Should stealing unlocked cars be a crime? You're still stealing - just because it's not secure doesn't mean it's legal. And should telling someone a car is unlocked be a crime, since you're simply stating the fact?

Very few people here are debating "intro/extro" and are focusing more on "mainstream/alt-culture". Just because you "don't watch much TV" or "have anything to say" doesn't make you introverted, it just means you're less mainstream. If you don't have things in common, it doesn't mean you're everything that person is not. If they're Jewish, that doesn't make you Christian just because you're not Jewish.
Many people here are trying to make the argument, not that they're introverted, but that they're alt-culture and not as mainstream. Which is probably true, because you're at/. and this is popular but not really 'mainstream'. And the fact that I, or anyone else, is actually posting, makes us much less likely to be introverted at all. We're talking aloud, online (extro), we're not keeping to ourselves (intro).
I'm very interested in this book because I read some things in the review that ring true to me, but I'm not going to decide I'm introverted just because the stat of 25% would make me a cool minority. "You just don't understand me!" And if you're a/. script-kiddie, don't post on topics you don't understand - get out of high school first, and then move on from the "Win vs Mac" and RIAA threads to topics more serious.
The reason players and coaches can't bet on sports is because they're in a position to manipulate the system for their benefit. Since every person on earth is capable of such terrible deeds, why should anyone be allowed to wager on them? Doesn't this just promote the things they're (supposedly) trying to prevent? Or is it just capitalizing on an already existing market? (I forget the URL but there is already a site that allows betting on world events - it peaked during the Iraq conflict.)
the Transportation Department will be arresting anyone they see using a motor vehicle, under the suspicion that it might be stolen, or that they might cause an accident.
people get so uptight about wanting to play these games to wreck a little havoc, but if i wanted to watch someone walk and talk, i'd go plop my butt on a bench downtown. wheee. i wanna do things in the game that i can't do in real life - punch and kick, steal and loot, anger and dismay. i don't play halflife to take a safe, non-eventful tour of a lab. but then again, HL isn't set up to be played that way.
Start a Fight Club. Eventually, your superiors will join and if you're a good enough fighter, you'll become their superior. And your superiority will supercede theirs, and your power becomes far greater than theirs.
Seriously, whatever you choose to do: good luck. But never be afraid to take a risk/leap/chance; follow your happiness and personal well-being, not your wallet.
Since the exact countries I'm interested in are being posted, does anyone have any advice for someone in the US looking to work in London (or anywhere in the UK)? Personal classified reads: Currently a web developer, Masters degree in 2 years, willing to settle.
I'd need something beforehand to get a Visa to work there and I'm only looking to go for 1-2 years (I have no attachments whatsoever). Any advice from experience or observation would be much appreciated.
Definitely Ender's Game. I would recommend the first sequel, Speaker for the Dead (added a lot of interesting new items), but not so much the last one, Xenocide (boring, too much irrelevant side story). But even if you don't read those sequels, I again recommend Ender's Shadow, then Shadow of the Hegemon, and finally, Shadow Puppets (this last one is kinda quick and not as good but worth the 'closure' of a trilogy... or is it?...)
For some reason, Card is amazing in his firsts - EG and ES. But I feel he squeezes the story out too tightly in sequels, and then just stomps the crap out of the rinds for complete trilogies. However, like these previous posters, as highly as I would recommend the Hobbit in fantasy, Ender's Game is a book that will stick with you for ages. I read it at around 15 years old by recommendation of a teacher (who wasn't a fan of SciFi until EG) and I devoured it in a few days. Great plot, terrific characters (that warrant extensions), and fluid writing. I don't know how Card fares in fantasy but he's more than worthy of his Nebula and Hugo awards.

I see 2 things wrong with this:
1) what happens when the plane is shut down in mid-flight? fly it fast and straight and then shut it down and let it glide though the wall.
2) saying something is "immune to hacking" is like saying our airline "security is flawless". just saying it doesn't make it true.
