Took me a while to figure out that in real football the optimal strategy wasn't having the quarterback run back about 40 yards then throw a hail mary(the actual best tactic in the original Tecmo bowl game)
You could also use the information to try to phish the users. "We noticed that your password is only x characters long, in order to increase security we are requiring passwords of at least x+y characters long, please click this link to reset your password"
Are they though? There are a lot of SF writers that get the details wrong but get the overall state of society right. Go read "Player Piano" and tell me that Vonnegut did not nail the current economy. A small number of automation engineers making tons of money? check. Society scrambling to find "make work" jobs for the masses that include the army and pointless infra projects? Double check. Now granted he got a lot of the technological details wrong(obligatory 1950s sf reference to caverns filled with vacuum tubes etc.), but his description of what society, especially American society, has become.
And yet, as we have seen time and time again, this is the only way to actually win a war with a fanatical enemy. Which is why we should never get involved in wars unless it's absolutely necessary for survival. The ONLY way to win a war against fanatics is to basically level their infrastructure(and yes civilians) to the point that continuing to fight is tantamount to suicide of the entire culture. The Japanese were suicidal religious fanatics that were only tamed once we destroyed enough of their country and killed enough of their citizens that they realized fighting will only result in the complete and utter annihilation of the Japanese people.
This is why we shouldn't get involved in wars were we aren't willing to completely level the enemy, including Dubya's little "war to avenge daddy" that is the root of this problem in the first place.
If such cognition wasn't necessary we wouldn't have evolved it. The brain is a massive energy sap, no hunter/gatherer would have been more evolutionary fit if they didn't use it to some sort of competitive advantage, so it stands to reason they used a lot of the same parts of the brain, just differently than how we use them today.
I do love how in the same breath you manage to portray yourself as a victim and shamed others for ostensibly doing so. But then again hypocrisy is pretty central to the modern Republican party.
HBAHAHAHAHA, fuck you are an idiot. Do you have ANY evidence besides "my ideology tells me this is true so it must be true" to indicate that he chose the theater because of their gun free policy? Did the shooter say so? Here's a hint fuckwad, no he didn't. He could have chose it because it offered the easiest backdoor to exit out of, he could have chose it because it was the easiest to case out. Here's another hint limpdick, I know you think because you have a gun you can go out and prove that you are a hero, but have you ever tried reaching for and then aiming a gun in a dark movie theatre? What do you think the odds of you actually hitting the gunman vs. another innocent bystander are? I know your gun helps you feel better about your micropenis, but they aren't magical crime-fighting devices. More innocents get killed by limp-dicked crusaders like yourself than they kill criminals.
This problem isn't limited to just South Korea, Japan this month Japan will start rolling out a similar system called My Number(and of course, this being Japan, it is associated with a cute character) Not sure why countries are so eager to give ID thieves a field day, but apparently they are. The elderly are especially vulnerable as they are the least likely to understand the new system and use the new technology and the most likely to fall prey to scams.
Did I say Christianity was any better? I don't care what the age of consent "laws" say, any civilized culture will not allow 9 year olds to be banged, especially by those who are considered "holy". But then again, sky friends and child molestation seem to go hand in hand.
I actually lived near a place called "Woodcock Drive" whose connecting roads all had female names, so you would say "Turn onto Woodcock then left on to Jennifer"....
Also, seriously slashdot? An n with a tilde becomes "Ãf±"(which is A~+- as 2 characters, apparently the fuckitude of/. has infinite recursion of shittiness)?(ironically the A in that does have a tilde on it) I guess the/. version of what I was trying to say was "Sen~or Spielbergo". I leave moving the tilde to the top of the n as an exercise for the reader.
Although oddly enough they seem to retain most of their value(probably as collectors items).... My friend and I decided one day we were going to search the used game stores in Tokyo's Akihabara district to find a Pippin, and if it was affordable buy one. We eventually did find one, but it was 70,000 yen(about $800 or so back then, about $600 now), Needless to say we didn't buy it.
Yes but an important difference between MH 370 and Helios was that with Helios the autopilot kept the plane on it's chartered course(it ran out of fuel circling the Athens airport). MH 370 not only diverted course, it diverted in a very peculiar fashion, seeming aimed to keep out of reach of radar. That hardly seems like it was done accidentally, and I doubt the autopilot would have picked such a course if the pilots were incapacitated.
Eh, Steve wasn't so much an innovator as a man with implacable tastes who really knew how to get his way. THAT is really what led Apple down the path to where it is today. Steve would have never ever accepted something as buggy as OS X right now without screaming at people and ripping their heads off. Tim Cook just seems to think that software quality really isn't that important.

I can't believe "5309" isn't in the top 10, don't people love Jenny anymore?

This is really big news, 13 million Mac users were gullible enough to buy MacKeeper!

Yup, anyone that believes in Magical Sky Friends is capable of this

So not fucking children is considered "prudish"? Hey, whatever the sky friend says goes right?

He also banged 9 year olds. 9 year olds dude.
Here I thought that I accidentally called a really polite phone sex operator.
Hey, Droppo may be lazy but he is honest!

So Spielberg also was non-union? I guess him and Señor Spielbergo have much more in common than I previously thought.

Did they have Gil Gerrard ejaculate in it?
Bonus points if you get the reference.
