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. -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it."

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.

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? -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it." Thralni - "a lot of people are ... too weird to be trusted" Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

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. -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it."

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. -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it."

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.

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. -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it."

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.

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.
