Idiot.
"-1, Offtopic" MEANS something. Specifically, it means the post is OFFTOPIC. Speculation about whether or not Somalia was right or wrong (in the middle of a story about Schwartzenegger) is, in my book, Offtopic.
Please read this, as well as this. Besides the fact that you're completely offtopic (and if I hadn't used my moderator points yesterday, you'd be going _down_), AND the fact that you should have been spouting your anti-US hate when Katz reviewed BHD, your arguments are wrong, wrong, wrong.
Cheers.
Possible scenario

Problem: We have a large group of linux users, we need them to use windows, or at least stop developing linux and making other people not use windows.
Solution: We use a manufactured and obviously inflammatory story, posted to a shrine of the linux-worshippers, to cause the (generally) obese linux crowd's blood pressure to blow. Problem Solved!
It seems to be too mocking, attempting to cast audiophiles in a freak-show light, which I find is unfair. If you have a $10M, $100K for a stereo isn't really all that much. Hell, I wish I could afford half that stuff!
And what was that weird thing about CD's anyway???
Damn, I'm tired of hearing all these ridiculous announcements! "Bush administration will cancel funding of abortion groups" "Bush administration will cancel Pluto mission" Fuck, this gets me down. People actually think these are good ideas.
His actions of recent days have shown how he has little to no grasp on reality. He alienated Square; he claims that the Xbox is not a major competitor; and he is continuing with the ridiculous supposed "quality vs. quantity" policy that made there only be about five games on the N64 worth buying, three of those by Rare.If Nintendo was a real company and not a Yakuza property, Yamauchi would have been deposed years ago.
For those who read 'A Brief History of Time', Dr. Hawking made a bet with I-forget-who that if Cygnus X-1 was a black hole, then he would have to give the other guy a bag of chips. His reason? If it was, he would be so happy that he wouldn't mind giving awaya bag of chips, and if it wasn't, then he would at least have a bag of chips as a consolation prize. Hahaha!
Wonderful idea. Unfortunately, that's just as wrong as what he's doing. Consider all the other users on the ISP, and consider whether they ought to be punished for one lamer's way of expressing his total lack of testicles. The best way would probably be to contact his ISP to cancel his account, even if it might take a while. Undernet could always sue the loser for damages.
What about console games? Have you ever played Goldeneye for Nintendo 64? Sonic the Hedgehog? Final Fantasy VI? While I'll agree that the games you mentioned were fun, you're skipping the most sizable portion of the video gaming world in your comment.
While I agree with you about FF8 and Tetris (FF8 = really crap, Tetris = really fun), you claim that Pac-Man is the one of the most addictive games ever?
Allow me to disagree. Pac-Man was, in my opinion, only popular because there was almost no competition at the time. Frankly, you sound like one of those old-school gamers who always complain that new games aren't as good as the old ones. Have you ever played Super Mario Kart? Or Chrono Trigger, or Xenogears? Most games today are very high quality, simply because they have to be, to pop out of the crowd. Ever tried Tetris Attack? I highly recommend it. Pac-man requires nowhere near the amount of quick thinking needed to win at Tetris Attack. Please, Julius, old games aren't good simply because they're old.
Nothing should have to have said for it "it was stunning for its time". Tetris, which is still going strong, obviously shows its own merits. But who plays Pac-Man these days?
They are not the true gamer. They are not HARDCORE. The HARDCORE gamer plays at least 20 hours a day when he has a game he hasn't beat.
I remember when I played Final Fantasy Tactics for two days without sleeping. I beat it at 5:00 am the second day. That was a fun game.
haha
It wasn't R-Type, it was Gradius, Foo'! You don't remember the difference?;)
Gradius was Konami, R-Type was Irem.(haven't heard of them in a while eh?)But it really was a cool code - the only way I beat Gradius I on the 8-bit nes.
Seriously.
It may be the most intellectually stimulating book I've ever read. The dozens of little puzzles mixed with the mathematical logic discussions and the entertaining stories make it an incredibly enlightening read.

Oh yes, and if you'd read the text of my post, you'd have noticed that the point of it was not the offtopic bit but the arguments used.
Think before you flame.
Please, don't be abusive. In case you didn't know, SLashdot recently added a general debate forum.
Your ad hominem attacks only illustrate your own lack of intelligence.
Fortune has a quote along those lines.
Idiot.

I thought NetBSD's motto was to port to anything and everything with a CPU (viz. NetBSD Dreamcast), not to get another operating system ported to it ;)
Disclaimer: Yes, yes, I know what they did and it's not porting an OS. I just found it sort of funny, in a 'tables-have-been-turned' sort of way.
their hAx0r interface language. It's friggin' hilarious.

He posted the same piece of crap several times already, word for word. If only I could remember where :\
The server would still be just as smashed. Clients need a server, right :)

You are lower than shit.
..nothing like netsplits by the quadrillion...
I realize it's petty, but there's nothing like reading things like:
There are many different ways to increase the performance of computer
Sometimes I also have such feeling, but then I realize that destroying several hundred bucks isn't good deed
Hahaha!
Uhmm.

Console games want equal rights too!
