Whee. Little bit of a misconception going on here, Vuldari. If you have unrestricted physical access to a machine, no software security really matters. This is what people like security guards, and things like locks are for. On the other hand, if you don't have physical access to a machine, an ideal...

Heh. This sort of thing always amuses me. If anything, I'm now interested in buying the aforementioned south park DVD, and I've never really held any interest in the show (or TV in general for that matter). I wonder if they realize that they're only digging themselves in deeper with this. Then again...

No, firefox should display it fine. I viewed it in firefox on /linux/, and if that works you should be fine. What version of flash do you have? Most recent is 8, I'm running 7.0.61.

Agreed. I saw this recently, and am really looking forward to it, perhaps even as much as Oblivion. The pure flexibility and use of procedurals is amazing. I wonder how they'll select creatures/objects/etc to redistribute.

Agreed. If you can't fix it, and it's so demonstrably significant a thing, back up any data (DATA, not programs) you can't live without and reformat, reinstalling from scratch. Windows users should do this every year or two anyway.

From my perspective, a bullet is a bullet. Doesn't matter much where it came from once yer dead. I'd rather /fight/ a human soldier, because his/her aim wouldn't be as good. Unless I had some sort of EMP or radio interference generating device on hand.

The Asimov law thing really isn't important. For one thing, it's supposed to apply to AIs, not relatively simple automated systems. Also, they've been demonstrated to not be perfect; there are ways around them, and there are even scarier things that could happen by following them.

Witch-crazes can happen anywhere, anytime, because people can be idiots. It's not confined to little country hamlets, either, a witch-craze can happen in urban environments too. Again, because people can be idiots. It's funny how half the reason that works is because noone expects it to happen. As ...

I've been accused of similar things, though no one's actually tried to hurt me over it. They're afraid of me. I don't know why, but they are.
Heh, that sounds fun to deal with. Probably caused by paranoid people and your being relatively 'odd.'

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I'd be very surprised to see something intentionally werewolfish from that era and a 'civilized' area.
