesday evening. Or pick up a hard copy.
Midichlorians, thetans; same difference.

They're not always up to date, however.
So, like, these maps are old enough to be deprecated by plate tectonics?
No, you don't get it. It was a joke.
