  1. Money, Tech people, Slashdotters on How Do You Fund an OpenSource Project? · · Score: 1

    I'm 14 years old. I used to think I was going to have it easy. I thought I would easily get a high paying job, and never have to worry about bills. I started with a dream, and a vision. Now it's nothing. I have no creativity anymore, no movitation, except the money. I wake up every morning, I go to school, I come home, do whatever, hang out with friends, do my school work, go to sleep. I do this everyday. Somewhere within that "do whatever" I consider my future. ALL THE TIME. I'm always wondering where all the vision went. I no longer do the same computer work that I use to, now I am into electronics. Now I wonder how my future is going to end up. So much for that prodigy child guarantee to success(I'm 14). I invested $600 in Andover.Net at $71/share. Now it's at $31/share and it's lost hundreds of my money in value. I'm not complaining about my life, but I am expressing concerns that I think a lot of people feel: It isn't what it's cut out to be. I spent my entire elementary school life as a loner, worrying every single day about my own personal studies. I still do, except I hang out with friends, but now it's not about a vision, it's about making someone else happy. My fears grow worse every day, and I have to worry about all this on top of being a kid. Beleive it or not, the people who post here about these kinds of problems have it easy. This is the voice of a generation without the advantage you had. It's all been done on the Internet. My dreams are to shit, about as worthless as this very site to which I lost all my "venture capital". The technical revolution isn't great anymore. It's not what it was at the beginning.

    My apologies for this post, it's reality.

  2. The government... on The Feds' Ramsey Electronics Raid Blow by Blow · · Score: 1

    As far is this issue goes, I will say that the products offered are questionable, but holding the company responsible seems ridiculous. Guess who bred this generation that may misuse such educationally focused products? The people who don't like it. So deal with it. I feel very strongly about the government, in a very negative way. They invade our privacy on a daily basis. They do not take these products away from us because they want to protect us, they take them away so citizens can remain clueless. The government wants us all to be clueless cows, just drifting around, not concerned with their daily happenings and ways of business. In the end, keep your sense of humor or do me a favor and shoot yourself.

  3. Wolfenstein? on Ask John Carmack About Quake - or Anything Else · · Score: 1

    My question relates to Wolfenstein. I grew up playing this game and have always hoped I'd see a new release of it. I've always imagined a truly 3D rendered Wolfenstein on Linux. Do you plan on bringing new games about that are based around the same concept but with more realistic human characters?

    Thank you for your time.
