Me and Mithril were talking about downtime and how when this server goes down it effects about 1000 people. We then moved to the question of a global EMP to removed all electronic tecnology and how it would effect everyone.

Would there was a button you could press to activate a global EMP, which would make all electronic devices stop working, would you press it?


I would, as i could become a King :)

Corrupt program now requires constant reboots and does not function at all in majority of instances. Designed with a web browser component to replace AOL, it has exceeded our expectations by being more crashy and unreliable and with worse tech support. We didn't think it was physically possible! A general product recall is advised; when it does function it seems to require background processes Girl 0.1Beta to stave off further crashes. Will someone PLEASE remove that code, and insert Backbone 1.9 in its place? That's assuming we even bother to continue this prog.

I wouldn't do it, I have a lot of friends I only know via the net and I really wouldn't know what to do all day without the comp and tv.

And off course on a more global scale, a huge load of people would lose their job. And a lot would die. And such.

:) Finaly, someone who knows the name of it. I was searching for the word Snake Plissken in vain hope to find the name of the film.
That was a good story, shame the film was so 90's style poor.

Evolution of the strong. Extinction of the weak.
Makes me think of Star Trek's Prime Directive "the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred".

Back at Ori, i WAS the dictator. Since we merged, i've been learning about this strange 'democracy' thing. Not my cup of tea at all.
