I'd love to see some sort of strategy/action hybrid where you lead a terrorist cell and try to being about the collapse of a country into chaos. You'd have to choose who to send on suicide missions, scout out bomb builders, etc.
But, if I find nothing, my imagination is left to fill in the blanks.
Er... maybe you shouldn't be the one interviewing people, because those blanks are going to be filled in by every prejudice you don't even know you had.
It's like the example Carl Sagan gave on Cosmos.
Observation of Venus: We can't see a thing. Conclusion about surface: Dinosaurs!
I feel your pain, Mr. Agent, but, still, "up to" and "less than" seem mathematically equivalent to me in the real world.
To my local ISP's (Charter) credit, I have their "up to" 5 Mbps service and I quite often get that. Any downloads that come under that could just as easily be a problem elsewhere than the link between Charter and me.
They haven't added any tiers in a while, though, so that Verizon FIOS 25 Mbps (up to) might need trying.
I understand that Windows people are despicable and wear black hats to symbolize their black hearts,
Nah. The Windows crowd is pretty much 100% converted to zombies at this point. It's those thrice damned Linux people who have taken up the black hats. We Macheads have tried to call a truce so that we can all wage World War W against the Windroids, but the Linux folken refuse, for they are filled with the evil will of their master, a fell race.
Is he the test tube baby of David Schwimmer and Jack from Lost?
Would have been nice to known their itinerary and plant bad signs in their path. Maybe lead them into Mexico and one of the drug cartel territories. Oh, what fun would ensue!
Trauma people talk about 3 crashes.
1) Vehicle hits hard immovable object (like the earth).
2) Occupant hits inside of vehicle.
3) Occupant's brain hits inside of skull (and similar events with other organs)
Wait, aren't those the rules to Inception? Which one wakes him up?
Why is this insightful? It's repeated endlessly like a mantra EVERY discussion about space exploration.
Better insight is to recognize that we will probably never "get our shit together" as a race. All the nonsense happening today has been happening for millennia, and will keep happening for the forseeable future. Human minds still, in general, do not function well. Seriously, look at the utter crap that happens every day all over the world, or even your own town. Something is terribly, terribly broken, or simply underdeveloped. The advent of civilization and technology may drag the human mind into the light eventually, but we're talking evolutionary timescales here. From that viewpoint, the world's first city was built a couple eye blinks ago.
While we wait for that to happen, we might as well muck about some other stuff like space exploration and eventually colonization.
Got any advanced physics ideas on reducing the cost to orbit? We really sort of need that before any sort of mass migration into space, even just LEO, can occur.

You sure it wasn't just Dominatrix Barbie in her Gestapo interrogator outfit?
Always whining.

Touche.
Yeah. RFID. ICBM. Perfectly logical analogy.
(facepalm)
In soviet america, ass bankrupts you!
Er... implying that somewhere (Soviet Russia?) you bankrupt your ass?
I really don't want to know, do I?
Your mom is so inflated, your dad had to roll her in flour and find the wet spot.
Nah, you need to go full on physics here.
"You mom is so inflated, your dad had to roll her up like a Calabi-Yau manifold and look for the Casimir effect!"
Thank you! Am I right? Huh? Huh? Am I? Huh?
Oh, shut up.
What? A post advocating the murder of 3 billion people on Slashdot and it hasn't been rated +100 Insightful yet? I'm shocked! o_O
Seriously, this place has reached the point where I cannot tell if you are joking or not.

No. Birthers are boring. Weather control weapons are *AWESOME*!
This is supervillian level stuff.
Whose got the upper hand now, Putin! Ha! No more Vladerday on Pundit Kitchen for you!
Can anyone think of any others?
I will do Slashdot posts of up to ten

No worries. In Singularity the Russians take over the world in the end no matter *what* you do!
Oops! Spoilers! :-P
Not really. Windows installs usually require a complete exorcism.
That's impossible - only three Star Wars films were ever made.
-- ... and then they built the supercollider.
I just enjoyed that combination of post and sig file.
My first Blu-Ray was the first Transformers film.
I'm sure that will be one of my many regrets when I'm on my deathbed.
Yeah, I was, you know, just kidding. Speaking of "heads up"...
Geez, Slashdot get less jolly every day. :(
The Klingon are passionate opera-lovers, but little is known about their highly evolved form of musical expression.
I imagine so, what with them being fictional and all.

Good lord, I had to stare at it to even see it. I swap words like that sometimes and I don't why know. Yoda genes in me I have.

Nicolas Cage just drove by my house really fast shouting into a cell phone. Should I be concerned?
Do you show the same regard for people like Hitler? Mussolini? Stalin?
Oh, shit! Kaylee! Disconnect the Godwin matrix! Quick!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
