"The MPAA said it would also make available a computer program that sniffs out movie and music files on a user's computer as well as any installed file sharing programs. The MPAA said the information detected by the free program would not be shared with it or any other body, but could be used to remove any 'infringing movies or music files' and remove file sharing programs."
This is different than terrorism how? I'd expect this shit from Al Qaeda, not the guys who back the companies that bring me my movies.
Some study stated that the municipal tap water of New York was cleaner (fewer bacteria, fewer toxins) than something like 95% of the bottled water products...
That is hardly a fair comparison considering New York has the best water in of any city in the entire world. Engineers from around the world travel to New York each year to learn how New York created their system and it is the benchmark that all other city's water is measured from.
Richard Garriott, the creator of the Ultima series of CRPGS, has cited this game as an inspiration of his first commercial game Akalabeth in an interview on the Ultima Collection CD. He says this game was the current 3D state of the art at that time.
Good prank to play on GWB: Tell him to call you and that your phone number is 9-113-1147 (or basically 9-11x-xxxx). I always used to put that on those notecards the teachers would pass around for you to write your contact info on during the first day of classes so that if the teacher ever had to call my mom they'd end up getting a visit from the cops. Oh yeah and if anyone asks why the prefix is a 9, just say its because it's your cellphone. Poor computer science teacher, didn't know what hit him until he was getting bent over and frisked by 3 large cops after he tried to call my friend's parents to complain.
Every man and his dog is making an "iPod killer" these days. But none of em seem to get it.
But not every "iPod killer" comes with a chance at winning a free trip into space. If Virgin Entertainment partnered up with Virgin Galactic, maybe it could take a chunk out of iPod if it was promoted this way. In general I do like the look, it is even amusing how much the page selling it looks and feels like an Apple.com page in terms of the quippy headlines, funny pics, and informative paragraph of text.
No way this is just a hoax. More likely what really happened is the sysadmin who removed the virus found 400 chinese porn sites and when the user was confronted about this he just blamed the virus.
Writing the speeches of your conquered enemies. You know this is the exact same tactic Julius Caesar used against the nations he conquered, and he was one of Rome's greatest leaders.
I'll be telling them I was in #spaceshipone on irc.freenode.net bitching about how all these people on the webcast wouldn't shut the hell up with their pseudo-inspirational bullshit.

For those of us who don't pre-order EQ2, our chances of surviving and reproducing just went way up.
Mount Doom.
If these games were so great why aren't they still played today? Nethack is almost this old and is still played by thousands of people daily.

Is it ironic that this is a porn movie that was buried and dug up, about people having sex with other people who were buried and then dug up?
Nasty little creatures, these hobbitses.
Oh that makes sense. I thought it was something about firefox.
Animusic is bullshit. To quote Mojo Nixon:
A drum machine don't get drunk
and try to start a fight
it don't sneak around the back door
and try to screw your wife
cuz machines aint music
and a chicken aint no duck
Apparantly, 95% of Slashdotters are too dumb to understand the grandparent comment.

I would love to try this on mac. Will 2.0 work natively with on OS X with an aquified GUI?

In other news, Firefox and Linux usage dropped dramatically today and Apple has just declared bankruptcy.

Going into space would be awesome, but I'd rather be able to read slashdot in firefox.
At least spot doesn't have prerequesites
Woohoo I think I've just successfully invented a new type of troll.

To sum up, worked-for-caesar.
How to win contest:
One post on usenet with your email address complaining about your small penis size. Then just sit back and wait.
Anatomy of a lan party:
Lots of penises.

An operating system is upstart when someone you know is using it, it becomes prevalent when you yourself start to use it.
Clearly you didn't see September 20th cover of Time Magazine.
