Grumbling at a Japanese car because "We beat the Japs, now you won't buy American cars!" isn't quite the same as "I manned a US nuclear silo during the Cold War, and now the USA is refreshing the nuclear weapons stockpile". Maybe "we beat the Ruskies, and now you order brides via mail from Russia!" or "I manned a US Flying Fortress during WWII and now the USA is refreshing the Air Force with new bombers" might be closer to the two expressed sentiments. One is "I've been trained to hate a particular enemy", the other is "War. War never changes."

And for those who really are obsessed with mental puzzles and exercise, it's not about extending life, but instead extending the quality phase of life. This has a side effect of extending life in some people.

It does. And the annoying thing about the "Other" folder (which collects messages sent from non-friends) is that Facebook neither notifies you via email nor by the little red "new message" icon. You have to explicitly open up the Other folder to see if a non-friend might have sent you anything. Want to have a conversation with a friend of a friend (invite them to bachelor[ette] party, et al) without "friending" them? Good luck!

And now because of this judge, everyone must check their FB Other folder regularly or be subject to summary judgment for failure to appear in court. (I am not a lawyer)

I saw the corn sugar commercials on TV, so I'm guessing they were approved, but laughed off the air by viewers.

You can also make the system forget that \autorun.inf files exist (no method of interacting with them works). I've used this method before because the "new" default for autorun still has social holes (programs can choose their icon and run text).

When you made it, you weren't legally a person. Non-persons can't own a patent.

Friends are still happily playing it. Figured it might be a game that is fun for the long haul. Now I know it will be ruined. MS game DRM was what made me eschew modern games in the first place.

At least Star Control 3 wasn't a poorly thought out corporate developed sequel. The melee was so well thought out that there was an A.I. override built in and advertised in the manual to make the A.I. ships act suicidal. That takes planning.

Once a man knows you know he's a liar, you can no longer trust him to lie most of the time. You have to just stop listening to him.

Unfortunately, it will cost $100,000,000 per year to practice the free speech of publishing the newsletter, so it may never exist.

Seem pretty inconvenient. Now I'll have people all over asking me to unlock their guns. The worst will be the emergency runs. "Help! There's a man here whose gun you unlocked. I need you to unlock my gun or he'll kill my family!" *sigh*

Yes. Now continue the train of thought.

I bet this is part of why "going postal" is part of the American lexicon.

Big Bang as a universal manic phase. Needs more lithium.
