They won't have to flip the switch. The human gatekeepers will quickly get complacent - when's the last time you actually read the T&C's before clicking "Continue"? - and pretty soon, the difference between life and death for some poor brown kid with a rock will be Homer's nodding-bird desk toy.
They vanished in 15.04, and the world wept at their departure. ...OK, I wept. ...OK, I shouted at the screen, spent too long searching for it as a bug, eventually found it was a "feature", then shouted at the screen some more.
So - just to make sure I understand you correctly - your complaint about the map is that it's not realistic enough (because it scrolls) and at the same time, it's too realistic (because it's opaque)?
Ok, then put it another way:
Why do you deserve to have the song for free?
(Just to be clear on my general position -
RIAA = bad, but paying people for their work = good, though I'm not getting into a row about relative revenue-pie-slice sizes)
Yes, he did - as well as Dexter's Laboratory, and Powerpuff Girls. But Samurai Jack remains the only cartoon series I ever saw that I could call beautiful. He is, IMO, the Great Western Animator of this generation. Someone please put him and Brad Bird on a project together, and do it now.
You'll also be pleased to hear that according to Wikipedia, "He has also expressed his desire to bring an animated Samurai Jack film to the big screen."
While I still think that the TV Licence is a great way to pay for my TV, and can often produce splendid telly (Life In The Undergrowth, The Day Today, Doctor Who, What The Victorians Did For Us to name but a few), the dragging down of the once-great Corporation to the level of the lowest commercial channels (yes, Reality TV - I'm also talking about you) brings a mournful tear to my eye.
Britain used to make really good documentary shows, too - Dispatches, anyone? Q.E.D.? Channel 4's Equinox, I seem to recall, could also be counted on for a refreshing brain-jiggle. You wouldn't catch 'em making anything like that anymore, of course - not when there's slaggy morons to build into role models.
And if they produce a "Deal Or No Deal"-aping enormobrowed-yahoos-receive-unearned-prizes celebration of dimwittedness, I'm fairly certain my head will explode.

"What do you do with the prize tickets?"
"Trade them in for prizes that aren't worth nearly as much as you paid to play the game."
I still remember the day there was a series of unrelated signal failures and train breakdowns on the Underground (far more so than usual), causing all sorts of palaver for commuters, last summer (IIRC). The Standard's front page coverage used the word "terror" no fewer than four times in the opening two paragraphs, as well as one in the headline.
Gawd bless 'em... A London newspaper, whose correspondents clearly all hate living in London.
Because for most people, the state of the world is what their news outlets say it is, and the change from, "Republican senator caught trawling for high-school cock," to, "Democrat senator caught trawling for high-school cock," especially as election-time approaches, is a significant one.

I'm assuming it'll mostly be union organisers.
Isn't this similar to Carl Sagan's Contact, with its image of a circle embedded in the digits of pi?

Fair point - it is indeed distractingly inconsistent.

...the PC crowd must be on holiday or something.
Which is why he built it for the PS3! Badum-tsh!
I second "Grinny," and also the sequel, "You Remember Me". Also, "Z for Zachariah", although that might go in the "Young teen" section.

We've just found Popcap's next hit game...
He needs the astronaut's best friend - the inanimate carbon rod!
But still not as bad as artificially screwing with electricity prices by blacking out large parts of California.

Or just watch the movie Pierrepoint.
"Criminals are a gravity-fearing and downward-looking lot. I must become a creature of the ceiling. I shall become a gecko."
"Has," should be, "as". Once you change that, the sentence makes sense.
No, it was deliberate - with the Labour Party devolving the way it is, Tony truly is the BeastMaster.
