When you try reverse-engineer the Martian Heat-Ray and use it in civil engineering.

Reads traffic signs, hunh? Nice: pop up a fake sign with a 2km/h speed limit in the middle of the autobahn and watch the nice pileup as the first car screeches to almost a halt and the following ones - heavy trucks hopefully carrying flammable materials - crash into the contorted metal. Marvel at the huge fireball! Rejoice at the screams of the trapped motorists! Smile at the crowds marching through the streets at the cry of "STOP MURDERING OUR KIDS!". Cheer as the police first fire tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowds, then resort to real bullets as the lives of the powerful are endangered. Laugh mirthfully as the crowds tear the police apart with axes and knives. Enjoy a cold one as the cities burn. Apocalypse feels good and, above all, smells good.

And what? What exactly happened after Datagate or Cablegate? Nothing. This isn't the 1930's anymore: you would have expected Europeans dragging US citizens living in the EU from their beds, stab them through the eyes, douse them with petrol and set them on fire in the streets at the cry of "Death to the yankee untermensch! Heil Europe, ruler of the world!" but it didn't happen. The "reaction", if it can be referred as such, is of resignation. Yes, government always spy on each other, but this time entire populations have been marked for surveillance and marked as "enemies". Again, if the EU had any spine, any US citizen living there would have been deported and his goods confiscated, NATO would have been disbanded and all US troops disarmed, arrested, detained as enemy combatants pending deportation. While the US can militarily destroy Europe (unless it allies with Russia), its economy would be destroyed as well. I think it's a small sacrifice to make to behold millions of euro-peons and millions of muh'reecans slaughtering each other with knives, axes and 2x4s. Think of the mighty bloodshed! It would be AWESOME.

There are two possible outcomes: 1 - the average person with no useful commercial value is exterminated or 2 - the large masses of average persons exterminate the ones that made them commercially useless. In no circumstances whatsoever those average persons simply lay down and die. It's only a matter of time, the amount of violence will be staggering and the sheer bestial quality of it will be an awesome sight to behold.

That's what real hacking is all about: getting one's hands dirty and making do with available resources, ending up with a result that's more than the sum of its parts. That's a real jock's job. A nerd would have given up without even trying and then would have made up some lame excuses. Can't wait for their pocket cinema rig.

What we need is a 0DS. That would make a point.

It tells a termightillion about the supposed "intelligence" of slashfuckers that so many loserboy nerds have seen it fit to respond to this turdbrained troll. Your faces are now brown with all the shit that has been falling on it like a smelly hailstorm of feces.

No. Why? Actually, I would like for the poster to try and make good on his laughable, empty threats. Were he not the cowardly turdbrain he is, I'd love for him to come about. That way I could grab him by his scrawny neck, bash his head against the wall, twist his arms so hard he couldn't jerk off for, like, forever and stomp on his minuscule testicles with my boots. And then I would shit on his face.

Go to jail? Actually no: why do you want to go to jail? Do you like it in jail?

Old-school "dreck" is dead, and the world is better for it. The new version is actually almost watchable, and people have already forgotten about the dreary TNG-verse. Abrams' Dreck is now the only Dreck. Get over it. :)

LOL. The "british people" cheered the assassination of the innocent Brazilian citizen Jean Charles de Menezes. They will support the Buffoon Cameroon, like the good subjects they are. Cordon off hooliganland, blow up the Eurotunnel and let the little island die.

The Guardian sue Lord Buffoon from Cameroon, servant of the stool of the High Lord Bonobo? Traitor! Racist! How do you dare suggest that! Repent, republithug, or the terr-ow-reests win! Heil Bonobo! /s

Miscreant! Racist! Don't you know that anyone who has displeased the Mighty and Fair Lord Bonobo is not to be considered human? Repent! Go to the street dressed in sack cloth and scream "Heil Bonobo!" until your throat bleeds! Or are you a republithug?

It's in your ass. Shit it out.

You underestimate UK (and Argentinian) nationalism in the era. The UK would have taken back the Falklands at any price, and both the British and the Argentinian populace was fully in support of the war. "Bring our boys home" is strictly an American thing.
