More likely imaging the teens' surprise and horror when their parents spill the beans that RFID+GPS tracking units have been surgically implanted on them by the parents. MUAHWAHAWHAWHAHWHAWH!!!! I can haz your breadcrumb trail.
Fake hearts that pump continuously, GPS tracking / RFID, indoor thru wall tracking, nanites in the body, controlling computers directly with your brain, van eck phreaking, life-like cgi and hologram, quantum computing, hmmm... sounds like some of those older "sci-fi" books are going to have to get re-categorized as history books pretty soon.
Sounds like he got some good advice from Dr Denis Leary. "Doctor, I dont feel so good", "Shut the fuck up! NEXT!" I think that phrase could solve a lot of problems in our world.
Why should any one religion be treated in such a way? They are all made up and devoid of absolute truth so how could one have more or less "authority" than another on principle? Faith is not truth nor is it a means to discover the truth. So if you dump on one religion you should dump on all of them.
Faith is a device of self-delusion, a sleight of hand done with words and emotions founded on any irrational notion that can be dreamed up. Faith is the attempt to coerce truth to surrender to whim. In simple terms, it is trying to breathe life into a lie by trying to outshine reality with the beauty of wishes. Faith is the refuge of fools, the ignorant, and the deluded, not of thinking, rational men. TG
The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason. The first law of reason is this: what exists exists, what is is and from this irreducible bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. It is the foundation from which life is embraced. Thinking is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts nor are they a means to discover them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality; it is our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss that we refuse to see. Faith and feelings are the darkness to reasons light. In rejecting reason, refusing to think, one embraces death.
"In space, no one can eat ice cream"? (One of the not best b grade movies)
And what the hell? Vacuum tubes over transistors? Seriously? Are they super vacuum-ized because they are used in the vacuum of space? Makes me think of one of those medical shows where a surgeon is like "we need more suction". Vacuums FTW!
I an American living in the US and I totally LOL'd at this...good one. I wonder this as well and I think it has to do with our primary motivator "greed". Greed makes us want to have the biggest and the best. America is the largest super power in the world. America is the toughest. You must live the American dream of owning a house, a massively large car, and laugh at everyone else who does not have these things. Dont worry if you cant afford these things because you are a true and real citizen of the greatest country on earth and fuck everyone who doesnt like it or gets in our way, such as those oil guzzlers in the middle east. You fuck with our oil and we will fuck you up!
While I am totally for our freedoms in our country to consume the things we want, I am totally annoyed with the heavy pressure to "buy big, buy frequent, buy it all" that we get from our companies peddling their semi-toxic wares onto us because they are living their American dream. Buy our refreshing sodas and fast food garbage and dont worry about the obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc because you can turn to another American marvel, the pharmacy. We can fix all of your ills. Too fat? take some pills. Trouble in bed? take some pills. Sleep problems? take some pills. Stupid and gullible? Well, we like you just the way you are, but here are some placebos you can take.
If a new popular book gets published (say a surprise 8th Harry Potter or something), and I print my own version and just give away copies on the street, that's still infringement, even if I don't personally profit (actually, a loss with the printing costs).
It doesn't matter if I've personally profited, the publishing company (and the author and other associated people) have lost money on my infringement.
Ummm... how does "someone on the street receiving your freely given copied print of said work" equate to "copyright holder and/or publisher losing money" exactly? Lots of people will take/accept something freely given to them that they would not otherwise have paid a single penny for and therefore equates to zero financial loss (except on your part as you indicated). This fundamental concept is what really irks me about all of the exaggerated claims of financial loss across the board when it comes to any sort of digital copying.
Oh noes!! CD sales are down due to song swapping online! We've lost 10 zillion dollars!! How am I supposed to feed my children?!?! Oh yeah, also the artists are out about $0.000000001 for every lost CD sale too so how are they supposed to produce more CDs if they never get any money?
Oh, so you are now a source of spam and back scatter since every single email address that sends a message to you (forged or otherwise) you reply to it as it were a legitimate message. Thanks for contributing to the problem and making it more likely I will not ever contact you via email. One of the reasons e-mail became so heavily used and therefore depended upon is the ease of communication. If you require a manual or auto (like yourse) moderated permission to communicate I guess I will just have to go to your competitor with whom I more easily communicate with.
Or a 6ghz DECT phone. Ahh the joys of a fresh spectrum. My phone works well everywhere in and around my house. Of course I can also blue-tooth my blackberry phone to my house phone and set up a different ringer for calls to my cell. All in all I enjoy my new home phone.

Whoever coined the phrase "buyer beware" was probably bleeding from the ass. - The late and great GC.
I totally laughed out loud at your reply, swanzilla. Nothing like smashing a false dichotomy to spruce up the day.
I'm sure it feels very real to you.
On August 29th, 1997, it's gonna feel pretty fucking real to you too. Anybody not wearing 2 million sunblock is gonna have a real bad day. Get it?

Really? You had an idea once? Well alright! Did it involve various conclusions on floor mat?

Reminds me of Batman vs Joker vs Alien vs Predator
Doesn't "flaming" commonly go with homosexual?

And should we be worried?
These never get old

What does her personal profit have to do with it?

the chances of you guessing its IP address are vanishingly small.
Indeed. Vanishingly small is an understatement
Sounds exactly like Gillette saying "Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades"
How can a flaw in the standard only be exploitable in one version of one implementation of the standard on one specific target OS?
OpenSSH is the Highlander. There can be only one. Debian is now decapitated.
More importantly: can you send me the output of "ifconfig" and "lynx -dump http://www.ipchicken.com/"
