"Boss, I have no problems with secretly executing everyone we find." "No wait, I just realized, that's totally batshit insane, isn't it?"
Not in Russia. Here we have no problems executing anyone, even not secretly. Once an admin of a website which criticized local government came to Russia. He was shot right after getting off the plane, in a police car. Oh, I meant to say "it was an accident, the gun misfired" (the official investigation's verdict).
Just wait, until we export this mafia government thing to you.
Why would you need a directory with few thousands of files on the desktop computer?! Well ok, under linux there is/usr/bin (and I don't like this design), but under windows?! And what do you do after you opened this folder?
a man can be detained by the morality police for touching his pregnant wife (they are unclean!) who fainted in a grocery store
Wow! I knew that those fanatics are really fucked up, but this! As far as I know, Islam may condemn and confine women in terms of career, but one of its holiest things were the role of mother and the childhood. The retards who believe in shit like the quoted one must be thrown out of the society. They're clearly just sadistic sociopaths enjoying power and violence, perverting any popular ideology to hide their sick tendencies.
Hmm, this reminds me of my friend talking about music. "Hey, I'm too busy at work. When I drive a car home, I just want something playing along the way".
It doesn't bother him if it is some "uhn-tss, uhn-tss, baby, I want ya..." shit. But it's still shit, you know.
Better idea is to buy a ship and install WiMax or 3G towers on it, then keep it sailing in neutral waters near the shores. On the continent provide VPN services allowing to connect to the ship to avoid IP blocking.
I had no problems with playing DVDs on my Ubuntu. Well, of course the highly praised WinXP offers that, too... Wait, it doesn't!
Oh, and no DRM... I surely miss this "switch off features if the user is doing anything suspicious" feature from Vista. I feel so insecure without a Master observing me and telling me what I can and cannot do with my computer. The restrictions are beneficial for users, everyone knows that.
And there is no Flash for linux available or even planned in the near future. Robert Strohmeyer told so and I believe him. Just ignore all these "Install Flash" suggestions in Firefox, it's non-existent in linux.
Let's better talk about iPhones and Steve Jobs. Because Steve Jobs is sooo cool. The only way linux can survive is being cool. Like in high-school, you know. Try to hang out with cool guys and do everything like them. Then everyone will love you. Of course, if you're not an ugly geek.
high-adrenaline action games that were once the PC's bread and butter
It's more of a confusion than an intended lie, but it's still not true. I always thought that there were two distinct genres - FPS and 3D action games. Or you can call them mouse-controlled action games and gamepad-controlled action games. While the last ones could be ported to PCs, the first ones could not be run properly on consoles. Well, actually with recent innovations in motion capture controllers I guess it's possible now.
Anyway, PCs never saw a big share of those gamepad-controlled (or keyboard-controlled) action games. At least the ones which are 3D.
What Putin and his companions want is clear as the Baikal water - they want money and control over money sources. And by money I mean big money, not some crunches from the small business. Think oil, gas, electricity, banks, transportation. And while it may hurt your little patriotic feelings, they have no special interest in Ukraine. In fact, they will try to get resources wherever they can.
If it was about gas company or state-level corporation, I could believe you. But it is clearly an inner-state business, so I advise you to look upon Ukranian groups, which might be interested in lobbying this law. Something like big outsourcing companies.
It is very convenient to create an image of the big evil enemy outside the country in order to distract people of what's going on behind their backs.
What the heck is 'Interesting' in this comment? I'm not fond of Putin, but what does he have to do with Ukraine? Why 'killing' Ukraine is beneficial to the Russian government?
And these proxies are going to be located... where? Is there still a country, which doesn't play this "freedom of speech and privacy are for pedophiles & terrorists" card?
I think a great movie could be made out of it. Starting with the depiction of a hard urban life of the Chinese youth, showing constraining traditionalism and society oppression. Then escaping from this life to the fantasy on-line world, and as a result, personal degradation (lack of sleep and nutrition, locking themselves in, moving away from relatives and society). Then arrest scene and life in camp. Reestablishing social bindings with other prisoners through uniting against guards and camp administration. Meeting persons, you only communicated with in MMORPG. A famous WoW 'celebrity' appears as a bony autistic teenager, who got beaten by his father. First love with a WoW-addicted girl. Secret brainstorming of an escape plan. The escape, as a first step towards adultery and freedom. The new life.
This thing is going to smoke current CPUs in things like physic operations without the need of anything like CUDA and without the performance limit of the PCIe bus.
Ummm, but videocard has its own super-fast memory (and a lot of it), and it uses direct access to system RAM, while this little thing will have to share the memory access and caches with CPU.
Why do we laugh when Wile. E. Coyote has an anvil dropped on his head or when Dick Van Dyke trips over the ottoman?
I've never understood American cartoons. What's so funny about dropping an anvil on a head? Or a dynamite exploding into face? Or a cake thrown into face?
But I guess I could agree that you're animals, if you tell so.
In theory. In practice, there would not be hundreds of different Christian and Muslim cults if that was true. Thousands of men tried to 'disprove' old teachings, many times it even led to bloodshed. But in fact, in religion not only you can't PROVE anything , you can't even tell if anyone is 'closer' or 'further' from truth. That's why cults can only multiply. Ironically, while the science is evolving by its own means trying to get as closer to the truth as possible, the religion is only following cultural trends in an attempt to get as many followers as it possibly could (ideally - uniting all people in one happy church).
Slashdot Mirror
Sequel is already being made. There were several trailers and screenshots. However, I doubt it will be as good as the original.
I suggest you try Fahnreheit (aka Indigo Prophecy), if you haven't played it yet.
It's rather old, but great.
Got through it in two days, controls are trivial, and a great character-led story is there.

So, from your post, you have sacrificed a lot to earn this clearance, and now you're angry at anyone who gets away with it, right?
So it is truly Ninjas versus Pirates! Let the epic battle commence!
One game (okay, series of games) is not a big share. Comparing to the amount of FPS games it is minuscule.
And personally, I don't see Tomb Raider as a breakthrough in genre.

Also, reminds me of Win NT start-up sound.
Dude, that's totally fucked up.

Looks like another nationalistic rant to me.
...that Mars was covered by a chocolate ocean with marshmallow fish in it.Where do I collect money for my research?
Next stop: Widespread use of foreign proxies
And these proxies are going to be located... where? Is there still a country, which doesn't play this "freedom of speech and privacy are for pedophiles & terrorists" card?

Ah, sweet nerd dreams...
Just when Deus Ex stopped being a science fiction?
I wonder, when they gain sanity and rise against their puny human masters,

I dare to say, that this is totally false.
