"The rationale for this is that 'paintball trivializes violence and risks lowering the threshold for committing violent acts.'"
Oppressive laws that limit personal responsibility and undermine rational thinking trivializes society and risks lowering the threshold for legislating more inane laws that drive people to violent acts.
Hell, I'll just call it TWAT anyways, WuhGAh just didn't have the ring it needed. Anything that makes Microsoft easier to bash is something I'll be happy to celebrate.
I like that idea, faster than light travel should have happened during the big bang because matter did end up somewhere further than light can travel in that time.
Perhaps on that scale, however, or maybe before matter existed as we experience it, physics followed different rules entirely.
Or maybe matter didn't exist then and it was a form of energy that can travel freely and then later became matter and energy.
Or maybe the Higg's Field didn't exist until after the Big Bang.
Or maybe there was no Big Bang.
I still have ten minutes I have to do something with, but I'm out of or maybes.
The media companies are already making a mistake when they make Hulu wait a week to show something; When I can't watch it on Hulu when I want to watch it, I download it via torrent and wait ten to twenty minutes.
I'll watch the ads, especially if it's not the same one over and over, but I won't pay a damn penny when I can watch publicly viewable content for free.
Well, damn, it's good to know Adobe's making real effort into it. I'm not a 'professional speculator', but I really think Adobe has a lot to benefit from injecting itself into F/OSS users who aren't particularly aware or passionate of what F/OSS is.

You've just won nothing for being a plain old nit.
First thought that came to mind...
First thought that came to my mind is they should have gotten Ubuntu.

Any code made by someone can be broken by someone.
Some consumers have already realized they don't have to put up with this bullshit, I hope more do every day.
This all sounds very complicated. I think I'll use my legs instead.
The problem is it's the trivial nonsense people bother about arguing over, not scientific fact which is easier to take for granted.

That'll be the most awesomest tales from the crypt episode ever.
But that's impossible, he's Superman.
Now now, I'm sure he'll be able to afford the treatments, or buy his way into trials. It won't be as dramatic, but he does have power still.
This doesn't bother me at all. I'm always really polite and I never try to hurt anyone and I never, ever hold grudges or harass people anonymously.
YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF FUCKING ASSHOLES FOR MODDING ME DOWN SO MANY TIMES.
I also like puppy dogs and rainbows, and cute things and stuff.
I HOPE YOU ALL FEEL TERRIBLE FOR BEING A BUNCH OF MEANIES.
Didn't you know that secretly all stories are fluff spun from two lines of IRC chat?
I guesstimate this reply will make you laugh.
I think there already is. It's called Twitter - where (L)users can drop 140 characters of excreta at a time into an uncaring void...
No no, I mean something even less useful than that.
It's operator inertia, basically.
That kind of spooked me there, my website/filehost is operationinertia.org
There needs to be a 'SMS mode' for Slashdot where you can set replies to your comment to be a maximum of 160 characters.
The first thing that came to mind when reading this article was a resounding "No Shit."

Yeah, because every business that ever took risks ever went bankrupt version 7.
Right, every six months to reproduce and they only look after the ones they have every twelve months.
No 64 bit support.
Sound support is sketchy.
It's much easier to see the loss in performance on a 1.6ghz Atom and GMA950.
Updates for the Windows version still come before any other.
Complicated licensing scheme and an unwillingness to allow distributions to include it by default, unlike OS X and some OEMs for Windows.
ARM/PPC/whatever users of Linux still left in the dust.
You don't have to be personally approved by GNU/Jesus to join the Linux party.
But then we'll lose that 1% market share! I mean, that's totally how it works, right?
