probably why I included 'if' at the beginning of that, because it clearly doesn't apply to everyone, but the data says it applies to almost everyone. 'It' being social programs that people take advantage of but do not self-identify as users, and 'almost everyone' being literally almost everyone.

Now take everything you just said and imagine if those engineers were building public infrastructure like hospitals and schools or were researching how to cure disease or improve the lift efficiency of our rockets. Or even just designing a new shuttle considering we no longer have one.

Damn dude, i think you just wrote a couple pages in my upcoming technodystopian screen play. Or a scene from the next Die Hard, either way, pretty bad ass.

Thanks for making me depressed about the future of my country and the world it still somehow dominates right before I go to bed!

So, what you're saying is, is that if LulzSec target selection was ideologically balanced, including both conservative and liberal organizations, this would somehow impact the moral or ethical implications of what they are doing? In other words, they should attack liberal targets because they're attacking a…

Yes, yes, and yes. I don't general advocate mob violence and terror, but I'd make an exception here, tear. it. down.

Speaking of underrated and or unnoticed space horror, what do you think about Event Horizon? Pandorum seems to bear a few similarities.

Thanks! Possibly my favorite thing is to discover unnoticed sci-fi horror/action, especially if space is involved. I actually remember the previews for this now, didn't the movie have some trouble with the release date or a similar problem? Seems like there were issues getting it to theaters.

what movie is that from?

I went to a launch at Cape Canaveral when I was 16, it was awesome. I hope, very much so, that I get to see another.

haha, first because I was anonymous, now because I am desperate. One of hangs onto interpretations the other keeps inventing new ones. So we're both assholes, whatever. I'm done with this.

Oh man, you got me, its the anonymity, thats why theres a picture of me chugging whiskey in taiwan as my icon. My name is Devin Howard, 26 years old, born in California, grew up in North Carolina. UNC Chapel Hill undergrad, UNC Greensboro grad, now living in Beijing with girlfriend because for someone with humanities…

nope, didn't say anything about law, just said I was letting it stand, as in, I will not rescind my original comment.

well, seemed like a nonchalant dismissal of the piece, so my douchebaggery stands based on how the comment was perceived, not how it was intended.

You're right, the idea existed beforehand so I can totally write off its successful and creative execution. What a dumbass this guy was.

I have no idea. I have a bunch of humanities degrees and none in computer science so my ponderings are really just from a geopolitical standpoint. Broad, thematic musings if you will. The goverment has done all kinds of crazy things regarding "Total Information Awareness," using the internet as a way to predict the…

twilted, Im not going to address in depth everything you just wrote. Bottom line is: if Lulz truly is going to speak truth to power then I endorse their mission. I was merely leaving open the possibility that there is more to the Lulz group than is currently known.
