I know it's tempting to think of all Geek Enemies as one big evil oppression machine, but I don't think the content industry associations are the ones pushing this. Some people want to block steganographic content, and some other people want to keep watermarks permanent.
Interesting is also that they think that it is positive to support DRM with steganography.
Ridiculous. They'll implement a media standard that relies on hiding data where no one would think to look for it - and then implement the standard so all participating players will know where to look for it?
Girls don't like you because you've already decided what they think of you.
What you can bench press is not much of a deal breaker, but here's the thing: EVERYONE looks good in a suit. Women care whether or not you actually give enough of a shit to get one.
Your bitterness and desperation is pure poison and women can smell it on you and it will send them running every time. The more pissed off you get about it the more it will happen.
Get all that fundamental shit in order. Hygiene and clothing and all that. Talk to women in a way that doesn't suggest that they're doing you a favour by being seen with you. Look them in the eye and don't spend the entire conversation hunting for approval. Lean back sometimes. Be sexy. Anyone can do it.
Above all, abandon this victimhood attitude. You can make excuses for what injustices you think are keeping you alone, and they may be good, compelling excuses, and they may be really genuinely sad stories. But while that may net you some sympathy, it won't get you any pussy.
No way. You sound like a total player who will just use me for my superior programming skills and irresistible body. I'm not just some enormous slab of brains and meat, you know.
I'm pretty certain that the fact I haven't been laid in a while indicates some profound injustice in the way dating works. My poor self esteem requires me to believe that any girl who is interested in me (or a geek like me, since the ONLY thing that makes me unattractive is clearly my geekness) must be undesirable and desperate.
This is corroborated by the fact that every girl I speak to who is attractive to me is unaccountably turned off by the fact that I know C++, and not for instance the fact that I think it's okay to accuse strangers of being fat.
It's not that we're unable to get dates because we're geeks, I suspect, so much as the other way around. I was terrible and socially awkward as a kid, and since I didn't have any asshole kids to be my friends, I read a lot and taught myself all sorts of skills instead.
But it turns out that if you can be bothered, you can develop social skills too! If more geeks would stop regarding themselves as lost causes, victims of the superficiality of love, and (dare I say it) sexual martyrs, they'd find that chicks actually dig dudes who can do things.
And when these kids go to high school and college and the corporate world they'll probably be running Windows anyway Most college networks I've ever met ran Linux. This isn't to say it's necessarily useful to teach elementary school kids about OSS, but it's not as if no one uses it for anything in real life.

So, instead of medium-size, they might actually be small big?

No, it's because your point TOTALLY falls apart if you replace that figure with 0.01% or - God help us - 0.1%. AC is a dorkwad.

Every phone call should include a steganographic exchange of your next phone numbers. Discard your phones (or SIM cards) after a single use.
Dude, are you the one other guy on there!? OMG LET'S MAKE A HACKER TEAM
This is a feature of critical importance.
I'm not surprised at all! Now there's a job you can wrap your head around and have a conversation about when hammered.
And that, lonely nerds, is how it is done.
*bows*
Scram, AC. I'm gettin' my mack on here.
I am an occasional Anon, but reports of it being a hive-mind are largely exaggerated.
That'd be great, but Altavista won't return my calls. I think I hit them too close to home.

C'mon guys. This right here is hilarious.
Ma Bell doesn't care about black people.
No no, that's what Hitler smoked.
