 Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | If I knew why they were collecting this data and if they would ask my permission to do so with the right to terminate this data-acquisition at any given time without having to give any reason I would be happy to help them out too... If Gator were to send me a survey where they ask me which sites I frequent and so on I would have no qualms answering it truthfully... The could even have some of their spyware running if they asked me first and placed it in the system tray so I can shut it off when I need more bandwith and cpu-power... No problem with that... It's just the fact that they do all this without asking and are thus invading my privacy... That is the fact that ticks me off... ----- "In theory, if people bred as fast as ants, and with an equal indifference for it's surrounding species, earth would have 5 million human inhabitants at the turn of the century.

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | By asking me to agree on this I obviously don'y mean the EULA... they have to send me a mail (personal or auto-generated) and wait for my reply before doing anything at all ----- "In theory, if people bred as fast as ants, and with an equal indifference for it's surrounding species, earth would have 5 million human inhabitants at the turn of the century.

 Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | Well, after looking at that All Your Base Are Belong To Us video time and time again, I must say it's very entertaining, but what's it supposed to mean? For instance, what's Zero Wing? Is it an old game from which the intro animation is taken? And did this Zero Wing really contain the phrases "All your base are belong to us" and "What happen? Somebody set up us the bomb"? What is the origin of this phrase and why am I being convinced to "Take off every zig for great justice", is it a rolling paper commercial or what? Anyone who can fill me in on this is welcome to do so ...

 Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | Zero Wing is an old video game from Japan, thus the bad translation. And yes, that is the real text from the intro - without anything left out, added or changed. What it is about? That is the big question ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | Just to say that the mysteries of zero wing have been revealed to me. Best game ever (at least for 5 minutes or so, then it gets rather tedious) but the music sure is good... ----- "In theory, if people bred as fast as ants, and with an equal indifference for it's surrounding species, earth would have 5 million human inhabitants at the turn of the century.
