So it would be the most realistic MMORPG to date? Traffic jams everywhere, a bunch of factions fighting over limited resources and everyone else laughing as it spins out of control?
Why the fuck isn't the florida legislature doing this? Isn't this their job? Does every legislature get paid money to sit in a chair and say yea or nay?
Just like I dislike commercials, I also dislike your opinion of commercials. I DO NOT want to watch them, and I am willing to pay not to have to.
Just because you are accustomed to the subconscious gang-bang that is modern advertising culture, I will not condone my subjugation at the hands of your corporate masters.
Our rights are abstract and fleeting, easily stolen when we lapse in fortitude and much costlier to regain than to sustain. Your willingness to give up yours not only drags the rest of us down with you, but makes it harder for others to support you in the future.
I am not saying that Tivo is stripping our rights, I am saying that Tivo engendered a certain pioneering vision in the masses' fight that is now becoming corrupted. While this is not surpising, Tivo is corporate and is beholden to higher powers, it is another distressing example of the corporate advertising influence in society.
I think advertising is the worst and most prevalent drug in our society and that people fail to realize the impact it has on their subconscious. Mass market advertising contributes to the mental enslavement of the world to corporate society.
I have been searching high and low for two videos I saw in the past but do not posess. One is a video of a japanese guy doing the super mario soundtrack on a piano while blindfolded. The other is a different guy doing parts of the same soundtrack on an electric guitar.
If anyone has a bittorrent/direct link to these, I (and I bet many other slashdotters) would really like to lay my hands on them...
The DOD forgot to have mommy write their name on the things. If they are on public land, is there anything besides fear of reprisal (like a law) to stop somebody from taking the things?
The fruit of the tree deals with many human psychological problems relating to our 'supposed intelligence'. This intelligence we now have is an analogue to the apple: an enlightenment happens, there are consequences (both good and evil, or, NEITHER good nor evil), yet there is no turning back. It is not a call to embrace or recliam ignorance and nievete. He who strives to defeat his intelligence defeats only himself.
It IS a metaphor-laden story meant to help us understand conequences of past decisions (even decisions before our lifetimes) and the pandora's box syndrome: you can never close the box. Please do not make Genesis out to be more than it really is: a crappy, oft-retranslated copy of what was probably a good verbal story about human origins dating from before agriculture appeared.
(Reuters) Announcing their latest push toward monopolization of the intragalactic bathroom market, Sloan Valve Company announced today their "Sloan Great Wall" which will be able to flush billions upon billions of stars into their new "Sloan Black Hole."
Investors showed their appreciation and stock prices backed all the way up to the fifth floor, when a plumber was called to alleviate the massive flooding.
This will only serve to clog up the media aisle at your local computer store as more DVD+/-R newbs mill about like helpless sheep wondering which box they need to buy. They do not remember what type of DVD burner they have and honestly don't care, but by golly there sure are a hell of a lot of choices on this shelf!
Nothing like technology force-fed to the masses!
MUNIX FOR EVERYONE!!!
My point? Average Joe Luddite won't care until he arrives at home with the incorrect media and gets pissed off.
A good example of hope for the future that a group can decide it is no longer required. Look at this hypothetical email in comparison:
I'm very pleased to announce that a majority of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate has voted in favor of my proposal to disband the United States Congress.
I believe that this is an acknowlegement that the United States Congress was no longer representative of the active, experienced and skilled population and local governments, or a place where meaningful legislation happens.
Happy New Year to all!

best name yet for a p2p app. hope they polished it up a little bit more than gnutella was, because this is gonna get tossed by AOLTIMEWARNERNEWSCOPRATTetc PDQ and then we will have another MIA P2P APP.
it may be useful for me to point out that the second amendment is largely useless at this point.
when the bill of rights was drafted they used muzzle-loading, single ball shot. now we have frickin sharks that shoot laser beams from their heads.
think about it: we can bear arms. we can legally own semi-automatic weaponry (largest of which is.50 caliber). do you think your semi auto ak47 or sks or mp5 will really do much against the current weaponry of the government?
ha ha. jokes on you! any grass roots revolution is doomed to failure at this point. the only hope we have is changing things through the current political system. unfortunately, those good ole checks and balances are becoming as outmoded as our right to a weapon.
i just hit the refresh button after playing simcity 4 for about 8 hours (making sure to walk around the room every hour to prevent clotting) and BAM! i see a headline similar to the hilarious headlines generated by simcity 4.
i immediately rubbed my eyes and decided that it may be time to do something else for a while...

Less corporate market exposure paid for by the government.

Quick nitpik - it is "Athena Nike" that is the Greek goddess of victory. Athena took a couple other forms too, like "Athena Parthenos".
