You can't be bothered by the availability of knowledge: anyone that wants to find out WILL do so, Youtube or not. And, any video that shows security measures inevitably also shows weaknesses in the same security measures.

 

You ought to be more concerned about an organization with too much power (TSA) and the upbringing/intentions of others.

Seth is one of the few who turns up to class and stays there. However, he sits up the back, arranges his pillow just so, turns on his digital recorder, and lights up a joint for the duration. Sometimes he drops off to sleep.

 

He is definitely one to party hard. In fact, despite his deceptive sleepy appearance, he is one of the party animals on campus. He'll inhale, drink, snort, or eat virtually anything likely to give him a high; his tolerance for alcohol and other substances is legendary. And his carefully cultivated bushes of Panama Red (in pots on the balcony of his dorm room) have a distinct following among his friends.

 

However, he can also be found in the gaming scene. While he isn't an avid gamer (or even a very experienced one) and sometimes needs to be told which die to roll, he's always willing to stay awake till all sorts of odd hours (especially if he's dropped a bit of speed) and put his characters into all sorts of weird situations. He doesn't have a favourite system; in fact, when he's good and stoned, he can't tell one from the other. But to be honest, he doesn't care. It's a social situation, and he enjoys it.

Viimeisten kuukausien ajan Baiven on ollut rosvolaumojen ja barbaarien tiukassa puristuksessa, samoin kuin moni muukin Kruunun lääni. Sota oli nostanut ruman päänsä jälleen kerran Galdrian historiassa, kun Fajetin langennut valtakunta kävi nyt tämän kanssa uutta kiivasta taistelua Pohjois-Mantereen valta-asemasta. Sodan ja laman vaikutukset olivat innostaneet kaidan polun kulkijat keräilemään lisäravintonsa maanviljelijöitten ja kauppamiesten suista. Lääninherroilla ei ollut kelpoiset oltavat; jotkut jopa joutuivat jakamaan omista rahapusseistaan pitääkseen nääntyvät kansalaiset hengissä!

 

Torew näki tilanteensa vielä pahempana. Alkuperäinen lääninherra, Kreivi Barimbatur, oli ollut jo kauan matkoilla hoitamassa valtion asioita; Hän kun oli korkea-arvoinen sotaministeri, sekä Hopeakilven Pyhän Ritarikunnan pääkapteeni. Torew oli käytännössä joutunut hoitamaan kartanon asioita sekä valvomaan Baivenin tilannetta jo siitä lähtien kun hänet ensimmäistä kertaa palkattiin edellisen varakreivin lähtiessä eläkkeelle.

Kun kiireistä Kreiviä ei näkynyt, alkuun Torew oli luulenut osaavansa työnsä tarpeeksi luistavasti; silloin ainakin kun kaikki muutenkin hoitui ikään kuin itsestään hänen vain siemailessaan lempiviiniään.

Mutta vaikeuksien edessä Torewilla ei koskaan ollut tarpeeksi itseluottamusta eikä asiantuntemusta saattaamaan vastoinkäymisiä päätökseen, kuten ei ollut myös nytkään.

If it wasn't bad enough some yokel sends me e-mails from a vague address (John Smith?) about going through my entire image gallery and give pictures low star ratings, they began sending death threats as of this evening. Really classy. It just goes to show you how bold and possibly insane some people become behind the safety of anonymity.

 

For everyone else that actually enjoys what I do, thanks. I'm not going to be discouraged by their actions.

Look at your comment. Back to mine. Back to yours. NOW BACK TO MINE. Sadly, it isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate crap it could LOOK like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, finding the ones that your comment could look like. Back at mine, what is it? It's a highly effective counter-troll. Look again, MY COMMENT NOW HAS MANY THUMBS UP.

Anything is possible when you copy and paste.

 

I'm on a PC.

Except that, now, on any Sunday afternoon, in an empty downtown, you will notice that bunches of milling people stand on the corners, waiting, cow-eyed, for the little walking signal to allow them to cross the street. They stand there like herds in the rain; no cars coming; no buses; nothing. They don't even bother to look anymore. When the walk sign says go, they go. Automatons, robots; in the name of safety, we've trained ourselves like obedient little poodles. But what choice do we have--there is a fifty or seventy-five dollar ticket if the police catch us walking across an empty street (revenue collection and safety-first go hand in hand). Is this logic?

Someone from another planet would wonder.

 


  • 'Why don't those people just cross the street, Commander?'
    'Waiting for permission.'
    'From whom?'
    'The blinking sign.'
    'I thought all urban earth children were taught to look both ways by their mothers?'
    'They were. Doesn't matter anymore.'
    'But there are no cars coming!'
    'They don't know that.'
    'Why?'
    'They're too busy looking at the blinking sign.;
    'This place is nuts, let's get outta here.'
