Continental postmodernism: Simulacra, simulation, hyperreality. Just do a Wikipedia.
It's a lot deeper than "video games make you crazy" so I guess I'm sort of on the side of the Pope on this one. [And I'll need to bookmark this link to prove it to people who know me.]
I think so, because the wife's Flash 9 (css 2? -- whatever. Like I care) quit working on a KVM-qemu virtualized XP cylinder after an update, so she got it reactivated on her XP boot. That was an XP/Debian boot with XP on partition 1 handling the boot using the boot block trick chaining to Debian's grub 1 on partition 2. Decided to overwrite Debian with Ubuntu Lucid on partition 2 and that's a grub 2 boot of course. Did an fdisk and made partition 2 bootable before I called up the live disk to install Ubuntu. Now we have an Ubuntu/XP boot and her Flash 9 still seems happy so that might be the route to coexistence? Just boot partition 2 and let the damnable Windows programs do their worst on partition 1?
Catch-22? Johnny got his gun? Or both? I know it seemed like pushing the theme of insanity a little too far to me at the time. But, subsequently, I worked in a hospital in my 20s, and, well....
I wonder what part the internet played in spreading suspicion that this could be dirty tricks. Forty years ago would the police have simply said, "OK, let's get him!"
You know -- we have to get Assange "for the children." That would be the first thought going after a web site, wouldn't it?
Seriously, wouldn't put it past the U.S. government. There is precedent from the sixties with the Marianne Faithful/Mick Jagger "Mr. Jagger was apprehended eating a Snickers bar from Marianne's pussy" incident that Faithful goes into in detail in her first autobiography. Not true and the guy who got them the acid before the raid was an American they didn't know very well. Mick was giving some thought toward politics at the time. And one can Google for Jean Seberg + FBI for that incident around the same time.
He seems to have a focus on media. I recommend branching out to tangible, totemic objects. I still have the checkers/chinese checkers board and pieces I used to play games decades ago with a person who was an important father figure. In retrospect, it was probably important to him since it was copyright decades earlier and he probably played games on it with his brother who was killed young in WW II.
On the plus side, there is now a defense precedent which could make it a little harder (expensive) for Monsanto to prove at a jury trial that there was "theft." What if a farmer saves only a third of his crop to reseed and mixes it in with other seed?
That could work both ways, but generally expense isn't something a company likes to see in a product.
Anyone who cares about their data at all probably already has a USB hard drive, right? How much does it cost to download and burn a copy of PartedMagic? Fools and the careless I don't spend a lot of time worrying about.
Assange should _seriously_ consider having people around him 24/7 if he doesn't want to end up in a third world torture site and avoid flights that have a high possibility of getting diverted to a U.S. airport. Nobody screws that openly with the fantastic business the U.S. military/industrial complex has going for itself. It's just the reality today.
Research notwithstanding I do find government subsidies for a $40,000 car annoying. Heck, I get the feeling the people my wife and I associate with already think our Prius is an affectation looking at price vs. cargo capacity and amenities. Starting with this as the template and meme, will anything like these American plug-ins actually _half_ in price like a laptop?
A common statement seems to be, "If they could dismantle a Jupiter-sized planet and beam the energy out, they would have the energy to send a small manned craft to another star." Faced with that energy cost, I think any civilization intelligent enough to build the technology would ask whether they _want_ to. Which would also explain why SETI isn't finding interstellar traffic among the empires. I suppose there is still the possible scenario of a dying star system and a super-intelligent species putting everything into a colony ship (with perhaps a few individuals or bots and a lot of zygotes?) but it would be far rarer and probably less grand than pop fiction space travel.
We've had decades of pop media telling us that FTL is just a matter of finding the right rabbit hole to drop down into, but if FTL just isn't happening it's a different ball game.
I don't cry but I've been known to faint. Does that count? Really sick as a kid with a _lot_ of shots and blood taken over about 6 years. Trust me, the needles they already have for shots designed for the comfort of diabetes are tiny compared to the pig stabbers of decades ago. You could probably fit two or three of them through the bore of a reusable old autoclave needle.
Except for Orrin, of course, who is a well-known pain in the ass, I get the impression Democrats are _more_ in line with Hollywood if that is possible. I wrote loaves-and-fish, wine-into-water dear Sainted Democrat Paul Wellstone that I thought it was a definition of insanity that it was 5 years in prison and/or a $100,000 fine for watching a legally purchased DVD on a linux machine because it used the illegal-to-KNOW libdvdcss MATH. I got a reply back that he approved of the DMCA and would vote for it again. End. Case closed.
And it isn't Bush pushing for the kill switch. So, frankly, none of our (two) parties voice much difference on the internet and DRM.

My stepfather lives probably 50+ from the nearest McD -- but the town has a Subway. Cheaper franchise that a smaller town can support.
Just the hysteria. Nothing else to add.
Exactly. Where does he think the term "herding cats" comes from? I'd argue they have a lot more intelligence than Terri Shiavo too.
Considering the ultra-right gained?
I like it that Evolution saves in the same format as Mutt. Quite a lot that a person can do with that and basic unix commands.
Yes, some sites near and dear and it's really annoying when it's the stuff I BOUGHT. Because it's stupid.

A Neon? A Prius is a hatchback. Try fitting a 12" Dobsonian in a Neon.
Stupid, sloppy little rumour of an article.

In a world where there are 15 people who are each worth between 20 and 60 billion dollars?
Well, you asked. That should motivate the FBI a little more.
So much for feeling inferior about State U and not having a British Education.
Aristotle, notwithstanding, I'd really like the code to be true so I suppose I should read on.

We have a censorhsip gap!!
"Nuclear produces no emissions"
You've got to be kidding, right? It's a political football just trying to find a state that will take nuclear's "emissions."
