Even if I were to believe such a thing were possible, the fact that the Daily Mail is the source makes me roll my eyes and dismiss it...
If there's a reputable source, that might be worth reading, but even then it's still a stretch to believe that all people from one culture type in the same way...
There's quite a difference between what you're proposing and what TFA talks about.
These not bionic eyes, they are contact lenses, and they don't have cameras in them.
You're right that such things could happen, and in some nightmare society, we could end up with compulsary bionics for monitoring purposes.
Buit this isn't anything to do with that.
And you could make this argument about any technological advance. "We've found a way to write in the sky!" "But what if the government uses it for propaganda?"
I also take issue with the social expectations paragraph. If your friends require you to respond that quickly, then you're telling me that you never take a shower, you never sleep, and you never have a social life that involves going to the theatre, the cinema, ice skating... need I continue?
And it IS fear-mongering to expect that. You're telling me that a government organisation (and it'll have to be one that does it) can organise bionic implants for every person in (your country name here) AND manage the massive network and storage infrastructure that would be required to make it work? Given my (the Uk) government's experiences with technological projects, I'm seriously not worried.
We've also had stupid laws for a long time. I don't know if it still is one, but there was a law in the UK that said that you could shoot a man from the walls of York, I think it was, as long as he was Welsh. But you know what? We had an attack of common sense and got rid of it.
And yes, there will be trials and freedom and democracy, because there are still people out there that give a damn, and are willing to swim against the tide.
Honestly, the idea of Rock Band : Endurance is a compelling one. Have a Rock Bank that makes you work really hard for your unlocks...
One of the tracks for drums could be Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick from "How the West was Won".
The drum solo is 15 or so minutes long...
If they're disgusting to take off, you're doing it wrong. As far as I can tell, condoms make post-coital cleanup easier, because all the mess that a guy makes is contained. You just need to tie a knot in the top of the condom, and throw it away. If you're feeling really fastidious about it, wrap it in a tissue first.
No, what you do is mix it with cheap nasty cheap vodka when clubbing.
Neither of them taste very nice, but after enough of them your tongue gives up and you can be drunk and dance for hours.
The only downside is the cat that installs itself in your brain overnight, which can be a serious inconvenience in the morning...
I've been thinking about this for ages, and it strikes me that a great mod for L4D would make it possible to choose characters from Tem Fortress 2 to run it instead of the four you have.
Perhaps have a limited selection, so the Heavy, the Soldier, the Engineer and something short range like the Pyro.
I'm not entirely certain how the weapon damages line up, but it would certainly be fun to watch a heavy go to work on a swarm of infected...
You say that, but just try turning up as a skunk.
Sure, they say they accept you, but the first time someone startles you, the inevitable happens, someone gets mace^h^h^h^hsprayed, and suddenly you're skunky no-mates...
Even though Dragons and Hydra's have roughly the same hit dice, lets face it, Dragons have a much lower AC and can deal and take alot more damage. Plus the fact that they can fly...
Just had a call from 1989. They want their THAC0 back..;)

Or, she might have thought he was a member of Al Gebra, and he was carrying weapons of maths instruction?
Not like the old days, eh?
I have to admit, when I hear "CIA's Former Director", all I think of is Enabran Tain .
Retired, yes. Out of the game? If he's still breathing, probably not.
Can it be developed so that it can reduce the speed of incoming projectiles? Like some kind of point defence.....speaker system.....
Please tell me that Cahn's name is pronounced the way I think it is....

Or access to google, and the ability to edit browser settings...
I would totally watch that....

Stop being such a pessimist.

Why do I have the Major General's song in my head now?
"I am the very model of good "high availability.
My peers and I retain a certain level of redundancy."
Damnit, I'm meant to be at work, not filking...
I can't help but think there's something missing from that one liner... Something about some shades, and a soundtrack by The Who....
Not to mention, what damage does it take to kill a zombie? Headshots only, or just a savage beating, possibly with a frying pan? Details, people!
Does that same logic apply to all crimes?
Even if it's something that the average person wouldn't consider a crime, like photographing a policeman or soldier in the UK?
Even if that policeman (for instance) is committing a crime at the time?

I think it sounds better as "Nuke the shite from orbit."
Of course that would work even better if you could get Sean Connery to read it aloud...

I thought the reason for hiring the lawyer was so he/she could get actual legal advice as to whether the forms exist, and if not, what can be done.
Lawyers can be good for something other than suing people...
At Bomb Camp...
No, I can't finish that....
It didn't. That's why the icon next to the article is the Python Foot.... ;)
Just make sure you don't roll a 1 with the Vorpal Toilet Paper, or you're liable to lose a leg...
Enough with the masturbation jokes already...
