This is one of those times when you fall on your ass so hard you can only laugh about it.

I had an argument with a friend regarding the Terminator - since the robotic skeleton was the real Terminator and the flesh was like a costume, I argued you would NEVER make it look like Ahnold, as he looks dangerous and would alert guards and such.
You'd make it look like Wally Cox or Dom De loiuse, although 'The Terminator, starring Dom De louise' probably wouldn't have done as well at the box Office.
Perhaps the closest was William Gibson, who created a vat-grown assassin who could dodge shotgun fire and appeared to be a fat Japanese tourist with 12 cameras.

It's called the Big Blue Screen of Death, right?
Implement a rolling Elo system - get points for frags like in chess - the more you outrank your opponent - the fewer points you get !
And since he metamorphoses in a glittering blue-steel engine of destruction when threatened, I wonder how he's going to handle this one....
The USA is handing over democracy (in a small but growing way) to a no-vision for-profit firm that has a proven lack of ethics.
This is going to get worst before it gets better.
That's because of the important fact that you can't punch someone in the face over a modem.
HOWEVER - I have had the chance to meet a few jeering Internet bullies in real life and they always turn out to be cringing little shits.
Thereby proving the law!
This is part of a long term strategy by the rich and the super-rich to grab back the computer/Internet thing they let get away from them.
They do NOT want people to be in charge of their own systems. They want it to be like TV where you sit and consume.
They will patent and license to themselves and each other all the relevant algorithms with the long term goal of making open-source software illegal.
Did you XOR is patented and IBM pays to use it?
Free software will have to go underground. We could see people like Theo in jail.
This is going to get a lot worst before it gets better.
Ok this is an example of The Sweet Spot Problem.
During the course of evolution the process hits the sweet spot - then keeps going....
yes but always remember MS *ALWAYS* starts out sucky and then gets less sucky forever.
That'll sterillize it AND make it look Ghetto too....
I don't think it's violating our privacy to scan our email for virii.
Unless your email is encrypted your privacy is an illusion anyway.
This is completely stoppable at the ISP level. I received over 1,000 SoBig.F messages, not one of which had to go through!
as part of their plan to seize the internet and digital stuff in general, they get to hitch Linux up like a draft horse to do it.
Something that was supposed to set computers free is being used to help lock them down.
is to give the to-be-motivated party a 75% success rate.
Any more and it's boring - less and it's frustrating.
You are right - I am an idiot.

Kick my ass - I deserve it.
Are going to pull their code from Linux now that they know it will be used to kill people?
Can you even pull your code from Linux?
But the fact that my ISP - Rogers - is letting thousands of SoBig.F viral letters through to me alone is ridiculous.
WHY can't they filter for that???
They were running PBM games back when computers were for the very few.
When the net came along I thought well there goes Flying Bufflo, but no - they're still around - and on the net.
the lockdown of our computers and the taking back of the digitial domain the suits foolishly let out of their hands.
More/cheaper Linux boxes for everbody!

The real fiction in Capricorn One is that it has OJ Simpson as a good guy....
He was also into the mysterious power of 'transistors' to power Iron Man's suit....
When will one of them put on spandex and fight crime with one?
Could this be a Palestinian kick at the Jews they figure run Hollywood?
