The process diagrams where I work are wonders to behold. Blocks scattered about with arrows flying everywhere to and fro. It looks like the Persian assault on the Spartans. The arrows blot out the background.
I love how some of the Final Assembly Process arrows feed *into* the Preliminary Design processes. Must have something to do with salmon mating season.
America has come so, so far from my childhood when Popular Electronics (the terrorist, mob unleashing scum) would run feature articles on building the latest geiger counter kit.
I agree. Their 1977 article explaining how to build a 30 kiloton tactical nuke is still considered a classic.
But none of the teens took any of the CDs, even though they were free. "That was the moment we realized the game was completely up
That's just weird. Not sure I believe it happened. I don't like most of what's popular these days, but even I'd grab some freebies just to see what's up.
Most folks I know gave up on downloading illegally- movies at least. Music is still a download staple. The movie files took too long, or it wound up corrupted or some geektard used the MOLOTOV9 video codec that only runs on mainframes in secret Russian gulags, or some other nonsense.
We all just copy Netflix/Blockbuster Online rentals and share via physical copies. The results are perfectly consistent.
*shrug* Politicians are megalomanics. It's pretty much a resume requirement these days to hold political office. They don't care about history other than how it might teach them to gain more power. They get aroused (literally, I sometimes think) at the thought of controlling people.
It's also possible for intelligent people to talk themselves into the most amazing things, especially when groups are involved. Insulated groups. Like Congress.;-)
People make a mistake trying to look at it as a right and wrong issue. It's more of a "human minds fucking up in age old ways" issue. It's pretty much unsolvable.
the very generation that watched freedom of dissent work to fizzle out radicalism has come into the positions of power and are now acting as if it didn't work. Fear is truly the mind killer.
Or... a whole generation of people isn't a monobloc that thinks alike. There were Young Republican types on those campuses as well.
"From Harvard to UCLA, the ivory tower is fast becoming the latest watchtower in Fortress America. The terror warriors, having turned their attention to "violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism prevention' -- as it was recently dubbed in a House of Representatives bill of the same name -- have set out to reconquer that traditional hotbed of radicalization, the university."
Tonight... on 24! Jack Bauer delivers the glorious CTU smackdown to some girly man professors with their sights set on terrorizing the Heartland! Watch the Godless professors soil their undies as Bauer delivers a peer reviewed parcel of whoopass!

Heh heh...
You know... swimming upstream...
Heh?
Ah, the hell with ya.
Ah, you baby! Unskippable cutscenes and load times make man out of you! A *MAN*, I tell you!
Toughen up, son! Go play the entire Xenosaga trilogy! Huah!
After all, who wants a sociologist in their terror cell?
Isn't the whole point of terror to cause, well, terror? Sounds sociological to me. Seems a sociologist might have a place in a terror cell.
echo $STEREOTYPE1 has $STEREOTYPE2 mindset
Let the witch hunts begin! Woot!
Dude, it's the closest thing ANY of us are going to get to a light saber.
Take it one step further and virtualize the whole thing.
Hell, you can use software from the 1960's.
As a registered misanthrope, I support anything that kills more people.
"I am KillBot. Please insert human."
Well, the Earth's primary intelligence (humans) is going soft in the head, so I guess it's just old age.

I think you are the only responder who didn't take my post totally seriously and as an excuse to call me names.
Honestly, there's been some recent influx of new Slashdotters who take themselves seriously to a level I never before thought possible.
When they show an interest.
How about "better than most science fiction movies in the past 30 years?"
I might agree with that one.
No, but water will melt it much like the wicked witch of the West.
I wish these effort well. We need more celebrities and boy band members in space.
Oh, we were doomed long before lolcats.
You're supposed to have the monitor facing *away* from the doorway.
Has that been declared Fair Use, or is it just as illegal?
I don't care.
Because, if it is something they'll go after me for anyway, I'll stick to downloading screener copies as they come out.
It's untrackable. They can't go after it.
Same quality, without the wait or the need to buy physical disks.
Bigger selection from Netflix, though. Blank DVDs are dirt cheap, and I want it on a disc so I can watch it on my big TV.
So the fact that they picked 44 instead of 42 shows their disharmony with life, the universe and everything?
Very interesting, sir! VERY interesting!

Blah blah blah who cares? And the 1980s called. They want their "fanboi" term back.
OK, I'm done with you, wanker.
You know, I just fucking give up this site.
Was the comment about hunter killer robots not enough to show I wasn't being serious?
No, we all have to take ourselves seriously and flame over the most trivial shit in the world.
I can't imagine what tedious, drab and humorless bores some people around here will be when they grow up.
