"I have NEVER seen a political office that REQUIRES any level of education. Even when i lived in Texas, you can elect a judge that is NOT a lawyer. I would love to see some links to the effect that being a politician requires any level of education. I know for a fact you don't have to have any to be US President (easy to check the constitution)"... you don't need to look that far to figure that one out;-)
I completely agree with you. The most reasonable explanation I've heard so far.
So many times have I read the "meta matrix" explanation here on slashdot, I've lost count. If that's supposed to be a surprise, it ain't surprising anyone. It's the *obvious* answer, and everyone seems to be going for it hook, line and sinker.
Consider this everyone. In the trailer for the 3rd film (you did stay to see the trailer, didn't you?;-) it appears the major "showdown" ( / action) is going to be the battle to save Zion. For this to be even remotely interesting to watch, the audience has to believe that Zion is worth saving. If it's just another meta matrix, well who gives a sh*t right? Also the obvious problem is that if Zion *is* in a meta matrix, then they must somehow escape this matrix too, right? But how could the W. brothers have any way to make us believe the 3rd one is the "real" one. In short, the whole thing loses all credibility.
I don't believe they would make such a mistake. There must be a better explanation for Neo stopping the squiddies in the Real World (TM), and the parent post looks to have the most half decent explanation I've seen so far.
Um, I don't think a good IQ test should have any general knowledge questions at all, should it? How does general knowledge relate, at all, to intelligence?
Flamebait? What's that moderator smoking, and where can I get some?;-) I just wanted to say thanks for the laugh dude, I'm a New Zealander and I found that damn funny:-D

Moderators, put the crack away eh? That's not what I would call "insightful" - but it's gotta be the funniest thing I've read all evening! Thanks for the laugh dude:-)
I think you must be getting vi confused with emacs;-)
Besides, you can still install plain old vanilla vi on linux boxen - well, I have on my Debian GNU/Linux system at least. So you've got choice, no need to bitch:)
"Throughout the past decade, the U.S. Marine Corps has been tasked with establishing and maintaining law and order, countering civil disturbances, and responding to various threats around the globe."
""Riots, protests, noncombatant evacuations, and sanction enforcement are just a few of the situations where this kind of tactical barrier would be most useful," says Capt. Andrew B. Warren, MDS project officer for Marine Corps Systems Command"
Obviously you missed something. The origional poster wasn't being lame, he was being funny. I read that as being tounge in cheek. It's likely he agrees with you. He's obviously not being serious, I mean how many script kiddies have even heard of perl?;-)
It's "The X Window System", or if you must shorten it then simply "X". "xwindows" is certainly not an official name, just one newbies who've just switched from an MS OS often use...

Thank you. I was waiting for someone to say it.

If only I had mod points...
LOL!

I can only think of one game where this is so, and IMO it bites compared to it's competition. :)
Speak for yourself
the poll was advertising :)
"laugh now. but bill and ted will have their revenge"

Am I the only one who thought of two totally awesome dudes playing air guitar when I read that?
quoth the article:
" machines fitted with software to circumvent anti-copying measures built into some CDs"
don't think this would get very far in the US ay....
If I'd known it was worth 4 karma points I wouldn't have deleted it! :)
Hey, what about "The Matrix"? Don't get me wrong, I love that movie, but...
"We have to get a lock on your input output carrier signal so we can pinpoint your exact location"
"This is where we broadcast our pirate signal and hack into the matrix"
Ok, I could think of many more but you get the idea. I mean, WTF were the producers thinking?!?
"Wish I had a link to some of the studies"
:)
Screw the studies, just give me a link to the pr0n!
From the article:

no... more than likely, if you were Linus, you'd say "I don't care" :)
