well yes, I guess it would qualify as fair. Wtf new are you watching if you -haven't- heard any of that. Also, remember, "israeli massacres", are often counterbalanced by palestinian massacres, no one on either side is without blood on their hands.
Yep, and after we got done doing that, we trudged back across the middle east, the baltics, eastern and western europe, and the atlantic ocean, to come back here and do the same thing to the natives of north america, man we were busy.
That's right, in the world today, the only way not to be racist (or sexist, or homophobic) in movies, is to make sure all characters who aren't 100% completely without-a-doubt good, white (or male, or straight). Any other race (sex, orientation) for a character who isn't completely virtuous is racist (sexist, homophobic), and the intelligent public will see through this.
Boy, I'm glad we have such intelligence here on slashdot.
Your referrence to the american/soviet plane issue, seems to indicate that you are completely taken-aback by the fact that governments engage in propaganda. I can assure you that the Russian government/media was as apoplectic over the Americans shooting down the iranian plane as the americans were about the other. I can also assure you that the Russian media wasn't as harsh on the Russians for shooting down the korean plane. That's just the way the world works. Friends get protected, enemies get attacked, regardless, it's not right, but it's real. Pragmatism is more important to most people than Idealism.
I made that exact same transition, as my first installation was redhat, after a couple months, i just couldn't stand RH any more, then i moved to slack. Eventually when i had some hardware failures i decided to go with freebsd, that lasted about 8 hours, because i realized i couldn't get hardware accelerated openGL for my geforce2mx in freebsd. I'm not sure if this is still the case, hopefully it's not, as I would love to be able to use freebsd more, simply because i LOVE/usr/ports.

the 'groundbreaking evangelion'? hah, while it was a good series for the first 3/4 of it, for some reason the series completely loses it's focus, or appears to, and moves from an interesting (and good) mech-like anime, to a really really crappy treatise on existence and the human condition. It would also have been nice if it would have had an ending.
On the whole though, I find that it's nice to be able to walk into more video/dvd stores now and be able to find some anime that at least might pique my interest, and even if none of it piques my interest, it's just kind of nice to see it there.
What you could do though, is simply hire a skilled artist to do character design and level design, and put together a nice q2 quality game, as it wouldn't be a ripoff of q2, but an actual game running on the q2 engine.
You simply misread. What's been on the local news around here is that the city will offer free email for all residents, and that many public computers will word processing programs installed onto them (MS Word I would assume), and those computers would be the same computers you always see people browsing the web on from the library.
One of the most serious problems we have today with the patent office is this: the allowing of patenting of discoveries. Discoveries are not inventions, no one invented the stem cell, they simply found it. This is the same mindset that allows companies to patent parts of the human genetic code. I believe we have bigger issues to worry about with the patent office than software.

I'd go crazy with that windows only rule, the IT department where I go to school is horribly underqualified and exceptionally inept, but at least they don't make me use windows.
managed to ping the NT servers while they were up, that's why the increase of 2,000,000 servers, it's not that they increased, they just weren't up any of the other months when netcraft did the survey.
They are thinking about cutting fencing? Is this the same IOC that just started allowing curling to be an olympic sport? I can't think of much that would be less TV friendly than curling, and fencing is quite cool.
...if sunspire is okay with the people carrying on development based on the 0.61 code, since it was already released, and it would be perfectly legal and legit for openracer to be in direct competition with a closed source tuxracer and there isn't anything sunspire can do about it.
They also skipped an episode of outlaw star which, while almst completely a fanservice episode contains one of the most crucial details about Gene's Castors that he fires at the end, oh, and that he has them.
You know, 30 years ago we were undoubtedly headed into an ice age that would kill most of humanity and make the world unlivable. Of course, -WE- are the right generation, and -THEY- were wrong. Because there isn't any possible way -OUR- generation could be wrong.
Why would anyone pay not to see ads, as long as they aren't popup windows. I know I don't "see" banner ads" any more, and I don't think too many other people do either.

if they did then you know that if it ever got out to the public then there would be hell to pay for those who made the decision.
It's perfectly legal to resell a copy of a book you bought, only first sale rights are granted to copyright holders, not all sales at any time.

It isn't okay for the US to do it, that's what all the fuss is about. Nice try on the trolling though.
