I don't understand why almost every single sci-fi franchise has some kind of "save me" organization behind it when it's about to get killed off, no matter how bad it is.
I can't believe people think these things are fake. Try thinking back to elementary school and all of the hilarious shit that the funny kids said; kids act differently when it's just them and older people. They're actually a lot smarter than they seem singularly when they're with other kids, because they generally restrict themselves when around older people (unless they're either those incredible destined-for-glory-at-age-10 kids gifted with everything, or assholes). Hell, I could go to my local elementary school and do a similar interview, and I'd bet that the kids say funny shit.
This will just encourage more bad behavior; generally, when something is obstructed, it becomes more appealing. You hadn't sped previously; but now if you do, your parents are spying on you and can find out, it becomes more of a drive to get around that obstacle because it'd be "beating the parents". Kind of like unintentional reverse psychology.
"Laptop" is a perfectly good name and shouldn't be changed. However, if these things were originally called "sacktops", then we'd definitely want a name change to shift behavior.
When the hell are you going to need to destroy that much shit at once? When the land of Japan itself turns into a giant robot and threatens South Korea with its horrid bio-geo-robo-powers?
What the hell, a score of 5 for lines he didn't even come up with?
I'll have to remember to post a big passage from "A Brief History of Time" and get myself a big 5, Informative score.
It could also be that China's own firewall has been configured to do some creative redirecting instead of direct blocks. Then again I know jack shizzle about that whole affair. Banana hammock.
I can't think of a whole lot of things you'd go and buy after already getting them from P2P. Maybe as a token gesture or something, but practically, what's the point after you already have it?
Yes, I see the flaws in that argument and it's not entirely my position. Chew on it anyways =P
I had no idea Doohan was in such poor health. Evidently I'm supposed to care about who Britney un-married instead (which I sort of do, I need to keep my options open)
Popular Science also said "JET POWERED FLYING AUTOMOBILES BY 1963!!!!" or some crap like that. I don't want flying cars. People are big enough morons in 2 dimensons. Yes, people could make bodies for their cars so it looks like a giant Superman or Megazord or penis (or uterus) is flying around, but come on...
Imagine those conversations between him and your nerdy child...
"hey nerd, im guna beat u up"
"You mean tomorrow?"
"no i mena now punk im beatin up u"
"We're on the internet, I don't know what you mean"
"im puchin ur face rit now u faget"
Naturally, for the recruitment part of it, they really only care if the interesting parts are represented well. If somebody designed a completely realistic game representation of the Vietnam war, people who played through it wouldn't want to go into the army at all. Shoot, kill, reload from last savepoint if you die.
How about we introduce a shotgun to the next doofus that uses the phrase "information superhighway"?
Nah, bad idea... we'd run out of politicians way too fast.
Do they need a supercomputing cluster to figure out where foam is going to fall off next? Or perhaps to compute down to the millimeter exactly how much crap they'll be in if something goes wrong again...

The phone only needs to be on in order for it to work; "on" doesn't necessarily mean "being actively used".

I've got to wonder if politicians have any idea what these tech bills are actually talking about.

Studying from others mistakes. If it isn't their fault, I'll just have to convert my Shakira Robo-Booty-Bride over to Britney OS.

First post not about the bad title! weee!
We may now have the advent of "real" breast enhancement, so remember that in a few years from now, no, those are NOT shoulder pads.

Qué género es usted? El Man, La Woman, o Los Unspecifieds?
That really wasn't close to my point at all, but interesting nonetheless.

That's an amusing phrase.... "Liver transplants? On the INTERNET! (monocle falls out of eye) What a perfectly novel idea!"
Sure isn't as much as an embarassment as those Olympic mascots that look like walking condoms with a really bad case of gout.
Perhaps including an ASCII picture of Homer would have gotten the joke across better.
Nerrrrrrd!
