I've played a few games in my lifetime. Generally, doing this is called "playing the game," selling items after stealing them in game is called "needs to find a real job," but is hardly worth getting arrested over.
I now have the task of writing a document listing the main reasons for GPLing the code, and this is where I turn to the highly competent Slashdot crowd
Well, I found the original reference, for everyone who, like me, was confused by this post.
Essentially, the original reference was a story posted to slashdot which involved a comparison between female orgasm, and game playing. The hardwood floor part was there to infer that you would remember the experience of performing cunnilingus on a woman on a hardwood floor because your knees would hurt thereafter.
You outrageous idiots, with your views of what flamebait is, and isn't. I can't stand you. I can't stand looking at you. I hate everything you stand for.
It's people like you who killed my goldfish when I was 5!!
I hope you rot in prison for 640 years, just like that spammer, and all of those kids who figured out the administrative passwords to the laptops their school districts gave them.
Anyway, this is Slashdot. A few years ago when people here actually understood computers, they might have agreed with you (spamming isn't murder, it isn't rape, it shouldn't be sentenced as severely as either).
at PESN. With 20 years of in-the-field fine-tuning, Stirling Energy Systems is now ready to go big -- real big. They signed a purchase agreement Tuesday with Southern California Edison (SEC), to install a 20,000 dish array that will cover 4,500 acres and will be capable of generating 500 megawatts of electricity -- more than all other U.S. solar projects combined -- making this the largest solar installation in the world.
Thank goodness there will be no environmental impact!
I wonder how large a nuclear plant of equivalent output would be.
i don't see many/.'ers getting riled up over horrible medical care in the US and giving people erroneous medical advice and doing surgeries without any education.

Dude, they're being mugged in a video game.

I'm an insensitive clod you insensitive clods!!
That does bring to mind odd thoughts of vegans eating vat-grown hamburgers while watching humans kill each other on CNN.
By your logic, annoying billions is about as bad as killing a single baby.
By that logic, the average Slashdotter would believe that George Lucas deserves the chair.
Well, nyah, I liked Episode III you murderous heathens!

Well, that was your first mistake.
Hey, these jerks abused wikipedia, huh? To market their product?
Yeah, lets FP a story with a link to the ad on Slashdot! That will teach them!
See how many visitors you get now! Abusers.

A high point in Slashdot history, to be sure.
Yeah, ditto. I think that at least 3 mods didn't understand the world "cunnilingus"

Arrrggghhhh!!!

You'll hear from my lawyer.

2600 hours would be far more appropriate.

Certainly. What I'm saying is, people act like these things have zero impact. What I'm saying is, we need to look at the whole matter rationally.
Any idea how many acres the site takes up? We could do a sort of head to head comparison.
People seem to forget that developing land also has an environmental impact.

I was never under the impression that that discussion was one of faith, but, rather, just another problem. Like the prisoner's dilemma.
Of note, while your explanation does seem clearer, Wikipedia does seem to agree with my initial assertion.

Eh, ok, the argument was a stretch. A big one, but I figured a few would bite.
Yup, my PC muscle overtook my rationality at that point.
I've never heard of gays being fired from the CIA.
You rule.
I thought that you were spreading BS in the name of a cause.
It seems that everyone wants to tack their cause onto whatever is in the spotlight.
I apologize. It is appalling that this happened.
Oh, snap! They had a link! It's not just bullshit!
Ohhhh, and TummyX spikes the shot set-up by NitsujTPU.
Good teamwork!!
I guess I really am the twit that you seem to think that I am
Here's my reference, or do you want to mount another baseless attack on me.
Never us a long word where a short one will do.
Ok, I won't, but don't you think that use would have been a much better word than us there?

Do you have a link to an article? I'm interested in reading more about this incident.
Actually, people have.
