  1. Re:PLEASE NOOO!!! on Lucas Returning to Digital Animation · · Score: 1
    Seeing Lucas' attitude towards the integrity of his own works, (jeeze, another South Park flashback!) I think it only fitting that his legacy be overrun by a biblical proliferation of the crudest, most inane universe of slash fiction the internet has ever seen.

    And furries. Using SW skins in The SIMs. To do very nasty things to each other.

    "magic 8-ball says "outlook is good"

    Duuuuude! You must have one of those cheap Mexican ripoffs, because when I broke open my official Magic 8-ball to dring the purple juice, the little DND die-looking thingie clearly had "Outlook not good" embossed on one of the faces.

    Now remember, the Magic 8-ball was invented before Microsoft was even formed as company, so HOW DID THEY KNOW?!!!

    Maybe in a Star Trek universe, we go through an inital dark period where the corps control things. But knowing human nature, eventually we'd have the equivalent of a FSF/OSS creating patterns to be released in the public domain. Then you'd have what's happening today in the software world ^ 100.

    Eventually, energy and raw materials would be 'limited' (in a sense of plentitude not even concievable today) resources.

  20. Re:what you are fearing... on Brain Privacy · · Score: 1

    Good point, much in line with my take on the matter. I always hoped that the pending panopticon, often pushed for by "conservative" types, would rub their noses in the fact that a lot of people think quite differently than they expect.
    Although I'm not sure that what we call civilzation is entirely built upon lies and bullshit used to lubricate personal relations. Writing and agriculture for examples.

  21. The law of unintended consequences on Brain Privacy · · Score: 1
    I guess that if society is willing to accept genetic/psych/drug screening, we're going to also have to accept universal health care, mental health care and drug rehabilitation.

    Of course, at the moment, society seems dumb enough that they don't see why things like the patriot act are a bad thing. They'll learn. Usually the hard way.

    And I don't like those loud, annoying ads on radio & TV, either. Particularly those damn car commercials on the radio.

    Is it really asking too much to insist that we not be bombarded with advertising everywhere we look, everywhere we listen? I guess that makes me a curmudgeon.

    One sure way to get rid of this is to get rid of the idiots -- both those who run such ads and those who are susceptible to them. But then, I'd have to get a real job.
