You're stupid partizanship is really annoying. How do you exspect people to take 'YRO' stuff seriously if you use it as a platform to attack Coke while heralding Pepsi (the diffrences between the reps and dems is about the same as the diffrences between coke and pepsi).
Any game that could be done with multiple players, could be done online. But, it makes things a lot easier to set up. I usualy play quake3 with frends, rather then with random, unknown people
The trend is away from stateless game machines (IE, you just plug in the game and go, no external things to worry about) to more of a PC type system with expansions, and network connections, and all sorts of other potential problems.
The PC's gaming advantages are in its capabilities. Networking, persistent storage, expandability, etc. Stateless game machines can't do that. But as networking is becoming important for the game play, consoles need to adapt to it, and lose their 'statelessness'
One possible solution to the revenue question JC posed is in the free internet model, where the game machine shows ads or whatever from Nintendo to the users when they log on. That market might even yield more revenue then straight game sales...
Smoking a filtered cigarette would probably be a lot safer then smoking some home-grown tabbaca, Cig companies invest billions into the safety of their products.
Anyway, it would be safer because the companies would actually do purity control to make sure they couldn't get sued.
If I take some codeine from a pharmacy (witch probably got it from a multinational pharmaceutical company), I'll know exactly how much I'm taking. With heroin from a dealer, I'd have no idea.
I'm pretty sure it was MLK's plan to get arrested, the violence and brutality displayed by the anti-civil-rights people against the non-violent pro-civil-rights people had a lot to do with more people being on the pro-civil-rights side. People who may have been against civil rights were discussed by the brutality of the oppressors. That was the whole point.
But anyway, no one gives a fuck about PETA, and there is no shock value left in the US.
"News for nerds, stuff that matters" two separate things.
Does the presidential election matter? Not really, but to some people it does, including CT. No one ever said slashdot was a tech-only site, rather this is a news-entertainment site targeted at 'nerds'. Nerds like tech, in general, but this site is about posting whatever CT and the other editors want.
If you don't read slashdot for political opinion, then don't. Ignore it and stop posting annoying flame.
he said he created it, or at least 'took the initiative in creating' it. Witch could mean either that he created it himself, or lead other people to created it.
Neither is true, btw. The internet was around while gore was still in collage.
To use a programming example, governement is like shared libraries. It's more efficient to pool our resources that try to do the heavy-lifting by ourselves. By that pooling doesn't free us of individual responsibility.
In my exsperiance, its best not to use a programming example for anything other then programming...
Someone needs to wonk that policy, where do you think it comes from, I hope you don't think Our elected representatives actualy sit down and write it...
As far as raising taxes, have you ever heard of a thing called the "National Dept?" Well, it is not going to pay itself.
If you have a credit card, and you make the payments every year, will it go away by itself?
Yes.
If we stop running up the debt, it will pay itself away. The nation is running a surplus now, as long as it continues to do that, the debt will go away.
Good for them! Email needs to be read by someone, why not the government?
But seriously, this is a bad thing. It's a bad thing in the US, a bad thing in NZ, and a bad thing wherever else this type of thing happens. As superfluous laws crated solely to appease brain-dead voters (such as anti-porn/anti-prostitution, and especially in the US anti-drug laws). The Modern big governments seek to make anything that might be considered 'immoral' by anyone illegal, and make criminals out of all of us. And criminals need to be watched of course. Grab your guns people, our freedoms are being taken away every day.

Well, I for one certanly won't, thats for sure.
Are you going to start suing trolls on slashdot for needlessly consuming your bandwidth?
See that pulldown at the top of the page, the one that says 'threshold'?
Its interesting, if the government allowed the injunction, it would be almost like requireing people to listen to and recive spammers.
I don't think spam has any valid claim to legal defense.

Then where would I be?
Money is the only thing that matters...
i think your right

Socialism and Capitalism cannot co-exist. You can only have one or the other.
Wow, you sure convinced me.
