Platoon, a small indie film used it.

And the idea of the cave isn't that profound. Something similar was believed by many religions prior to Plato's life.

Besides the fact that I was horribly disaapointed with gameplay and it has the worst ending of any game ever created, I enjoyed it.

No, it isn't. Many indie films did it long before the Matrix.

There is more to philosophy than simply ontology. There's religous philosophy, linguistics, psychology, ethics, epistemology, etc.

I use Safari 90% of the time, as any Mac user should. Other than that I use Lynx and FireFox sometimes.

Most mail servers have some pretty blatant vulnerabilities. I've used a few to get into servers before (legally, I was fussing with my friend's server.)

I've read parts of "The Matrix and Philosophy" and it's mostly psuedo-intellectual crap, just like the movies are. Matrix is nothing but a poorly done allegory of Plato's "cave". If you want some...

Puppet government? Take a look at any of the other countries that have been invaded by the U.S. recently. They have all had puppets leaders like Pinochet, Noreaga, or the Contras. Anyone with a basic...

Who needs green trees when you've got green dollars?

NetNewsWire is my favorite.

"I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. Unlike my counterpart George Bush, I have no higher education and did not get admitted to Harvard nor graduate with an M.B.A "

Claiming Bush...

I know that, but his policies aren't that liberal. The CPUSA are just supporting him to get rid of Bush. I'm personally a member or the Socialist Party, which has it's own candidates, but most of us...

Vote Libertarian.

Regardless of whether or not there were WMD's, it was an immoral war, but that's not the point. Bush went in with not nearly enough troops. Even conservatives (Franks, Novak, Bremmer, and others)...

It was like watching a kid with cerebral palsy being beat with a cattle prod for an hour and a half.

Have you watched the news within the past 6 months? Many military strategists and political scientists suggest that atleast 200,000-300,000 troops, 3x the current numbers. I oppose the draft, as it's...

Post your favorite books of all time.

Mine:

- Being and Nothingness - Jean-Paul Sartre

I wasn't alive during the Chile conflict either, but it was essentially when the U.S. took out one leader (who many revered, many hated.) and put in one that was even worse and was nothing but a...

It will inevitably become a puppet government. Look at Chile, 1973.

With a puppet government?

I'm reluctantly supporting Kerry. He's not far enough to the left for me, but he's better than Bush. I would support Nader or the Socialist Party USA candidate, but my time is better spent with Kerry...

You could get a tutor, many schools offer them for free. You may also want to pay better attention, participate a lot, I found that helped me get it.

Another thing is to get some DVDs and set them...

I see it as my duty to use my "powers" to do things to people I don't like.

Nifty, it's the music from "Fight Club".

Anyways, while this is an interesting video, I know it's been debunked by many people. Not all of them are the nutty right wing patriots, either. Repected...

Yep. It's a great game. I played it for 200 hours before even starting the first mission.

Mine:

-Halo
-Deus Ex: Invisible War
-Shadowbane
-Morrowind 3
-Diablo 2
-Theif
-KOTOR

Sweden and Switzerland, they're the most liberal countries on the planet. I'm going there next summer.

I play it for Xbox, but my iMac isn't quite up to the challenge. I'm anxiously waiting the release of Halo 2.

One of our friends has a home in Florida and the roof had a tree through it, but fortunatly they were up in safe, dry Michigan.

I have one, but I don't generally use it. I got one just for the sake of getting one.

Mine:

-Fight Club
-American History X
-Green Mile
-Life of David Gail
-In America
-Dogma
-Stigmata
-Silence of the Lambs (A 3 in the series)

Are you in computer science? If so, what level of degree?

Finance is a great degree. My dad a finance degree and he makes $200,000+ a year. It also opens up options for many feilds and it looks great on all resumes. A finance degree and knowledge of a...

Finance is a good major, but it might be better if you got higher than a BS. One of my dad's degrees is a Masters in Finance and he's done extremely well.

I personally plan on getting doctorates...

I like this place, so I'm sure I'll be here for a while.

Don't tell George Bush, or computers will be filed under "evil-doers" and "terists".

I just entered 10th grade.

My first day was last Tuesday. I went from getting 14 hours of sleep a night to 5 or 6. Damn school.

I always like it when people fall when doing gymnastics or trip when running, but other than that I'm no big fan of any olympic events.

During my short foray into the world of 3D Studio Max I found this site was helpful, but you need a little a priori knowledge if you plan on doing the stuff. http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/tut3ds.asp
