Do we really want to go back to DOS-on-a-chip and the TRS-80? If there's no OS, everyone can buy a gaming console with an "office productivity" disc. I like the PC culture. If they want to go to net based apps or gaming console pc's, I'm happy to be left behind.
Amen, I can hook any controller I like to my PC, use cheat codes, and build the box myself with much more power than a console and less money spent overall. I have my Odyssey 2 and PS2 if I need a console fix. Yes, I skipped ALL the consoles in between. The console needs to be innovative to grab my interest.
No kidding, that's what they should have done. The worst that would have happened is a router getting some heavy traffic instead of people getting hurt.
Consider the cost of raising children. It's expensive and more than one child per family is becoming prohibitive. We're already limited, we don't need another law.
That's a great post with some good points. I supported the admin until Katrina. then I wanted to throw up. Putting US citizens in steel shipping containers on U.S. soil as temp. housing is not good enough. We still have people hurting down there. I left the exec. branch of gov't after that. It's just too much. Vote Democrat and demand more than a few investigations. (Imagine having to work with people who are drunk womanizers and they just cover it up, DUI's and all.)
We have a ruling class raised in a conservative religious ethic. They never had enough fun in their lives and have need to deprive others of fun rather than fixing the problem and LOOSENING the conservative religious ethos in this country. We can't even talk about sex and intimacy unless it's in an r-rated movie or a dumb talk show. Hello! Is anyone listening? I should not have to go to Europe to have good clean fun in a party with people my own age. We're repressed to the Nth degree in this country and it's way past juvenile at this point. I work hard and I want to enjoy my time off when I actually have some.

True, change from within. If more liberals would move to the places where conservatives live, then change might happen really fast in this country... Just a thought...
Actually, we could create a new party based on scientists, engineers, and other intellectuals. Considering the Slashdot readers probably maintain the critical systems, we could have more power than you think. Just a thought.
"the end of capitalism usually is fascism due to a single monopoly or an oligarchic monopoly of conglomerates having enough wealth to dominate over the government (a system as close to Stalinist communism as you can get because those systems, although coming from different roots, always are the same in the end)"
Wow! Sounds familiar...
*sigh* I remember when we were a capitalistic nation. Ah, the good ol' days...
Besides boycotting Sony, maybe people could donate money to Lik Sang and buy some of those mugs and badge holders they sell and become a visible supporter of Lik Sang. Just a thought.

This is why I play Odyssey 2!!! Vintage games rule!!!
Opus is NOT antique! thank YOU very much!

"I doubt the government will support action until we're in the midst of cataclysmic environmental impact at a nationwide level."
If Katrina is an indicator, maybe not even then. We're all on our own.
1. United Federation of Planets - an empire with real American values circa 1960's...
;P
2. Time - you have to wait until the 23rd century... Only two more to go!
Immortality would help with the wait... Anyone checking to see if they're immortal lately?
"... and largely civil, something that doesn't happen much anymore on Slashdot."
It's civil because people are actually afraid...
Fight fear with knowledge...

1. Ohio's economy has been beat to a pulp and there's not much left. Good luck finding a job.
2. If "everyone" leaves, there wouldn't be enough people to maintain the military.
3. Once SkyNet comes online, then 1 & 2 won't matter.
May whatever god you believe in (or not) help us...

Just don't buy anything from Sony...

So, can the H.K./P.R.C. gov't sue/complain against Sony via WTO/other means for violating the rights of Lik Sang under H.K. law?
