This is progressive thought.

We do have a right to high cycle/bandwidth connectivity. Baby steps like Facebook will prove to be beneficial to us all. Most of us on slashdot are operators to a longer-term human condition.

Things here will trend to this end. This is how it will be. And in many years, we will all be connected in ways that you can not imagine today.

Eventually human consciousness will coalesce with computing technology. (which would have likely evolved without our involvement.) Only then will we see that the universe that think we exist in today is nothing but a forgotten abstraction to the process that created us.

If you disagree then you do not understand what I am saying.

You are reading this as a being in a nearly infinitesimally portion of the complex fabric of reality. You hardly exist - but you are connected to the whole. We are all of the same.

When you see your shadow on the sidewalk as you're walking on an urban street to get some stimulant at Starbucks, know that even the process of projecting your shadow is far more remote and more incomprehensible than anyone will ever comprehend.

(the reason WHY you're walking to starbucks at that moment exists on another dimension.)

Good for Spain and Finland for their "rights of broadband." Of course, the politico-leaders did this in some perceived self-interest, but the truth is: the did it because it was meant to be --

and it was all related to your shadow on the sidewalk, but it wasn't really.

That's how it is.

(obviously you can not impregnate a man. fuckings.)

Oh, lookie here.

Dr. Myrrvold - doing weird shit to poultry. That's worthy of thousands of minutes of REAL human life. To read something that one person thought was special, even though it's stupid and completely inapplicable to our living condition.

To the douche who made this is a headline: "Hello world, look at me! I am capable of using above-average vocabulary and grammatical syntax, by some genetic gift or process that I will never be aware of!"

Dude (dudette) -> circletimessquare, or whatever your real name is.

Does anyone REALLY give a shit?

I mean, really.

You need to stop projecting your insecurities onto us, and instead, realize that you're a worthy human being . Yes, even without trying to seem clever, distinct, and included to like-minded people.

Instead, why not spend your time at a bar and try to impregnate the hottest woman (or man) you see? Spread your genes along with beauty, and improve the human condition. If you're too fearful to do so, then realize that your perceptions are an illusion, and even the stupid jock fucks realized this a decade+ before I mentioned it here.

You are not alone. Be yourself. We are like you, and love you as you are.

As long as you let Dr. Myhvold do whatever the fuck he does to his ducks in private. What he does behind closed doors is his business, even if some large PR firm or corporation wants to promote something to sell.

(I hate geek culture. Fuck you all, in a sincere and appreciative way. You are not empowered by your intellect. Accept that and play the game, and know that the stupid fuck jock will win sometimes.)

The much touted eHarmony/Chemistry.com N dimensional matching stuff is pure horseshit.

It appeals to the moronic masses who believe in stuff like Astrology, or new age religions. You might be shocked to hear that usually these are women.

These systems are designed to precondition potential matches into thinking that some mystical, all-knowing, compassionate sentient computer brain has made the perfect match made in heaven.

"Well, shit, I spent three effin hours filling out eHarmony's wanna-be MMPI-2 by 'Dr' Warren ... and the system didn't even reject me! I'm suitable, and there must be some validity to this."

(next time, I probably shouldn't lie to eHarmony about my possibly kinky autoerotic asphyxiation fantasy, or that thing about small rodent insertions.)

The point is, after a match is made on eHarmony (or Chemistry,) people go into the first date believing that there is a higher probability of the relationship being successful. The time is no longer completely fearful, but actually there is some mystery and *gasp* optimism about it.

And that, my pale, geeky friends, is the magic behind these heinous systems. Follow the yellow brick road.

I have much, much more to say on this topic, but I'll save the rest for some other time. peace out.

Hereby I declare:

Ericksson does not supply a murderous and suppressive theocracy with telecom equipment.

Therefore, Erlang != Evil.
