If I throw a party and tell people to bring a few friends, I'm not expecting them to buy a billboard advertizing the party and then have a thousand people show up. Content on the net has an expected sized audience. When/. fucks up a site, it's just mean because so few ever see the site before it gets fucked, then stays fucked for a week.
If a site knew it could be slashdotted from the start it might redirect anyone from/. to goatse. The party analogy is that I have to tell the 1000 unexpected people showing up to leave, and that takes up my time. In the virtual world, that means bandwidth is taken up telling the slashdotters to leave.
And/. is blameless? Fuck no. His statement got discussion going on/. which is a hell of a lot more effective than your idea. He would prefer/. never do this to anyone again without permission. He is not interested in diverting the/. effect, he wants it controlled.
There was about a 1 in 365.25 chance of the dates coinciding since the events are utterly separate. I'm sure we could come up with 364 other important events conspiracy theorists are taken with to cover all the other days of the year.
You don't think business leaders are incapable of seeing profit opportunities when politics creates them? If Iraq didn't have oil it would get as much aid as Afghanistan, which as you said is Jack in comparison. Do you honestly believe Businesses don't try to twist global politics to their advantage? You think they just stick to municipalities and their state Congressperson? How naive.
A couple of years ago I dreamed of making an open source racing game. People could send me photos of my neighboorhood for textures, along with upload models of their house and those nearby. With enough creative texture reduction, and reducing houses into repeatable blocks, I'd map about four square miles and be able to race though it. Technically its something of a pipe dream, but some might think it ought to be illegal because I wanted to speed though my neighboorhood doing acts that are obviously illegal in real life.
Its funny because the idea is so absurd that there are not any casualties. The media isn't reporting casualties, but I'm guessing there are quite a few.
The military is allowing the press to travel with units but there are restrictions. All satelite, audio, and text feeds/reports have to be OK'd by the military. The military is not about to allow negative things reported of it. In the case of live audio and video, the military will put a stop to anything it doesn't like as quick as it can.
Also, any press pass can be revoked at any time, and there are no appeals for revokation. What does this imply? It implies that any reporter saying significantly unfavorable things will be kicked out out of Iraq. Ostensibly this is to keep the press from reporting confidential information. Still it has a chilling effect on anyone trying to report unbiased, complete journalism.
It definitely looks quite good, but is he wearing perfectly applied lipstick? In the inside corners of the eyes, where is the blood and uneven, soft tissue? I'm impressed though.
Hey check out the bully who isn't smart enough to craft a good flame. Your sister told me to tell you to shut the fuck up and go back to kicking street animals and stealing kids' lunch money. She would say so if she weren't busy sucking my long hard dick.
2-points karma, gone. Nothing personal, you just deserve this and I feel like onwing up to my words.
So you're slamming plastic boxes because they use a subwoofer instead of wood to generate bass? If bass is mostly non-directional, why does it matter where the bass comes from? Plastic+subwoofer= just a different way of getting the same sound, doesn't it? Cheap plastic will sound bad, but there are $1000 plastic systems at Circuit City with a subwoofer. Please explain.
Define "worth." I have $300 THX certified 4.1 speakers and am almost completely satisfied with them. I suspect they would sound even better with less hiss if I got an Audigy 1 or 2 because of the higher S/N separation. How much do I have to pay for a 5.1 system worth listening to? $500? $800? I'd rather put that money into my computer, or a new HD-MP3 player.
Sega can step in on the xbox for multiplayer. Sega Sports titles are incredibly close to EA for quality. Sega has the multiplayer experience. Of course Sega would rather own its own servers, but that's true of all companies. The problem with Sony's solution is that gamers have to pay $5 or $10 a month to each company that makes the titles they want to play online. I don't think many people will pay $10 to Sony for Everquest, $5 to EA for Football, $5 to Tecmo for DOA online.
When you die +50, 75, xxx years later, your work will be public domain, and everyone can enjoy your work from the original 100 free copies whether you want that or not. It would be a very unusual situation where after 20 years you would still insist on giving away your work for free to a select number of people, and yet still care that the rest of the world not see your work. Lessig's idea still doesn't satisfy me because Disney can pay to keep Mickey indefinitely. I don't particularly care for Mickey, but public domain or new, original Bugs Bunny cartoons would be great.
Why do you think I picked a $30 scientific calculator and not an original Pentium? My point is that simple electronics CAN be bug free with enough testing and checking. I'm guessing this gun does not have anything near the complexity of a Pentium or your AU$120 calculator inside. Your calc is about US$60 IIRC.
When was the last time a $30 scientific calculator malfunctioned because of a glitch, or hardware bug? The electronics, once properly tested and simplified, will work perfectly, provided they aren't soaking in water. I don't know about how waterproof this gun is, but I know electronics CAN be made almost perfectly reliable. 99.999% reliablilty type.
Are the emissions worse than a Ford Explorer? If I ride this bike five miles to the suburban mall, and my neighboor takes his Explorer, with no other passengers, to the same mall, who pollutes the environment worse? Is the noise from this worse than that Explorer rumbling down the street?
Wouldn't playing an FPS be better if the left hand held half of a controller with an analog stick instead of a d-pad? Wouldn't analog running/strafing be better for the games than 8-direction running? Essentially take a Belkin Nostromo n50 Speedpad and replace the d-pad with analog control. What do you think?
I just finished watching an episode of The Next Generation, surfed to slashdot, and get hit with what sounds like technobable. It took me two readings to understand what it meant, and not automatically dismiss it as hooey.
anyone reading/. for 3 years and has enough intelligence knows that most of your bullet points are not black and white./. may lean towards one point of view, but I absorb opinions from all camps and create my own.
The e-mail is funny. Most of the other flash there simply isn't. The flash is justified, because as a graphical platform it works great. The amount of effects that can be created with vectors in a small file size are excellent. Having a Microsoft OS installed, I see no problem with installing flash because it works like it should and isn't intrusive, unlike Real One Player.
Re-read the article, air is injected into the water intake before steam is added. The air bubbles in the water affect how the steam reacts with the water/air mixture and helps produce the shockwave critical for propulsion.

Well if you're only cheating in the single player game you're not ruining the game for everybody else. So you've successfully disagreed with nothing.

Considering you user ID you must be new here. How long have you had this account anyway? Is it a duplicate after you maxed or tired of your original?
When DVDs came to market, I thought there was already a long lasting green laser available. How come DVDs use red lasers instead of green?

About 11 times. I expect that number to increase shortly before and after the sequels come out.
