But some never learn and remain selfish, egotistical bastards. We call those people "sociopaths" (e.g. criminals and some politicans). Having said that, I agree in that we should try to teach them to be good, but many are just not willing or don't care to learn. That's why they are criminals.
Have you ever met a sociopath? Regardless of caring to be 'good' or not. Most do not have the ability to make that distinction. Aside from their own pain they have no ability for compassion or caring for others. I am convinced that these particular people cannot be fixed.
While being a sociopath may or may not be their fault. Learning has very little to do with it. They can hardly be compared to children even at the most base level. At most these people can try to go through the motions, but do you want to be around any of them when they 'slip'?
I was waiting for these shitbats to settle up and come to a conclusion to 'agree to disagree', but no such luck.
I'll toss my 2 cents in on another subject for The Fanta Menance.
His sig. --Even if a god did exist, why the fsck should I worship it?
Well it's like this Menace.
Let's say a god exists. Somehow. Someway humanity has finally discovered that God/god/gods exist.
If they do exist, based on the majority of myth and religious text. This god probably created the world, the universe, and pretty much has the gist of the afterlife.
Any other trappings of worship aside, it would be pretty damn smart to be appreciative to the being that created the universe so your smarmy ass could exist in this first place! And don't give me any of that existential 'Do I really exist?' bullshit, since you've already implied by your sig that a god would be proved to exist!
Are you also this piss poor and unappreciative of other people that helped create you, like . . your parents?
America is what we make of it. Pay attention to something that resembles balanced news. Learn. Grow. Vote. and Work.
Games based on movies SUCK. The inverse is also true.
Gannoc said- With the grand exception of the old Lucasarts games, X-Wing* and the indiana jones SCUMM adventures.
Hit the nail on the head. Most beginning Star Wars games tapped into every fan's desire to be the X-wing pilot or fight as the Jedi Master. A game that is based on a cult following or cinematic phenomenon is somthing that will make money. A game based on something we already want is going to work and have a better chance at good gameplay!
Creating Game X from recent Movie X is crap. Hitting the cult demographic is very chancy and small. Take the time to develop the game after the fan base has developed. And no. Waiting a couple months afterwards as the flash-in-pan hype reaches a head doesn't work. AND HERE'S THE MESSAGE FOR THE GAME INDUSTRY: IF THERE ISN'T A GOOD FAN BASE, DON'T TRY TO DEVELOP A QUICK CRAP GAME!!
Imagine how much cooler the game for any Lord of the Rings chapter would have been if the game was released a year after the movie. Plus there wouldn't be any prehype bulls!!t that would ruin the movie.
People are more than just their job. There are many aspects to anyone. Political candidates need to emphasize those in order show that they identify with their constituents.
But don't get me wrong, politicos also BS and kiss a$$, but would you vote for someone who is a total and complete a$$hole?
According to Michael Bellesiles, and even some of my American history profs.
The ownership of guns during the revolution is a misnomer. Only the gentry class and frontiersman owned weapons for status or utility. The average person did not own a weapon. They were supplied by the local militia amories and collected at the end of the American Revolutionary war.
We started owning guns at the end of the US Civil War when the army decided to let the soldiers take their weapons home and allow them to buy more personal weapons. Plus weapons were much less expensive and easier to manufacture.
This does lead one to believe that our view of the 2nd amendment has changed, but let's not forget when it started.
The majority of gun laws are BS. What isn't BS is that people are allowing their children access to guns without any supervision.
Most of the countries that have highly restrictive guns laws also live in smaller countries. Their armed forces are taken directly out of the population as part of each citizens duty. In the US we have career soliders and officers. I'm glad every day we have our armed forces, but I'm not too willing to allow them to have all the weapon control. Not like it makes much difference, one M1 Abrams tank will do more damage to me than a 12 guage shotgun will do to it.
okay I'm now babbling, so I'll stop.
So people don't think I'm completely full of s**t, here Bellesiles's book title
Arming America :
The Origins of a National Gun Culture
Michael A. Bellesiles
True, and that was a HUGE abuse of FBI powers, but IIRC that was under J. Edgar's term. He had all sorts of hidden agendas. C'mon this is a guy that tapped Frank Sinatra for little mob nuggets.
If you are somewhat an optimist, you might believe that Director Freeh might not have alot of hidden agendas. The story goes that Edgar kept tabs on everyone to keep himself in power. That really isn't a problem now, since the Director's position is now more dynamic. But hey, this would be IF you are an optimist.
Hell no! It's the unfortunate truth. Of course, we are jaded by the blasphemy that is Episode I, but I'm sure we'll all suck it up and go to see Episode II (Whatever the heck they call it) just not on opening day.
WARNING: A SOAP BOX MOMENT!
I VOW to not see it on opening day. And I bet that I won't be able to escape the d*mn TACO BELL/PEPSI/KFC advertisments that spoil the movie 2 months before it releases or the infinite spoilers that will occur on Slashdot/User Friendly/kuro5in/the entire freakin' world/MSN.
That's actually what killed Episode I. I knew the storyline and characters before the movie even happened. A $6.50 later, I filled in the small gaps.
Well here's another $6.50 (oops I'm sorry $7.50 now) down the drain.
Came up with this same concept about 10 years ago. Which can work (contrary to certain engineering professors at the time!) Be able to sample the digital signal from the brain when it fires for a particular muscle group. Then have a processor which translates the biological signal to a digital one. The Digital signal activates miniturized servos or the material(I disremember its name) which contracts when given an eletrical impulse. There is also a blackish subtance which also expands and contracts when in contact with high/low pH solutions.
There were a couple hurdles (I'm sure there are plenty more.) that hinder this implementation. The brain fires a signal with different intensitie s for different degrees of tension between motor groups and even opposing muscles of any given limb. The brain also fires signals at different frequencies each time (is it analog isn't it?). Plus finding the correct materials and design for a prosthetic limb(another entire discussion). Any limb needs to be attached to more than the 'stump' in order to function and not rip off at the attachment point. How does one do all this? Dunno.

Actually, there are Otaku in the US. They exist, and they are scary. Some are hentai/perverts, and some are just radically obsessed with whatever fan topic(eg. anime). Take a geek and crank up the power and obesessiveness times 10.
Otaku is a very interesting linguistic progression. Otaku literaly is someone else's home. Then Otaku also meant someone who lingers at home and is gloomy. It has become a synonym for obsessed fans,since people who stay at home and obsess about something were always considered gloomy compared to normal people.
The frame rate was painfully slow and evil. Just to be safe. I wouldn't go below 33Mhz. for any Marathon!
I didn't know what I was missing until I tried the Trilogy pack on my 6400 Performa/ 180 Mhz.

OK. Now that somebody brought this up, I'm going to do a plug.
In addition to watching all these cool anime titles, (Which BTW has been a great listing!) there are also huge anime conventions which give a great opportunity to see various current and past anime [usually subbed] and sometimes a premier or two.
I'm on the East coast, so there's quite a few conventions (more on the West Coast probably), but specifically I goto the one that's now in Baltimore - OTAKON http://www.otakon.com
Lots of anime. Big dealer's room. Some past premiers - "Tenchi Muyo - The Movie" "Cowboy BeBob" "Eva - Death and Rebirth" "Eva - End of Eva"
I had a chance to see some good Japanese and American Guests. I talked to Shoji Kawamori, he was very patient when I spoke to him in Japanese. A nice guy and obviously a really good Mecha designer. Couldn't really ask any deep questions, since my Japanese isn't that good. His English was much better than my Japanese.
Talked with Yoko Kanno. She's a really cute(Did I mention cute) and small Japanese woman who kicks serious ass on the piano, and has a huge penchant for playing and listening to jazz.
I think the web site points out who the guests are going to be this year.
Any convention is really a good way to find out about anime, and talk with knowledgeable people in the industry and in anime fandom.
Other big conventions on the East Coast I think are Anime Expo, Anime Central and Anime Weekend Atlanta
he who controls the grits, controls the universe. the hot grits must flow... into my pants. thank you.
now you're really annoying me man. I've got the grits water of death, and I'm ready to pour it on a grits growing patch, you know what that means, no more grits.
unless you supply me with your nubile daughter, of course
you mean a nubile naked and petrified Natalie Portman right!? Geez! Doesn't anyone troll with consistancy anymore! Heh! Back in my day trolls posted early, often, and with consistancy *cough* *gag* *wheeze* . . .
then again, in my day we prefered our women naked and UNpetrified
If they can incorporate an iron/polymer materials at a molecular level to ceramics, maybe we could finally make some more commerically productive uses of the Meiser effect through incorporation of some more rare magnetic materials.
Finally, I could live in a house that floats a foot or two off the ground! (Just don't flush the toilet or turn on any lights. )
Except by current technology, I'd only need about 5000 gal of liquid nitrogen to cool down the superconducting material.
Y'know all this talk about the Simpson movie reminds me of the episode for the Radioactive Man movie where the comic store guy logs onto the usenet address:
alt.nerd.obsessive
Sound a little familiar.
Don't get me wrong. I love the Simpsons, and have religiously watched every episode except for the last three new ones.(Fsck!!)
But whoever wrote that Radioactive Man episode described us to a T.
As for the movie, with good writers it would be a great opportunity to end the series and pass the torch to Futurerama via a Generations-eqsue crossover. Worse things have happened.
Or just make it like Seinfeld and bring back every single guest voice in the history of the Simpsons.
Nope. If the library issues cards with mag stripes or barcodes, the database exists already. If not, all you need is the short list of allowed access level codes.
I used to work at a school district that did web filtering using both Surfwatch and filtering via a proxy server.
The student and teachers were extremely upset because Surfwatch did not allow for different levels of authority. Some legitimate sites were blocked and some porn sites still got through. The big problem is you do need a large database with ALL the blocked sites or it will not work properly and just base filtering from keywords. The problem with maintaining a DB of this size is comparable to maintaining one for the entire Internet. It changes way too rapidly, and noone wants to spend the time to find every objectionable web site and put it into a DB.
If there was a way to have every web site post a degree rating with its site, then different level card access might work.
When I had to do any repairs in the my school district's high school lab, I turned off all the proxy filtering. Then an attendent was there to watch the kids. Of course, it would have helped if the attendent knew a little more about computers.
You ever notice we are revisiting the same battles with the right-wing time and again?
First it was book banning, then banning records, tapes, CDs and RPGs. Now it's the web. Same S**t different tech.
I'll agree the US moral compass is waaayyyy off, but limiting information is detrimental. Just make sure school librarians aren't pushing something like- 'The Naked Lunch' on my kid and I'll make sure my kid has some resemblance to a moral upbringing.
Actually had a chance to be in Punxsutawney a couple of years ago. Got there with a college friend just in time.
Hundreds of drunk or semi-sober people standing in sub-zero temps on a hill next to Gobbler's Knob (cackle,cackle) while the dear rodent,'Phil', gets yanked out from this stump, and is shown to the world like Simba from the pridelands.
Next, when 'Phil' is sufficiently scared out of his wits, two guys in top hats hold up 'Phil' to their ears and unfurl a scroll. The answer is given, and everyone boos or cheers based on the result.
Afterwards, some people leave and other stick around to have their picture taken with the now terrified 'Phil'. Local TV affiliates are there, choppers and planes fly overhead to get a view, and enough local cops are on the scene to comprise a policeman's ball. Cops, you say? Yes, Cops to wrangle the exodus of people from the afore mentioned freezing hill. Not to mention to help clean up the field that has been strewn with garbage, beer cans, beer bottles, empty 40's, and 2 liters filled with (you guessed it) beer. Apparently the majority of masses camp there the previous night and drink heavily.
It's all part of this strange German tradition that (while being fun) strangely deviates from the famous Bill Murry movie. No deja vu was experienced or mentioned by the staggering attendees, nor any wise homespun insights on life aside from remembering never to travel at 3:00AM to a freezing hill for seeing a traditional rodent on display unless you REALLY want to.
So enjoy today in your nice warm office, cube, house or where ever else you read Slashdot and thank the deity of your choice that you are not 'Phil'
