Good God! Have they come to their senses at last? FINALLY they put million-dollar computer graphics to some real use! Anymore lame-ass toys and fish and fuzzy monsters and I'd have killed someone.
Educated masses are alot harder to control than uneducated masses are
'I pledge allegiance... to the flag...'
Do you know what it means to pledge allegiance? We're all trained to simply say it and not to think about it, aren't we? You don't actually think the time teachers spent demanding your absolute obedience in school was intended to encourage intelligence and thought, do you? Does the drastic drop in a person's learning rate after going through the school system mean that little? Just watch and think for more than two seconds and it's pretty obvious that the school system basically exists to ensure that you believe what the government and authority says. Just look: kids would actually be thinking for themselves if they were allowed out of their cages. In a government-controlled 'learning' system, you're not going to learn anything the government doesn't want you to believe. Simple.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse.
So these two retards walk into a bar. Retard #1 says 'I am hating anyone who doesn't want to kill people! And people who don't want to mutilate what's left of the world! Corpses are beautiful! Death is bliss! Pain is necessary! People who don't like killing and torture are dumb! And stupid! And dumb! American Nazis unite!'
Retard #2 takes out a gun and points it at the bartender. 'I'm gonna kill you cause that's what patriots have to do. You have to destroy! and kill! because it's right and we're the superior race! Now you have to die! Oh and if you ask why I'm doing this, I'm just going to quote Retard #1'
The study shows the Earth is getting 10% dimmer. That seems pretty straightforward to me. Not much room for a world-wide government/scientist/corporation conspiracy as far as I can tell.
alien autopsies, Area 51 in the Nevada desert as alien storage quarters, the "non-landings" on the Moon, UFO's, and alien kidnappings
You forgot 'the discovery of Antarctica' and 'satellite pictures of a round Earth'.
an opportunity to teach factual science and astronomy in the context of sensationalistic psuedo-science
Going to have to do better than that. That's the exact same excuse used by everyone Edna is rebelling against. Trying to make everything into pseudo-science and expecting people to take you seriously just doesn't work. Maybe a century ago, you could do that and get somewhere with it, but these days you can't get off just making empty claims that everyone's conspiring and planning to take over the world by stating the painfully obvious.
Fortunately, the FBI is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to buy entertainment systems for all their agents. Police are working round the clock to beat the game and defeat this criminal, the Bush administration is reinstating the draft to illuminate the threat, the government is commissioning programmers to build a ten-story Gameshark, and military units are already being convicted of abusing NPCs
Actually, yeah, only an idiot would think they're *all* suicide bombers, thus confusing the "who's in the right?" question all the more. Of course it's most likely that we had a lot of bloodthirsty murderers on our side, and just as many on their side, while those with an ounce of intelligence are just tagging along for the torture and death. What fun.
Skeptics are taking over the WORLD! People who fear scam-producing companies are GOING TO KILL US ALL!! The Matrix has you! Don't trust anyone who doesn't bend over and take it from scandalous corporations! If they screwed you a million times, they NEVER do it again! You must trust them and believe everything you hear! Skeptics and people capable of learning ARE GOING TO DESTROY THE WORLD!
Ah, that's nothing, a report was released on, literally, thousands of Taliban prisoners being slaughtered and tortured.
It's hard to choose sides though, since most of these people were zealots and suicide bombers who had collectively killed as many soldiers as soldiers killed them. It's basically our atrocious Nazi-based American government against mass-murderers.
I really haven't time to deal with someone who's bent over and taken it where the professor put it. I've got a job to get back to. Go shovel someone's driveway or something.
Ah, it's not nearly as bad as a deadbeat halfwit journalist screaming for attention by saying 'Look! Evil! This is a freedom so it's evil! Somebody pay attention to me!...Anyone?'
Yeah, those damn companies. Bad bad bad! You think you can hide these inexistent flaws? These null security holes!? You think you can keep the public from these VULNERABILITIES that... we haven't found yet?! I say no! WRONG!
YOU will pay for your treacherous hiding of non-existing security holes. Just picture it: Some day, a non-existent hacker will get on his non-existent computer and create the ultimate blank computer virus and you'll see! Oh-hohoho... THEN it'll all come crashing down. You know it'll happen!
I'm going to go use Windows, which I KNOW has too many security flaws to count, and I KNOW will fail me at the drop of a hat. Go back to where you came from because I know I'm using a product that has REAL flaws. Bah!
Well obviously game programming requires a sick level of math, but if you're not planning to program games or complex graphics, you'll just be wasting your time learning it in college.
In fact most of the info you'd need for any type of programming is available in the internet. You won't get a degree that way but it's nearly instantaneous and won't cost you several thousand dollars.
Probably true. I had Comcast before moving and they were the most competent utility I had. There's not much a company can do when lawsuit sharks are breathing down their necks. Very nice article.
Slashdot Mirror
Ironic. Everyone else gets a +5 for that.
In a decaying society, you are responsible for everyone else's actions.
Fixt
Screw PETA, kids avoid getting blown up while playing soccer etc beacuse of stuff like this
Note how that always comes from people who would just as easily use those kids as mine detectors.
So once we're finished digging them out of hillsides and buildings, we'll have a Hell of a transportation system.
The President doesn't need a cellphone. You think he's concerned with the PUBLIC's safety? Heh.

the Internet has come to resemble a pleasant, well-policed concentration camp.
Fixt.

Yeah, I can picture it: They'd have an article on how Pittsburgh is the hiding place of Bin Laden, and an international stash of nuclear weapons.
Yeah, those damn companies. Bad bad bad! You think you can hide these inexistent flaws? These null security holes!? You think you can keep the public from these VULNERABILITIES that... we haven't found yet?! I say no! WRONG!

Now the gun blows up in your hand. Who's at fault?
It's mostly the gun-holder's fault for buying a shitty gun.
Maybe this'll knock some sense into him.
Christ, you know the world is doomed when your government deploys Nazi-based information control and can't even do THAT right.
Probably true. I had Comcast before moving and they were the most competent utility I had. There's not much a company can do when lawsuit sharks are breathing down their necks. Very nice article.
