I really don't have more to say. This is one of the scariest things I've ever read.

I'm having second thoughts about Butterfli's old siggy...

Hahahaha, oh wow.

I'll become a mind-controlled puppet before I use a piece of trash passing for a computer.

but mac's don't get hacks?
Or macs rhyme with hacks?

He's saying that it doesn't have to be a "hack" in order for the frequencies or whatever to control your nervous system. It could be a video or a live stream or anything on the net.

Because serious hackers don't bother with macs.

something like this isnt really legal to do in the us because when you flash shit on the tv, some people have seizures.

I think it's talking about single frame flashes more than flashing lights and whatnot. Instead of colors, I believe it's talking about things that are more subliminal.

[modular]

the patent is trying to develop a method to control humans by flashing patterns of light on skin. im certain the rate at which you have to change the light is too high to be legal.

it isnt anything more subliminal than colors because light is all they have to work with. how you arrange the colors makes the difference, but theres no secret EM wave that zaps ur brainz n kil ur wiil to tihnk 4 ursef :eek:

Might be unrelated, but I believe there was a method of advertising (subliminal advertising) that was outlawed in the United States and some other places. Flashed a message on the screen for a split second, and whatever it said, you would end up doing it. Some TV show ran a special on this and tried it with messages like "pick your nose" and "do jumping jacks"; it worked.

In which case...-gulp-

[Flaxative]

Boy, I thought this was on the patent on gene codes. That is quite unsettling as well.
