Do not worry, my son. Join the Church of Patrik. I'll make up the details later, but most of it involves sending half your paycheck to me, to save your soul or something.
Ofcourse, they even have a special book for that. Something called a "phonebook" or something. It's a very large list of strangers all willing to talk to you.
So we covered the simular/similar issue. Now how about you pick the right spelling of a particulary often misspelled Dutch word:
[_] onmidelijk
[_] onmiddellijk
[_] onmiddelijk
[_] Ok, I get your point!
They'll probably use ethanol or simular simple alcohol as it's much easier to handle. The wet spot might be embarrising, but getting CO2 (or CO or whatever. I'm not going to look up the exact chemical reaction, as someone would probably point out I made a mistake in it and make me look bad. This way I just look lazy.) poisening on a bus full of cellphone users would be worse.
Ofcourse I'm joking. Most likely the amount released by each phone would be very small compared to what comes out of a human.
Get a generator, some are just as portable as a 1985 laptop Some people might object on the toxic fumes, but that shouldn't be a problem, just claim it's your right to poison the people around you. Works for smokers, doesn't it?
(IANAL) I think MS has the trademark on "windows", but only in the domain of software. I doubt they could win a case against a product in the domain of glass windows that uses the word "windows" in its name.
Free to access if everywhere? I doubt it is going to be free. What MS (and other SW companies) want is to turn buying software into renting "services".
While that's nice for some purposes, I don't like the fact that I'll end up with even lesser control over my own system. Basicly I'll be forced to buy new hardware whenever MS decides I should, just to be able to continue to write a letter.
You know about that "outside" thing? I've a few of these too, nicely behind glass ofcourse. I just wonder: do I have to feed all those moving things in there? Or do I have to water it? It seems like I can open those glass things, but I'm a bit cautious since I don't know for sure those things in there won't bite. Also is there a way to keep the light in there on a bit longer or is that harmfull to the little creatures?
And his prescription for the Jews in Nazi Germany was to commit mass suicide in protest of their treatment.
So if your race/religion/whatever is procecuted and mass murdered, the way to protest against it is suicide? If I ever intend to commit genocide, I'll remember to spread Ghandi's ideas among them first. From a dictators POV Ghandi was a genius.
Ghandi should have told them to leave. If the people of the country you happen to be in want to have you death, the wise thing to do is to relocate to somewhere else. It may be your right to be there, but rights mean shit when you are death.
Duke nukem forever? Yes, I remember about that myth. Many, many years ago, when the internet had manual packet handling, in that time you wrote your packet on a sheet of paper, wrote the IP and port on an envelope and had someone deliver it to the receiver, there was already mentionings on a mystical game that would be soon released. It would be a magical game that would display real life graphics, cure AIDS and end all wars. It would prevent a natural disaster each time you played. Everyone was waiting for it, however no one has ever seen it. That didn't prevent that the myth became the dominant religion in most parts of the world.
Ofcourse in our modern times with our modern science we no longer believe in such nonsense. There is no Duke nukem Forever and there never was.
I think their green-ishness is pretty artificial. Their cartrige doesn't release CO2 in the atmospher when used. However the company that's going to produce the H2 and fill the cartriges is very likely to extract it from natural gas and releasing the CO2 then. With other words: this is as far from the truth as you can get without lying. Unless, ofcourse, they set up a hydrogen extraction plant that's powered with renewable energy and use electrolysis to get the H2. But considering the startup price, that's pretty unlikely.
It's just going to make the storm more powerful. You've got to find something much more far fetched to deal with a storm. E.g. Scaring hundreds of birds on the beach and have them fly right into the storm. If that doesn't work, try pinguins. If even pinguins don't work, you'll have to have the hero to jump from a plane into the eye of the storm with a bucked of water, ductape, 6 marbles, his trusted knife, some rope and toilet paper. If the hero can't jump, his love-of-his-life is an acceptable replacement.
Personaly, I'm againt religion as well. I would celebrate the day the last believer left his/her church. But I accept that other people think otherwise.
IMO religion is intellectual lazyness. Instead of figuring out why e.g. floods happen, just blame your God and be done with it. Instead of building a dam, let's pray!
This covers religion (no proof), witchcraft (no proof and definitely not repeatable), astrology, ghosts, even racial hatred (proof? of what).
I really wonder why people even believe in astrology. How could the light of a star, light that was emitted thousands or even milions of year ago, have anything to say about a persons life?
even racial hatred (proof? of what).
Proof? Easy! Because I'm born with this skincolor, my race just has to be superior to all the other ones, right? Otherwise I would be born with an other skin color. Racism is just the longer, more elaborated version of "I'm better than you, because I say so!"
There is also a second kind of racism: the "I got hurt by a perons with a (color) skin and therefor I'm suspicius of other people with a (color) skin"-kind of racism.
Parents have already taken care of that. Most are brought to school by car and dropped off in front of the school (mostly because the hallways are too narrow for car traffic).
What about when your kid reads Slashdot and uses OpenBSD with encrypted volumes at 15 years old and runs his browser in a chroot jail with connections being routed through TOR to a server via an SSL Tunnel?
Do like all other parents do in a similar situation: Put a blank stare on your face and go back watching TV.
IIRC the only proven health hazard games have is physical. Bad for the wrists and physical condition. Funny thing is that if the anti-gamers would attack games for the physical effects, they would have most of the medical professionals agreeing with them. But then they should attack TV as well, since it has the same negative effects, and parents aren't going to sacrifice their entertainment-god, just as people didn't stop smoking when it was proven that it leads to all sorts of cancer.
The charirities do make use of their ignorance. But the TV commercials aren't the sole way they manipulate, they commonly use a different type of world map. I forgot how this type of map is called, but it shows the southern hemisphere as being enormouse compared to the northern hemisphere.
True, the average American should spend more time learning about the rest of the world. But that may be true for inhabitants of other countries as well. But that aint going to happen as long as TV gets more attention than books and websites on real, educational topics. Educational TV isn't.
Thousands of people are writing letters demanding that you be investigated while not a single solitary soul is writing the FBA saying you're a good guy. Most people might take that as a hint that their views are not actually meshing well with reality
People like Jack see such things different. He'll probably assume the "majority":
* doesn't care enough and needs him to save them.
* is too affraid to act and needs him to save them.
* is under the influence of these evil games and need him to save them.
I don't think we're already rid of him. And even if he's gone, there're still thousands more, eager to replace him. Each of them equally clueless.

Right, the day the fusion-reactor-on-a-chip is available, they'll sell cellphones with build in 50MW laser cannon.
That depends... "Well I was smoking my sigarette while refilling my cellphone and then I woke up in the ambulance. "

They told me that "every time you touch yourself there, God will kill a Dodo." Maybe I should have listened...

simple: hit people with power on the head with sign. Then sue them for damaging you property.

Are you implying that blogs are supposed to be read? I thought those were the places where characters go when you press backspace.
Parents have already taken care of that. Most are brought to school by car and dropped off in front of the school (mostly because the hallways are too narrow for car traffic).
Easy, God will keep an eye on the web and he'll tell the principal if you blog.

You do are aware I was talking about the view the average european or US citizen has? Not about the causes of the problems of Africa.
