true, true, true.
It should also be mentioned that you're able to find some rather repulsive phrases in the bible too, and you don't even have to look that hard. But perhaps people don't care much about that; "An eye for an eye" is what most Americans seem to consider the way to go anyway, at least today (let alone yesterday).

I am a student of military history, and what you're saying is simply untrue. I'm sorry if that doesn't fit in your Steven Seagal view of the world.
But you know this, of course. You just want an excuse to nuke some countries to make you feel better about yourself. Your cowboy attitude is what made people give their lives to take a plane right into WTC in the first place.
"All war is based on deception" - Sun Tzu, China, about 5000 years ago. I believe that's the person you're supposed to credit for that timeless wisdom.
They claim it cares about monkies and juice?! Those are just words to it, you could
just as easily raise it on gluons and dark matter, and I don't think it would notice a difference.
Ah, the old "chinese room argument". Drawn to it's logical extreme, it says that noone can ever truly learn anything from mere words. Or, put another way, semantical meaning is different from syntactical.
Not everyone agree, though. This keeps a lot of philosophers awake at night. Read some Searle, Dennett and Hofstadter, if you are interested. The issue is not quite as clear as it seems (although, in this particular case, it probably is).
Of course all those numbers you see in the URL determines what your browser will show. That those are, in theory, guessable does not imply they need to be in practice. RSA is breakable in theory too. And indeed, Root Core say explicitly:
You just have to guess them..one by one.
Yes, it could mean scanning thousands/millions of
messages just to see something. (slow it is)
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Microsoft bashing, but I wouldn't call this a "major security hole". It's a hole alright, but major? Not by my standards.

no it wasn't. The idea of robot pets is as old as the term robot itself, which was coined long before PKD was even born.
