I'd have to disagree, we are just as violent (how can we not be it's in our nature) think we aren't go and watch two children playing and see how long before they physically start fighting. That is a genetic feature programmed into us for survival. Now granted as we've grown older as individuals we have suppressed that side of our nature.
Just look at the facts. Steven Pinker wrote a book on this subject. I don't expect you to take just his word for it, or accept him automatically as an authority, but what he says makes sense to me.
I also hope you didn't type "much more productive" with a straight face. Are you blind to how lazy we've become? I'd say people were far more productive 100 - 50 - even just 25 years ago than we are today. We may produce more, but long gone are the days we have to grind our own wheat to make flour...
Well, "productive" refers to how much we produce, not the amount of effort we put into it.
And to get rid of the snakes, we'll send in the gorillas. That's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
I think a lot of TRS-80s made it into the hands of the "less privileged" by virtue of being sold by Radio Shack. For example, I lived in a rural area, but we had a Radio Shack (slash-hardware-store). I can't remember for sure, but I would bet my parents didn't want me to send hundreds of dollars to some fruity computer company in California, but who could go wrong with the "Shack"? So my first computer was a TRS-80.
My first (OK, *only*:)) significant assembly language programming was done on my CoCo. I needed something to push pixels around on the screen faster than BASIC would.
That has to be bullshit because we know climate change is real and man made. The planet is doomed unless everyone rides their bike to work and eats rice cakes.
I'm sure it will please you to know that your straw man has helped to sequester just a bit of carbon that would otherwise have remained in the atmosphere!
But if you burn that straw man, you'll release it back again!

Who knows what female scientists want, when it comes right down to it?
Well obviously you're sexist and misogynistic, although not quite as much as your wife is.
To be serious for a moment, your 2nd paragraph provided a jarring contrast to the first one.
Already at 5, Insightful, so please enjoy this virtual "+1 Insightful"...
Now THAT would be a story!
In DS9, you're just one transporter accident away from having four Quarks.
The physics is cool, but I'm just excited that someone on the Internet used comprise correctly!
Naturally - they didn't want to comprise their principals!

How about one BIG bullet and multiple smaller ones?
Very sad, and we hope your lawsuit goes well.
Oh! How I wish some people would use that right... If you get my drift...
Great Ron White quote - "I had the right to remain silent... but I didn't have the ability."
Huh. For a second there my brain thought: "FTL? Faster Than Light (travel)? WTF!"
WTF? What The F***?
FTFY, FTW!
They should throw all their resources into marketing MS Paint.
They were going to call it "Office 180", then completely changed direction.
Of course! If Bush hadn't done this and that, then our glorious leader wouldn't have been led into temptation.
Remember kids, it's always Bush's fault. If you just remember that, you'll be OK.
I stopped using slashdot.
D'oh!

... and especially RABBITS!
-- that and watching people running from the falling chunks of whale is just awesome.
Did any one say "Oh! The huge manatee!" ?
When I was a kid, computers were interesting enough all by themselves. It's a sad state of affairs that they no longer seem to be...
Hey! I'm still hoping one of the next 4 "Die Hard"s will be good!
Wouldn't it be more efficient to just... push the asteroid out of the way?
But that would be boring.

Good old machines. My first computer purchase was the TRS-80 Level 1 4K, a pretty limited machine for it's time even.
Who remembers Softside Magazine?
