You are worried how technology is misused by people. Right so far? And you blame the people who misuse it AND the technology, as you've stated elsewhere in this thread?
What are we, a country of pansies all of a sudden? I see people traveling everyday without even thinking of "ooohh, the terrorists are out to get us, aahhhh....". Statements like this make it seem we're all holed up in our basements with a shotgun and stock of canned ham waiting for the end. These geeks just don't wanna leave their computers for some fruity webby awards. Sounds cool to me though.
Whew, sorry. Rant-a-licious! Moderate this OT, pronto!

It is amusing when someone thinks they are making a point, but are in fact embarassing themselves by thinking they can see an irony where none exists. Put simply for you: I "flamed" him since he spews the ad nauseum garbage to the world of how disappointed *he* was, and how *he* feels the need to inform the world of his opinion. Not flaming him only for his opinion, but because he puts it forth in a way that displays that his is the only one that exists. I am pointing this out to *him* as a suggestion for him to go f**k himself (I'd like to offer you the same olive branch). Great work indeed. Remember, those who can't do, criticize. BTW, posting as "anonymous" really doesn't make a difference.
Any other cool ideas on how to have chewy (or anyone) take out Jar-Jar. Just of fun of course, I love the cuddly little bastard (as long as he doesn't take up too much screen time).
- How bad the other movies somehow failed to live up to every one of your impossible expectations - How much you hate Jar-jar - How George Lucas should listen to your creepy emails. - How he should please you and the rest of the mostly conflicting opinions of every guy who went to the movies and fancies themselves a critic. - To declare "[Will be] worst episode ever!" - You'd make his vision of his creation of his universe so so much better.
... and women should be treated equally; they should be allowed to wear pants instead of a dress that you could look up through the glass ceiling created by the male-dominated poker-playing world conspiracy keeping them down. Burn, burn! BURN!
...giving anything at all a big fanged grin and some pseudo-bondage chic will make it entertaining.
Works over here.
This is of course a false belief, similar to the belief (popular in Asia and, I'm told, elsewhere) that giving something cat ears, a cat tail, and enormous big eyes makes it automatically entertaining.
"Now Mr. Shaggles, I'm going to dress you up in this miniature tuxedo I took of of my sister's Goin' Out Tonight Ken (TM) doll, and then I'm going to strap you to a 1/25th-scale mock-up of the table in Gold Finger made out of popsicle sticks. Then, I will dismember you with this high-powered, laser engraving printer. Any objections? No? (Hamster beginning to visible cry) Excellent."

Mardi Gras celebrates the showing of breasts.
College students will all throw-up in the dumpster by the KFC on Bourbon St. and people will be having drunken sex and getting trashed all night long.
question: what is the sound made by a post that's supposed to be taken as a joke fly over the head of a kid who loves posting scathing replies to illustrate their bitterness and compensate for their lack of wit?
Ooooooh -- fatality! I'm just kidding you're a swell little guy, i'm sure.
zing, you are the clever wordsmith. The post was a joke nothing that ever really happened, when someone kicks your seat it's usually an accident, and if they do it more than once I will ask them nicely to stop because sometimes people really don't realize that they're annoying someone in a subtle way like that.
And what are you going to do, threaten the girl drinking vodka or the crying kid to stop -- that's what kids do, it's the fault of the parent for making them come...It's cute that you enjoy seeing yourself do this and that, but when it comes down to it, I'm sure you would write such a thing because you do the exact opposite and say nothing.
If someone were sucking face right in front of me I think I might elect to give them a simultaneous wet willie.
God, give me a break testosterone boy. Then again, maybe it was you I saw making out with your ugly girlfriend, hehe.When someone kicks my seat, I turn around, and stand up if necessary
That was a good one, "if necessary". ack, you're a joke.
those people who though it'd be a great idea to save money not having to hire a babysitter and bring their toddler who will, with fail, start crying exactly at the moment the opening credits start to appear. Oooh, and also the people who really, really think everything is supposed to be laughed at by slapping their hands together while jumping up and down in their seat like a fucking spaz. Let's not leave out the ugly Cassanova in the row in front of you making out with his horrid-looking girlfriend. Of course, we can't blame them since the movies are the only place where the lighting is just right. And how can we leave out the dickheads who could have sat anywhere in an empty theater but sit right behind you, and seem to loose all control of their ability to control their legs, kicking the back of the seat every, goddamn, motherfucking, five minutes. We can not forget all these people, for they are what make the movies a truly enjoyable experience, and make us all lose all hope for humanity.
You know, it's at least fitting that he is now widely considered as one of the fathers of computing science and cryptography. And it still is funny that they never really end up teaching you more about these people, maybe because their personal life doesn't matter or maybe because their personal lives don't jive with what is considered socially-acceptable to learn about in academia. I chuckle at my own ignorance as well when I think that the first time I found that Alan Turing was gay was when I read a fictional book in which he was a placed (as a real figure from the history of war-time code-breaks). Funny, maybe it makes people uneasy (then and now) that a gay man had a tremendous part in saving countless lives during the war (if not saving the entire British isle from speaking german).
Actually i was going for neither a troll nor a flamebait type post. I just love the way people so matter of factly regurgitate every stupid, over-stated tidbit they read in a game magazine (or where ever) and think they just informed the planet, and are impresssing everyone with their exclusive knowledge. OK, I think I'm a bit of a whacko either way...
But will one new company try to take advantge in the vacuum left by MS's downfall. Maybe companies are left having closed except that they build a following for having stable, well-developed software. OLr maybe some OSS with charging for support, setup/maintainance. Whatever happens, some reactionary people who do nothing to contribute to anything will always have something to say, and call them evil.
MS is after all things, a survivor. Maybe they will embrace and extend an open model, or just give windows away for nothing and/or have a one-time licensing for each product.

Well, what is your stance on guns?
...fears of traveling.

Horrible lightsaber accident.

But why do they then always start itching from scratch then?
Were you trying to be profound just then?

Cats are so hot.
Humor detection? The original post said "I'm not joking".
Considering that the only reason to use an encryption algorithm is to control access to a message
I don't even know what to type here. I'm stunned, frankly.
just use a hamster.

That is what Mardi Gras is all about.
Well, you used ALL CAPS in strategic portions of your reply, so you must know what you're talking about.
Not sure keanu reeves has enough talent to be up to the challenge of portraying such a deep character.
okay, may i fondle you?
