Damn. Then I might have to rework my PhD thesis. It was on the phrenological origins of the business cycle. Maybe it will help if I put some stuff in there about gluons, strange quarks, or quantum entanglement.

You'll win Nobel prizes in economics and physics simultaneously with that right there.

I'm going to go start making more people. You get to work on building that box.

I hope they'll patch these machines. Otherwise, how long will it be before the bot wrangler just takes his net back?

Better yet, just wipe the hard drives. The users might think harder about security if something other than their net connection gets abused.

Your idea of predictable, naturally-explainable weather patterns is just a theory. In Kansas, we teach that tornadoes are caused by an intelligent designer. This designer would never send His tornadoes to spread disease amongst His people without a good reason. It is our faith in Him that allows us to relocate this dangerous facility without fear. In fact, it is better to get this building as far away from the godless sodomites in NYC as possible. His will be done, amen.
