Wasn't this what was thought of as the main "theme" for the (most excellent) film, "12 Monkeys"? Of course, we all know that this *wasn't* the plot, but, well, y'know.
If we're all going to die by genetic manipulation, it doesn't honestly bother me that much. We're all going to die anyways. My philosophy is to not fear death, but live life to the fullest you possibly can. If death should strike, wether it be by virus, car accident, cancer, etc., would not you wish that anyway?
The S3 Virge did what it was supposed to do... provide graphics for the ultra low end. Comparing $20 video cards against cards that, well, don't cost $20 is hardly a fair comparison.
Forget the RIO. Perhaps now S3 will release the specs on the diamond cards so that folks can right good linux drivers for them? S3 support has, thus far, been very good.
If word processors and spreadsheets are such "simple" applications, why the hell does Microsoft charge so much for their word processors and spreadsheets?
Hrms... Can you say, "insert foot into mouth" boys and girls?
I mean, it could have been worse. It might have helped that I was watching it with 6 other guys. MiSTing it wasn't that hard, either... a few choice lines and numerous opportunities to take jabs at it. Good stuff.:)

Perhhaps more appropriate to say, :)
"Behold the Nude Economy in all its majestic glory".
The movie sucked. Period.

So are yours. So are mine. Sheesh.
