AFAIR when the borg first encounter a ship they scan all it's systems, transport borg to the ship to have a looksey around etc.. "assimilating" all this data. Then when they "communicate" with the species/vessle... they are able to use the language/mapping system etc that the crew would understand... Of course I'm just theorizing on how this happens.
I work in the tech support industry. The biggest problem is not the users that don't know what you are talking about (I've gotten very good at analogies) but when the "network/computer" admin calls in and can't do simple troubleshooting like reboot their router/computer, check cables to see if they are plugged in, see if there is dial tone on the phone line, give a correct error message... etc. Or they have no idea when you ask them some simple question concerning the computer/network like
Me: Are you using static IP's or are you setup to use DHCP?
How does a chemestry teacher teach kids not to make bombs. How does a physics teacher teach kids not to make projectile weapons. How does a music teacher teach kids not to make rap music.
If they are able to get internet, power, "e-commerce" etc... up and running then these "3rd world" nations will be able to start making money which will in turn open up jobs where people will have money to spend to buy and produce things like food and shelter or better tools to produce these things.
And what kind of shows do allow yourself to watch? Kids shows may be marketed towards toys and pop bands etc. But "adult" shows are marketed towards other things, they may be more subtle than on kids shows but they are there.. Remember when a show would have someone using a laptop, It was almost always a Apple but they would have tape over the Apple. Well these days they display the Apple. I've Also seen more and more stuff like Non-generic prop pop machines (Coke, Pepsi). Characters talking about/showing their cars (Lexus, Dodge Ram... etc). Don't even get me started on the History/Discovery/whatever educational channel because they are nothing but market driven shows as well.... It all boils down to let your kids be kids, let them watch some cartoons not 12 hours a day. sometimes people just want to watch something that has no value.... okay something of no value and is not the news.. they have the rest of their lives to be adults and to "do the right thing", and these will be the years that they will always look back upon, don't burn them out on being "little adults"...
But if you want to ban them from MTV go ahead, nothing but hip hop, ghetto banging bunch of CRAP anyway. (:-*humor*-:)
I think this is already copywrited by Bill Engvall.... "Here's your sign" does that ring a bell?

And we are supposed to have this take over our whole life right? We can't do anything but sit infront of the TV and watch for the Next "Hoe-down in Iraq with Wolf Blitzer?" Excuse us for doing what the Pres recomended ==> "GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE AS NORMAL!" Not everyone is going to let this crap in Iraq take over their life.
I think you might be pushing it with the honest politician. Cold fusion, room temperature superconductors and cloaking devices I can believe. Hell I'd believe that aliens have landed before I believe that there is an honest politician.
Another idea would be to have the EULA on a CD by itself and then lable the CD saying "This CD contains EULA information, IF this is being viewed by a retailer and the customer is returning the rest of the CD's unopened please accept the return. (Or something to that fashion. That would cut the crap right then and there.
I feel your pain brother. I long for the days of good old text based games. You actually had to think on them. Remember drawing your own maps, keeping log notes (Not of just save game codes). Typing in commands.... move forward, open inventory, use sword, eat spam health bar, attack lawyer, search body, take golden CD case. Games these days are nothing but eyecandy that require a $400 video card, $300 sound setup, P4/Athalon 1800+ processor, 256MB RAM minimum.
Wish they would have shown this with the CD-ROM drive in it and a PCI card..Looking at where the PCI slot on the back is and the CD-ROM slot is on the front it looks like any card you put in the expansion slot is gonna hit the CD-ROM drive.
Pretty much what they are worried about is if you download and play the old games, your taking time and money away from a new game that you would have to go out and buy, thus costing them money.

Sounds like you've been watching WarGames :)
There is no such thing as reverse discrimination. Either you are discriminated against or you are not.

The "admin": Uhm, what do you mean?
It was the Mayan calender that ends on Dec 12, 2012.
Sounds like a "Do as I say not as I do type of fella". Seems to be typical with those of "the church"
On top of this, Windows itself now handles zip files so even more newbs don't have to use either PKzip/Winzip.

Why stop at the ISP, why not go after the companies that the spammer is advertising for.
