I love Wikipedia. You do find some errors on it, but the fact that anyone
can edit the content means this is an easy problem to correct.

It has been a fabulous source of information for me over the last few
months - don't know what I would have done without it!

Dearie me. Did someone get up on the wrong side of bed this morning?

Since when does liking a web site count as not having a life?!?

There are people who equate having an internet connection with not having a
life.

No, he doesn't have a life, and doesn't care.

Heh, not like you need an Internet connection to lack having a life;
grad school has been doing wonderously for me (been mostly 13-15 hour
days for me the last few weeks *sigh*)

>PS and feel glad I repressed the instinctive Matrix joke...)

Well, that would be a case where being OFFLINE is when you don't have
a life - literally .

When one states that one doesn't know what one would have done without a particular
website one opens oneself up to such comments.

ps what instinctive Matrix joke?
pps not having seen the Matrix (equates with having a life) you may have to explain it
(yes it takes most of the fun out of it but that's life!)

There's a difference between not having a life, and depending on a website
for information. If it weren't for news sites, I'd have no idea about
current events; I dislike newspapers (more correctly, reporters) a lot, I
don't watch TV (I don't even own one; my PS2 is plugged into a TV-tuner card
and display from my monitor), and I haven't bothered to get any magazine
subscriptions because I'm almost always broke (college does that to ya) and
I usually change apartments every year.

Thus, while I read some websites daily, I wouldn't say I don't have a life.
Well, yea I would...but that'll end, temporarily, once the semester's over.

That everyone should know now that if you don't have a 'net connection, you
aren't alive. (As Mike stated.)

Assuming you know nothing of the Matrix, the deal is that humans created
machines that used solar power as a primary power source, started a fight
with machines, "scorched" the sky to keep the machines from getting power
(released something into the upper atmosphere that blocks all light).
However, the machines figured out that if they captured humans, rigged 'em
to life-support, they could draw power to them. However, humans don't work
well as batteries if they're screaming in terror, etc, so the machines
created a virtual world--the Matrix--to control 'em. All the same, a few
get loose, blahblahblah.

The main point of the joke is that if you're removed from the Matrix without
proper preparation, you die.

They're alright movies, with some rather nice special effects and fight
scenes, but not all that great beyond that. The best thing, I think,
would've been to find some humans (the elite from the war-period, maybe)
controlling the whole shebang, a few other tweaks. And a slightly less
insane villian; I like logical, stable villians. IMO, the harder they are
to hate, the better they are as villians.
