This is the kind of thing that gets me. Not that I don't believe it or anything, it just strikes me as one of the reasons we have growing unemployment. People's jobs are being replaced by technology, the human element is being removed.
A friend of mine worked in a local tv station, and she lost her job, and was replaced by a machine. Robotics and automated systems are a curse for the working man (or woman.)
That and foreign nations, and George Bush, but I digress.
My biggest PC annoyance is my father. Am I the only one who has a father (or some other relation), that knows nothing about computers, yet insists upon playing with all the settings they can find?
Physics can be very humorous, but only to those who actually understand the area that the joke is coming from.
Just like in various other occult groups (such as RPGers), some things they find very hilarious indeed can make little to no sense to a normal individual.
(PS, I am in no way trying to insult physicists, gamers or any other group. I am all of the above myself.)
Honestly, you must consider the fact that throughout all time, people have use euphemisms in order to hide the reality. Confusing language is the tool of every good businessman, like it or not.
Well, I let my players decide what our campaign would be about, like, what kind of antagonists, and what kind of conflict they want. They wanted to fight the Technocracy; its passe, but I said, sure, what the hell. Eventually we were led into a Void Engineer plot, and started fighting in the Umbra. (I suppose I should explain that we play with two storytellers, just for twists and variety.) And we agreed to give them a sort of minor sphere in Umbra; spirit that could only be used to step sideways, essentially, so that they could keep up with the Void Engineers.
While it was an interesting training story; and the interdementional fights were alot of fun, they learned they could just step sideways into a safe haven of sorts whenever they needed. Anyways, that was a bit ago. Our newest chronicle is a group of veterans who are trying to stop one of our own from becoming a Nephandus. (My storyteller partner agreed to play the poor bloke. hehe)
The Gauntlet and Avatar Storm was practically the one way I could keep my damn players from stepping sideways every chance they got, to evade problems. It was ridiculous. I didn't want to ban the Umbral realities altogether; which is why I like them. Now, I don't play much outside of Mage in the WoD RPGS (a little Vampire and Hunter gets mixed into my campaigns.) But I agree, they were just kind of pushing things aside to plug for new books.
I resent that remark; I've written at least one "Hello, World" program. I am 17, not 15. Also, excuse my poor grammar, I'm sure you've never made a mistake like that in your whole life. No where did I claim I was qualified to discuss Microsoft Security; it was merely playing on/. stereotypes; obviously.
Its not a comeback for some, just some more growth: Not all those DotComs were DotBombs. Look at Ebay, quite possibly one of the most successful internet businesses ever.
How exactly does a business of any kind "lay" you? I've heard of getting screwed...but never getting laid.
Well, if in fact the business was laying them, they were getting screwed, and therefore it seems logical that they would report the person screwing them.

The woman's age, grandmother status and religious strength aside, I'd still key her car if I ever saw it.

Sorry, I've already drawn up my entire christmas list, and its being hosted at thinkgeek. As it should be.
Except maybe the Family Guy DVDs, god I love that show.

Oy.

I would go out on a limb to say that the FCC would continue to try and not dabble in the internet's affairs.
Besides which, this medium should be free from government regulation, revenue loss or not.

I'm a personal fan of the multiverse of Mage; particularly the Gauntlet and Avatar Storm =)

Half-Life mods have alot of cheaters.
In other surprising news, Microsoft continues to make software with security holes.
