I find that hard to believe. If I make a movie about a great story in space where some guy has the ability to use "The power" he ends up doing battle with someone named "Dark Power" who, it turns out, is the first guys father, I'm pretty sure I'm in a mountain of trouble. Even though I never referenced Star Wars/stole any names/stole any terms/ I'm still pretty sure I could get sued.
Most movies in some way are based on something else. It's rare you see a completely original idea(The Truman Show, The Matrix, etc.).
Yeah, that happened to me all the time in Jedi Knight 2. I'd accept someone's duel, put them down in one pass, and next thing I know I'm back at the menu screen. Some people just cannot handle the skillz.
The Catholic Church, BTW, doesn't think it's a sin to RP - they supported the LOTR as a wholesome movie about a fight between good and evil.
So was Doom.
Yeah, my mom used to say the same thing. So I sacrificed her to goat-headed god. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW YA WHINY BITCH?! AHAHHAHAHA..yes master, sorry master.
Don't even get me started. First year of college I was so gung-ho about playing that game. My friends and I went nuts with planning it. We were going to have cars waiting, back door exits unclocked thanks to stolen janitor keys, the works.
We're walking down to the student union to get our guns and get the photos taken, when we look on the TV to see that some no-name high school in Colorado just had 2 kids go nuts and waste a dozen people.
They decided that "assasins" was no longer PC, and tried to make it "sticker" tag, where instead of blasting someone with a super soaker in the back of the head during their dif-eq final, we now had to place cutesy stickers on their clothing to tag them out.
I liked when Principal Skinner was trying to find bar, who was playing hookie. It shows him look up that huge electronic map of the school and go "Damnit, if only more of the children had gone along with the electronic tracking devices!"
It cuts to Martin Prince in class with this massive LED coming out of his temple starting giving off this rythmic pulsing+beep, it was great.
I agree completely. The funniest thing on this entire site is that in all honesty, probably close to 90% of these so called Linux users don't run it because of it's stability or reliability. They run it out of some pathetic attempt and self-righteousness(sp?) thinking that in their small little way they've stuck it to the man and got their blown in for the little guy. And the minute after the post their stupid little windows haikus which get modded up to 7-Most Briliant Damn Thing I've ever heard, it's right back to EQ for the script kiddies.
Kids, seriously, shut the fuck up. No one cares what you run. Mod this down all you like, I'd rather be an honest troll than a self-delusional karma whore.
I fail to see how that deserved a troll rating. Oh wait, that's right, slashdotters don't read anything literature besides things that are about robots and hackers. Silly me.
I read they apparently shut down a rather large section of L.A. to film the helicopter/bus sequence in Swordfish, so it is possible to some extent. I don't know the population of Sydney, but I'm willing to bet they aren't all die-hard Matrix fans.
I once wondered who has the lowest UID's on here, like 1-100. I'm assuming 1-10 are the original moderators, but who was the first TRUE, public, just-wandered-in, registered user?
My grandmother went to high school with a guy named Harry Butt. People, I shit you not, I've seen her yearbook(of course, her yearbook is printed on a cave wall in animal blood, but you can still see it).
And as you can see by this diagram, when attempting to talk to the outside world through our respective cable modems, we encounter a phenomenom known locally as "The bottle neck of no hope". And while getting 45Mbps locally is all fine and dandy, you must understand we were able to share everything we have with every one of our neighbors in roughly 15 minutes.
I really hope those guys are gamers, otherwise that network is just massive overkill.
I always got my through humor. In that situation I would've said "Fine, but not your mom your sister. I had just about all the team sports with them I can handle for one week."
We had people like that in my high school. Sraight-A's on their report cards. During study sessions, though, they seemed to have amnesia abou the class material. How very odd.
Exactly. I can't count the times the entire school was forced to go to a pep-rally(they locked the doors, and at the end they gave you a ticket, you needed the ticket to get on the school bus)during 6th period enlish ap while we were reading something these football players couldn't read if they tried for a million years.
Or maybe they're not into math, or science. Why should schools cater to students who enjoy those activities?
They don't. That's the entire point of my post. Put the football down, son.
I know a lot of people who were never able to do either of these things, yet they always managed to get A's in Phys Ed.
I'm actually talking about extra-cirricular sports, not school enforced classes.
And the people that play computer games all day are the ones we'll be taking care of in the hospitals when they have their fourth heart attacks.
Funny, I consider myself a major computer nerd and I'll relatively healthy. I play tennis with friends all the time.
High School math hasn't changed in 15 years. Cheerleader outfit styles have.
You truly are an idiot, you know that? You missed the point so much that I doubt I could ever bring you around again. You're either a cheerleader or the simplest human being alive..no, wait, that'd be..
Ultimately maybe your school had a poor balance. That's no reason to claim that all schools do, or that we should throw out sports completely
Well, I can think of one school that regrets that imbalance everyday.
Yes, but maybe they're not into sports. Maybe the school should actually make an effort to cater to what they like instead of telling them what group activities the school feels they should do.
Your's is the same mentality that led to Columbine. We a have a generation of educated, talented children that are being told if they can't dunk or throw and 80 yard pass they aren't worth shit in high school. The people that will one day run everything are the nerds and geeks of high schools today, and the star high school athletes will be the guy installing my pool or re-shingling my roof in 10 years.
I for one, harbor a deep hatred towards the way schools treat atheletes vs. the way they treat scholars. When I was in high school, I was using a 15 year old math book and then went to assemblies where all the cheerleaders had new uniforms. The chemistry equipment was so old that the reminents of 1000 past experiments were stuck to beakers, leading to some rather bad, unforseen chemical reactions. But what do you know? They just installed new tennis courts and an olympic swimming pool..good for them.

Slashdot is like the Nothing from the Never Ending Story. It's a dark, fast moving plaque on the land from which their is no escape.

For some things their are AWP's, for everything else, their's OGC.

Yeah, but it was done really poorly. If you look close, you can still see a few hundred thousand craft flying by them. Total movie mistake.

Disregard my above post. I misread your reply.
That's beside the point. It's not about what you think I should do. It's about what I enjoy.
