Get the work done so no one has to do it? How many jobs do you know of that done right never have to be done again? Their are all a SHIT-TON of jobs so dynamic that automation is utterly impossible. And in the chance you do manage to make it so that your job gets completed everyday with 0 input from you, then what? More likely than not, you'd watch tv all day at home, reveling in your new found higher-consciousness uptopian freedom. It goes back to immortalility arguement: The same people that whine about being bored on a Sunday afternoon would love to be immortal. Chances are, your job is the most interesting thing that will happen to you in a given day.
Dude, quit with the "I'm never gonna do the 9 to 5!" bullshit. Everything thinks like you do in high school. Then the reality of the world cuts them at the kneecaps. It's really despressing for awhile but eventually you get to the point where coming home to beautiful, healthy kids in a house you can afford driving a car you own and being complete in love with your wife after years and you realize that you're a pretty fucking lucky guy. I'm sure you think you're going to race jet-ski's or be a fucking trapeeze artists or something glamorous but altogether stupid and pointless, and I hope you the best, but get with the program, sonny. Your live is as happy as you want it to be. My parents are damn near 65 years old, work out everyday, go to some different country annually on vacation, just got back from Australia, actually, so quit with the fucking mindset that all older people are dying in some bed somewhere pissing into a bag. I guarantee you I can find you a grip of seniors that would circles around your ass.
Sorry for the rant, but I really hate that "1984" mindset so many ingnorant-of-the-world fucks have. It's easy to have radical ideals in high school when mommy is buying your lunch everyday, but in the world, they don't mean shit.
It's morally ambiguous. Their better off hooked into that machine that scavenging for scraps at some fucked up(more-so) version of Barter Town. What's better: A false heaven or a very believable hell?
I seem to be pretty clear of them, but whenever I visit my parents place, even if it's just for dinner or something real short, they get a lot of silence-calls. Not hang-ups, the line doesn't go dead, just silence. My folks are pretty boring people and it's just them, so I'm not inclined to believe someone is fucking with them. Is this some type of auto-dialer fucking up somewhere?
I can't believe people would use something like an auto-dialer. Go to the big house; bread and water, icy-showers, guards whupping your ass round the clock, and the only way? Suicide.
I don't think of classics in a time line, it's based on quality. The Matrix is a classic science fiction movie, but it's only a few years old. I've seen a great number of rather old anime's and I still think GitS is probably the best sci-fi oriented anime I've ever seen.
Then you're watching the wrong anime. Anything that has ever aired on TV pretty much sucks. Go with the classics: Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and now my new fav Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Granted, tentacle porn and big eyed morons is some stupid shit, but if it's an honestly good story, what do you care that it was drawn rather than filmed? If the Shawshank Redemption was been animated would it be any less good?
Newb, shut your pie whole. I have excellent karma because I post interestng, funny-assed shit. Bitter little fucks like you just wanna be like me. Just because you don't like something you think it's a troll. My god that's some egotistical, self-centered shit. What's even more funny, is that I'm able to get +5's on replies I make advocating that software and music piracy(for example) are things that aren't protected under any right or law real or imagined. I post things I believe in and fuck karma. Most people recognize this and moderate me up for my honesty. And next time you want to reply to me, log the fuck in.
*Sorry about the brutish reply, it's Friday, I'm tired, and I can't leave work for 2 hours.
I also caught a chuckle out of the Robocop reference. For SciFi flicks with human-computer interfaces, their was recently this flick called the Matrix, maybe you heard of it:)
Exactly! If he has no desire to be 0-day, then what should be care!? I mean, I know for myself at least that the more technology you use to commit a crime, the more justified you are.

Whenever I see Thunderdome, I always feel a great sense of humility,human-ness, and even pride at the end during the girls speech. Like if something catasrophic were to happen our history would be our most prized possesion. I'm aware it's just a movie but it's a pretty awesome fuckign feeling knowing that what I do now, and what any of us do, could very well be the stuff of legend to a group of people that won't exist for hundreds of years.
You're a moron..for the love of God man shut the fuck up. You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. I'm sure you're telling yourself you just said something deep and profound but you'd be wrong. Easily the most mind-numbingly stupid reply I've seen, EVER, on/. I'm actually almost to the point of tears just having read your reply.
I believe great strides should be made to objectify the page a little more. If not, maybe the title should be changed to "Opinions of CmdrTaco, Stuff that Matters to him."

Heh, that's funny. A government clerk, unlike some of you, wouldn't try to fuck with identity or steal his money. Evil indeed.

Nice MS bash. Your karma pimp wants his money.
Then why does Mc'D's keep canning your ass?
I've got a board with a nail in it, I'm not scared.
I agree.

Should you have your llnl email addy up there? Guess I could use my nv.doe.gov.
I was never comfortable using the word petabyte. Just imagine some day if you have a 1,000 terrabyte file. Will it be a petafile?
Don't you mean HUD(Heads up display)?

Yeah, the old Captain Crunch whistle toys would blow a perfect 2600 tone.
