But seriously, do you think any of the iPod drones care that the "cool company" is tracking their musical habits? "As if!!" (blond girl continues on bobbing her head to the iPod, roller blading down the Venice beach boardwalk chewing on her bubble gum....)
Even worse, your boss will probably get a report emailed to him that you got upset after he talked to you. Then you get to have a meeting with him and/or the corporate therapist about your anger issues.
Another alternative would be that the computer orders the corporate nurse to your cubicle to administer some sedatives to the frustrated user. "Time for you to calm down Mr. Anderson."
Ooo...wait, what if you pretended to have massive back pain? Would the nurse bring you some free Vicodin or Percocet? Hmmm...maybe this isn't such a bad idea afterall!
The sick thing would be that the end result is that we would all have to learn to hide our emotions. Keep them nice and bottled up. Talk about an increased potential for someone going postal...
How frustrating would it be if the computer tried to calm you down after it totally fucked some of your work up? If anything, this would only piss people off even more.
"...the ACLU and their pet media outlets will drag out the same tired old arguments..."
Actually it was Rush Limbaugh that killed the project. Him, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity were outraged that the liberals wanted to use this new technology to fight the terrorists, which Rush, Sean & Bill were secretly aiding through covert operations behind 12-inch thick concrete walls. They couldn't risk the liberals gaining evidence of such activity, so they killed the project.
My sources are as valid as yours. Notice how you and I BOTH didn't link to any sources? Could it be that we are both bullshitting?
"the little pieces of each "saccade" of the mouse... after
all that is what the human brain does... it pieces all our
shaky random movements together into a steady picture of the
world... any ideas?"
Feel free to start a "hack" replicating the visual system of human brain. It's very, VERY complex at a multitude of layers. Good luck! DARPA I'm sure would be very interested if you pulled it off.
You too huh? I thought something was wrong with my browser. The text got warped under his pictures... and too think this guy can make a scanner from a mouse but can't make a normal web page is sweet irony.
...when you are pissed off and the computer mistakes your mood as excitedly happy...
"Please tell me the good news, because you seem so happy!!!"
Which, of course, only ends up pissing you off even more. Brilliant fucking idea. How about just trying to make sure the computer doesn't piss you off by makeing them work better?
"The fact is that humans, even with all our pollution, can't put a dent in our planets ecosystem compared to the power of one rhylothetic (sp?) volcanic eruption."
That's a nice little myth you are creating there.
First of all, there is no such type of volcanic eruption termed "rhylothetic" (bad spelling nor otherwise). What in God's name are you doing, making up words?
Your choices are: Strombolian, Vulcanian, Vesuvian, Peléan, Hawaiian, Phreatic, and the most powerful, Plinian.
So, maybe your are right. There is no way human pollution can put a dent into the ecosystem the way a rhylothetic eruption can, because there is no such thing as a rhylothetic eruption!
We'll let the rest wonder about the validity of your other fantasy conclusions...
"Except that hurricanes spread the heat from the equatorial regoins toward the polar regoins."
Hurricanes only transport a fraction of heat northwards compared to the Ocean currents, and hardly ever do hurricanes reach the polar regions. The Ocean currents are the work horses of heat transport and do so in both directions; Cool water from the polar regions sinks and moves south; Warm water on the upper layers from the equitorial regions moves north.
It is this process that functions as the global heat pump/exchange. Hurricanes seem to function a little like a release valve when the Ocean currents can't transport enough energy up north, they convert the heat into kinetic energy (big waves, big winds, evaporation of water).
Tamporing with the hurricanes would stop the release valve which would have very unpredictable consequences for the global heat exchange. It's a bad idea. Next thing you know we'll end up with a Global Superstorm like in the movie The Day After Tomorrow. No thanks.
"Postpone the north korea strike next month, we have a big patch cycle."
LOL! Yeah, it's scary they're running IIS, just look at the site - it's down hard. Why in the world would they have the error page display all this information to the public? It's the military for cryin' out loud. Is that strange or just SOP for our bloated, unconcerned for infosec, military? Whaddya think?
A) be completely down and B) be displaying this kind of information:
Could not find the included template news/qry_GetSpotlightPicture.cfm. Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (e.g. TEMPLATE="/mypath/index.cfm") with CFINCLUDE then you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Using relative paths (e.g. TEMPLATE="index.cfm" or TEMPLATE="../index.cfm") does not require the creation of any special mappings. It is therefore recommended that you use relative paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible.

I was reading this article at InfoWars.com and clicked on the NORTHCOM link and this came up. Seems a bit peculiar for the timing considering the article, don't it?
My tinfoil hat is firmly attached to my head. But seriously, I've never seen this kind of message being displayed listing all it's file structures, etc... or am I wacked?

Don't forget Arizona. Right now we are in the same timezone as California. Then in the winter we are in the same timezone as Colorado.
I'm used to it now - but it's completely ridiculous - my company is national and people call me at 8:00am and ask me, "Sorry I did wake you? I forget what time zone you're in..."
Slashdot Mirror
Who the hell modded parent -Offtopic? There are like 30 posts above this one on this very topic, so why single this one out? Wasted Mod, dude.
MOD+ parent UP! That is a great quick-n-dirty photoshop comrade.
I think your name BushCheney08 might be a factor in the negative vibes you got to your comment. Just a thought...
Bad apple! Bad apple!

A video game that simulates making a video game and you compete with others to make the dopest video game inside the video game. Wait...
...that most Slashdot readers learned to write "interactively" growing up?
Proof is in the pudding.
And "to think" a slashdot reader would miss the sarcasm of my post...impossible!
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking:
"Hmmm...I wonder where all that lightning could be coming from..."
Just a year ago Bush was going all over the country exclaiming "Frivolous lawsuits are bad!!"
Now he signs a law that allows potentially millions of new frivolous lawsuits to begin getting filed?

Are we sure they aren't using this to torture detainees at Guantanamo?
