But if you ask me, the real virus is windows combined with its 'average' user.
Before switching to Linux, I used Win95, 98, ME, 2K and XP SP1 & 2. And I was never as infected as these chaps. But then I don't use P2P filesharing, and I know where to get my porn^H^H^H^H^H anime.
When there's no guy inside to pick up the phone and give directions, how on Earth are they going to find it when they crash it? 'Cause they will. Heard of birdstrike? How are the birds supposed to avoid a plane they can't see? Unless they start paying the birds some decent wages, this invention is a fluke.

I think you confuse truth and reality. The common sensical notion is that 1) truth requires consensus and 2) reality is bigger than our present knowledge. Take for instance people who've seen bigfoot. Their real experiences (to them) is not considered true by the majority.
But truth itself is a troublesome object to deal with, depending on what approach you have (classic, cartian, linguistic etc).
Just at a glance (and no real reading) it looks kind of pseudo scientific. Or as you say, informal.
Interesting approach, though. Your notion of reality is quite loose. Reality = consensus? I beg to differ. Conventional beliefs = consensus? Maybe.
You must be new here. We're basing our discussion on stereotypes and stuff we've learned from movies.
Just keep your head down, pay attention and you'll get the hang of it, kid. Welcome!
This gives us (3523*2)/58789194 * 100 = 0.0119851957827488% chance of being killed in an average lifetime by terrorism.
(For reference, the chance of winning the UK National Lottery is 0.0193366388688181%, if we assume that you play for 52 years in your life, every week.)
Phrew! I never play the lottery, so I guess I'm safe then!
And I've never had an average lifetime either. I always do my best to have the time of my life.
No, no, there actually was a troublesome priest in the Nuremburg process, who insisted on people's confessions all the time. There had been some mix-up of dates and appointments, I guess. The caterer got there just in time for the executions, several months too late, and the priest never showed up for the last rites.
Indeed, a troublesome priest. *tsk tsk*
A good friend of the family who is a well-educatated psychiatrist once asked me to tell her about the basics of World of Warcraft. (And before you ask, I am not a patient.) It happened that she was treating a patient with asocial behaviour and tendencies of depression, and s/he spent all day and night playing WoW, often forgetting to eat if s/he was alone. The patient got a lot more interested after I provided a quick intro.
This was about one and a half year ago.
From that day she has treated more "WoW patients" (not treating them from the game, but more or less destructive behaviour) and she frequently asks me to look up any scientific papers and articles regarding online gaming (especially MMORPGs), which are subjects drawing a growing attention in this field.
I am not a WoW player, but I remember playing MUSHs when I had a RL Warhammer group in the weekends, and the text-based world was pretty real to me. But just for a while. I would read anything Tolkien/Fantasy related, bought a bunch of artworks and even a sword, but thanks to the RL RPG group it was never anything anti-social about it.
When I was a young teenage chatter, I had what I'd call emotionally close relations to people I had never met. We would write long e-mails about daily life and all sorts of things. Most of them I dropped contact with a long time ago, but some I still keep in touch with today. I would still say they were and are real friends.
This is a separate form, not asocial form, of social relations, which will superficially supply the need of interaction, and even establish authentic feelings and friendships. But it has its obvious limits.
It will never satisfy the need for human touch, which goes deeper than we'd like to believe. It's not that long ago we established and secured our social bondings with grooming each other. An unreasonable detachment from RL social networks and human touch is, in my view, a disorder.
Just some thoughts here:)
I think a good warning is when you see a whale whooshing by at church spire height. At least it's an indication of certain things happening. But you never know. Whales are mysterious.
This will never beat the fat dude wiping grease all over your seat's armrest or the afro dude in front of you. Or the girl that winked at you just before the lights were turned down. Or the way you're completely absorbed by the enormeous screen and sound, and left alone to dive deeper into the story by the help of the upsurge of emotional susceptibility. The magic, people, the magic.
Vivé la cinematèque!

While soldiers once deployed with little more than a backpack and a rifle
Well excuse me, but I'm reading world history atm, and no army has ever been as trimmed down as the ones of today (except small rebel groups of course). They used to have musical bands, barbers, doctors (most of whom were barbers too), artists and let's not forget the fun girls. When de Alba attacked the Netherlands Filip the 2nd sent with him court of women dressed like princesses, to defeat the uproar by amazement. A whole lot of people followed the armies on foot, living off of them.
Hannibal had elephants. Not potbellypigelephants.
As for equipment, costume was just as important as it is today. Except that today you're not to be seen. // End history rant

This free energy is called love. Takes at least a lapdance to charge an AA battery, though. But I'm not going anywhere. I just love the fact that we live in a world where stripjoints have free wifi.

If he's hoping to see the invisible, then I think someone's been throwing around the definitions here. If this is the same NASA that mixed metres and feet, maybe they should sort out their dictionaries.
But relatively speaking, there is no NASA at rest, of course. We're all spinning plutons and OMG It's full of stars!
That's just because is out of fashion. Just wait a little, soon enough two thirds of/. will be blinking, with rotating skulls and headers in <marquee>s.

No encryption? That's awful! This is the 21st century! With all the STDs- oh, wait..
Nvm.

Just look at what kind of girl the übergeek ends up with.
Where are hackergirls like that? Err. Where are girls like that?

Both subjects are very interesting:D

I agree with Red Alastor on point ten. It's easier to penetrate when you're unzipped.
Jesus fucking GOD how hard is it?
Depends on Jesus' relationship with His Father, I'd say.
