What are you talking about? I can't think of anything better than being able to see humans with eight foot tall kids, or utterly muscle bound bodies, or maybe cute little tiny pear shaped heads. Or... how about designer babies that smell like strawberries when they get sweaty?
You say breeders have done horrible things to dogs, I say that breeders have given something amusing be smirked at by cynics!
Actually most reviews of this by people who really let loose on Vista is that this is indeed a step in the right direction. Is it perfect? No. If you feel that you can do a lot better for any hardware that I happen to slap together, be my guest. If you thin that's too big, try contributing to one of the distos of Linux. If that's still too big a project then Shooosh, and like what you get, cause you aren't getting anything else.
Also, for the record, jokes about giving women two black eyes as lessons might be funny on redneck.com, but slashdot generally requires some sort of wit to have entertaining comments modded funny. Or at least some Dr Who reference. Or a Monty Python kickback. Or a car analogy.
Amusingly people fall into categories. People of like characters are often quite similar in other things. One of the characteristics in the common Microsoft Bashing Troll that I have found, apart from the obvious ones (Likes Linux/Unix, writes perl/ruby, can understand and troubleshoot very complex SQL, has a dedicated webserver at home on the local network) is that they generally are not very arty. More about the Arty ones in a tic. Most of these un-arty folk like to have a webpage of some sort, but don't have the design talent to make it look sharp. Following that, they will go through a bunch of CSS styles or a prefab gallery and pick a (to them) sharp, clean looking theme. Due to being freebies, they don't look quite as crisp as we might want, and without the arty talent to pep it up, it ends up looking like you describe - as if it was designed in 1992.
Oh yes, the arty Microsoft Bashing Troll types. Hi Mac users!
Why not just take a simple approach. When the user clicks a "Internet" button for the first time, they are presented with an option to either install IE or are given links to install files for a bunch of competitors browsers?
Meaning: Yes, you can choose. Yes, IE comes with the install files, yes if you want something else, you can get it right away.
That must be why the human body didn't come with a vaccine for smallpox either. Oh wait...
Actually, in history, two humans have instantaneously developed full immunity to smallpox through the correct antibodies. Sadly, before anyone could work out they were immune to it, they died of the common cold.
Hey, back in late 3800bc and the first parts of 3700bc (of course, that's not what we called it in those days) pimples were totally hot. All the cavegirls wanted a man with pimples. So yeah, sure, they might not be attractive now, but that's not to say it wasn't always the case.
Man o' man... those pimply faced kids got a whole lot of cavin' action - if ya know what I mean.
When you start adding up the hundreds of projects from dozens of agencies, it doesn't seem so minute.
Hundreds of projects from dozens of agencies? I call Bullshit. Name five projects that are currently developing some sort of PC/Console game with tax dollars.
Actually SimFarmer would make huge sense for small kids to learn about how food gets to the supermarket.
I totally agree, but do you want to do one of the following?
1) Spend $200k to make an utterly budget bonanza title that will be unlikely to have any returns?
2) Spend $500k on a title that will get mixed reviews but still sell poorly?
3) Invest a ton of cash to making a fantastic game about farming that will get excellent reviews but will not make your investment money back?
4) Invest little money, but spend a few years of your life making this project come together through either open source or free mod'ing style work?
Sadly, those are about the options I think for that sort of game. If anyone has money to invest into goodwill and to heightening an awareness of struggling farming types, your best bet would be to try for a grant to develop this. Even then, it will most likely be given to you with so much red tape that your product must do... and must also... and has to.... etc that even the best intentions will all end up being thrown out with the dustpan.
As if LAN parties weren't bad enough, now I have to frag pimply boys who haven't even got the decency to cover up their jingly bits? On top of that, rather than hearing clicks of mice and taps of keyboards, now you will get to hear fat out of breath kids as they wave and flail about (with their jingly bits flapping in the wind).
That's just put a dampner on your next night of playing Left 4 Dead eh?
You live in Brazil? The same Brazil i live? I have never head of snow in Brazil, not even in the south region, in high altitude cities... They get a little frost during the night, thats all.
Prepare to be amazed! Prepare to have you socks knocked off your frost bitten feet! Prepare to make icicles like only a man can in the winter!
Likewise, they refuse to remove content that is knowingly infringing (and taunt the owners when they are asked to remove it) seems to contradict their defense that they do not aid in contributing to illegal content.
That's not quite true. Not technically, ergo not legally.
A.torrent file in itself isn't breaking a movie copyright. Yes, the files that you download from other users from information WITHIN the.torrent file break copyright, but the.torrent file itself is clean of copyright.
If I were to open "FindAHitman.com" where 'clients' and 'plumbers' can meet to discuss person arrangements, I think I would have a hard time justifying myself as just 'a site that connects individuals, not providing any illegal services'.
Okay, lets say you opened just such a site. And if a 'plumber' put up a contact phone-number there on your site, is the information on that site any different to say a phone book? The local phone book may well also contain that exact phone number. Does that make you someone who is a murderer? That is the exact analogy of the charges that were dropped against TPB. The charges that they have chosen to try to stick with is the "helping to commit murder" although as I put it before, they aren't technically hosting anything copyright, they are merely hosting pointers to this info.
If I find a mafia hideout cafe, and put up a sign saying "mafia hangout cafe, get your illegal actions done by those guys" with a big arrow, and someone goes and gets someone whacked, did I help murder them?
The only thing I would say is that not knowing the background and events leading up to this, was she a constant source of trouble for teachers? Was she normally a quiet kid etc, I don't know the right answer.
Perhaps somewhere you have to draw the line to say enough is enough.

as far as I was aware, there was little movement in 8 years.
If a lot happened quickly, it wouldn't be taking 7 or so years would it, therefore by definition, not a lot of movement is going on.
Why not just take a simple approach. When the user clicks a "Internet" button for the first time, they are presented with an option to either install IE or are given links to install files for a bunch of competitors browsers?

I'm going to simply respond to your rambling, seemingly paranoid post with a single [Citation Needed].
I for one believe the GP of this when they say that they cannot afford the housing they live in. No citation needed.

How else are we supposed to keep the moon clear of moondust farmers?
PVP got less exciting and lost it's glamor when people worked out the quickest way to win was to flip the clip on the other person's helmet...
Psssffft. The sound you hear as your helmet opens up. The last thing you hear.
Then it's time for another spirit rez at the nearest faction graveyard...
Legally, there's a specific list of things the federal government may do. Building MMORPGs is not one of them.
What law specifically prohibits a government from producing this type of MMO?

I even have pictures of their fist baths, and one of my younger son pissing on my ex-wife while she bathed him.
First fisting, then golden showers? Whoa there tiger, this is slashdot!
We tried that once, now we have a hole in the ozone layer.
Win some, lose some.
The environment (and humanity) is counting on you.
Is everyone just in shock and awe of this announcement or is everyone snoozing on a Friday afternoon?
