psycho killer

"An entirely new arsenal of weapons, based on devices designed to introduce subliminal messages or to alter the body's psychological and data-processing capabilities, might be used to incapacitate individuals. These weapons aim to control or alter the psyche, or to attack the various sensory and data-processing systems of the human organism. In both cases, the goal is to confuse or destroy the signals that normally keep the body in equilibrium."

"This article examines energy-based weapons, psychotronic weapons, and other developments designed to alter the ability of the human body to process stimuli. One consequence of this assessment is that the way we commonly use the term "information warfare" falls short when the individual soldier, not his equipment, becomes the target of attack."

heartless

every few years i latch on to some interactive online game. for the last couple of days ive been playing hearts against other people at yahoo. im astounded at the how abusive and puerile some people can be. in the last game i played i was repeatedly cursed at and called a "stupid bitch" and "a fuck" by one person for a calculated risk i took in the first hand which backfired. that one move was enough to set someone off on a gamelong tirade. ill be the first to admit im capable of errors and that others have played 100s more games which might have sharpened their skills but these people are out of their heads. and its not that i cant get annoyed with sloppy play but the degree of vituperativeness others display is perverse, practically psychotic. now i remember why i usually stop playing online. these type of people ruin the fun. and dont even get me started on people who quit when theyre losing.
