Why the fuck does every device on the planet need a fucking computer built in to it? The goddamned projector for this silly demo has a fucking hard drive in it, and occasionally locks up to the point where you can't turn it off without physically disconnecting wall power. It also decides to reject input on a given port because I haven't yet turned on the device plugged into the port, but the device won't send output via its VGA interface unless it detects a monitor, which it can't do because the projector wants to be smarter than the user. I don't want what should be a simple fucking analog interface trying to be intelligent, I just want it to wait around until I send it a fucking signal. I'm sure someone, somewhere thinks they've done something cool. I'm going to find that asshole, then I'm going to demonstrate the fine points of how ballistics work, using their skull as a reception platform.

.. and since you're ranting, let's all rant back at you.

I'm going to find that asshole, then I'm going to demonstrate the fine points of how ballistics work, using their skull as a reception platform.

Bah. Its people like you that ensure that things never change. If you demonstrate how ballistics work using their skull as a reception platform, you have done the (admittedly not-inconsequential) job of removing defective genes from the gene pool but not necessarily improving the existing ones. These stupid humans fuck around like nobody's business and random removal of bad genes isn't going to cut it. If on the other hand, you had said:

"I'm going to find that numbskull, then I'm going to demonstrate how ballistics work, using their asshole as a reception platform for a fine point", then you have ensured that there is a powerful learned stimulus that will ensure autocorrection for the future and potentially clean up the acts of maybe one more generation. *Then* my friend, you will have achieved shit-loads more and we will sing hosannas to your name even as we name all our male progeny James (with appropriate version numbers to distinguish between them)...
