Despite the fact that it looks like the Democratic Party has demonstrated a strong resurgence, I urge the nation to withhold judgment. As we have noted constantly over the past few years, the electronic voting machines from untrustworthy companies like Diebold may seriously and fraudulently alter election results. I call upon the Justice Department to vigorously investigate the election outcome, to determine if Diebold and other conspiratorial companies gave us a victory that we did not deserve.
No, just kidding, of course she didn't say that. We all know there's only problems with voting machines when Republicans get elected.

But seriously, while I generally support Republicans, the current batch has been almost entirely useless over the past several years, so perhaps this will serve as a wake-up call.
granted, I use FreeBSD, not Linux, but I can't imagine that 'q' doesn't quit the man program. I've never heard of this "shift ZZ" thing, though I just tried it and it worked.
Considering Halo (and the whole XBox, really) was designed to appeal to people who had never played games before (as Penny Arcade put it once, the "drunken frat fuck"), and therefore thought things that had appeared in other games years before were suddenly "innovative", I don't think it would work out as a movie, since I think the market of "people who have never seen movies before" is rather limited.
Um, not to point out the obvious or anything, but allofmp3 wasn't legal in the first place. To the artists (and yes, the record companies), it doesn't matter if you're buying stolen CDs out of the back of a van, giving your credit card number to shady Russians, or downloading free music from Bittorrent; they still get nothing anyway. So if you switch from one illegal method to another, I don't think they're going to be affected.
I want a CV/resume like parent is suggesting plus a SHORT letter, max 1 page with:
* Who you are
* What you currently do
* Why you want to change employer
* Why you suit this job * What your goals are
I don't know.. I agree with you mostly, but when I look at resumes I pretty much completely ignore whatever they've put down as their "goal" -- everyone knows the real goal is "to get your company to exchange your currency for my services", I don't really care if they're able to BS something else.
I avoid political things on/. because of the huge right-wing bias.
HAHAHAHAHA.
I seriously hope you're kidding, or else you meant to type "free republic" instead of "/." or something. Slashdot's to the right of Stalin, perhaps, but that's about it.
Yes. Though you have to find the lower elevator access card to get to the shuttle in Kalamontee Kompleks, and then the shuttle access card to start up the shuttle, and don't carry the cards around at the same time as the magnet...
My favorite piece of IF, and still one of my favorite games ever.
They switched to using Microsoft's DRM on the feed, which means I can no longer use Firefox...what? I've been using Firefox to watch mlb.tv all year. So there must be something else up if you haven't gotten it to work.
That aside, mlb.tv is still crap. This was my first year with it, and it's likely going to be the last. Extra Innings, if you have that option (digital cable or satellite), is more expensive, but much better.
Let's see, if I have a PS2 w/ GH2, and you have an XBox360 w/ GH2, then if they had universal controllers, we could play with two controllers without giving any more of our US dollars to Activision! Whereas this way, if we really want to play with two controllers, we'd each have to buy one more, which is two extra sales for Activision! Everybody wins! Well, at least Activision does.
Also, we aren't talking about corruption in any other party because the Republican party is the one in power here
Maybe you didn't read the article (I must be new here), but we're talking about Maryland here. In fact, Democrats are in power, and in fact the Republicans have been the ones challenging the electronic voting.
Don't let facts get in the way though! No blood for oil! Chimpy McBushitler is the devil!
If this comes to the Wii, I will be beyond excited. Even though Sony represents all that is souless and wrong, I'm half tempted to get a PS2 just for the first GH. I'm planning to get a Wii anyway, so if I can get GH2 on it... shit.
Of course it's unnecessary, not to mention incorrect (as you point out with the free trade agreement, plus, our own DMCA was signed in 1998, PLUS the president can't really do much re: laws anyway, since that's congress' job... but if we can get in anti-Bush comments, who cares about facts!). But whoever this new "kdawson" editor is is even worse than the old editors when it comes to selecting stories free of flamebait. I think he specifically seeks out the stories where the submitter added some stupid comment. (And if it's anti-Bush, all the better.) Probably helps keep up the page and ad views.
Man has Slashdot turned to crap. I usually hate when people post complaining about/. here, but I've been starting to agree with them. I suppose I could go to Digg more often instead, but at least/. sometimes has a reasonably good comments section on some articles. I've yet to see any sort of intelligent life over in the Digg comment section.
Can't wait for my offtopic mod! Or maybe a troll, or the coveted "overrated". If I'm really lucky, someone will go through my post history and mod other posts down too, which usually happens when I disagree that anything anti-Bush is automatically goodthink.
That's not very surprising, when they just announced an hour ago that they're going to pwn the UK for £180 on the thing, only £20 less than a 360 Core model.
For reference, the $250 you Americans will be paying equates to roughly £134.
Hahaha.. you said "360 Core model". Great joke.
But seriously, the UK price includes VAT, doesn't it? Which is 20% or so? So that brings the £134 up to around £160, plus the extra importing costs and such.. so maybe you're still getting pwned, but not quite as much as it might seem at first. Most people in the US will have to pay more than $250 any due to sales taxes, which for some reason we don't include in the price. (Makes much more sense in the UK and other European countries; don't ask me why tax is never included here... well, on a national level it's because sales taxes are different across the country, but even when you walk into a store you won't see the full price until they ring you up at the register.)
Besides, the Japanese are paying the equivalent of $220 or so. So you're really getting pwned compared to them.
Exactly. I can't imagine a whole lot that would be less useful than a web browser on my TV, but I suppose someone must think it's a good idea. I don't have to pay for it, and they can. Works for me.
THANK YOU. I was thinking the same thing. Flat mode FTW. I was pissed when they started splitting things into pages and I couldn't load all the comments at once anymore on discussions with 100+ replies.

For something like the Hobbit, this would not be acceptable. It would lead to a product that is not true to the book.
Yes, if only the book was divided up somehow. We could call those divisions "chapters", the way some DVDs do.
Nah, it'll never happen.

I play guitar... the game isn't really like playing the guitar at all, so there's little danger of screwing up your real playing.
It's still a really fun game though. Highly recommended. I hope it comes out on the Wii.

That's the combination on my luggage!
Um, how the hell was that a troll? Sure, sometimes I write posts that could be taken as trolling, but that wasn't one of them.
If this comes to the Wii, I will be beyond excited. Even though Sony represents all that is souless and wrong, I'm half tempted to get a PS2 just for the first GH. I'm planning to get a Wii anyway, so if I can get GH2 on it... shit.
Someone, please make this happen.
yeah yeah, I know. don't tempt me. ;)
I saw a PSP right when it came out; a coworker had one and I played it for a couple seconds.
Haven't seen one since.
But I see DS's a lot. Keep thinking I need to get one... but saving for the Wii now instead.
If ye be needin' help typin' like a pirate, try out the pirate keyboard. Arrr!
the odds of this happening naturally is 1/1679616.
And you don't think a million and a half people play roulette in Vegas? It has to happen eventually, that's what random means.

I love how "selling its consoles above what they cost to make" is called a "tradition".
"Yeah, we thought about selling our consoles BELOW what they cost to make, but we decided the tradition was too strong to stop now."
