Dateline: The Future You are stitting in your cell, recovering from that last brutal beating, contemplating the irony that your blind support of the Bush regime helped keep in power the very fascists that now imprison you and your family.
Dear Mr President, hear my plea: start injecting a strong sense of right and wrong into your government. I don't want anything less than the strongest sense of ethics and a massive dose of moral fiber.
Take into account the fact that kids are living here, no matter that they aren't making campaign contributions.
Lots of people watched TV this weekend, so scratch TV network news. They also read the comics and leafed thru the advertising in the Sunday paper, so forget that. Plenty of sales of non-fiction books this week, so mark books off the list of useful information. Can't count on the Internet to get informed, after all, it's not news, it's Fark!
Yeah, you've convinced me that F.911 isn't worth seeing and I'd better stay away, and tell that to everyone I know.
Besides, he's kind of fat and sloppy and I heard that he makes money from his films and has a house and stuff in NY. The movie be nothing but lies, propaganda and disingenuous self-promotion.
Guns are good. The more, and the bigger, the better.
Corporate dominance of the working class is good, more is better. Besides, one day, I'll be rich too, so screw 'em!
Invasion of other nations (the biggest guns under corporate dominance) is the ultimate expression of what America is all about.
How dare anyone attempt to question any of this, let alone try to allow access to another's opinion? Moore must be lying anyway, because he's kind of fat and sloppy.
Me? I'm embracing my inner reptile.
I believe everything the neocon media feeds me without question. It's so much easier that way. Go team Bush! Go USA!
But...it's -supposed- to be boring and banal. Finding a random object in boring nothingness is exactly the point.
My goal was to have the player burn as little brain power as possible: No puzzles, no path memory, small, nearly imperceptable differences in a self-similar world. That's also why the controls work like they do, you can only play by the smallest movements, to the point of being catatonic and mentally shifted into neutral. 1 part mescaline, 3 parts quaalude.
It's done it's thing on you, whether you realize it or not. It acts as a type-A personality filter. That's why you have a strong reaction against something you say is essentially nothing. It can't make you tranquil, but you have to force yourself to be tranquil to make it work.
I enjoy a deep FPS as much as the next guy, and I've never found tetris to be especially exciting, despite it's popularity. We fill a niche, for a very elite clientele. And at ten bucks a pop, what's the problem? Some get it, the rest miss out. No big deal.
Has anyone played this? At $150 a seat it's expensive. I can't tell from the page what it's play style actually is. Kind of like Myst with biofeedback control?
So you're saying that OS X is too unlike Windows that it's irrelevant to use, even to launch a game or two? Or that in 8 years when they hit the job market that they'll be tainted by that Mac exposure in grade school? Or that in 2011 we'll all be running Windows 2012 on HyperPentium VII's so they need to start training now? Lameness abounds.
We've got just the game you're looking for: tranquility.
It's totally abstract, non-violent and highly mathematical. We have several schools that play tranquility as a group activity. Download the game and give it a try, then drop us a note on our site support form and we'll set you up with free accounts.
What's cool about this is that any involvement with Microsoft, no matter how compelling it may seem in the beginning, is the kiss of death for the other company that gets involved in a "deal" with Microsoft. They can't help it. Win-Lose is the only outcome that's acceptable to M$.
How this works out to Linux users is unknown, but SCO's fate is sealed: Ignominy, disgrace, failure, collapse.
I was working at Truevision in 1986 and I remember Sony bringing in a new Mavicam digital camera for us to play with. It stored pictures on a little baby floppy. They were, as I remember, compressed RLE images that were 640x480 or maybe 512x486.
JOE: (to himself as he walks out of prison) I'm out at last Boy, the world sure looks different Wow... there's hardly anything fun to do Since they made music illegal But I'm hooked I got the habit I got to have it I need to play But theres no musicians anymore They're all gone Wait! I've got it! I'll be sullen and withdrawn I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm Of my own secret thoughts I'll walk through the parking lot In a semi-catatonic state And dream of guitar notes To go with the loading-zone announcements.
JOE wanders through the world which by then has been totally epoxied over, carefully organized, with everyone reporting daily to his or her appointed place in a line somewhere in front of a window somewhere in a building somewhere in order to collect his or her welfare check, which, when cashed, made it possible for the young ones to continue the payments for the obsolete and irreparable appliances their parents had purchased on the installment plan years ago, providing as security the future incomes of their children. The rest of these checks were used by the young recipients to buy fun things of their own on credit, most of which broke down or failed within moments of purchase and seemed to be stacking up everywhere.
Yeah, tell me that when we bump into each other in the concentration camp city 10 years from now. Then again, with that mindset, you'll probably be one of the guards.

As a Republican nerd, I think we should kill everyone that disagrees with us.
But not before we make them wear panties on their heads. That's so cool.
Burn, karma, burn!

I know M$ is putting a lot of money in Apple.
and how do you "know" that?
I think you can patent something after if you make it public,
but you have to file your application within one year.
Can somebody confirm that?
... just creates a network of cross-linked text files..
I played a game using cross-linked files on Windows once.
It wasn't very fun.
Microsoft seems to understand that small developers are an important part of their base. I don't think Apple is doing enough...
Funny, I can't seem to find the free developer tools in my XP distribution..

Joe's Garage - Act III
SCENE FIFTEEN
HE USED TO CUT THE GRASS
JOE: (to himself as he walks out of prison)
I'm out at last
Boy, the world sure looks different
Wow... there's hardly anything fun to do
Since they made music illegal
But I'm hooked I got the habit
I got to have it
I need to play
But theres no musicians anymore
They're all gone
Wait!
I've got it!
I'll be sullen and withdrawn
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I'll walk through the parking lot
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
To go with the loading-zone announcements.
JOE wanders through the world which by then has been totally epoxied over,
carefully organized, with everyone reporting daily to his or her appointed place in
a line somewhere in front of a window somewhere in a building somewhere in order
to collect his or her welfare check, which, when cashed, made it possible for the young
ones to continue the payments for the obsolete and irreparable appliances their
parents had purchased on the installment plan years ago, providing as security
the future incomes of their children. The rest of these checks were used by the young
recipients to buy fun things of their own on credit, most of which broke down or failed
within moments of purchase and seemed to be stacking up everywhere.
They are everywhere where I live (Indy), most other places too, I suspect.
I'm sure it will have an "I'm a cop car" flag in the data.
Eventually after six months, and Windows slows down or goes belly up,
everyone runs Windows, reloaded. (Probably more than once).
Actually, it was Butt Head Astronomer (BHA).
Yeah, tell me that when we bump into each other in the concentration camp city 10 years from now.
Then again, with that mindset, you'll probably be one of the guards.
Some people never can be satisfied 'less they push somebody else around.
