I've always had qualms about the attention argument. If they wanted attention, they would hold a bank up with hostages and get someone *else* to shoot them on TV or something.
Attempted death by Tylenol strikes me more as poor judgment than 'attention getting.'
people don't remember it's a gimmick. Take the extreme amounts of blood in Mortal Kombat. That was *extremely* gimmicky when it came out. It's just people were too busy thinking 'Whoaaaa bloood' or 'Omg video games should be banned!'
Nonsense. Your genetic datas was probably already overly corrupted from coke and coffee. I do not want to see the body parts they may grow from it and attach to you unless you have already had the appropriate gene therapy and enough crest whitening strips.:3
It's pretty obvious the kids coming out of school will be drilling these old timers into the ground. They don't have the education to back them up and are essentially children.
I would dare say 3D filming isn't hard in itself. It is the blind forcing of 2D effects into 3D and making them not give headaches hard. The directors are hammering a screw.
The problem with treating the constitution as something holy and unchanging is that this isn't 1787. It seems ludicrous to me to be obsessing about what the intent of the "founding fathers" was and using their will as an absolute basis for everything to follow. At a certain point that becomes it own quasi-religion.
InfiniteWisdom, this means you are saying some things indirectly. One of them is that rules are made to be broken, not fixed or amended. The US government is going into lawlessness which can only result in ruin in the long run. You are also indirectly calling Europeans fools and also would like a world government. Obviously Europe shows what a failure a number of small independent countries is, right?
Looks mostly like Sun/Oracle have just pushed for Java to always stand for "write once, run anywhere." Not write once and hope all the core libraries are available.
I do not see the misrepresentation anymore than how something that isn't ANSI C should not' be called ansi C. They are muscling using their patents much like Firefox muscles their trademark though.
Mosaic: Mosaic was open source originated at NCSA labs, and IE was developed by original Mosaic staff.
Yes, but Spyglass threatened Microsoft with a contractual audit and got $8 million dollars out of the deal over Mosiac/Internet Explorer. Companies do not give 8 million dollars for nothing. Please read the wikipedia article and explain yourself better.
Java: Microsoft did not develop.Net, until Sun sued them for license issues, effectively stopping them developing on Java.... and others.
MS was not developing java. It was developing an incompatible Java implementation, which is not a Java implementation at all. Can you please explain why Apple hasn't had more problems with Sun when they made their own Java implementation? I look forward to this.
USB is also a show of how devices that offload their work onto the CPU are here to stay. Integrated graphics is just going to become more and more common slashdotters.:-O
Yes. But that is how all of these drugs are. Regardless, it is still generally classified as a stimulant though. The same exception happens with caffeine with some people, but people don't call it a depressant. The GP made a brought sweeping statement and people are backing him up for it. I don't know why.
Yup, that is the interesting thing. I've stated it somewhere else here already but, caffeine would help an old friend of my sleep. Don't think that changes the medication classification though.
For me there are 12,700,000 results for ritalin depressant and 501,000 retults for ritalin stimulant. The top results in both state that ritalin is a stimulant. What does this say?
Most people mistakenly think or wonder if ritalin is a depressant. No harm no foul. Just a bit a disappointment in the mods.
Now that that waste of time is over, I can get back to what I was going to say. (I'm talking about the guy you posted in response too. Not you.) I find it interesting that a friend of mine in high school said that drinking Mountain Dew before bed would help him sleep. I would think this is the same effect as Ritalin. The pieces come together.
Modders, please check something before modding it. Searching for "ritalin stimulant" and "ritalin" depressant" both come back with results saying that ritalin is a stimulant. Even Wikipedia says its a stimulant.
Is it just me, or did Netscape crash much much more on Windows than the Mac back in the day? I also had the feeling it was the same on Unix systems. What happened on Windows?
Your argument has a wider scope than you give it. Windows is "fashion safe". People buy it to be safe. It is like a generic pair of jeans. Linux is like fringe fashion for a lot of people that they would be embarrassed having in public.
When did parents stop telling their children wastefulness is bad and it became only a 'hippie' thing? Is this like one of those old blame everything on the Jews things so that people can do what they want without feeling guilty? Or was there some commercial on TV stating that if you use less than 5 tubes of toothpaste a day that you're a hippie that I missed?
A person writing your kind of message should be touting Facebook, not webmail in the 21st Century and that everything else is draconian. This is somewhat disappointing.
I believe the slashdot crowd has already debunked these people effecting the numbers numerous times. People who don't have a browser can't get a browser to get on the internet. Furthermore, this must have caused all of the nuclear plants in Europe to blow up leading the continent to a fate not unlike Atlantis.
And even in the unlikely event a there were number of refuges... the sample group would be too small for anything meaningful plus correlation does not necessary equal causation. Many would be likely using other people's computers that have had less radiation seep into them.
In conclusion, I think I can modestly speak for all of slashdot when I say 'hogwash'.
I believe you should play Segagaga for the dreamcast. From wikipedia:
While a variety of genres are included, as minigames or otherwise, Segagaga's overall structure is that of a console role-playing game. The game parodies the competition between the Dreamcast and the PlayStation 2, challenging the player to supervise the company and prevent DOGMA from seizing all market share.[1]
In the first section of the game, the player must progress through Sega's development studios and battle various employees. If the player is defeated, a month of development time is lost.[2]
It is quite interesting watching youtube videos of it.
Bullocks! Customers do have a right to this information! Companies can use the label to educate by just showing a comparison of how much radiation a person gets from:
Being outside in the sun for 30 minutes
Doing a 5 minute phone call
A 1 hour trip on a plane
Getting an x-ray.
If Companies cannot spin this, it is their own damn fault. Not the consumers. Information wants to be FREEEEEEE and this is an excellent way to *start* educating the public. With the precedent that Phillip-Morris set of hiding information, if the cell phone manufacturers fight this too hard, things will be much worse for them. They will appear to be hiding something regardless of the truth of the situation.
I bike most places and those moms in their SUVs are threatening my life every day.:-/ Even if I had a smart car, they would be putting me in extreme danger. I believe a lot of what a car is about is selfishness. How safe you can make yourself while putting other people in more danger while at the same time guzzling more gas, taking up most of the road, and acting like a general asshole about it at the same time.
Noticing is something someone chooses to do. Glossy screens have horrible color representation. They are the equivalent of if you stick a image of yourself over the main image with 30% opacity. That is just abysmal! I don't want my whites tainted with the colors of my fingers! If you want, I can calculate the hex value color difference so I can give you a percentage of how off the colors are.

You are on slashdot. Please take off your management hat and put on your engineering one. Thank you.
Why aren't they doing what broadway did? They can replace the musicians with synthesizers and record MORE music to protect copyrights.

And worst of all are inexperienced drivers. No one should be allowed behind the wheel until they've logged at least 100 hours behind the wheel.
I especially hate the inexperienced drivers. Always seem to be running them over on the sidewalk because they are going so slow.
