you're right. i wasn't suggesting it's true because we can't prove it's not. i was merely referring to those who do try to disprove it.. the silly ones, coming up with ways to fake it and trying to convince people it's evidence. i'm sure you know the kind. they're a discredit to both sides of the argument.
if you look at it like that, we'll never be able to disprove the paranormal since we'll never be able to claim that we've found all possible ways to receive and interpret data. it's one of the reasons why i think it's silly to even try disproving such things.
well, any current ID program "works". it does what it's built to do, except in the UK where it doesn't. what creimer means it probably "works perfectly". and with such a system, how could they ever fail? i mean, the criminals won't have them. if they did, the system wouldn't work perfectly. everyone who's innocent will have such an ID all the time, or the system couldn't work perfectly. and if there isn't such a clear distinction between good and evil, it just simply can't solve anything.
see what i did thar? political commentary, booyah;)
well, i was joking just now. but you provided some very good points. still, you avoided the main point of my last post, whether we could learn anything from bonobo society. i guess not though, since we'd have to find another way to vent any aggression.
hey, that reminds me... what do you think, would it be possible to completely weed out aggression from a society or is it too deeply ingrained in our being?
ah, i'm just gonna be a simple-minded fool about this. you said evolution is all about survival and reproduction. that's true (although survival isn't always a necessity, think of the widow spider). then, you proceed to claim that we no longer need to worry about survival. arguable, but true so far. what interests me here is that the only goal left is reproduction..
if we were to "reproduce" with the same enthousiasm that we kill others with... does that mean we should solve our problems the bonobo way?
and does anyone care to debate this little point with me? i'd like to hear another view on this:P
you probably meant on the toilet. it got me thinking though..
i wonder if it could be waterproofed. it's probably easy though, just a thin layer of some type of plastic. adding a low-heat cpu and putting heat exchangers on the surface so it doesn't require vents would possibly make it completely safe for rainy days.. with some work, it could probably even work underwater.
it probably sounds useless or silly, but the ability to access the internet or your own stored files anywhere is pretty useful and/or comfortable. and yeah, bathroom pr0n.
... after reading through all that, i hate you for being right. the implications scare me. there's no actual reason for them to strive towards the theoretical "perfect DRM", since that would actually cost them money. dumping DRM altogether wouldn't work either: they get them more money from the poor sheepish majority than they're losing from the ones who get upset over it.
why can't we just start using ethics as a form of currency in some form? come on, can't we all figure something out that'd dissolve this problem?
aww, DRAT! agent hammy failed again. no kibbles for him this weekend. and YOU, human! play dead when the boss arrives or i'll have your guts for dinner with a side of oregano and lettuce~!
hmm, you mentioned doom and it made me think of red alert's rock too... the hell march is one of those songs i still play once in a while, just for nostalgia's sake.
nobody's mentioned red alert yet, but it fits right with the likes of doom and.... yeh, doom. right?
i don't know where you buy your suits, man.. i just go to the thrift store!;)
sorry for that. but it isn't exactly about getting money, it's about getting justice and making a point. and i'm sure they'll get that money back if they win, anyway.
if it looks like someone's actually attacking america, the funding would return in no time. in the meantime, i'm sure they'll manage. you know how much they get now every year?

you.. bastard! why'd you have to tell me about that? now i can't even trust my phone anymore!

yep, that's a cliche. but a shark-decal on both sides would be an awesome in-joke for those geeky doctors!

wait... you think she's a BILF?
(bot i'd li.... yup. you know the one)
eeeeeeeeeewww....
i mean, she's a politician!
hmm... that dÃes resemble spiderman. in the first movie, they used tiny hairs as an explanation for his wall-climbing as well..
i'm actually getting interested in this :)
but they will be noticed when you've stopped for some reason... be it sneaking around a corner in shooters, or crashing/finishing in racing games..

nop, and not all plants produce cotton. still, trees and cotton plants aren't all that far apart, biologically speaking.
you've got a point though, they're not the same thing.
aaaaand just a tinge of corruption :)
but yeah, mostly hope and that kind of stuff.
P.S.: cotton does grow on plants. linen... not so sure. wikipedia will have the answer.
we need a +1 brilliant sarcasm.
but really.. can it play crysis? all else is unimportant!

The "read" version is definitely more common, though, for some reason.
Most computers spend more time reading than writing. I know this is insanely simple, but that is why you see more read errors.
kind of like the average slashdot poster, eh?
being a "computer guy" is probably one of the easiest jobs indeed. being any good at it, however, is another thing.
before even cybernetic lesbian assassins lose their luster.
cybernetic lesbian assassins with peg-legs?
AARRRRRRR!!!
wait, slashdot eats pants? i thought it w...
uhm..
did i say that out loud?
or give their IP addresses and plant some hidden webcam in their rooms, that should make things really fun to watch :)
Actually, it be a spare peg leg. Jes' in case this one starts rottin'
