Not to mention that, in the event of apocalypse, they would still have electricity. That's one of the reasons I stayed a boyscout for as long as I did, until I was sure I could survive w/out technology. I guess I'm a little more paranoid than most though...
I was talking to one of my friends from over there about cell phones, and how people consider it rude. Today at lunch (in a cafeteria mind you) someone's phone rang, and his friends were hushing him before he even picked it up. I guess it's just not like that. Here it's almost considered rude to be talking on your phone in a public place. I feel like I need a telephone booth to use mine. I guess it's just not that way at all over there.
Yeah, I just thought of something else though, what about active stealth? Where missle keeps up a cloud of particles around it to difract radar. I don't think there's actually anything like this, but be useful too.
Heh, missles don't have to be the only targets either. Sounds like a fairly useful weapon. Although you do need line of sight, and I wonder about the nature/amount of damage it causes.
For me pain has a smell. The worse I hurt myself the stronger it is. Sometimes I can even smell it when I'm just thinking about getting hurt. Or when I'm about to do something stupid that is likely to get me hurt. Yeah.
(what you didn't see was that she navigated through all of that stuff to get to an xterm, and then she typed a command with 6 pipes and more punctuation than letters, but that wasn't on camera)
Everyone who's anyone knows that's the VI macro for 'turn on the power'
Yeah, but do they know the macro for 'boot up the door locks'?
Once again our fate rests with the teenagers. If they can complain just loudly enough to mom and dad that they heard that computers from.* supplier don't work properly (i.e. allow music/video/whatever to be exchanged freely) then maybe nobody will buy them and disaster could be averted.
Actually, there might be hope there. That's exactly the way it is in my house. IE: Kids bitch and moan about property rights, spyware, and supporting various sources of all that is evil; and parents couldn't care less. "Hey, it does what I want it to do". They've learned to work with what they have and now prefer it to having whatever they want. I've moved out now, so I've gone from being supremely annoyed to pity. But yeah, all my (reasonably intelligent) brothers are like that (I have a stupid one). Even the ones who only use the computer for email.
Symantec has a moral responsibility to inform the public if it thinks millions will be affected.
Like hell they do. They have a responsibility to do for their customers what their customers pay them to do. That is all. It's not their job to hold your hand.

The gestures in opera let you hide your porn faster. It's easier to just move the mouse a little than it is to hit the little x in the corner.
right, what they really need is mind control.

my phone can do that for me.

Wouldn't that depend on the wavelength of the laser? I doubt they would be using visible light...

Maybe if the link was posted specifically to bring it down. I've seen that before.
Right. As they fly their what? Paper airplanes. Perhaps launched from a giant paper aircraft carrier?
Heh, at first I read that and thought it said government enforced magnet.

do you use so many atx power supplies when only one can plug into the motherboard? How do they know when to turn off and whatnot?

You should simplify his circuit for him then, and send him the picture. I'm sure he'd like that.
Did these things really not happen at your high school, or are you just pretending they didn't?
Kind of makes me wonder which side of the tracks the writer of that sentence came from. Stupid bullies. They're all dumber than I am.
