As a mechanism in the short term, I'm sure it does. But society exists for a reason, does it not? Without society, we'd have very little to feed our 6 Billion+ population.
I'm sorry. But love works a helluva lot better, the way our minds work.
I was in Bio the other day, and a friend of mine whispered, "If we die, we stop oxidizing glucose to CO2 for the plants...and then they can't photosynthesize, and they die. And then we win!"
Don't something like 80% of people think they are of above average intelligence?
Did you know that 50% of the population is below average?
But all kidding aside, it's really scary to consider that a majority of the population could, statistically, be below average intelligence, with a minority of extremely smart people holding up the line on the opposite side.
You say all that about love as if it were a bad thing. Love has the ultimate cause of keeping the species going, but it's not like that's a bad thing...unless you see it as a bad thing. In which case, there are irreconcilable differences between your point of view and mine. And if others can capitalize on it, so what? They just provide more ways to express love, which means more gene-swapping and more continuation. I'm sorry if your feelings are hurt by being "immune" to love, but...if that's the case, then why does it hurt? And as for the gaping void in my life, I won't admit I have one, because I don't necessarily admit that life is anything but a purposeless hole for energy to sink into anyway. That's like saying I have a perforation in my hole.
Are you talking about vigilante cybersecurity? While arguably effective, it tends to get people in trouble (registration required...article now a premium). As a summary, in his spare time, some guy went after a group of Chinese hackers code-named Titan Rain who were stealing government data. He handed information off to the Feds, and was consequently fired from his high-profile security job and even placed under suspicion of aiding Titan Rain by...you guessed it, the Federal Government.
Don't get me wrong...I'm all for vigilantism. But I'm rather surprised at this/. article's incredulous tone in the face of the US's history.
I believe the solar sail project, Cosmos 1, was also launched from an ICBM, which promptly failed. Who okayed an intercontinental ballistic missile for exiting orbit, anyhow?
You know...I just realized something. But that's for afterwards. The first thing I realized was that you spelled "random" wrong. Then I realized you spelled "realized" with an "s."

A 101% turnout.
Yes, I am.
But the tentacle-monster scene is better.
I keep my skills fresh by taking two points and then finding the answer we all know and love with the point-slope form!
a^2 + b^2 = c^2!

Yeah, I don't get it either.
But all kidding aside, it's really scary to consider that a majority of the population could, statistically, be below average intelligence, with a minority of extremely smart people holding up the line on the opposite side.
I'm just happy I can forlumate words correctly.

You sir, are depriving me of mod points. I demand recompense.

I won't buy it until it can recharge ME wirelessly. Then I can stop doing useless activities like eating, and spend more time in front of my monitor.
And vomit-inducing

I prefer Obligatory Reference to Breasts, or ORB.
Thankfully, the developer's girlfriend has managed a GUI project for the Web 3.11's complicated interface. It's called "Internet Bob"
I must have missed something...when did they change their motto to "Vanquish evil"?
I'm sorry, I don't read articles. All I do is make inane posts.
Think of it this way - if Bungie wasn't owned by Microsoft, would they be putting out a Halo movie now?
No.
If I hadn't replied already, I'd mod you insightful.
What do you drive, a Hummer? I feel for you, bro. Six miles on the gallon? Like hell. More like six miles on the tank, with a down payment.
Friend: Hey man, you wanna come see my new bigscreen?
Me: Fuck you man, I ain't biking that far.
You could try this. But I don't think Google sells those.
Yet.

So maybe it's a British thing.
