Dude, have you never heard of a park? Visit a library? Take a walk along a river? Volunteer someplace? Build something? Try doing a local biodiversity survey. Collect stamps, or leaves, or something!
1. Shakedown boys scouts for their video game pin. Mention something about getting the self defense belt loop so this doesn't happen again 2. Put pin up on eBay
I don't see anything wrong with that as long as they're not playing first-person shooter games, violent games, games with a lot of sexual or drug content.
Stop the censure! I grew up with duke nukem and it had no bad consequences.
Do smart people deserve to be governed like idiots just because they're outnumbered by idiots?
Everyone will be always governed by the most powerful.
The ways of getting power change, and intelligence is still not the best. It doesn't give a man as much power as the ability to maniputale the masses.
If you want smart people to not be governed by masses manipulators. use your intelligence to change the previous fact. Make intelligence more power providing than mass control.
Examples: - Create a method of mass murder that can only be avoided by intellect. A russian national lottery of some sort. - Replace masses with robots. - Move to a space capsule, extracting yourself from society. - Join a group of equally intelligent people, get into a protected bunker and kill everybody else. Preferably with a short lived attack. Then, repopulate the Earth.
If you want to understand why Apple does what they do, don't put yourself in the end-user's shoes. Try putting yourself in Apple's shoes. End-users need to be taken care of to limit "accidents" and poor experience. That's a fact of life when geeks deal with end-users.
So your argument is that Apple is just being correctly managed by BOFH?

Seriously. Cleaner air is bad for the planet? Shut up. As someone who has asthma, this pisses me off. I like breathing, thanks. Stop wasting time blaming the Clean Air Act and look at practical ways to cut carbon emissions in ways that don't knock us back to the stone age.
This will probably sound wrong, or at least politically incorrect but... Cleaner air can speed global warming while still killing everyone who suffers from asthma.
Natural facts don't usually care about consequences on human health.
So, I think you're point should be more oriented towards something like: "The fact that cleaner air, which we need, may have a cooling effect, should only make us fight much stronger against the original sources of the warming itself."
How about software prima donnas that think they are too good to make mistakes and say QA just gets in their way? I would say this is far more likely due to a software guy skirting the checks rather than there be no checks in place for an established company like McAfee
Nope. Still wrong.
Who's the prima donna's boss and how did he let him have anything to do with the tests?

The fact that the genes are identical does not mean they're of the same origin.
I've got little knowledge on the topic but I'd guess it's a matter of numbers.
The larger the identical combination, the more probable is their common origin.
I wonder how soon I'll see this used in a movie.
My bet is: Man becomes werewolf after eating many wolves.

Dude, have you ever heard of sex?
Yet I'm sure shoulder mounted launchers from the US have a "this end to enemy" warning sticker.
They do. With pictograms and text.

1. Get boy scout.
2. Put boy scout on craiglist.

And I'm all out of gum!
It is an important reminder of just how ignorant most technology users are of the very tools they're using.
I would have no idea of how to fix the airplane I took this weekend.
I wouldn't even try fixing the elevator I've just used.
I don't think I'd be able to repair 95% of possible problems with my car.
It is an important reminder of how far we got from the middle ages, where one man could know most about all technologies he used.
You cannot spoof an IP address and maintain a connection.
But you can maintain a connection from a different computer than yours and another one from that to yours.
A one bot botnet.
they would tell you they were paying you $1 million while actually giving you $5. And that $5 would probably be copied.
ffs... Stolen! Not copied, STOLEN!
Alternatively, you can use "pirated", "robbed" or "pillaged".

I propose the refusal of such tag in Slashdot, on the basis of ubiquity.
ZeroExistenZ,
What you want to say really seems to be interesting but, without punctuation, it requires a bit too much effort to decrypt.
I wouldn't care if I wasn't almost sure there was something interesting to read, somewhere in there.
I hope you don't take this as destructive criticism.
We're talking about a *game*, not your oxygen supply.
So if you pay to see a movie and after half an hour it simply stops you don't complain, as your life doesn't depend on watching the full movie, right?

No online sales?
Hmm, yes, yes, there's another way...
Hmmmm... I did read about it...
Oh! I remember! It's in the village main street. In exchange for a goat, right?
I'm not sure I want to even know what kind of porn you'd serve from a site called Slash Dot.
Rule 34. That kind of porn already exists, and it lacks a proper home.
Quick google search brings up a consulting firm. I wonder how many bobs they have
You care about the number?
For me it's more about size and shape.
OS breakdown here would be interesting, too.

It's not just the headline, it's the summary and the article too!
So, for all we know, this could be a story about the impending alien invasion.
I will invest in container scanners immediately...
I'll be investing on automated container reception and delivery wharves.
Exactly my first thought.
I can't believe it's possible to get anything bigger than a football close enough to a cruiser, bypassing all anti-missile systems.

Well, worst I've heard was placing a collection of magnets on the backup tape "drop slot".
Fortunately it was discovered on a minor file recovery, not a complete data loss.
their commercial lead me to believe that even stripping sexy models use GoDaddy
I don't really follow your line of reasoning. You want to use the same things stripping sexy models do?
So before GoDaddy you went for coke and rich old guys?
