...that this is a work in progress. I love mine, and for now it will let me catch up on shows I missed (I'm a SF fan who has yet to watch the new Dr. Who, and there is it available for streaming!) and there's a pile of classic old SF films available. I may watch Soylent Green next week. Love that film. For recent stuff I have my 2 DVDs out at a time. Getting this box doesn't stop your ability to get DVDs.
Netflix is working licensing issues, and the Roku team is free to allow other sources to stream to their little box- hulu would be a good next step. It can only get better.
Why don't some of the countries in the area just breed elephants on farms as a livestock animal? You get the ivory as a valuable export. You get the meat to feed your people. You pull elephants way back from the brink of extinction. And so on.
There's also the recognition that anyone in office you did vote for is still human, and can be corrupted just as easily as anyone. The Governator here in California is a prime example.
Religion tells everyone that they are being constantly watched by an invisible superman, so they have to behave, Yeah, but that kind of falls apart when the invisible superman tells them to go blow themselves up in crowded pizza parlors. You savvy?
What value lies in that direction? I'm disenchanted. I don't care.;-) I just want out of the whole sordid mess. I want to retire and go someplace where none of these self appointed superheros of the mind matter.
I wish you and everyone luck with this supposed change, though. I really do.
And I could mock any fragment of McCain's platform the same way That's nice. By the way, just because someone dares mock the Messiah^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Obama doesn't mean they are a McCain supporter.
If you're genuinely interested in understanding what Obama speaks of when he talks about change, I'd urge you to borrow a copy of The Audacity of Hope. No. I genuinely don't care anymore. I don't need to hear another ideological Grand Unified Theory from another megalomaniac who has never even met me telling me how my life is best run. Do you understand? It's just more words. Take your plans and your theories and your feelgoodisms and just leave me alone. I just want to retire as early as possible and get the hell out of the States.
Balrog Obama? Now that sounds like a candidates I can trust! His foreign policy would be unstoppable. Well, unless the terrorists pull a Gandalf out of their turban. I can't believe I'm even typing this nonsense!
...that Singularity really does == Rapture on the woo woo scale. I totally wanted to write a "Left Behind" type novel with the Singularity replacing the Rapture, but then I read Vinge's Marooned In Realtime and saw I was beaten to it.
Sorry kids. We're meat and will always be meat. That doesn't mean we can't make the meat really good, though.
Waking up from sleep is not like a reboot loading software into empty RAM. It's not even close. People really need to stop analogizing the organic brain to a digital computer. It's a really bad analogy.
It's not like Victor Vanilla browses the internet until someone trolls him with a child porn shock image and he immediately turns into Roger Rapist who desperately needs to rape little children. But it would make an awesome cartoon, especially if Jessica Rapist is in it. It could top the one where Goofy becomes a road raging monster when he drives his car.

For pity's sake I was kidding. And a troll mod to boot. Sometimes this site actually has a negative sense of humor.
Yeah, Los Angeles and Las Vegas being the tiny little burgs that they are.
Actually, wouldn't it be cheaper just to legalize gambling throughout California and not just the reservations?
Or does legislating morality just get the politicians too damned hard? Or wet in the case of the females.

And when the big guy who disagrees with the 1st Amendment comes along to shut you up, what then?

Now: A high school diploma
Tomorrow: The Presidency of the United States
Hmmm... actually, I think the Tomorrow one already happened...

The radical Islamists encourage *their* children to blow themselves up.
I'm no supporter of the current War On Terror, but can you see the difference here?
Then: Sally is twice as old as Suzy. Three years from now, the sum of their ages will be 42. How old is Sally?
Now: Chloe has 7 apples. How many apples does Chloe have?
Tomorrow: Write the number 5.
I suppose it doesn't help that AI has become the fusion power of the computing industry. It's always just around the corner.
Also, a lot of the singularity talk does have a religious cast to it. "The Singularity will work in mysterious ways" and all that.
I'm just sayin'

I would totally watch that movie.
Wow! Alert the press! You might just eclipse Scott McClellan in the media frenzy!
I tease.
Be fair, though. It took a *LOT* of complaining to drag MS kicking and screaming into standards compliance. We can hardly let our guard drop now.
That game owned. And Jade had way much amounts of Teh Sexy.

Why can't I have both? The computer guy for what can physically be done and the legal guy for what can legally be done.
I didn't know rap was big over there. Yo dat Clinton bitch! F that in the A, recognize?
