What will really be funny is when you run into somebody even more sociopathic than yourself. When they manage to track you down and cut you into little bite sized pieces to make stew out of because you beat them in a game, we'll have a laugh about it.
Are you trying to claim that the government controls the thoughts of the US population? Interesting then, the amount of Bush bashing that occurs on the internet without brutal police retaliation.
Jesus titty fucking christ, who marks these nitwits insightful?
I can't believe poker has as many hours of dedicated broadcasting as it does, but there it is. Frankly, I'm no longer surprised by some of the stupid shit that passes for entertainment nowadays.
Firmware upgrades are nothing new in the realm of digital home entertainment. I bought a Samsung DVD player back in 2000 and the first DVD I tried to play in it, The Matrix, refused to work. After a lot of searching I found that it would need a firmware upgrade.
My Scientific American DVR from Time Warner (which is a piece of junk) resets itself now and then, presumably to update software of some kind, because features will just appear. Usually this is acommpanied by losing my recording schedule or deleting my already recorded shows.
I think Americans are just too used to crappy products which may or may not work as advertised, and don't expect anything better from technology.
A beaver dam can drastically change the environment surrounding it. The difference between man and animal is guilt. Maybe the Catholic church was onto something...
I think the point was that despite their lack of integration with portable music players, it hasn't stopped millions of people from using P2P programs to download music.
You're missing the most obvious promotion, the friend list. Wouldn't a band that is on the friend list of a band that you already like be a big clue that it could be something you're interested in? If they enhanced their friends list to add a category system it'd be easy to see the bands that your favorite bands liked. Maybe they already do this, I don't know.

My impression was that supporting stem cell research was about being pro-science, not anti-religion.[/blockquote] If there's one thing the internet has taught me, it's that atheism is as much a religion as Christianity, Islam, or Judaism to many people. Some people just get off on telling others that they're wrong.
I bought a rear projection HDTV also. Yes, it's huge and bulky. But for the price and picture quality, it can't be beat. $1000 for a 42" 16:9 set with amazing an picture, I wasn't about to spend two or three times as much for what I considered to be a big step down in picture.
I guess I still don't understand. To most people, a computer is a tool. It's like a hammer. As long as it pounds in nails, it really doesn't matter if it's yellow, red, wood, plastic, it just doesn't make a difference.
Those of us who inhabit nerd havens such as/. seem to lose sight of the fact that most people simply don't care about computers enough to develop preferences. As long as it performs the task they want to achieve, it doesn't matter what's under the hood, so to speak.
And why standardize the Linux distro to be deployed? Let the kids choose which distro suits them best.After all, all these distros aim at the same thing : be a capable and functional desktop OS
Apparently you missed the part where the student stated that he "Didn't care" whether it was Windows or not. Do you really think he's going to be concerned about which Linux distro is installed?

Must be convenient for assholes like you to have Bush to blame for everything.
"Of course I stole office supplies from my employer. Just look at the president."
Tell that to the hundreds upon hundreds of people who have been known to show up during a major in game event.

Hey, it's all in good fun.
At least HPs servers help our trains run on time.
I clicked on Start, and Run, and typed apt-get and it didn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?
You may want to put a few more layers on that tin foil cap.

Good for you. You stick to your 17" laptop screen. I'll enjoy my 42" HD set.
Oh, and my penis bigger than yours too.

When all else fails, call your opponent a bigot. Why not just cut to the chase and compare him to Hitler?

I'm sure all of the video game companies are crushed to have lost the potential business of a person who spends no money on entertainment. At all.
I realize bashing MS around here scores you points, but please be knowledgeable before you try to bash them.

For people with a modded Xbox, other than lacking TV tuner support it's a pretty full featured system.

Brilliant. That a perfect summary of how most evil laws designed to fill someone's pockets are shoved off on an unwitting public.
Wait, metric planets? Are you trying to claim we have 10 now?
When the cost of the Iraq war nears $.5 trillion, 15.5 won't sound so bad.

So if the submitter thought the title was incorrect, what's the point of the damn article? Why was this even posted?

Yet, somehow, it makes me feel smaller than ever.
