I must have missed the footnote on dictionary.com saying "All definitions after the fifth should be ignored because they are either redundant or too obscure to be used in normal sentences."
I would have used one of the more "correct" definitions, but they all had religious significance. But let's be honest, who hasn't considered coding a religion at one point or another.
Anyway,/troll, I do agree that process would have been a better word choice, since usually it's more about clearing your head and planning ahead than lighting candles and slaughtering goats.
If you powered your DVD player/TV through your bike you'd get a reduction in your power bill. You don't need the gov'ment to save you money!:)
(Fine Print: I'm aware that this is not feasible for most people and the price of setting something like that up would vastly outnumber the savings you would receive from it.)
I wasn't aware of that. I guess the country-specific stuff was just the censoring. I know the German Team Fortress 2 game censored out some of the violence and stuff.
Just like the selling and hardware for floppy disks. I still bought them way back when because amazing games were contained within.
Also, if Steam doesn't "unlock" their games if/when they go out of business, there are already methods available to emancipate those games from the Steam system. I'm not terribly worried.
Anyway, this argument happens every damn time on Slashdot when Steam is mentioned. It goes nowhere. You may have the last word if you deem in necessary, good day:)
When what doesn't? Can you give me a date when Steam implodes and goes out of business? This seems to be the main anti-Steam selling point. Under this theory, you also shouldn't buy a car (or anything, for that matter) because eventually it will break.
I'm at work so I can't view the video, but I found something that might be similar that you can do yourself (if you have soldering/wiring/programming experience)
You should also make sure not to bend the cable too much. The zeroes are round and can get through corners OK, but ones are straight and if the corner is too tight they can get stuck and clog up all your datas.
Slashdot Mirror
hah, maybe in the early 90's when "Polygons!!" were a selling point :D

Not to do the asshat dictionary thing, but one definition of a ritual is "any practice or pattern of behavior regularly performed in a set manner."
I think in this context a ritual would be very similar to your definition of a process. :)
Man, I'd hate to be a 2 year old when that tax gets passed.

I wish I had mod points for you, sir, very well stated.

Sorry for the confusion.

If BMW/Ford did go out of business, you would have a limited time to get parts because manufacturers would start phasing out those products.
I agree that the car analogy wasn't the best, but the point I was trying to make remains the same.
That or the game would be so old that I wouldn't want to play it anymore anyways (ie. Quake 3).
Or will be essentially free anyway.

That's not entirely Steam's fault though, that's all government's crazy regulations :)
The higher your K:D ratio, the higher your D:U ratio.
Genius!

Pretty cool stuff.
In Soviet Russia, interface touches you!
Thanks for posting what immediately came to mind when I read the parent.
I get bored of NORMAL porn before five DVDs man. I think you have a problem :)
A cytokine storm already sounds like something that would come from Star Trek.
And I thought Monster cables were bad...

Except that it won't be connected to the internet... that might make Google searches a bit more difficult.
That's what it said on all the pamphlets!
They already have a nerf gun one too.
Saying FPS is "hardcore only" is ridiculous.
Even better, if you ever get a NEW gf you can just reprogram the name tattooed on your back!
You may have a valid point, but your fuck-off attitude in the first sentence made me gloss over most of it.
