My toaster sends emails, plays dvd's, works as an alarm clock, you can watch TV on it, use it as a baby monitor, opens the garage door, stores 30 gigabytes of MP3's and works as a radio....
Oh yeah, it also does something with bread.
No, but you can whine when the federal government throws you in jail because you decided to show a group of people how to saw off the top of a car so tall people can sit in it!
I learned that lesson without a chemsitry set. When I was 12, I had a glass bowl of hot soup and I decided that the soup was too hot so I plunked in a few ice cubes and stirred it up and *POP!* the glass broke all over and I burned my lap.
I have a 12 year old brother who loves messing around with the level editor this comes with.
He made a "pokey the penguin" (www.yellow5.com) level.
He basically made a large map divided by a large stream with a bridge in the middle.
On one side was a race of penguins that only say "Yes!" and their king is named Pokey, who asks you to retreive the Arctic Circle Candy stolen by the italians.
Across the drawbridge of course is a bunch of stereotypical italians named tony, guido, etc and they all say things like "That's a-one spicy meat-a-ball"... Anyway, after confronting the italian king about the arctic circle candy he attacks you, and once you kill him you can pillage the arctic circle candy off of his corpse.
Once you return the arctic cirlce candy to pokey, he rewards you with "The Biff Guantlet" then it ends.
I was amused to say the least. I wish I had something like this instead of legos when I was 12.
Your friend is a walking anti-advertisement advertisement!
It's like anarchists who form an "anarchist party"
or punks that say "Wearing a uniform is for robots" meanwhile, they are wearing a punk uniform.
You are pretty much like everyone else, right down to your monkey DNA, get used to it.
Isn't sound our most perceptive sense?
How hard would it be to say, control a 3D sound source with a mouse, get it to match up with other "Enemy" 3D sound sources in a similar position and then fire?
Is it possible to develop good hand-ear coordination?
You think actual people moderate this stuff?
Formula to get +1 funny:

"I feel kinda like god."
The chinese are horrible at defacing websites.
I mean come on. Can't you be a little clever and do something more exciting than "Hacked by Chinese!" or "Falun Gong is Good!"
First you convert music to digital information that is an approximation of the original sound and you say "No, it's still good!"
Then compress and stream the music and it's like "No, it's still good!"
Now you are playing Digital Compressed Music through Gameboy speakers?
What's the point? This is like taking a painting and then running a guassian blur filter on it.
As evil as these overlords are - if you take away their business, they are still rich, the people are still poor the only difference is the evil overlords have no reason to keep the poor people alive anymore.

Just so we are clear, who is responding to these questions, you or the bot? Does it matter?
If Spam didn't work, why do I get a hundred pieces of it every morning? Cause you are hungry and it beats cat food?
Cowboy bebop had an excellent plot line. Maybe you just fast forwarded through it all looking for violence and nudity?
Being mature educated college students i'm sure this bandwidth will be used for nothing other than strict educational purposes.

A more likely comprimise is adding more appearant commercials INSIDE of the shows.
Like in the move "the truman show".
"Holy Pepsi Batman, Joker has stolen Gotham's Snickers supply and is headed towords the abandoned Nike factory! To the BMWatmobile!"

About $550,000 in money, software and consulting services?!
How generous to give up $20 dollars, 50 copies of XP and 3 hours of tech support.
Despite much funding from nestle:
Choctonium:
Atomic Number: 118
Atomic Weight: Delicious
will now have to be eliminated from the table.
D'Oh!
As you can see our people are intelligent and creative! We listen to the cure and wear black clothing.
Way out in the water, see it swimmin.

No, it would be better to hire someone to audit the code rather than develop the same thing.
