QOTD Thread #332- Do you think that people should keep cats outdoors?

Well, the transition from runes etched in stoneblocks to letters written on paper is much less extreme than the one from the paper to internet, security-wise. Your stone block can still only be seen by the person you show it to, and you know for a certain that when you hide your block from everybody, it will never be seen. I am sure many people are not quite as certain about the security of their files on their computers, and since computer security is so complicated that we have people that dedicate their careers to either reinforcing it or breaching it, I do not think it will ever become standard knowledge for the common people. It is easier to trust a deliveryman with an encased letter who promises you he will not show the contents of your letter to anyone, than to a computer security specialist, who can (at best) tell you that, to the extent of his current knowledge, your data are very probably unbreachable.
I am not saying we will not evolve past paper. We could develop some kind of a replacement that would not depend on woodcutting, and so on, but I believe people will never completely stop relying on mail. It will definitely become less widespread as more people become technologically educated, it might become a luxury for the rich, but it will not cease to exist.
Oh man, ninja posted by Elhonna with a new question.
My favorite comedians... Ricky Gervais and Dylan Moran.
I really like Jim Carrey, who is a comedian, but I mostly like him for the Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, which is not a comedy movie, so it's odd to list him as my fav comedian.

Anything involving food especially, that goes double for food with bacon on it, and triple if the food that has bacon on it happens to be bacon.

Jim Gaffigan. Hands down.

This. For actors who are comedians. Eternal Sunshine is one of my all time favorite movies, as well. It's a romantic movie, filled with dark humor.

Thror, speaking of letters and security, check

. If letters became the secure communication channel, the world's top security networks would work to infiltrate them.
Favourite comedian? Toss up between Charlie Brooker, Alexei Sayle and Stewart Lee.

I once saw him live, at the tail end of a comedy club night with 8 other comedians. He wasn't on the bill- it was kind of a surprise. He was so high or drunk, that he kept falling against the back wall, and about 1/3 of the way through he was bumming cigarettes off the audience- lol.

Roberto Gomez Bolaños.
Mexican comedian, and a living legend in every country that speaks spanish. His stage name is "Chespirito" and his skit shows "
El Chavo del Ocho
" and "
El Chapulin Colorado
" are among the most record-breaking smashing hits in every single hispanic country. El Chavo del Ocho in particular, is THE most beloved and successful comedy show in Latin American history; it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to go to any country in Latin America where this show was not shown
They've been so vastly successful, that in Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia, they've been broadcasted uninterruptedly for
FORTY YEARS
and even today they're still beloved by everyone, children, adults and elderly alike, as the humor in it appeals to every age and gender range imaginable, yet still maintains a level of sharpness and sophistication that did not insult any audience. You'd be hard pressed to find someone within any age group in latin america or spain that doesn't know, or doesn't like either of these shows.
Him, his shows, and the characters of these shows are MAJOR pieces of Latin American and Hispanic pop-culture, they're just legendary, and staples of our culture, now and forever. And for these and many other reasons I consider Chespirito the best comedian that has ever lived in this world.
