Freud, popularity notwithstanding, knew from an early point in his career that sex sells. Hardly a surprising focus for his career, and many others have followed in his footsteps. I daresay there are many other parts of the subconscious that get short shift as a result.

Alex - I have no clue what you are trying to do, but ef seems to have some clue. You would do well to listen to her. I don't need to have my news stations start talking about the weird kid from Utah who bends soccer balls like Bucky.

Yeah I was already aware of the issues with Facebook, and the connections between it and everything.

The thing is, there are only a handful of men and women that sit on the BoD of the Fortune 500. I mean, one guy might sit on 10 or more boards of different companies. That is just how it works. It didn't surprise me at all, and it shouldn't surprise you, that the US government is interested in technologies that gather information and analyze it. If the CIA is going to use this technology to break up terrorist/counterfeit/drug networks without endangering agents that currently have to infiltrate them, I'll sign right up. I'll tell them how I network, and gladly volunteer that test data.

Because they aren't monitoring you, or me, or even Alorael. Yeah, he's on facebook too. They are analyzing how we interact even after we establish friendships. They are analyzing the tools we plug in to our page to see how networks can function. This gives them levels of analysis based on hundreds of thousands of iterations, using real people.

So freak out, be paranoid, and protect your private information from people you don't want it seen by. But relax about the Feds. We are already citizens, and there are really no chances that there is going to be any kind of non-parliamentary overthrow of our government any time soon. There is no threat.

And lay off the partisan politics. Please. There are enough things that divide us already without adding that to the mix. How about we concentrate on that which joins us together. Wouldn't that be nice?

Fast food is crap. I never eat it.

That said, purely from an emotional standpoint, the original Burger King in Illinois would have to be my favorite. Their lawyer only trademarked the name in-state, which is why the other BK is the multi-national.

Exactly. Currently they are of much higher quality.

The scripts are about the same. Some excellent, some good, and a lot of junk. It's just with the older movies, well, they don't re-release the junk so there is a perception that old=good.

Oh howaboutnot. :rolleyes:

If you don't care for what someone is saying, then ignore it. If it seems like gibberish, ignore it. Remember what they say about feeding the trolls? Well, if the mods figure that Nija is being a detriment they will take action. Otherwise, the only action you can take is to ignore him.

I'm sure the direction this conversation is taking is a great advance for Vogel's business model. Forum based discourse with a human based system with the conversational aptitude of iGod. How nouveau. If only they could update the software to include some sort of emotional response.

I think it would be funny if he released the finals in both Geneforge and Avernum and then, after a suitable pause to work out the bugs, dropped the forums completely. Unexplained absence would only heighten the anticipation for his next stage.

I think most of the recent blow-ups have been provoked. Those from early '06 were mostly self-induced.

I'll go ahead and insult Mac Classic, since I haven't yet seen it done in this thread, and it needs to be made whole.

Mac Classic is a big jerk.

There. That feels better.

Um. They're anthomorphizing pictures of cats. How would PETA care about this? I mean, I suppose an idiot advocate might get their feathers in a bunch, but honestly there is nothing here that suggests that animals are treated unethically. If anything, by humanizing them, this may lead to more ethical treatment.

There are many. It is all situation dependent. This one was correctly identified as inappropriate. But yeah, the list of appropriate displays is much longer than that of inappropriate displays, which is why they are usually noted as such.

We could do pictures?

That's cool, but if my parents knew I was meeting a man I met on the Internet...

Yeah, nothing meant by it. I'm sure my wife would wonder too.

Which brings up a whole different thing. What do people actually talk about when they meet? I know Marlenny has met a few of us, and currently there is a little meetup going on in Tempe, so perhaps they can shed some light. I've met folks before that I had met on the intarwebs, and we didn't end up being all awkward, but I don't know if that is normal or not. So, anyone?
