So it's almost 2010 and we still don't have moon bases or space elevators or flying cars or computer chips in our brains yet. I thought this was supposed to be the future, what the hell is wrong with this world? As far as what did happen -- if you've been comatose the past ten years then you missed the world economic crisis, the explosive spread of the green movement, the death of Arthur Clarke, the election of a [half]black man for US president, and the source code project. You might wanna check up on that junk.
On a more serious note, this decade sucked. With any luck the next one will suck at least slightly less. On that note I hope you all have an awesome New Years, party hard, be safe and prosper.
Cheers. :)

Looking around at the electronics we have, I wouldn't exactly say we didn't make any progress.
-
I get to spend the entire first year of the new decade in Iraq! :blah:
-
i expect 2010 to suck. i dont expect it to be any different from any other year.
-
No wonder I'm so depressed.... if you all say it's going to suck ... then it will suck. Hoping for a better 2010. BTW the new decade technically begins in 2011. And you know that is one year away from Armageddon.... again... until the next time it is but isn't Armageddon.
-
I for one am happy with having no electronic implants in my body. ;)
However, I do agree that the decade was quite effective at producing fail. Let's see: got kicked in the teeth multiple times at my old university, was unable to (as of this point) find a job (with the conveniant excuse that I'm a student... but I still have no job), have become enslaved to the financial institutions due to school loans, and have not done nearly all that I've wanted to do. Yes, I feel pretty much like fail. :(
However, on the bright side, it can always be worse.
Cheers, foos.

The Hell is wrong with you? :P
I, for one, would absolutely love having a calculator implant. Among other things, of course.
-
Need more implants.
Must become like SHODAN.

Only one more day of two consecutive zeros, then it's a thousand years wait. Twenty ten, the year jupiter explodes. . . .
And the decade started with two thousand and one as two thousand was the last year of the old millenium :nod:
Check out basic counting, 1-10, 11-20 etc. Also you're born at zero so technically everyones older than their current age :D
-
Well actually the whole damn thing was miscalculated and 0 was never accounted for so year 1 was like 32BC or something.
So frankly we have no fraking idea what year or day it is. Heck it's 4:20 AM and I'm wide awake so so much for biological clocks too.
-
I wouldn't worry. That's the time I get to bed most saturday mornings anyway.
-
time sucks
-
With all seriousness, we need more hours in the day. As it stands, 24 hours isn't enough for me to sleep, live and eat.
-
time sucks
Lunchtime doubly so.
-
Australia, bringing in the new decade! :D
-
Before I get tied up with snogging some random women I haven't met yet, just wanted to wish HLPs patrons a happy new gregorian calender penultimate solar orbit celebration day!
Bring on twenty ten and BP2, BP1 voice pack, Diaspora demo and possibly TAP demo. . . . :nervous:

Or even the newer INF and INFA. :nervous:
But yes, definately BP2. :D

When you're 19 years old, you're still a teenager. When you're 20, you're not. QED. :p
But seriously, so long as the count of years is an arbitrary number originating from the estimated time of a particular historical/religious event, why not just go with the more aesthetically-pleasing value for milestones? As far as I'm concerned, there was a year 0, the millennium began in 2000, and we enter a new decade tonight. Everything else can stuff it.
More importantly, here's to a less fail-tastic 2010!
-
Happy new year to everyone, 2010 is here!
-
Here too. Though I'm one hour late in posting it.
-
S thuhw up.

I for one have to wait approximately two hours until the next year sets in.
Though, ulike Dekker, I will not be sloshing drunk... :lol:
-
I'm hoping to get there eventually. :lol:
Still an hour to go. Damn you for being in the future, Dekker! D:
-
Quick! Get on an aircraft! You can go back in time!!!
...Well, in a way, at least... :lol:
-
So ****ing drunk, but happy 2010 from Indianapolis! And amazingly enough I'm still coherent!
-
I've spent almost 14 hours in 2010! I am not feeling much difference!

Happy New Year, everyone!

"ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE. USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE."

Yet we landed anyway and started the war which was going to be shown in 2015. . . . But never was.
In any case my head's stopped hurting and my stomach is settled back to a steadfast concrete resolute stronghold as opposed to a quivering mass of fetid jelly-like mush.
