And when the aliens show up 100K years from now the'll see the layer of radioactive waste and think we destroyed ourselves in a nuclear war. Never will they know that it was some enviro-terrorist with a WMD (weapon of mass disapearance) really did it.
Like you show above, we can make scientific guesses about the far past, but there still guesses.
1. Predators hunt prey, while an individual, such as yourself may be able to hide, its not a long term survival plan. 2. They only need enough guns to shoot people in the subway, unarmed at that. Guns are a tool, I don't see mankind putting down there tools any time soon. 3. Short is the time it takes the freedom fighters to become the oppressors, the cycle continues on. If we rid the world of freedom, will that also rid the world of evil?
man is the only animal species that actually destroys ecosystems and causes the extincion of other species that are not in his food chain. We are also the only species that is incapable of existing in an ecological balance. We have an inordinate amount of impact on the planet. Elk and bacteria haven't yet industrialized the production of resources (and the elimination of its byproducts), as far as I know.
Bacteria have chaged the face of the globe and have caused mass extinctions. See Oxygen Catastrophe for more information.
Cant seem to find it on Google now, but there was a study done not too long ago that shows that negative stimuli are remembered far powerfully then positive experiences by the mind. As the pain went up, the brain used more resources to remember it. Pain rewrites the brain.
Just think of it in terms of survival, whats more important to know, that teddy bears are soft or that knives are sharp? That kisses are nice or that fire will burn your ass?
The if the positive fades quickly we'll want to do it more often, the negative stays so we don't.
And the sheep get ate, sound like a damn good reason to be a sheepdog or a wolf.
BTW your sig' is nonsensical. Ask the cops not to bring there rifles, shotguns, pistols, batons, pepper spray, tasers, or stun guns and you will figure out quickly that they don't make very good protectors. Technology, tacticts, and training are all necessary.
Not doing evil doesn't mean you have to let evil fuck you every chance it gets.
Problem is not everybody can be rich. Just like everybody can't be tall, theres always going to be a short group.
Wanting to be rich at all costs is where we get spammers and CEO's diving out of failed companies with there golden parachutes. I'll stay poor and content that I am not an asshat.
My parents did, needless to say, I'm not a picky eater and have a willingness to try new foods.
Hell, when I was younger all I wanted was the sugar and fat, vegatables, ick! Had it not been for the fact they pretty much forced me to to eat balanced meals and running around and playing tag, I'd be another obese American.
If you don't back up your data, you don't have your data.
This may help explain why.
Heat can never pass spontaneously from a colder to a hotter body. As a result of this fact, natural processes that involve energy transfer must have one direction, and all natural processes are irreversible. This law also predicts that the entropy of an isolated system always increases with time. Entropy is the measure of the disorder or randomness of energy and matter in a system. Because of the second law of thermodynamics both energy and matter in the Universe are becoming less useful as time goes on. Perfect order in the Universe occurred the instance after the Big Bang when energy and matter and all of the forces of the Universe were unified.
I was thinking on the exact opposite lines here...
If your the type of fool thats going to play it anyway, setup the game with its own XP account and launch it via run as, since im running XPpro I can deny the game access to almost everything on the system.
And this is almost exactly what happend with AMD, they sold there processors cheaper then they could make them. Before the Athlon (K7 generation) AMDs balance sheet was always in the red. The Intel pretty much fell flat on its face around the time the K8 (x64 gen) processors came out, and had to do some major revamping of the company interals. Intel is finally back in the game with a decent product line up, will they pull it off?
Why am I sticking with AMD for now?
I have already server room full of Opterons running 64-bit Linux and 64-bit Windows
- parts interchangablity.
- AMD has better 64 bit performance in our database benchmarks.
- Intel fux0rd and skipped on the IOMMU, have the fixed this with the Core processors?
- Hypertransport, filling up the system bus on a Core is not hard, Intel does plan on countering soon.
- AMD keeps processor sockets compatible much longer.
I've never jumped on a processor line when it first comes out, AMD or Intel, Errata get fixed, MainBoards tend to become more stable, avalibility is better, and prices are lower. In addition the weaknesses of the processor are known too, most information you get in the first few months is from paid reviewers, I like to get get my information from end users.
Wow, you just gave me one hell of an idea to sell the MPAA!
The 'MIDVD'. Following after Mission Impossible, once the DVD detects your running the Windows operating system it self destructs, ruining the DVD drive. Take that you damn PC operating pirates!
Microsoft has already set up a huge problem with keys. Single copy OEM editions of Windows require that the OEM tag is affixed to the outside of the computer. Great now the validation key is in plain site of anyone who wants to steal it. A pissed off employee could copy them all down and post them on a message board...
The local grocery store has registers that run windows (this already seems like a dumb idea), the CD key is stuck to them in view of the customer. Just whip out your cell phone cam, and you have another cd key.
What is the solution, I'm not sure, but I do have a theroretical idea, though I wouldn't do it because its probably not legal. Copy every cd key you see and post them to the internet. Make product activation such a huge problem that businesses look to other operating systems for relief.
I've upgraded the bios on a motherboard and have had WPA reactivation triggered, granted this MB had everything intergrated on it. Microsoft is following the game manufactures, inconveincing there legitimate users, and making a pirated product look better then there own.
Which would you rather use? A game that requires 15 to 20 seconds to validate that your cd is orginal, or a no-cd patch that opens instantly?
Which would you rather use? An operating system that shuts down if you swap out hardware, or a crack that allows you to swap out failed components?
I personally chose linux whenever possible. As long as you have your drivers and filesystem support compiled in your kernel, you could swap between Intel and AMD processor and the OS wouldn't give a damn.
I pray the cell phone companies do this, then a virus gets a few million of them at once. I don't know who would scream louder, the phones or the owners.
The hypocracy! Aren't these the same people yelling 'Global Economy' at the top of there lungs, and signing free trade agreements with every country that has cheap labor. I guess the world economy only counts if it give the U.S. and advantage.
Glad to know that your just as poor at predicting the future as TFA. Since it's predict the future day on/. I'll give it the shot.
1. "They" whoever they may be, decide that there are too many people and too few resources. 2. Initiate strike with an enginered virus, killing a large portion of humans on this planet. 3. Automate basic needs as much as possible, robotic farms, mining, and such. Eliminiate the need for a lower class as much as possible. Tons of now unused material is avaliable for recycling to build new smaller cities. 4. Keep whats left of the middle and higher class entertained and educated as much as possible, they breed below replacement rate. 5. Use satelites and global surveilence to monitor and bomb 'unauthorized' colonies of people out of existiance.
In this scenero you have a global dysutopia that can maintain a stable population and resource usage. Use nuclear to provide power. Generate any oil you need from biological sources.
People should not be afraid of their governments...
Wrong, you should be so terribly afraid of your goverment that your unwilling to give them any power without great thought of what the consiquences will be. Like the fear of rabid dogs, the first time they try to bite you, you terminate them.

and nobody ever WANTS to be a wolf.
Please explain? What intrinsic part of the human mind says 'I should not do evil things'.

Not suprising, about half the responces on the first page were about how bad IE (Internet Explorer) fucks things up!

" but IE6's implementation fucks up the..."

You won't die and the government isn't going to put the contents of your boring hard drive on the 11 o'clock news
It has happened in the past, and will continue to happen in the future. A little fear goes a long way, it keeps the sheep in line.

I can think of three good ones off the top of my head.
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
I pray the cell phone companies do this, then a virus gets a few million of them at once. I don't know who would scream louder, the phones or the owners.
No, 1900's are PCI-e 16X and start at $400.

(A few sandbags is probably acceptable)...
What, a few more spammers sounds like a better backstop.
What do you burn witches with, more witches!
