With that in mind, I believe Robotics is the next big boom (as the internet was in the late 1990's) and within the next 10 years robotics will have affected us more than internet has. Think Roomba, DARPA Urban grand challenge, unnamed flight, and so on...

I think I'm going to sue/. for not protecting me against wasting my time. That should be worth a few millions too, right?
And if that fails I could sue my laywer for not protecting me against sueing someone for rediculous reasons.

A wise man who lived on the top of a large mountain once said: "Don't translate jokes. Translated jokes suck ass.". Since many people have climbed that mountain to seek his advice it must be correct. Hundred people who climb mountains to seek advice from some weird old guy can't be wrong, can they?
Pfff, having your own nuclear weapon is fun in the beginning. Scarring the neighbours and stuff. But it gets really old fast and then you're stuck with a 100Kg heavy metal tube that lays around wasting space.
If anyone is intrested I've got 2 of those I need to get rid off. Current offer is infinite virgins and a good seat next to some Allah-guy. But before accepting that I'd like to see if someone can do better.
Political cartel and a porn cartel are both in the bussiness of screwing people. The only difference is that porn cartel want to have the screwing recorded on video.
IMO it's fine to have ads in *free* (as in beer) games. It's fine to have ingame shops carry real life names and logos. It's fine to have items with real life product names in a game *if* it fits in the theme of the game. In a modern day setting it's fine to have a billboard about coke or cars. A comedy set in the middle ages or in the distant future might get away with a billboard for coke.
But please don't place interrupting or out-of-place adds in the games we buy. Those companies who do this are warned that we will replace such adds with naked women doing naughty things, make screenshots and mail those to Wallmart. Let this be called the Hot-Coffe-Treatment.
That's just plain cruel. That's like curing a heroine addiction by ripping every vain out of the addicts body through the nose. Or curing a Speed addiction by sealing the nose with a hammer. Or curing a sex-addiction by tieing two concrete blocks to the addicts genitals and trowing them out the 5th story window (the bricks or the addict, depending on taste.).
That site... People have been taken out and shot for less.
And then there are still people who believe eugenetics is a bad thing. If it prevents sites like that one, I'd be happy to live in a world where every boy is identical to VERY_POPULAR_GUY and every girl looks just like VERY_POPULAR_GIRL.
What is needed is a 48h cool-off period before letting anyone buy a game. And strong regulations on how they are stored. Computers and the game should be stored in differend locked closets. And no one should be allowed to carry a PC with a game still in the drive with a special permit.
The best way in the world to handle scammers is by impaling. Impaling would be a cornerstone of my regime. I don't think we've had enough of it in the past 500 years or so, and I aim to bring it back. I'd be Bruce the Impaler. Don't knock it -- during Vlad's reign, you could leave a bag of gold on the street in Romania and no one would touch it. Why? They didn't want to get impaled.
For some reason "impaling" brings up many mental images that are 18+ to say the least. But I suppose you don't mean that kind of impaling.
I don't bother with backups. I've got a airtight policy in case of a HD crash or any other form of data loss:
1)Look shocked and terrified.
2)Yell.
3)Scream.
4)Pull hear.
5)Bang head to wall.
6)sit quitely sobbing a corner.
7)Kick the cat.
8)Replace HD. (if necessary).
9)Reinstall software.
10)Kick cat again.
11)redownload mp3s, movies, games and pron.
12)Feed cat.
13)Mail goatse.cx pictures to random innocent people as an act of pointless revenge.
14)Make futile threats to a deity that if it happens again "the cat gets it".
15)continue life as normal.
Well there is one honest politician. He's kept in Area 51, since there is reason to suspect him to be non-human. It's not known if he's an alien or a mutant, but he's too dangerous to be released. No one can predict what would happen if he would get elected, but there are theories that predict the destruction of the entire American continent. Other theories predict that the damage would be limited to North-America and the northern regions of Mexico.
If they ban U235 how am I supposed to power my nuclear bicycle? All this bullshit about dangerous substances cause people to think Pu is something harmfull. Now I can't even hire schoolchildren in the weekends anymore to dust the Pu of the reactor.
If they're not smart enough to use some A/V correctly, why do you assume they'll manage to figure out what a "fileserver" is, let alone how to setup and use one?
How about we write a malware proof OS. That's orders of magnitudes easier that the above.

You should have thought about that before building that tower.

I know what you are getting at, but I don't give nude pictures to anyone. Sorry. ;-)

That's already done before. I think the Larry-games captured geek-feelings perfectly.

Now what could possibly go wrong with my plan?
Both have been taken out and shot.
Do you wish to receive their heads on a stainless steel spear?

1)patent in very broad terms.
2)Wait until someone invents something that fits within these terms.
3)Sue.
4)Profit!
Your ancestors who stock out their necks and died, demanding those rights. What? You thought the FSM came down and gave them or something?

And hopefully a "save game" feature...

No signs changing or anything. Unless you happen to work at the magical kingdom of NASA ofcourse.
