Seriously, the Terrans are probably the actual most powerful faction of three. Forget the Zerg, humans are the real swarm.

True. PETA's complaining about how Starcraft treats the Zerglings like animals - even though Abathur, a Zerg bug himself says that without a will they are naught but beasts. In any case animal rights is hardly an issue in a game where the dominion regularly uses biological, nuclear and chemical warfare on its own populaces to ensure victory.

"Nuclear launch detected."
"Zerglings evacuated."
"No medivacs left for civilians."

Aw yeah.

*EDIT

On review I don't think PETA should even be campaigning for animal rights with the Zerglings as their poster xenos. The Zerg seem to do just about everything the humans do to other animals - without any emotions or conscience.

Kinda reminds me of Ripley's first encounter with the Alien Queen from Alien - you see the Queen ironically treating her like an animal, albeit a dangerous one.

PETA, I love you so much. Don't ever change you loonys.
 
I bet not even long-time PETA-ers will take this seriously. I mean, woah.

EDIT: I looked over at the actual PETA site, and they have no mention of it.

It's worth noting that Ripley is pretty much the only person who takes the Xenomorphs' intellect seriously, and is thus the only adult human survivor. All the others underestimate them in some way, like saying they built their nest inside the power plant because it is warm when in reality it forces the humans to use inferior weaponry lest they blow up the whole base, and claiming they couldn't possibly have known to cut the power when it would be most inconvenient for the humans, even when they did just that.

Ripley, on the other hand, survives her initial encounter with the Queen by accepting the knowledge of its intelligence and using that to know the Queen will back off if she threatens the eggs with a flamethrower.

Peta's self parody is hilarious. What's also hilarious is those who take these things (like this and the Pokemon parody) seriously.

No, the pokemon thing is perfectly accesible from their site, as is Mario Tanooki, Super Tofu boy, and "Breasts, not animal tests."

"Okay, I want you to just log off. Not shut down, just log off."

"Okay......shut down?"

"NO. LOG OFF."

"Oh...I already shut down."

Dear goodness it is like I am reading a Dillbert sketch. Were you talking to Dillbert's boss somehow?

[Owlbread]

I don't really like leaving computers logged off rather than shut down. It feels like the PC needs to sleep.

I just leave mine on all the time. Always. Forever. You don't even have to enter a password to unlock it if the screensaver comes up.

You do on our systems. Which people are fond of letting their password expire on while they're logged in. Which prevents you from changing your password, because the system says "Hey, you're logged in with invalid credentials. Fuck you."

So I just need them to log out and then back in, they'll get prompted to change pwd.
If they shut down, it takes 15-20 minutes to boot back up because they're obsolete pieces of shit with tons of encryption and start-at-boot software packages.

Cue RAEG FACE and me using my "I'm talking to you like you're a 3-year-old now" voice.

Clearly, you need to implement some kind of Russian Roulette-esq consequence for failing to follow proper procedure.

I do the same, but mine doesn't even have a screensaver. It just stays on.

Some to think of it do modern screens even need screensavers anymore?

My form of Russian Roulette would have five loaded chambers.

You better replace the revolver with a minigun.
