But when you try and throw it away does the refrigerator stop you and say, "Are you sure you want to throw away leftover jar?"
And then when you say yes, it says, "We need to confirm that you wish to throw away leftover jar."
And then when you say yes, does the entire house lock down, the lights dim and say, "refigerator needs your permission to continue." before you can actually get rid of it?...cause I'm thinking that grocery day is going to be a real bitch.
Ugh. Rules. Structure. Makes me wince. Perhaps I should try... Running around naked with my hair on fire screaming, "ANARCHY! ANARCHY! Take that Fibonacci, you wiper of other peoples bottoms! go away and I shall taunt you no more!"
Don't think of evolutionary history as a linear process, it's more like a tree...or perhaps a shrubbery. Most of the fossils, and animals today for that matter, are like the leaves or little branches on the edges.
While you can trace any leaf back to the trunk, the vast majority of the branches do not lie along this path. Not only is it unlikely that you will find a fossil that is a "direct ancestor" of any other animal, there is no way to know for sure whether one is or not.
Evolution tends to occur in relatively small sub-populations of a species. So if you found, say an ancient iguana skeleton on the Galapagos, you can't know if this was part of the population that would later adapt to life in the ocean or the population that would later adapt to life on land.
Let's just take this to its obvious conclusion. When will they make a simulated organism as complex as a human? Could we use them to perform experiments on? Maybe stick them in an apparently closed virtual world, and then see if they can invent computers and make virtual simulations of themselves that they can experiment on?
Or maybe this has already happened...
I think you're looking at this the wrong way...nothing is better for gamers than having some rediculous clown leading the charge against gaming. He presents the entire anti-gaming movement as a bunch of hateful zealots. The more he froths at the mouth, the more unpalatable he and his positions become to non-gamers.

Pull out a fresh sheet and fold a new one.
You just wait. They'll be coming for YOUR Saturn V rocket next.

Having to understand "GPL" and "apt-get" = FAIL.
Yo.
Mod.
Yeah, you.
Score of one?
Give me a break, huh?
No one will read my clever post!

Yeah, but would it say the same thing about you?
