Go to a consistently red state and interview the voters. Ask them two questions:
1. Do you want the government to have the power and control to intervene in private services and cut them off as they see fit?
2. Do you want the military to be able to take control of the internet in case of terrists attacks?
As a follow up, ask them why their answers to the two questions contradict.
A majority of the population doesn't know what it wants.

Submission + - Dark Side of the Rainbow? Try Planet of Lebowski! (grandmjm.com)
donut1005 writes: Yesterday I posted on my podcast blog about something cool I found. After watching The Big Lebowski many time over the last decade, and listening to Minus the Bear's Planet of Ice, I found matching many matching elements. So, inspired by the infamous Dark Side of the Rainbow, I played The Big Lebowski with audio down, and turned Planet of Ice up. To quote The Dude, "I've got information man. New shit has come to light."

M.U.L.E. Is Back 110
jmp_nyc writes "The developers at Turborilla have remade the 1983 classic game M.U.L.E. The game is free, and has slightly updated graphics, but more or less the same gameplay as the original version. As with the original game, up to four players can play against each other (or fewer than four with AI players taking the other spots). Unlike the original version, the four players can play against each other online. For those of you not familiar with M.U.L.E., it was one of the earliest economic simulation games, revolving around the colonization of the fictitious planet Irata (Atari spelled backwards). I have fond memories of spending what seemed like days at a time playing the game, as it's quite addictive, with the gameplay seeming simpler than it turns out to be. I'm sure I'm not the only Slashdotter who had a nasty M.U.L.E. addiction back in the day and would like a dose of nostalgia every now and then."

Same difference.
(Which is a phrase I never understood. If two things are different in the same way, aren't they not different but instead similar?)

I remember you could do a trick in Sim City for the SNES where you would pan and move the cursor at the same time, and if you released the button at just the right time the cursor would go off the map. Go far enough off the map and you would find a mutant version of your original map that you could manipulate.
