Believe it or not, people who have jobs(you know, those people you hate and can't join) sometimes have reasons for not wanting dummies like yourself bookmarking into the site. Hmm. They may even have a viable business reason, such as not letting a competitor link into their site without going through the caveats and agreements necessary to reach that page. For example, on a medical page, its quite possible they want you to acknowledge that using their website does NOT constitute actual medical advice, and that you should seek a doctor's professional opinion if you are having issues.
Bah. What do I know anyway. I'm one of those clueless idiots with a job. Not a webmaster, but almost as bad, given I'm employed.
Funny. I can tell a clueless webSurfer from a clueful web surfer. If they're using lynx or some other Luddite throw-back of a browser, then the web surfer is a geeked-out loser who really really needs to find something else to care about. If not, you have someone who has something else to do with their time other than yammering on about something no one with a life cares about in the slightest.
Did you actually read Neuromancer? Dipshit, Gibson's net has very, very little to do with an artificial reality. It has more to do with...well, don't want to ruin it for you, since you didn't actually read it.
What do you consider computer literate? Able to use the mouse with the language/coloring/math software designed and aimed at their age group? Such software satisfies the kids' inclination to do what Dad's doing(typing on the computer & using the mouse) as well as provide ways for them to make their own coloring books, draw their name(one of the first words most kids learn to recognize as a word), and learn foreign languages so they can interact with their cousin's relatives.
As for OS BS, I think you're dead on. OS doesn't matter until after you discussed the concepts of free enterprise, macroeconomics, and our place in both those topics. Suffice it to say I would leave this discussion til a later age than ten or eleven. This guy's a bozo.
Rather than pushing it to the side or destroying it, couldn't we just speed it up, so it passes through the intersection point BEFORE earth gets there? Physicist replies are welcome, all others please stand aside for the people with knowledge.
Finding someone without a conflict of interest who also happens to be an expert in a field is more difficult than you allow. Scientists work for companies or research facilities. Policy experts generally work for think tanks. Companies, research facilities, and think tanks all eat government dollars, just in different ways.
By the way, your analogy serves this point as well. Are you saying that mechanics NEVER take advantage of clueless clientele? In some situations, the person who wants to sell you a new something versus repairing your old something will wind up costing you less money. Once again, it comes down the analyst, not their trade.
This is an obscure trade board with little or no policy making power that is likely to do little more that waste some more money.
are you guessing, or do you know for a fact what this board does? link, please?
Here's your link. Looks like they do more than just sitting around. I'm not concerned, as I think industry experts are qualified, but I could see how you could be if you distrusted industry experts. As for the conspiracy angle, I don't get it. What's so suspicious about the current President appointing someone to a position in a federal agency? Who the hell else is going to do it? It wouldn't be naive to assume that Bush appointed him to the board for nothing, it would be fucking stupid. Of course he's to do what he was hired to do. Get a grip.
People who fortell doom due to the unforeseen effects of are just retelling the story of Frankenstein. Worthy, but it helps to learn the lesson: don't fear technology, fear those who would misuse it. Truth told, I'm a little leery of getting too happy with the code in too short of time. I'm still willing to see the studies done.
1. Legal documents can be signed over the Internet. People can put their actual signature down on a piece of paper(provided there's a webcam so they can see what they're signing.)
2. Provide someone with a transparent mask, and you have talking heads. Beyond the humor factor, you can see all the things they're not saying with their words.
3. Boxing matches, over the Net. Fight games, oh, and UT5 will be a whole lot more fun.
4. Back to serious applications, medical procedures could be performed, once this technology was sufficiently advanced. Doctors already wear scopes. Throw on some gloves with this tech and you can hire the best surgeon in the world to perform battlefield surgery(or for those who don't have war on the brain, surgery performed out in the middle of the wilderness.)
Yeah, I get the porn. Blah blah. So what. This advance is truly amazing, and we'd be fools not to see what we can do with it.
I can't believe this was modded to informative. Now, to complete the irony, somebody is going to mod this comment down and out of everyone's sight, probably for being off-topic.
Let's get it clear, cowgirl, he is FAR from the only person who thinks you're off your rocker. Truth told, he spanked you on EVERY SINGLE POINT. Go ahead, break out the insults. Really, no one cares. You've been made to look like a fool. Yes, people are reading this far down in the thread. The way he took you apart was quite entertaining.
By allies, you mean current allies, right? Irony is borne in the heat of necessity, isn't it. Ah well. Don't get me wrong. I'll be the last second guess historical decisions. By and large, it seems that truly colossal mistakes are only known years and years after the fact.
Unless you are the slobbiest bitch on the planet, there is no way your bathroom compares to the stink-ridden piss and shit covered hell holes that the theatres offer up.
I am coming to the opinion that people who use such terrible grammar are really in no position to say exactly how the language is changing. I have no fucking idea where you're seeing more people spelling it this way, unless you're Timmy the Gimp Boy and your only social outlet is Slashdot.
Just in case you are wondering, you should've said, "I think that the English language has...." Hopefully you get the idea.
Wow. I'm used to this kind of hilariously blatant idiocy being tied to an AC, not a bonafide dumb ass willing to sign his name. First time for everything...
Congressional members are elected by a popular vote. Ashcroft, who(slows down and uses small words) is NOT a congressional member, is an appointee who had to get congressional approval to take office after the President nominated him.
Off-topic? Yes. Informative? Yes. Interesting? No. Funny? Only if you think the guy above is funny.
No content...I'll reply when I'm more awake. Just wanted to say that I couldn't agree with you more. I'll give you a deserving response during the day.
I'd love to believe this. I really would. Unfortunately, this rather simplistic ideal is something that doesn't hold up to facts. Companies overbought the vision of a new generation of snake oil salesmen. Several trillion dollars later, we have a few really harsh lessons to show for it. Truthfully, neither president can be faulted for the mess. If you want to look for a source of this disaster, take a look at your fellow commuters, who bought stock in Exodus, Pets.com, Allair, and their ilk. Everyone was a genius, and no one wanted to be left out. When the lights flitted on(what, we have to make money?) off the entepreneurs went into the shadows. Don't blame Bush, don't blame Clinton. Neither of them made the general public pony up for this losing gamble-the New Economy.

You're a fucking idiot. Lawsuits do not lead to being convicted of a felony or misdemeanor. It leads to people losing money. Dipshit.

Missed one.

By modern-day conflicts, are you limiting the possible arena of combat to fighting third-world countries? On what basis are you doing this?

Okay...this is done.
Why? Well, either you're a troll, or the obvious is beyond you, in which case I simply can't help you.
Right...and the presidency is about morality. Oh wait...
Right...and you believe that Bush, president for a month and a half, had more of an impact than Clinton, president for eight years. Come on now...
