I come here for the nerdy, techy, geeky news items of the day. This story is none of those.
There are plenty of sites that I can go to that cover the activist social ranting scene. There is only one Slashdot. Please don't wreck the latter by trying to make it the former.
According to a prior slashdot article, SpaceX is slated for another demonstration launch late November, this time docking with the ISS. Yes, it is a demo flight so, yes, you can't trust it to succeed. Still, is there any reason they cant load up the Dragon capsule with [critically required items]?
If it takes weeks for news to get here it is because no one submits a story on that subject. The editors on/. may occasionally take a lax attitude towards grammar and punctuation but I've found that they're fairly quick on approving breaking news articles.
Wow. I heard this same crap ten years ago or so. 'Video games are too long', 'Video games cost too much', 'If the game is shorter, it'll be super awesome'.
Then, as now, it's all about charging more for less. Same Shit, Different Decade.
Oddly enough, John Carmack says something similar in his 2011 Quakecon Keynote. Ninety minutes of rambling on about Rage, the importance of static code analysis and programming the Xbox360 and PS3 to the metal. Well worth watching.
The other one sadly is either monthly fees or things like this PSN Pass.
I believe you are mistaking PSN Pass with PSN Plus. Plus is the service that extends free PSN with free-to-play titles, discounts and other such junk. Pass appears to be the standard lock-out-the-used-game-buyers methodology used by Electronic Arts.

Really? This is what it's come to?

This is bad. Would the same thing happen to MS i dont think /.ers would skip the possibility to bash them.
Nah. They wouldn't bash them. cmd them, maybe. But not bash them.

Well DUUUHHHH, considering that there were no software engineers in 1929...
Moses, "The Lord, the Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen... ", *CRASH*, "Oy! Ten! Ten commandments for all to obey!"
OK, that's it. Sonic for lunch.

Not a decision. This is Texas House Bill 1841, so it isn't the result of a lawsuit.
They must have got the mat.

Btus? Can't we just stick to standards?
In the United States the standard IS BTUs.
and Mojo is clearly missing.
Well, DUH! Fat Bastard took it.
Conventional Burial? Cremation? Crygenic Preservation? . . /dev/null ?
Buried in a crypt, of course.
Yea, I'm hearing the ringing as well. Google seems to be the target of some sort of campaign, but... from whom? And why?
Don't worry, I'm sure the Apple drones will get out of bed sometime soon and balance things out.
Oh... I didn't realize this was an article on norton/mccafee antivirus.
