I hate to be a me-too here, but you beat me to making a comment.
I see all these people going "Waa waa they won't let prisoners play D&D in prisoner." What the fuck? It's prison. It's punishment. You're crying about not being able to play a game? What if another story came along and said "Prisoners are banned from playing Grand Theft Auto because it encourages gangs." It doesn't matter the fucking justification, it's prison. Prison isn't supposed to be fun.
Hey, I would just like to see encryption techniques switch over to one of the methods that have been mathematically proven unbreakable instead of continuing to rely on the primes method which still has that Riemann hypothesis staring at it.
You didn't know that? That's why cops don't usually pull you over if you're less than 10 mph under the speed limit. That's within the margin of error of a potentially wrong tire size and errors with the speed gun.
I believe I stated that since MGS4 was not constrained by the 360 hardware the developers were able to make a very good looking game. Another gorgeous game that was released only on the PS3 is Valkyria Chronicles, though some people may not appreciate the graphical style.
Also, Black & White 2 only came out about a month before the launch of the 360. So to say that it runs on hardware that should be worse than a consoles is pretty disingenuous.
What it means is that the video playing problems of Ubuntu, and other *nix distros in general, is acting as a barrier to bringing in the one group that relies heavily on video players. These users utilize more complex video (even if they don't know it). By bringing them in and getting a good solid player that works for them, you would -in theory- improve the video player for all users.
What bothers me is that a lot of slashdotters hold an elitist attitude about linux and it trickles down into an elitist attitude about who uses it.
Stalingrad was one of Hitler's biggest mistakes. He committed too many resources to taking that city when it was of very little strategic importance. I am still convince Hitler wanted Stalingrad just to piss of Stalin and Stalin was just as determined not to let the city fall. Had the Germans swept through the city and moved on instead of trying to take it over 100% thus spending months there, Hitler would have been in a far better position to crush Moscow and force a Soviet surrender. Instead Hitler got bogged down there which allowed the Soviets to finally bring the east of the nation into the fight and push back the Germans.
Stalingrad is a prime example where hubris played a part in Germany's defeat. More than anything, Hitler's hubris defeated Germany.

Mel Gibson?
May this serve as a reminder for why French goods suck.
Ah, I see.
Vikings are responsible for this attack instead of pirates.
The dire threat of colliding galaxies in 3 billion years demands that we act now to save our planet!

"Sir, the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field are two to one!"
"Never tell me the o-oh... well that's not bad. Never mind, let's keep going."
So this year they're spending about $18M on removal.
The odds of having an IT guy to fix your problems is approximately over 9000 to 1.
God damnit Crichton. Aeryn let you out again?
Well, I recently got back from the other end of the galaxy after being flung through a wormhole.
Walter is the cranky old codger.
Achmed the Dead Terrorist may be who you're thinking of.
Primary mission?
What's its secondary mission?
I think that was John Crichton opening a wormhole.
I know, cause downloading pornography and taking machines home to help him run a home business aren't enough.

I'm curious as to how crossing the Straight of Gibraltar is a bigger achievement than crossing the English Channel. Isn't the channel wider?
If I'm not mistaken, the Straight of Gibraltar is only about 14km, while the English Channel is about 30km at its narrowest point.

Neon Genesis Evangelion.....
Except that PC gaming still has the hold on MMO and RTS games.
Though once again Square-Enix is going to be trying to market a MMO to platforms with FF14.
Which is why Metal Gear Solid 4 still looks better than games that are coming out now that are both PS3 and XBox 360.....
Both.
It's not as if the government has a history of telling the truth.
Dammit, I only make male disciple breeders. I want all my women pregnant at all times!
