On the Amiga it was ARexx, but yeah it was pretty sweet. It could interface live with just about any program that was open (plus launch any it needed) and operate them without your intervention, so it had similar power to Linux's shell scripts, but had the potential to be somewhat graphical and it was far easier to learn than figuring out the complicated command-line syntax of every program under the sun.

Exactly. The programs must cooperate with their shares of memory, or I take my red and white checkered ball and go home, and none of us get to play.

Her birthdate has been on Wikipedia for at least a year.

Nope. I blame them for buying the rules from the politicians, and the politicians for selling the rules to the highest bidder.

To reiterate the GP, a sense of scale would be useful, but your senses are apparently WAAAAAAYYYY OFF. Probably well over 100 billion people have ever lived, and that's estimated from 50k years -- just half of your timeframe. That would mean less than 7% of the history of human population is alive now, not 50% (nor the more asinine and more common 75% quote).

You're fucking delusional.

You forgot Steve the Breakfast Cereal, I believe.

What more do you expect from someone who calls people "dude"?

Agreed. The summary takes two disparate things and tries to compare them in scale. I have no idea what the point is supposed to be here, other than to take any possible opportunity to sling some mud at part of Anonymous.

So sue congress for making a law that says they can't sue the supreme court? Sue the American people (again) for electing people who would limit their right to sue. Sue themselves for nearly bankrupting themselves in the crazy effort to sue everyone!

Sue the Supreme Court? Sue the American people for not supporting them (cue "Coupon: The Movie")!

A more insightful a reply, I could not have asked for. Good point. :)

I take it as "too old to be of use to me", or even "too old (slow) for what I want". I apologize for this poor-taste analogy in advance, but even though an 18yo is still young, she's "too old" for a pedophile. It has to do with what you want: that Dual-Core Intel isn't really that old, and it'll run just about any piece of software I need it to, but it's not what I want. I want a 6-core 3Ghz monster. Because of that, the old Intel is removed due to "old age".

Sometimes the bots' data are poisoned (temporarily) by invasions by teenagers, dorks, and jerks from websites I'd rather not name. So occasionally they become racist, anti-semitic, or just insane.

No... I'm sure they are networked in the background and the two programs are sending the statements to each other that way, rather than each one using voice recognition and proximity detection. We're just seeing the resulting output.
