My fiance's son was recently accused of having ADHD by the social-workers masquerading as "teachers" at his school. See, unlike his older siblings, he doesn't LIKE school. It's not fun to him. He'd rather be outside running around, or shootin' zombies on the PS3, or just hanging out with Mom.
Yes, because when you deal with 150 children every single day, every single year, full-time, you know, for a living you couldn't possibly get good and diagnosing children's behavior thought experience or anything. All you slashtards will cry, "But buy but you can't beat experience, that's all that matters! Unless we're talking about some other career or somebody other than me. Then it doesn't apply."
Hell, I'd like to be running around, or shootin' zombies on the PS3, or just hanging out with your wife. I only get to do the last one, and it costs me $20. But I have to WORK. So does your snot-nosed kid. What do you expect him to do at school, sit on his fat ass and play video games? Eventually he has to learn something, sorry that his childhood isn't all games and play. Some Chinese kid is bustin' his ass off right now and will own the franchise where your son is pushing a mop someday. Here's a hint for ya - that's not "Brave New World" it's the REAL WORLD ya lazy-ass excuse-laying moron.
I do have a problem with the damages awarded though... I mean - How in the world did they come up with this figure?
From wow.com:
The total reward of $88,594,589 comes from $3,053,339 of inappropriate profits, $63,600 of attorney's fees, and $85,478,600 of statutory damages. Statutory damages are damages required by law that are increased for willful and commercially based infringement. Scapegaming may appeal the amount.
There are so many kids going to college who want to be "graphic artists" that yeah, they're cheap. Choose a couple of the decent ones from this year's graduating class of two million and pay 'em a few bucks.
The problem I've had with Spring is that it assumes you've played TA, which I haven't. The game is completely overwhelming and lacks a beginner's guide or tutorial. As with many FOSS games, the documentation sucks. Granted, it's been a while since I looked, and hopefully things have improved.
They're doing it right, by making it a toggle. Silent mode is perfect for Grandma, since every single damn dialogue box turns into a phone call for me.
Man is she losing it. Last week she called me "Schtopi" (her nickname for my deceased grandfather) and tried to cup my balls.
Do you bring your own PCs to this event? Why don't you set some dedicated servers at the event, maybe in a virtual machine if you don't want to haul the equipment around, connect and and play COD2 and Modern Warfare I in protest? If enough people are doing it, it'll gather attention.
Because part of the fun of playing multiplayer games is, you know, playing with other people. None of these freaking open source games ever have any players. I'm not bashing their quality, simply the degree of community acceptance.
You're correct to be paranoid, but that's just the shitty state of the industry that consumers of the service have allowed it degrade into. They have a specialty service and you either play by their crappy rules, or you do it yourself. Kind of like doctors, but without a Hippocratic oath. You could maybe set up some other terms, but then you'll have to pay for it with blood. It sucks, but what are the alternatives. We should demand better, yet we keep allowing this blind faith security hole to continue.
Wrong. The Jews were persecuted because they were being used as a scapegoat. It wasn't legitimate and entirely made up.
CoS is being "persecuted" here because of a pattern of repeatedly submitting shitting articles. I'd hope Wikipedia does more of this. It's a good step towards establishing legitimacy and reliability.
Well, somehow during all this they produced and released Prey. I found it to be a very enjoyable game. It seemed as though, being all aliens and spacey and all, that with some modification it could have been a decent Duke Nukem game. It actually got me kind of excited about DNF, thinking "Wow, Duke will be even better!"
Spring highlights exactly what is wrong with open source games. It isn't documented worth shit, the interface is shit and there's no real single-player game. It assumes you've played Total Annihilation. It's the best diamond-shaped turd I've ever seen.

Hershey Park in PA has a decent number of old arcade machines in their center pavilion, but sadly each each there seems to be a few less.

The Mummy was an okay film but a re-release won't save 3D.
That site is a damned mess.
You're still new. Get out and choose a new career before you lose too much retirement.

I don't think you understand the difference between lying and erroneous reporting.
BOSS - What do you know about computers?
- Well, receiving emails, sending emails, clicking, double clicking, the internet... The list goes on...
BOSS - What is that under my table?
- Your ... secretary?
BOSS - Now you know what you need to do to get a job around here!

No doubt another example of unbiased "journalism" on slashdot. There's nothing in the article to indicate any sort of criminal or illegal activity.
