  1. Re:Wow on Threatening YouTube Video Lands Man In Prison · · Score: 4, Funny

    That was my thought. Cantor is evil, but that's no reason to threaten him. As rewarding as it would be, you can't just string up politicians for being evil.

    I don't recall reading anything in the constitution that forbids "stringing up politicians" so isn't it then left up to the states? Also I don't recall reading any law forbidding it in my state nor local governments so doesn't that mean it's left up for us to decide? :-)

    Linux is a kernel, and it's called Linux, and it's not part of the GNU project. A distribution that includes the GNU tool set and the Linux kernel is a GNU/Linux distribution. This is not a story about a GNU/Linux distribution, it's a story about the kernel. If you're going to be pedantic, get it right.

    This proves my point... thank you kindly.

    Correct or not, it's accepted convention, and more publicly recognizable if people just hear Linux. Yes, most of us know its origins ... this is Gnews for Gnerds.

    Slashdot is a place for overly critical aspies to get together and complain about things that don't really mater. Don't belittle my people damnit.

    Ok, this thing looks cool and I totally wanna try it out, but there's no way in hell I'm downloading an executable from DARPAs website and running it on my PC. I suspect what they are really testing has absolutely nothing to do with submarines.

    Does it run on linux?

    At the end of your "mission" you're asked whether you'd like to submit your (anonymous) game to the DARPA for them to analyze your tactics and how well they worked out:

    As you complete each scenario in the simulation you will be asked if you would like to submit data about your game play to our database for analysis. The data collected doesn't contain any information about you or your computer, or anything else outside of what you did with ACTUV and how well it worked. Good or bad, please agree to submit your data for analysis so that we can see what tactics work (or don't work!).

    Who knows... somebody out there might come up with a strategy that nobody ever thought of before.

    Don't do it because if you do post a strategy nobody ever though of before, you will get visited by a general the next day and then woosh get beamed up to some spaceship built from alien technology.

    Emphasis mine. How can DARPA send someone to meet you if they don't even track who you are?

    You say that like it's a bad thing....

    Agreed... If I recall that guy even got a hot alien girlfriend for a few weeks before she was murdered. Plus working with rush would be a pleasure compared to those I currently work with. Plus plus at least when you're told "we're all going to die if you can't get this alien server up and running again!!!" it wouldn't be a fucking exaggeration.

    Any time I hear child porn used in any argument I shut down and automatically disagree. You see I'm trying to balance out the populace who automatically agree.

    Plus I'm relatively sure everyone already has laws making $you responsible for what you do. Hopefully it will never come to it that what you search for becomes illegal as well. Typing in "child porn" or "movies" into a search engine shouldn't get you flagged at the FBI.
