No, it was "DON'T FIST ANDROID GIRLS".
You may want to google the warning sticker.

There are rules in the UK to ensure you don't kill anyone.
How does that work then? Seriously...
Why the hurry though. It's not like the product is gonna disappear or run out on Sunday.
It's like these red "SOLD" stickers put up untidilydiagonally in an artsy way on panels in gardens to give the impression the real estate agent was in a particular hurry (implying sales are awfully brisk) when the market is practically titsup and festering.
You forgot "Al Nusra (prisoner liver-eating)" and "Al Nusra / CIA supported" (recently eliminated by Al Qaeda), "Al Qaeda / Saudi supported with CIA weapons" as well as the "Internet Trolling Jewish Keyboarder Brigade pretending to be Al Nusra".
It's all a bit of a clusterfuck.
Hmmm.....
“Now, you didn’t get much in-suit training Earthside. We didn’t want you to get used to using the thing in a friendly environment. The fighting suit is the deadliest personal weapon ever built, and with no weapon is it easier for the user to kill himself through carelessness. Turn around, Sergeant.
“Case in point.” He tapped a large square protuberance between the shoulders. “Exhaust fins. As you know, the suit tries to keep you at a comfortable temperature no matter what the weather’s like outside. The material of the suit is as near to a perfect insulator as we could get, consistent with mechanical demands. Therefore, these fins get hot — especially hot, compared to darkside temperatures — as they bleed off the body’s heat.
“All you have to do is lean up against a boulder of frozen gas; there’s lots of it around. The gas will sublime off faster than it can escape from the fins; in escaping, it will push against the surrounding ‘ice’, and fracture it … and in about one-hundredth of a second, you have the equivalent of a hand grenade going off right below your neck. You’ll never feel a thing.
“Variations on this theme have killed eleven people in the past two months. And they were just building a bunch of huts.
Come to think of it, the suit doesn't need to be an insulator except for the boots, but you have to get rid off the body heat indeed. Best would be to scoop up some ice and make it gas out, taking the heat with it, right?
There is one on every ball-shaped object found in the Orion arm .... HOW MANY DID BOEING PRODUCE? DID THEY OUTSOURCE PRODUCTION TO RETICULEANS? WHAT ABOUT THE IP? WOULD AMERICA BE RICH BY NOW? THE COPYRIGHT LOBBY DEMANDS TO KNOW!!
On another tack, I grew up with the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" in my not-fully-processed-memes register and later (when I could fit together the disparate elements of written stories in my mind), with the book "2001: A Space Odyssey". The book really makes you appreciate the distances involved.
True dat.
I don't even know what kind of deranged mind would downvote the self-evident truth.
The PC market is done and so nineties-oughties. Dead as disco.
Once enterprises again centralize the "desktop experience" on to the blade server in the corner, that market too will be gone.
Well, I heard Visio has now full BPMN processing modeling with simulation included, so there may be a need for more CPU.
Meanwhile
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
"processor : 1, vendor_id : AuthenticAMD, cpu family : 15, model : 107, model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+, stepping : 2, cpu MHz : 1000.000, cache size : 512 KB"
Am I stuckist?
"I'm not sure what you want me to change."
How about some hope?
In time for 9/11: Looks like we are back at "cooked intelligence" and (somewhat earlier) Westmoreland's brazen lies about "everything in Vietnam is going extremely well".
Weird problems and incompatibilites with "HP" branded gear is nothing new (even though the actual company carrying that brand has mutated more than a Chernobyl chicken), our HP-UX PA-RISC boxen sometimes demanded a specialist be flown in at top dollar pricing to magically sneeze in the server room.
"Yes, Mr. Bond. These hundreds of hangars full of readily assembled fusion candles guarded by loyal leather-clad goons? Soon they will be lifted to orbit on my specially crafted private launch devices. The world will again see greatness. To terraform Mars! A great undertaking, Mr. Bond!"
DID GERMANY PARTICIPATE IN THE DESTRUCTION OF LYBIA WITH NATO AND THE VARIOUS LIBERVENTIONIST SICKOS AND GAYLORDS (among which frankly sinister types like Obama, Rice, Howard, Berlusconi, Sarkozy and Hillary) THAT LOUDLY TOOK TO THE MIKE AND BLOVIATED ABOUT "RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT"?
NO.
NOT A TRAITOR.
DOES GERMANY PARTICIPATE IN THE DESTRUCTION OF SYRIA WITH CIA UNDERCOVER OPS AND ISIS EMPOWERMENT WHERE LIBERVENTIONIST SICKOS AND GAYLORDS (among which frankly sinister types like Obama, Hillary, Erdogan, Bibi the player) ARE LOUDLY TALKING ABOUT "RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT"?
NO.
NOT A TRAITOR.
A honest-to-god illuminated Moonbase Alpha with an excavation site to the top right where surely ancient (and pan-galactic) evil is being unearthed under the unforgiving glare of plasma lamps by foolish explorers from beyond?
This is it, I tell you!
But how am I getting "trapped" in tools that I couldn't have had before, in which I can accumulate skills and know-how to move OFF the so-called trap?
On a similar tack, during the industrial revolution, starving peasants had the "choice" to stay put in the countryside or move into the "trap" of large cities and join the throngs working in industry. And so it went...
*** WE MUST PROTECT THE THINGS WE VALUE MOST ***
Freedom (We gave it up for a bit of convenience)
Liberty (We gave it up for a bit of safety by a guy in blue who is wont to choke you to death)
Prosperity (We gave it up by letting them go off the Gold Standard to pay for bombing Vietnamese peasants, then perform QE/Monetary Diarreha for the mansions of the few)
Intellectual Property (We pledge allegiance to the flag of Mickey Mouse and crack-sniffing MPAAers)
Personal Information (What is this I don't even)
I guess even George Orwell could not have imagined the cravenness. The title itself fits right into MiniLove sloganeering.
