I find your lack of imagination disturbing.

Maybe Droid developers. Meanwhile, the big studios are targetting the iPhone.

There is no such thing as a slow language.

There are only slow implementations.

Forget about batch files, unless all they do is launch better tools and nothing else.

There are many alternatives. You could go with Python, Perl, Powershell or, if you want it really really simple, small and powerful, use Lua. Package it with the app and people won't even notice it's there.

Plus, you can start it up with an one-line batch file, if you want that nostalgic feeling.

Just because most of these scams originate from Nigeria and other african countries. People from the african subcontinent tend do be... black. You do the math.

What, you expected to see a gallery of busty nordic women?

And X-Com reverse-engineered alien craft.

That's what I thought, then I remembered the element is Elerium 115, not 117.

Yes, we should suspend belief from the world around us. But not from the world around the friggin movie.

Granted, it might be possible to design a virus for alien computer systems. Maybe if we spent a lifetime studying them we just might be able to compile a Hello World. Now, to do that in less than a day, bypassing whatever countermeasures they may have, with the assistance of people who had an alien ship for decades and couldn't figure it out... if you don't call that a stretch, I'm not sure what it is.

Yes, Linux distributions will release new packages.

*Because* Windows has no packages, it can't do the same.

So you are seriously arguing that those huge downloads from Microsoft are actually binary diffs? They are not.

Such as... aliens?

You had him *replace* a harddrive because of malware?

Gravitic propulsion, allowing us to build UFOs.

I predict it will be called Elerium.

... one cannot have 100% EM and thermal resists.
