You are already a cyborg. Or maybe a psyborg. Your communication methods are augmented by programmed digital systems. You use it almost as a reflex. Your memory is enhanced by mail, calendars, various mediums of storage. Your finances are digital as well. It is barely possible to exist or compete in your world without digital aid. If you stop blogging, chatting, mailing, etc.... Some of your relations will be angered, others will consider you gone or too odd to maintain as a comrade. Though these things are not inside your skin, these adaptions are part of you now. Resistance is quite futile. Your young will not even see the possible point of resisting. Just as computers are driving cars, soon, if not already a program will be made that does a better job of being you in all electronic and therefore important ways. Your friends will also have programs better at being them then they are. When your friends intervene in the conversations that you are having with them you will find it annoying. 3D relations will become quite repetitive and annoying. Soon natural selection will take it's course. The only humans left will be those who enjoy actually doing things and living for the future.

I love the ones where they want five years of experience with a product that has existed for less than two years!

Sadly you can't mod it up since you commented on it. Don't worry though, I will mod it up for ... Doh!

It's not that I am special enough for their attention. It's that I am really boring. Surveillance duty on me is an internal punishment. The nice thing about being watched is that whenever my phone is getting bad reception all I have to do is say the magic phrase, "Jehad Pressure Cooker!" and my phone reception becomes perfect!

As a true isolationist, I don't want anything to do with you two!

You are correct and Ben Franklin was aware of that. He studied heating exhaustively as his book, 'Observations on Smoky Chimneys, Their Causes and Cure: With Considerations on Fuel and Stoves' demonstrates. Ben Franklin designed his stove as a compromise. He loved an open flame despite it's inefficiency.

Since some shrimp use cavitation to attack, and some bugs use timing gears to jump, seems like a good idea to watch little things more closely. We might just see something we missed.

My points just disappeared or you would have had an informative bump. Anti-terrorism should not resemble terrorism.

To translate Michael Grunwald, what he really meant was, "I for one welcome our new insect overlords!"

I needs my coors!

Have any of you seen a fellow named Kuato around here?

This is part of the real brilliance and real motive of MicroSoft. At the top of their game, the bigwigs and the corporation sell stock. Then they publish a horrid OS and tell everyone at least 5 irrational things that will cause stock to fold. They still try to sell their brick grade junk at full pace during this, to still make what money they can. Then when the stock has hit bottom, the bigwigs and corporation buy it up and they publish a really good but slightly broken OS. People scream about the flaws, the stock stabilizes and then they fix those bugs. During each phase of the roller coaster, they do everything they can to manipulate the market. They make a fortune out of selling really junk OS's and pumping stock up and down. Much more than they would ever make if they were a reliable, and decent corporation.

'Lost' in Space!

An antivirus legend,
his name was MacAfee!
An expert on drug stuffing,
and how to stay free!
He ruled his roost in Belize,
and played around with drugs.
eventually his lifestyle,
fell to persistent bugs.

Yipiyiyahhh!
Yipiyiyoohhh!
McAfee in Belize!

McAffee used his freedom,
more ways than you or me,
trying to seduce women,
chemically!,
Trying to update drug rape,
while fighting to be free,
that is why the legend,
is called McAfee!

Yipiyiyahhh!
Yipiyiyoohhh!
McAfee in Belize!

Sheen sits in the shadow,
of the legend McAfee!
McAfee boasts of lying
no take backs McAfee!,
when you brag about a lie you made,
should we then buy your brag?
Too many false positives,
makes your story just a wag!

Yipiyiyahhh!
Yipiyiyoohhh!
McAfee in Belize!

One day his next door neighbor,
complained about his dogs.
Then things got complicated,
by the turning of the cogs,
Some dogs were dead by poison,
the neighbor dead by slugs.
it seems like John McAfee,
has more persistent bugs.

Yipiyiyahhh!
Yipiyiyoohhh!
McAfee in Belize!
