what a great idea for a movie! I'll cut you in for half the profits!
You give me hope in These Troubled Times, man. THANK YOU.

I've dated women like this!
I have to agree with the parent. By being a "nice guy" you buy brownie points from the people you lend your PC to...maybe. On the other hand, they may be leeches who will not hesitate to guilt you into doing what they want, and then not reciprocate at a future time. How do you tell the difference? Ah, college, it's all about learning to be social in a social environment.
In the end, though, it's your computer. You'll be amazed at how fast all these "friends" disappear once some lunk-head breaks your PC. And sticks you with the repair bill.
I'm just saying.
Who says our cold, inhuman masters can't be cute...

While English may not be as bad as Mandarin Chinese to learn, it's still a bear. I propose an Open Source project called "Hacklish" to develop an international lingua franca.
Just my 2 cents.
That's why those "herds" of Feral Humans will have to be carefully managed! Granted, they're dirty, forgetful, vain, cranky and needlessly aggressive, and nearly psychotic as a rule, but the "Ferals" will still be the only easily obtainable life form capable of building it's replacements from scratch (with a lead time of, oh, say, ten thousand years).
And they're the only ones crazy enough to think that doing so is a good idea.
Yes, my transapient friends, they're the ultimate fail-safe. And so much fun to watch!
Now all we need to do is wait for one of you to compare the other to Hitler an my Slashdot Experience will be complete!
Zactly. Or, more to the point, you have people who may be people-skill brilliant (and you can always cut a deal with people, right? Just say the right word, tell the right lie, make the right threat, grease the right palm, and they'll do what you want...) but reality-skill stupid (ever try arguing with Ma Nature? Not happening) running the show.
The Map is Not The Territory. But Busy Executives still use Excel spread sheets like it was Gospel.
Just saying...
Who cares? Those "zero phone" people are always so hard to get a hold of. They never pick up!
Mr. Hitchens, is that you?!?
And let's be frank: the Crusades were less of a "killing spree" and more of a semi-organized "pillage and rampine" operation...of which the Church took a cut.
Except for the Children's Crusade. How about that for "think of the Children"...
I'm going to steal that as my new signature! THAT'S GREAT!
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
