    Or use what they use for satellites, have a voting system. If the results of the systems dont match then there is a problem. Odds of both having the same error at exactly the same time would be extremely small. This would require spending more money by using copies of the core electronics though.

    "Hidden in plain view"? So what they are saying is that the universe exhibits the same behavior as my car keys.

  8. Re:Users. on Millions Continue To Click On Spam · · Score: 4, Funny

    How about we just have a TV show or a movie they want to watch, but teaches them?

    Great idea. Here is a sample from the new soap opera, "One Operating System to Run"

    "Madeline, we can't keep seeing each other like this."
    "It's your wife, isn't it?"
    "No, she doesn't care. She hasn't since the accident. It is...I can't say it..."
    "Tell me Steven! Tell me!"
    "Fine, it is your hard drive, it is a mess."
    "What? How can you say that?"
    "Admit it Madeline! Not only is it heavily fragmented but it is full of bloated logs, unneeded installation downloads, duplicate mp3's, old temp files, core dumps, I could go on."
    "Oh Steven, it's true! It's true! Please help me! I love you! I want to change!"
    "Ok, just go to www.diskcleaner.com and download..."

  22. Re:A Clockwork Orange on Using Classical Music As a Form of Social Control · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just read a study (sorry, don't remember source) that studied people's impression of crime vs the actual crime rate. People in the 70s, when crime rates were high, actually felt that crime was LESS of a problem vs today when crime rates are lower. People seem to exaggerate problems more the smaller they get, like having a grain of sand in your eye.

  23. Re:A Clockwork Orange on Using Classical Music As a Form of Social Control · · Score: 1

    They thought it was an instructional video actually.

    I'm more familiar with the Mad Magazine version "A Clockwork Lemon" anyway.

  24. Re:As always... on Another Study Attacks Violent Video Games, Claims To Be "Conclusive" · · Score: 3, Funny
