Course that means my karma is bad on slash dot because I don't think like you computer nerds.
Anywho, it's trash science. You body is a doughnut, putting something in your mouth or breating in does not equal putting something inside your body. You body processes things and allows them to come into contact with membranes when they pass through you but you are protected.
Is stepping on an open can of rotting tuna good for you? No.
Cleaner is better.
All my online characters are female because all you nerdy guys give my girls tons of free stuff...
The Cyber makes me feel so cheap and dirty.
I'm a 40, 5'2'', 350 lbs, italian, have the hariest body you've ever seen.
Remember that the next time you're cybering! A big fat hairy man is on the other side of that cyber.

There's a very subtle comment in the movie Soylent Green and I paraphrase, "Almost all the books are copyrighted and we shouldn't even have them in the library.". The movie also very subtly makes the point that no one watches TV or listens to the radio any more...

"The fabulous statistics continued to pour out of the telescreen. As compared with last year there was more food, more clothes, more houses, more furniture, more cooking-pots, more fuel, more ships, more helicopters, more books, more babies -- more of everything except disease, crime, and insanity. Year by year and minute by minute, everybody and everything was whizzing rapidly upwards. As Syme had done earlier Winston had taken up his spoon and was dabbling in the pale-coloured gravy that dribbled across the table, drawing a long streak of it out into a pattern. He meditated resentfully on the physical texture of life. Had it always been like this? Had food always tasted like this? He looked round the canteen. A low-ceilinged, crowded room, its walls grimy from the contact of innumerable bodies; battered metal tables and chairs, placed so close together that you sat with elbows touching; bent spoons, dented trays, coarse white mugs; all surfaces greasy, grime in every crack; and a sourish, composite smell of bad gin and bad coffee and metallic stew and dirty clothes. Always in your stomach and in your skin there was a sort of protest, a feeling that you had been cheated of something that you had a right to. It was true that he had no memories of anything greatly different. In any time that he could accurately remember, there had never been quite enough to eat, one had never had socks or underclothes that were not full of holes, furniture had always been battered and rickety, rooms underheated, tube trains crowded, houses falling to pieces, bread dark-coloured, tea a rarity, coffee filthy-tasting, cigarettes insufficient -- nothing cheap and plentiful except synthetic gin. And though, of course, it grew worse as one's body aged, was it not a sign that this was not the natural order of things, if one's heart sickened at the discomfort and dirt and scarcity, the interminable winters, the stickiness of one's socks, the lifts that never worked, the cold water, the gritty soap, the cigarettes that came to pieces, the food with its strange evil tastes? Why should one feel it to be intolerable unless one had some kind of ancestral memory that things had once been different?" - 1984 George Orwell [Eric Blair] Published: 1949
Except they used to have supervison and had to get court orders before spying on us...
There's a big difference between 1999 and now. Pretending that it's always been this way is fight out of 1984 btw.
You obviously don't understand what you're talking about... Valve has never made $800,000,000 ever or even to date in total sales.
What's Valves stock symbol. Doesn't have one? Why on earth wouldn't it with $800,000,000 in sales from chicken pluckers XI! Who is bullshiting and pulling numbers out of their ass? Why just look at patheric old MGM in comparison to "pick a gaming company".
You need to try Guild Wars... Seriously, the put off with Guild Wars for most MMORPG people is their lack of understanding the punishement format in GW. The format is graded and you are not beaten like a dog for failure when you're level 10, that comes later on at level 20.;^)
No the game is not easy and it isn't over in a week... Most people think the "learn how play" part of the game is the entire game, it isn't. Plus you don't need to spend your life online to have fun.
Guild Wars takes time to learn and time to understand, try it for a month and you'll see.
Reward, reward, reward, punishment, reward, punishment, punishment, punishment, reward, reward, rinse repeat... People can't get enough of this stuff, they love it and some even get addicted to the constant rewards and end up destroying their lives over their precious Skinner Box.
Precious, my precious! Smeagol needs his precious! Smeagol must have his precious!
Middle Earth Online, why no it isn't addictive at all.
When's the last time a game made $600,779,824 or even $100,003,492? Movies learn from computer games? LOL,sometimes people try to hard to prove how smart the computer guys are compared to everyone else! This is one of those times.
I don't want to insult anyone or anything but maybe just maybe Apple has a point?
Most PC games are either sickeningly violent or skinner boxes. Tetris is and was a great exception to that rule.

Our elected officials will be spending the next few months before November appealing to the insipid and baser members of the community.

Well this is no different than turning public easements of land in to private property and charging your neighbor a fee for the electricity that flows over the wires on your easement.
Some things are public domain for a reason. Did you know that if you wanted to open a public service like a water company or an electric company you could run the wires to any home you wanted via easements?
Whats the reason for removing Internet easments? What about Roads? What about other public property? The Internet is ours not theirs. let's kick AT&T and Verizon off the Internet! Sounds stupid but they have no problems saying the same thing about you.
Slashdot Mirror
I was not trolling you asshole.
AT&T gets to moderate you!
EA only did what Mythic wanted someone to do. Over all this is a good thing.
Thanks... That was an on topic post you asshole.
Like me with a rating of 0 so no one can use it or see it. Yes, I want all of you to suffer as I do.

It actually doesn't rule the world?! Do citizens have actual rights too?! News at E'leven!

They are Skinner boxes however... I have to go hunt down all of demonbug's posts and mod them redundant now.
