...that old people aren't given as much credit as they should be. My dad is 54. He bought a computer off HSN or something like that where it's incredibly overpriced for what you actually get. Anyways, I was showing him how to use it, and told him to double click his browser icon. He gave me this look like I'd asked him to floss his nose with a cat.
However, though his lack of knowledge does cause him to ask me questions from time to time about the simple stuff, it sure as hell didn't stop him from finding more porn than I've ever found on the internet. And that's saying something.
You mean I sat up all night trying to decode those messages for nothing? Man. I was hoping it would open a portal to hell and kill all stupid people at each of point on that map or something like that.
I thought the whole "This must be a terrorist attack" angle that I saw on various sites was hilarious, especially since there haven't been any terrorist attacks in this country in almost five years.
Can a website which unintentionally invokes fear in the stupid be labelled as a terrorist attack in itself?
I thought that whole "Take stuff from the office" thing was just a joke they did on the Simpsons to make fun of the dot bomb guys. I had no idea that was a reality. Kind of makes me wish I had been able to work for one of those companies for a month or two. I'd have taken a couple buddies with me, pulled up some U-Hauls and just robbed the place blind.
There is a protocol which involves searching all of the bags by hand (which is only used in the case an X Ray machine goes down), but it requires permission from the airline manager.
Don't know about you, but I might like to see a movie where Jesus fights thousands of cloned Kung Fu Romans. He kicks all of their asses, and then at the end, when he thinks he's won, the last one sneaks up behind him, grabs him, and they nail him up. Or at least that should've been how Passion of the Christ ended.
I don't have any young children of my own, but I was once a young child myself, so I can tell you that this is absolutely necessary. I had a Ninja Turtles tape that I watched over and over again. So much so that I could recite the script if I wanted too. Of course, I don't even remember what it was about, but still. The point is that what the guy above me is saying is entirely true.
So why pay money to view something only once?
I can see it now that this sounds like the plot for a Sci Fi movie. Guy inserts code into Myspace. Myspace then becomes conscious and starts rampaging across the internet, trying to get people to be its friends. If they don't, it bombards them with pictures of slashed wrists.
Then some B movie actors like Gary Busey and John Rhys Davies have to "go into the internet" using some kind of virtual reality rig and kill Myspace.
I've already pitched the idea. It'll be debuting next year.
No, no. That's not the same thing. Those dinosaurs are the aliens. The guy you responded to meant there are dinosaurs here who go on a rampage. Then aliens who are not dinosaurs come down and they decide to have a kill a thon.
If they could get some decent effects going, I think this concept could be the only one SciFi could produce that wouldn't completely suck.
Of course, they'd likely just mess it up anyways.

I think I'd have done exactly that from my phone and just went and wandered around for an hour.

Someone hasn't read the thread very closely then...
I think it's worth investigating.

No, but they did invent the question mark. They then regretted that decision.

Good to see subtlty still has a place in the world.
It's frickin freezing in here, Mr. Bigglesworth.
The title is RPGs in the Real World. I thought the real world WAS an RPG where you are your character and you only get to play it once.
And also, it's much cheaper to abort a piece of code and start over.
I'm already working on doing it with the Matrix and its sequels. ...I think it's time for me to get out of the house...

It may be from MTV, but it is true.
Very much so, sir. And more buoyant than ever.
