In the early 20th century, there was a tremendous amount of immigration into the United States. Many people were sharply critical of this, arguing that america was by and for only Americans.
Let me get this straight -- Slashdot is announcing that the BBC has announced that Sony has announced that it will be making an announcement at an industry tradeshow in May 2005... and this is something I should get excited about?
>>I have one game for the 'Cube - Metroid Prime. > >If you like having a Hello Kitty shitting yellow flowers on your screen, then get a 'Cube
Holy crap, what version of Metroid Prime do YOU have?
Seriously though, if you have only five PS2 titles and only ONE (!) Gamecube title, then you don't really have much on which to base an opinion of any sort.
This is because we have the right to pursue happiness
It is a commonly-held misconception that the Declaration of Independence's inalienable right to "the pursuit of happiness" refers in some way to chasing, or trying to get, happiness. It doesn't. Jefferson used the word "pursuit" in a sense of "experience". What the first few lines of the Declaration say is that people have the right to be alive, to be free, and to be happy -- not the right to be alive, to be free, and to do whatever they want while they try achieve something that will make them happy.
It's not a sense of the word "pursuit" that one comes across very often these days. The boardgame Trivial Pursuit is the only one that comes to my mind quickly, anyway.
My roommate (a non-geek) was watching me play EQ one night in Sydney, and asked what the attraction was. All she could see were strange computer-generated humanoids running around and text scrolling up the screen, and she had that "Jeez, how boring" look on her face.
I motioned her over and said "OK, watch this". Then I asked (out of character of course) my immediate party something like "Hey, where are you guys playing from, and how is it there?" As everyone chipped in with "Detroit, freezing"... "San Diego, sunny"... "Auckland, middle of the night and raining"... well, her eyes bugged out.
"You mean... all those people are actually real people? From all over the world? And all that text is them talking to you?"
She had no idea. Of course she became an IRC Whore within a year or so (I never should have shown her how to get online...)
Instead, go out and elect a President who will appoint an Attorney General who thinks that anti-trust laws need penalities that actually hurt.
These two are mutually exclusive. Anyone who can get elected will have had their campaign financed by someone that this hurts. Anyone who hasn't had their campaign financed by someone that this hurts can't get elected.
Congratulations. The most concise and insightful comment I've read today.
Really, does anyone actually care any more? I queued up, multiple times, for the original cinematic release like most proto-geeks of my generation, but surely I'm not the only one who realised upon seeing Episode 1 that we were getting fucked in the ass without even the common courtesy of a reach-around?
Who the hell modded parent as "Troll"? It's a legitimate comment. What next, Slashdot stories on the AI agents in the Battle of Helm's Deep? Sheesh, is there a Slashdot reader out there who hasn't seen the TTT DVD extras?

You meant "21st century", right?
How much is that in real degrees anyway?

You want to know what the movie is going to be like?
One word.

Not as stunningly huge as the number *I* just conceived, the GOOGOLPLEXPLEX. It is, of course, 1 to the power of googolplex.
Without Flash there is no Homestarrunner.
FLASH GOOD!
Quick, call the lawyers! Shakespeare has ripped off The Lord of the Rings!

No way! Now I can picture it perfectly :)

Is there anything left that's actually LEGAL in your country?
My kingdom for a mod point. Parent is bang on the money, Security Sage is a great resource for new Postfix users.
"Partners"?
"Will Harvey...?"
Goddammit, I KNEW I recognised that name. Music Construction Set is one of the best apps I've ever seen, on any platform. That thing was amazing.
That quote is four years old.
Whaddya know, they had the interweb on computers back in March last year too!

You did notice who's publishing the Google-bashing article, didn't you?
Err... "beach" :)
Calling the almost insignificant distance between Earth and Mars "deep space" is like calling ankle-deep water at your local becah "deep ocean".
"Embedded in it are spherical nanoparticles of titanium dioxide"
In other words, "It looks white".
The geographical advantages of the United States, combined with the incredibly high education rate...
Are we talking about the same United States here?
