That, or, as I recall, you have to be transporting goods in excess of $200,000 - i.e., a bank van driver or a courier dealing in something such as uncut diamonds.
Yeah, after all look at all of those mods that ultimately petered out and disappeared into nothingness. DOTA, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Alien Swarm, Killing Floor...
I don't know... it's confusing, it's poorly written, and it doesn't make any sense no matter how many times you read it. Looks like an engineer's handiwork to me.
Well, there's a rather large pool of non-minority persons who haven't been hired because of the areas that take federal money (and thus have to meet certain ethnicity quotas). I'm sure there's a few hundred officers in Texas and surrounding states sitting on their asses or working as mall security because they're too white to get hired.
The absence of Wolfenstein 3D on iPhone in Switzerland might be due to other reasons, like localization: ~75% of the population speaks German (actually local Swiss-german dialects, but they most can understand standard German too). As Switzerland is a to small market, you seldom see Swiss-specific localizations of software.
Yes, because we all played Wolfenstein 3-D and DOOM for the compelling dialog.
Watch, I'll get DOOM, DOOM 2, Final DOOM, and Wolfenstein 3-D all 100% translated right now. Quick, somebody tell me the Swedish for the following statements:
It was just us making sure the enemy we put down stayed down. It's the same reason Japan still only has a "Self-Defense Force" to this day.
Sure it's un-American, but as years of extraordinary rendition and black camps show, you don't have shit for rights if you're not an American citizen (and even then, not really if you're a "security threat").
There's loads of money in stuff like Quicken and other tax software, along with a practical guarantee that it won't fuck up your taxes so long as the information is accurate.
It makes me wonder why there isn't a law version of this.
Your closing statement contains an ad hominem attack on the prosecution and several other logical fallacies [expand list]. Are you sure you want to continue?
...what? Have we finally gotten spambots actually tailored to Slashdot? (I don't know about you, but as a 6' 5" white guy I'm not all that into "cheap Ugg boots".)
What's next?

WikiLeaks came under fire for refusing to redact names of civilian volunteers in Iraq and Afghanistan, leading to the volunteers getting death threats. Assange told a reporter that if people want names redacted, they'd have to pay for it.
You don't see Amnesty International leak civilian names while exposing tyranny and human rights violations around the globe.
Stop this shit.
Only flat-out fucking retards will believe you. Wikileaks has said again and again that they filter everything through a "no-harm" policy by removing any identifying features prior to release. They explicitly do everything they can to prevent harm.
Loads of people bring up the claim that they name names with regards to informants or undercover folks, but I've yet to see legitimate shit on the Wikileaks site that is exactly like that.
Disinformation aside, if there are any such examples of an informant being outed in such a manner (and subsequently receiving threats), I'd like to see them. I don't mind being proven wrong (in fact, it's rather refreshing - that's how we meatbags learn), but every time Wikileaks come up on Slashdot or anywhere else we have half-assed attempts to discredit them without putting out any actual evidence from reputable sources.
Something you guys need to understand - some of these people who play loads of Facebook games put the same kind of emotional investment into them as more "tradtional" hardcore gamers do.
Remember the shitstorm when Modern Warfare 2 wasn't going to have dedicated servers? Or when Starcraft 2 wasn't going to have offline mode or LAN play (currently being repeated for Diablo 3)? It's no different; many of us are just blind to their emotional investment because it's not the games we play or even the type of games we play.
Something changes in the next Zynga or Popcap game and the hardcore gaming crowd goes "lol, casuals". But Duke Nukem has the Calladooty-style 2 weapon limit and a lot of us are mad beyond belief.
I might be naive on this, but isn't this how bonuses already work? I thought that bonuses were tied to performance or meeting other goals (i.e. a HR guy having a good retention rate of hired employees, or an IT guy getting a new technology deployed by the end of the quarter). I'd like to see an example of someone getting a bonus when they've been doing a shitty job (excluding the easy google result of the banks after the bailout).
I love Microcenter, and my friend on the West Coast speaks equally highly of Fry's.
Microcenter's prices are good, their staff is knowledgeable, and their store is a goddamned candy store for tech geeks. How many stores have store-branded flash drives as an impulse purchase?
The thing I love most, though, is their "computer buffet" dealy they have going (at least at my local Microcenter in NJ). They have prices listed up on a chalkboard above the center counter, and you can get a computer assembled piece by piece and built right there for minimal cost (or you could, of course, take the parts home and do it yourself).
I went there with a family friend who needed a copy of Windows 7. "Wheres your cheapest version of retail Windows 7?" He dropped what he was doing, showed us, and didn't try to upsell us in any fashion.
Microcenter has a customer for life here, and if you have one in your area you should check them out.

Oh, the joy of remote mines and pressing A+B at the same time...
Natural selection, I suppose?
How many retail games never get out of the gate? There's plenty games that do that end up being just godawful.

Yes, it's that hard in New Jersey.
I remember the days when you'd see a coondoggie submission nearly every day.
Exactly! That same Internet work ethic is why Slashdot's code works so very well to this day!
Well, not until the emulators are working anyway.
Thanks, but I can wait 5 or so years to play God of War VII.
Yeah, after all look at all of those mods that ultimately petered out and disappeared into nothingness. DOTA, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Alien Swarm, Killing Floor...
Easy answer. A domain squatter is someone who owns a domain and doesn't have nearly as much money as the person who wants it.
I don't know... it's confusing, it's poorly written, and it doesn't make any sense no matter how many times you read it. Looks like an engineer's handiwork to me.
They have those, they're called Concealed Carry Licenses.
Well, not everywhere sadly. New Jersey sucks.
What the fuck did I just watch?

2) "Mein leiben!
3) "UUUUUUUGHHHHH."
4) [heavy breathing]
There, done.

Is it wrong that I find this kind of stuff arousing?

And curing cancer won't help all those people who have already died of cancer. Your point?

Yessir, I live in Newark, NJ and I am glad that they cleaned up the Passaic River and got rid of all of those other Superfund sites in the Garden State.

Being normal is boring anyway. The loonies are the interesting ones to hang around.
