Mr. Meier,
Recent studies suggest the traffic and ad revenue for
"shock sites" may surpass that of online games and pornography[1]. Estimates
of growth range from 15%[2] to a whopping 200%[3] per annum.
With those hard numbers what are your thoughts regarding games
capitalizing on this until-now dark side of the net? For example, an online
version of Railroad Tycoon in which a train tunnel morphs into the goatse
man with the use of a cheat code.
It may not be for everyone but considering the extremes to which games
such as Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt go, is this really that far fetched?
Thanks for your time,

I suggested this on www.randi.org a few weeks ago. In Pluto's case have astrologers draw up two parallel charts. One with Pluto as a planet, the other without. After a few weeks we can compare what happened in the world to the astrology charts and that'll settle it.

Urge to kill growing.
Must paint town red with blood.
Sun is rising.

Meter reader coming today.
Sweet flesh in my slow cooker.
Bread in breadmaker smells good.
Too good to taint with meter reader.
Mmm. Maybe I'll go to the store for some blueberry jam.
And a nice walk through the park while I'm at it!
What an awesome day!

They have no idea I'm watching them.
They're nothing more than scum to me.
To be decimated like germs.
Hrm.. hey Slashdot's new CSS looks nice!
Wait... argh! Still buggy!
Can't they do anything right?!
Must.. not.. hehe heh ehhhhhhh...

Yeah, I loved SS2 as well, played it twice (so far;)) and worked on different skill sets both times. Military then engineer type. The psi-guy approach seems pretty hard.
Thief: Deadly Shadows had a
level in a place named The
Shalebridge Cradle [PDF] which was scarier than anything I've ever
played. A haunted, burnt out asylum/orphanage with creepy sounds and
grueling atmosphere. It was a level that I was glad to be finished.
Play
it in the dark on a big screen and Dolby Digital sound. If there's a
thunderstorm outside make sure you're wearing Depends.
I live in Winnipeg. We don't actually buy Slurpees, we buy Big Gulps. By the time we get home after walking through the snow we have a Slurpee. The 7-Eleven marketing people will have me killed for telling you this.
Slashdot Mirror
No reasonable person can claim anything except that his plan to achieve popularity with eDonkey was through facilitating illegal file-sharing.
Ah, but can you prove that in court?
OJ got off with more evidence against him than you have on eDonkey.
eMule is the best one on the Donkey network but there's no company for the *AA cartels to sue.

Limewire will be buried beside its older sibling Napster.
MS has never touched the box and it's running just peachy.
I guess I grossly overpaid on my dual core AMD64 3800+ relic which I built just today.

"The planets don't lie" as I said there. ;)
The standards of American legal knowledge inherent in our court system are not shared worldwide.
And why should they be? Should every country accept US-centric law as The Way?
would train foreign judges
Yeah, all those years of school and working as lawyers in the field couldn't prepare them enough.
those that can't because of DRM'd CDs should just go out and buy a CD player.
And they wonder why there is so much animosity directed at their cartel from consumers.
Yeah, it sure sounds like either a PR person or developers' replies by consensus. No one out on a limb or adding any flavour to the replies.
My pancreas is going to explode from all that sugar! PR people that treat the customers as morons should be unemployed.

When is slashdot.org going to advocate open source hookers.
If you want a hooker's DNA after you're done with her...

Of course games can make us feel emotion.

Most registrars have an option to auto-renew your domain. Problem solved.
Spend that $30 million on studying how to make quality movies that people would want to pay to see.
I want Cowboy Neal's face, there's room to grow into it.
