Oh no, I do like it. And that's why me and everyone else is going to buy the cheaper compact version that has a camera and a phone, and is otherwise identical.
Manifestations of OCPD vary wildly, so to respond to "X is a symptom of OCD" with "are you saying everyone with OCD does X?" is either disingenuous or just not very well thought out.
Don't forget "want for not to read", which can either mean you have a desire to leave all books unread, or you have enough reading material readily available to satisfy a lifetime of reading (or not reading).
I dunno, I've been running in RealWorld 0.8 and the mmo aspects of real sex were severely over-hyped on that one. But to be fair, I've beat it on single player mode like a thousand times and it still hasn't gotten old.
This "idiocracy" meme (that the masses are stupid and we are the smart ones) is just ego stroking - don't feel good just because you're more sane than the bottom 0.001% who are off their meds.
Maybe I just feel like there are more stupid, gullible people around because I know so many of them personally, like half my co-workers, most of my family, all of my wife's friends, and the majority of people I randomly start conversations with. And don't even get me started on the rubes who still vote Republican.
"Ignorant" is not the same as "stupid", and can be cured by means much less dramatic than death.
Absolutely.
Knowing nothing about science, astronomy, logic, or reality = ignorance.
Buying into the 2012 claptrap = gullibility.
Seeing an action movie and thinking it's real = stupidity.
I'm glad we could clear that up. (seriously though, I agree with your assessment that magical thinking is a cultural thing, and we should all have far less tolerance for it.)

Unless you want to out the person leaking this document, he can't ever publish a photocopy of it as it will be traced back to him.
Oh c'mon... they never heard of photoshop? Either they don't have the document, or they figure it's not worth their time to make the watermark illegible.
This causes a great deal of confusion, because the name of the great nerd who creates them all is named Shawn the Non-Believer, (AI algorithm researcher and atheist reddit troll).
Sneakernet is always faster, so if they can train up a few pretty women, pay them a decent programmers wage to have them steal stuff that is the work of 10 engineers or even hundreds, that's a pretty sound economic payoff don't you think?
A FPS, on the other hand, lends itself to predatory tactics... seeking your prey and killing them without being killed by their defensive tactics.
The only reason we see it as a hunt and kill experience is because we're pretending it is. For us, the toons are people, and we are "shooting" them with "guns".
For a mouse, the toons are just colorful moving things. This would be no different than the "find the lever, hit the lever, get the cheese" exercise, for which they evidently have no aversion. Although, I haven't seen one of those experiments with a moving lever, so maybe I'm wrong.
Intel gathering MMO:
"It seems that I lost my [microfilm] down the sewer, and I fear the [a giant rat]s may have eaten them. Go slay them and bring back my [10] [microfilm]s."
I agree! Furthermore, they can take a slab of the stuff and strap it onto a soldiers arm, thus providing him a laser shield that will defend him if he's being attacked by Cobra.
More than anything, work gets in the way of coding fer FOSS. Chick's should dominate the field... oh well, blame the feminists. There would no longer be issue if women just stayed in the home, taking care of the kids and working on that next open source port of mahjong.
Microsoft wants to verify "something", god knows what...
Beats me.. I have had the same pirated copy of XP running on multiple machines for years now, and WGA has not reported a problem. I don't know what that little tool is actually doing, but it sure as hell isn't looking for pirated software.

If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Solution: just create user with some elevated, but not system-destroying privileges. Then let him go nuts.
Sir, I apologize for the issues. Here are the passwords:
Username: Root
Password: HaV3f[_]n4$5h0le
they also want the right to vote, collect welfare and social security, hold a job, get married, buy cars and houses, run for public office...
Unless they're gay monkeys. That's just going too far.
If you are over 18 years old and find yourself in a chatroom typing these sequence of characters:
--> A/S/L
Then you should go on a sex offenders watch list or something, cause it's just a matter of time.

Thank goodness it's all in my head.
Absolutely.

.. let's weaponize the shit out of implausability !
Let's make a LHC that is activated automatically in case of attack on the country or natural disaster..

Either way bodes well.

No, no no... that whole thing is a total myth.
Maids are not pretty.
Tell me again how this is so different from prostitution?
If it's done right, it's not.
SIGGRAPH! Moving us back to 1970s scifi tech. Next? A next generation space shuttle that is actually propelled by strings and an bottle rocket.
Wrong wrong wrong.
If they want this technology to take off, they need to get the porn industry on board. Seriously, the possibilities are endless.
Having actually played my manager in Quake, I can confirm this.
