Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

That is absolutely a lie.

It's really loving telling of how detached that guy is from reality when he figures that four days after being given immortality, a 100 year old grandma will immediately forget her entire family, religion and life experiences to go live with a pedophile who murders her a whole bunch. And that the Palestine/Israel problem would be solved by giving every single Palestinian and Israeli their own planet where they're completely cut off from all contact with other humans. And that only computer scientists would try to get the Artificial Intelligence to do something it couldn't do. And that only Japanese people would kill themselves (what???????).

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

yeah it's like, a loving ancient site, has this particular super-rare strain of autist-nerd-troll that can only exist in harmony with its own kind, and is still slowly dying

poo poo was relatively poppin in late 90s, it was where the cool kids hung out instead of slashdot, which was already over

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
I love how video game addicts and lazy capitalists have taken a liking to the MMO gold market. It continues to impoverish those who would choose to give a Chinese gold farmer real money for a virtual currency that is produced, regulated and consumed by a single private company, (further) lessening their attractiveness to the opposite sex and keeping them out of the gene pool. And that, as Martha Stewart says, is a good thing. But wait, there's more! Every time these gangs of bored Chinese hacker/farmers attack each other, we get to bear witness to thirty-page whinefest poo poo posts on game forums across the globe because somebody's DESTROYING THE GAME ECONOMY (but you wouldn't complain until you couldn't play with them any more). True, it does go whitenoise after page 3, but the anger and poorly worded flames are always there for you to come back to, like a bowl of steaming chicken soup on a cold, blustery day.

This MMO-based economy has to stop, because we're looking at a full on Mountain Dew and Cheeto-fueled nerd ragefest the minute that Blizzard or Linden or whoever decides to devalue their ingame currency significantly or increase availability of 'pay to level' accounts. If you look at the level of inflation in these games, it's loving _astronomical_. I played an MMO for three years and saw the average 'template price' for a high end suit of armor and weapons go from 4 mega-woolongs to over 500 mega-woolongs due to the increased cash flow from carrot-on-stick expansion packs. Would you invest in any real market that had those numbers? That's not just inflation, that's 'Italy caught in between governments' inflation; 'burning rubles in wheelbarrows to stay warm' inflation.

P.S. Second Life is also a heap of overblown perverse poo poo and you know it, so stop convincing ignorant college deans and CEOs that virtual flying dicks and man-on-dog sex in shady e-discos are the next Amazon.com. I'm starting to get seriously loving embarrassed for all the middle to upper class white collars who are drooling over 'presences' in an environment that prides itself on giving furries, 'ageplayers' (aka pedophiles) and the mentally unstable an unrestricted sandbox to play in. I hope Linden has a gigantic retarded IPO with ticker tape parades and prime time news debates, so I can make a goddamned fortune shorting it when somebody breathes on that house of cards.
