I forsee a few more wal-mart ads and some shitty wal-mart apps. All in all it's gonna fail.

I'm gonna go ahead and play fortune tell here: The Government passes a bunch of privacy violating cyber laws Everyone thinks its great for a day or two, then forgets all about it. A Republican gets elected down the road a year or four Everything is business as usual Some kind of scandal or some other such nonsense happens Everyone blames the Republican and calls him a fascist Rinse and repeat.

As a gamer who has spent about as much on controllers as I did on my console, I do not think this is a good idea.

How about, oh I dunno, giving steam to those who have been waiting since forever instead of the kiddos who are just starting to use linux? (i.e ubuntu)

I always thought people went to wikipedia to, you know, look shit up, not look at some ad or a bunch of stupid effects no one wants.

Other than writing different exploits for each platform, this really isn't that amazing. Of course it's just a few if statements and there you go. Come get me when someone takes down an entire country with a stuxnet clone

Do you work for apple, or one of those companies always trying to sell me a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body?

'If it is there, it should just be there for the IT people or tech support to use when you encounter a problem.'" Ahahahahaha.. Oh wait, you're serious? Let me laugh harder. I, for one, fix my problems myself with a little googling and occasionally some help from my home-dawgs on irc, I don't need Apoo to fix anything for me. This is the kind of thing that's ruining everything for those of us who know what we're doing and want to learn more about how things work inside. If Linux distros got rid of the command line, I would.. well.. I would switch to *BSD.

I thought Steve Jobs invented everything, designed everything, fixed everything and sold everything at every apple store in the world.

Now turn it loose with a few Grand Strategy games, Real-time Strategy games, and Counter Strike for good measure. And don't forget a copy of The Art of War. This should turn out well.

Contribute to an open source project? It'll keep you sharp, let's you work with other people, and it won't look bad on a resume' if you contribute a lot and do good.

Honestly I think this is one of those areas where we can play god and get away with it. If it helps people, and hurts no one, then do it. Science is a beatufiul thing, and it shouldn't be shafted when it helps people.

Or pull an office space style robbery. I've always wanted to do that.

I was looking at my related links on another page, and I see these two stories right next to each other: "1342 In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins" and "1226 Debate Over Evolution Will Soon Be History, Says Leakey" So which is it?
