That wasn't so much a new language, as a dialect based on massive simplification of a language.

Popular.

Ok, there are a lot of synthetic or constructed languages. Many people here have already pointed out Esperanto.
Too bad there are significantly more people that speak Klingon than Esperanto. Esperanto is a failure.

What would it take other than being popular? Making it common, useful, or even important. Require it to be taught for school children and free classes available for adults. Then make things people want or need only available in that language. Some options include government services, others might be 2/3s of a media stations programming, get creative. Preferably, do it in many countries, especially 1st world nations, at the same time.
Would people rebel against that? Oh hell yes! Just look at metrics in the US. Most people still have no freaking clue how many centimeters are in a meter (here's a hint, the metric system is based on 10s, with decimeter being between centimeter and meter) and they were teaching that thing to school kids since the 60s that I know of! Most of the world, and all of the other 1st world nations, have already officially switched to metrics, even the UK. In fact most sources are only listing 3 countries that haven't officially switched yet.
To put some perspective on that, the metric system is reported to have been created in 1799... That's around TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN YEARS! And that's only a measuring system, not something even vaguely as significant and large as a language.

So yes, the only way to get a new language adopted is either find some way to make it so totally popular everyone wants to know it so bad they'd skip their own birthdays and sex to take even one class. Or to force everyone to learn and use it while giving it some modicum of popularity and usefulness.

So anyhow, good bloody luck with that.

So I guess you'd mod everyone that has an IQ higher than 80 that actually passed high school science. :(

Lol, I'm pretty sure everyone in my military career field is automatically on watch lists, so I don't worry about it happening anymore, I just assume it's already happened. :P

And of course nobody in the history of the world has ever thought about a type of deadman switch (possibly software based on a smartphone) where if it doesn't receive a "keep alive" signal at specific intervals or communications are interrupted for more than a very short period, it automatically triggers.

They have a requirement to get those papers to the target, and I'm guessing a restriction on making those papers public.
So there are two really big problems with this:
Posting it to facebook may make it visible to lots of people it shouldn't.
Facebook is a piece of crap that often doesn't show things it should, so there is absolutely no guarantee the target will ever even see it.
I guess next those morons will broadcast it on tv.

Confident or not, Apple always acts as though they can do anything they want to, up until they are actually dragged into a court. Then they "may" make some concessions, if they can't avoid it.

So you're saying that it's impossible that something this obscure wasn't a prominent part of the politicians campaign and of course all the voters had already considered such unlikely minutia, as well as that having the few choices of candidates wouldn't include rich bastards that can be bought off....

So what planet are you from? On this one it happens all the time.

And still the #1 nutcase politician running a country that isn't North Korea is still the shirtless russian by an entire furlong.

They're smart enough to have morals and not sabotage society for their own benefit, otherwise they'd probably already be politicians.

I'm not saying these guys didn't goof up in some way, or if they were right, it's just that sometimes the old paradigm of how everyone believes things work is just plain wrong.
I'll give one example from when I was in high school. As any programmers among the readers know, the slowest form of sort is the bubble sort. We figured out how to make it faster than all other types of sorts. We kind of freaked when our trick not only worked, but it made it the fastest. We then tested it and worked out an algorithm to keep it at it's fastest.
The old paradigm that bubble sorts are the slowest sorts got destroyed, so it's always going to be possible that old accepted assumptions about how things work can be overturned, even if it requires certain specific parameters. (Of course crap code will F anything, so that's not what we're talking about.)

I wouldn't mind a return of the series, either a reboot or an effective sequel. I just don't think it'll work with the old cast. Their stories were pretty much run into the ground about 2 decades ago. Have some new blood pick up the threads and what happens when they give them a tug.

Dude, I think your meds are off.

Yeah, after close to 20 years, they really should have their replacements take up the x-files. As it is, I have my doubts about Sculley being able to still be so dismissive of Mulders weirdo theories, and let's face it, at his age, Mulder just can't jump to conclusions the way he used to.

So you are an advocate for reverting society to a non-technological subsistence living then?
Innovations in efficiency do cause issues for individuals on the short term scales, but do wonders for society over the long term.
After all, that's why we aren't just scattered tribes of hunters & gatherers and can now use increasing amounts of our capability for other endeavors. You know, like this internet thingie that allows us to communicate like this over vast differences in location and time. :P
