Lan parties are different than online play, because everyone is in the same room. You know everyone who's there, and you can see them from across the room. Nothing is a substitute for human contact, and playing on battle.net won't be the same.
I ain't really a developer... just a musician. And whenever I have trouble finishing a song, I open up a digital implementation of the Oblique Strategies. The advice they give is pretty vague, so they might be able to help you developers too...though I'd imagine you folks would need your own deck, suited to your field. Should break mental blocks of all sorts.
Totally, I HATE how those open source people update quickly and fix bugs so fast. What is this a race? Slow the fuck down. Some of us have high blood pressure!
Another thing about linux: It boots up too damn fast. When I was using windows, it took 7 minutes before I got to the desktop, and I used that time to make coffee. Now that linux loads so fast, I don't have time to. Thanks for ruining my morning, linux.
And I HATE how all these linux programs can be downloaded at no cost. Before linux, I used to make daily trips to best buy, where my wife works, and purchase software. Now I gotta download everything using some bizzare command called "apt-get" (what the fuck does that mean?). So now when am I gonna spend quality time with my wife?
So yeah, you can take your linux and shove it. Just give me good old crash-a-minute, slow as a snail windows from microsoft. At least they care!
True. If you believed your hypothesis was correct, you might subconsciously alter the way you spoke that would alter the results. Sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy to me.
The high frequency of right-handedness and the resulting cultural bias that associates right hands with what is proper and good. If it were named after this phenomenon, the term would be "right ear man".
So by your account, inbred populations with dangerously low genetic diversity are highly evolved? Did you fall asleep in science class? Or did you just skip class thinking you could already spout nonsense from your armchair.
He didn't need to go on the organ transplant waiting list. There are thousands of apple fanboys who'd gladly give their livers to the almighty jobs in a heartbeat.
He died in a car accident in 2006. The Steve Jobs you see today is a look-alike hired by Apple. The whole illness story was fabricated to explain the subtle differences in appearance between the the look-alike and the real Jobs. What's left of Steve is being held at a cryogenics facility in silicon valley. It's all true. Don't believe me? Play the latest iphone commercial backwards. You can hear a voice say "Steve Jobs is Dead".
Yet again, the Dutch government entirely ignores the welfare of town criers. This is an insult to town criers everywhere! I demand that the dutch government fund the struggling town crier industry by taxing newspaper sales.
Has this ever been done before: Instead of posting your email on a website, post a link to another website which stores contact information and require users to fill out a captcha before they see your email address. (I realize this is obtrusive, and time consuming. Just curious)
The reason digital camera's are taking over is because it caters to a basic human trait.. laziness !!! I predict there will be a backlash when in ten years when no one no longer has there pictures. I still have pictures my father took back in the 50's not to mention I still have his old camera.
Public access to the WWW should be a part of the public broadcasting system for the same reasons information should be freely available to a free people. This, of course, assumes that citizens of the U.S. are still a free people.
Public Broadcasting? Like PBS? The government doesn't run pbs. It grants some funds to it. Otherwise, PBS is independent, and funded by viewers. Same for NPR. From what I understand, this story is about a government run network.
Don't you worry that government run networks would be censored for political purposes?

How the hell are 8 people going to connect to battle net at the same time when I only got one lousy dsl connection! The latency would be unacceptable.
G-G-G-GHOST!!!!!

And most violent crimes involve males. Should we kill all men?
I'll believe it when netcraft confirms it.
Gladwell just doesn't get it. Chris Anderson IS finding ways to make money off of giving things for free.
No really, he took something free (wikipedia) and charged money for it.
Oh, I should add that he makes his readers feel smart... I would guess that's actually the reason he is so successful.
That's so obvious, it ought to be the thesis of a Malcom Gladwell book.
Which means pretty much the end of BitTorrent as we know it, since most of the pirated content in the world is tracked TPB.
I guess the MAFIAA has won, after all.
Ever hear of the hydra?
Thank you for compulsively editing my words to conform to some prescribed set of rules when everybody could understand what I said in the first place.
...Fascist.
Legalizing marijuana is not a good idea because it's popular, but because it's rational.
Yeah, online voting never fails.
So in two years she'll be 18...But still look like shes 3. Uh oh, better watch out for pedo bear.

Also, have you tried meditation?

In other words, MS is protecting users from their own ignorance and/or stupidity.
And nullify what caused them to purchase microsoft products in the first place?

Perhaps Apple IS talking about suing Linux vendors...in secret!
