Don't get me wrong, I got hooked on Linux when my brother gave me Knoppix a while back. However, I'm just not nerdy or great at computers to warrant using Linux.
Until PETA become PETSCO (People for the Ethical Treatment of Sentient Creatures and Objects). Think they were bad when they went to war with Pokemon and Mario? It'll be a humorous variety show when they start posting statements like "Robots have feelings too!" and "Viruses must live!"
I would be very surprised if he has more than a single million. His program was trash and it took up sheet-tons of CPU. It couldn't even protect from the common cold.
I guess I just prefer to have a physical entity in my hand than a metaphysical entity stored on a machine. Call me old, call me technologically stupid, but I think that having an actual disk is better because electronic stuff can be taken away any time i.e. the Kindle that deleted a student's paper.
True, but a lot of people I know who pirate are Americans who have money, but because we live in the digital age, think everything should be free. If everything were free, would that not cause Hoarding problems? I don't know, but I do believe that it could happen if everything were free.
Fuck the pirate bay. I love how you guys just have him bookmarked. I don't accept technology as readily as the rest of you because it turns your body to mush. How many albinos out there? When was the last time you saw the sun?
While many people have sick mindsets and are looking towards the future with open arms (and deep pockets it seems. I mean you just bought a $400 iPad and you just dished out another $500 just for an iPad with extra features? Really?), I have a valuable suggestion that I would enjoy: variety.
No, I'm not talking about sci-fi and action, I mean bring in movies from other countries. I know a great many otakus who would be willing to shell out money just to watch Naruto in Japanese or the Nutcracker in original German. I myself am wishing to watch Russian films, after watching Ballad of a Soldier. Relevance can't be simply construed to a time frame or even a style such as Claymation or Live-Action. Imagine your next Valentine's Day with you special someone with a French or Italian film instead of some American romance movie and a bucket of popcorn?
I have a question, and if I get marked for troll I'm going to be seriously pissed because my aunt is perpetuating this myth. I do not drink whatsoever. The last thing I drank was a Sam Adam's Winter Lager, a taste of which I had at a Food Expo, but was so disgusted that I vowed to never touch alcohol again.
Anyway, she says that I'm still an alcoholic even though I don't drink because most my family is a bunch of alcoholics. Is this logical or do I need to smack her upside the head?
And now Iran, Inda, and China are joining the League of Extraordinary Nuke Holders. Great how well our "Let's get rid of nukes" strategy is working out. Tell me, will we die quick or slow when Romney takes stage and attacks Iran?
I have a stupid question: Can't you just strip them down? If they got family jewels, they;re a guy. If not they're a girl. I don't really see how it matters where Gays and Lesbians should be placed. Unless they actually HAVE the part, they should remain in their respective genders. I'm not sexist, but I think that would make everything simpler. Why bring science into this?
Guess I'm on America's Most wanted at this point. I check my FB about once every couple of months, so I must be suspicious. The reason I don't go on? Nobody wants to chat. They get pissed when you try to talk to them because they're at work. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ON FB WHEN YOU SHOULD BE WORKING!?!?
Won't there be a limit to how high you can jump from? Eventually, you'll leave the atmosphere and, falling through it, the heat from friction will completely disintigrate you before you even think about getting near airplane levels.
Thus, we become obsolete once robots replace all labor jobs. The US will plan on modernizing all countries, thus eliminating poverty as we know it since the only people able to live would be the upper half a percent.
WOW! Feminist talk. Okay, I'm playing hardball now.
It's the year 2012, where are the hoverbikes, the homes of tomorrow, and the flying cars? What happened to computers that stored terabytes upon terabytes of memory? How come we are still alone? I'm tired of pussy-footing about the bush with all this crap. I don't want to live a mediocre life and my children's children to have to live in this same type of world we live in now: pain and ignorance.
So far, we're too busy figuring out how to give better erections to guys instead of curing cancer. We're more worried about the next president than our current economic turmoil that could be ended in just a few simple steps. We prefer to go to war with lesser countries and acquiring their oil instead of making Hydrogen-powered vehicles more accessible.
As for your massive problems, they are only massive because people are too fucking stupid to realize the bigger picture. We are being fucked daily. All scientific research is being doled out slower than space debris falling into a black hole by the event horizon. If you can't tell that we already have a cure for cancer (Remember Armstrong and his supposed "Prostate cancer cure"?) and are still thinking that the only way we'te going to get anywhere is by having robots do it first before we ever set foot on another planet, then you really need to learn some priorities.
Once we get people on Mars, we can begin to figure out how to best terraform it. Robots can only give so much. Humans ADAPT. This is a highly remarkable skill that puts us ahead of the rest of the animals. A robot doesn't feel cold and turns up the heat. It can't feel radiation and thus feel sick. It cant grab dirt and rub it between its fingers.
We need to wake the fuck up, get shit done, and stop saying that progress is around the corner. How about taking that corner instead of waiting that corner to come to you, only to find out that it is just a dead end or an empty alley? Why not bring avenues of gold instead of buckets of hope that's been turned to shit?

Oh great, I gave them ideas.
I feel like this is becoming some kind of intervention.
Eheheheh...Um, try a wee bit older. Like Fallout 2 and Neverwinter Nights.
I like Linux, but have to use Windows being a gamer and what not.
Cause idiots think that if you pay for something it's much better than the free version.

Aren't you forgetting the towel?
PM me this place. I'm bored to freaking tears!

Parents need to learn to stop tossing their kids to school like it's a jail.
Teachers need to teach and stop striking every year.
Longer school day =/= Better education
Quality teaching == Invaluable learning
Gee, where could the problem lie?
I've tried explaining this to her, but I think she's watched too much Dr. Phil to listen to reason.

Took them slightly over a decade to finally come up with this story. Gee, I thought they would have made this assumption when I was a kid.
We colonize Mars, that 10B population will be nothing more than a speed bump. Otherwise, we can just turn to Soylent Green.
Ever have the one or two commercials that either kept playing over and over or lasted the entire two and a half minute "potty break?"
