"the ASPCA will be protesting this game, mark my words."
I don't think so; they haven't complained before. They didn't complain when Quake had you shooting and blowing up rottweilers or when Wolfenstein had you gunning down German shepherds. How will this be any different from those?
...how about having the IP address of every disgusting troll banned for two weeks from Slashdot? It'd sure increase the morality of the comments, not to mention getting rid of all those morons.
(Anti-Linus, Anti-RMS, ASCII art, goatse, L337 5P34K, personal attacks, pr0n links, repetitive posts [same post made over a range of time, be it short or long; e.g., Bob Abooey], and stupidity in action are all examples of "disgusting trolls")
P.S.: To those moderators stabbing for the moderation box looking for "Offtopic", go use your moderation points elsewhere. Slashdot itself is always the topic, especially when the principles of a story can be applied to improve the site. Go find those trolls and moderate them down. Or better yet, find an insightful or interesting post, and moderate it up.
You're thinking of steam, but what did it take to make the steam? THE COMBUSTION OF FOSSIL FUELS!!
I'm talking about some other method; nuclear fission is one method, but is incredibly cumbersome and dangerous. Perhaps some chemical reaction involving water and a safe additive may be the answer...
...and it doesn't work worth a damn. They only set up antennas in a few points of the campus, and there's absolutely no reception except for within 50 feet of the antenna.
If Georgia Tech wants to get campus-wide coverage, they'll have to dot the entire campus with hundreds of these antennas. Not to mention the cat5 cable it'll take to hook up those antennas to the school network.
...until some of the more diverse distros start doing stupid things. Thankfully, the only notable example I have right now is rhnsd in RedHat 7 (the bug where all of your file descriptors get eaten up in a matter of weeks). However, I fear that different distros might start forking from the main Linux movement, be it in provided software, drivers, glibc, or in other parts.
Windows doesn't have a diversity problem at all; after all, Microsoft is the sole distributor of Windows. However, back in the DOS days, I can remember not being able to format or rescue a machine that was running PC DOS by IBM.
Let's hope that the Linux distro companies don't start making the same mistakes that IBM did with PC DOS or OS/2.
...the satellite connection itself. Satellite "broadband" definetly isn't for gamers, since it has a 400-plus ping at best; and until now with this new modem for Linux, the setup was a nightmare.
Satellite "broadband" is really more useful for people who just want to browse web pages. For gaming/becoming a game server, a cable modem or high-end, non-baby-bell DSL is the way to go. Of course, if those two methods aren't available in your area, the only way to get something above 56Kbps is with a T1 line, and those run for about $1000 per month.
There are several of these MMORPG's kicking around, and while I applaud their efforts I have this sneaking suspicion that the amount of work required is so high that none of them will ever be completed.
That's true for developing the game AND playing it. Anyone who knows/is an addicted EverCrack player knows this firsthand.
I can imagine this thing in action...

Did you know that the space shuttle Columbia, on its first flight, entered the atmosphere at Mach 27? When it hit the lower reaches of the atmosphere, observers heard a triple sonic boom.

Good point. With that in mind, I wonder how Serious Sam will fare with the ASPCA.
...with a grain of salt.

Wow. That's a big move. I wonder if it'll be an improvement.
Just pray that CmdrTaco or Hemos don't get wind of this idea. Pray, because that's all that you can do.

More like "If you can't sue their pants off, purchase their assets and give 'em all pink slips!"
If some company makes an engine powered by water, we will be saved. Otherwise, we're all screwd.

I wonder how this distro will run when sour, hmmm...
All he has to do is apply for a job at eFront.com or GovWorks.com.
Snap-in! Microsoft wanted to sidestep Netscape's patent, so they called them "snap-ins".
Click your mouse to position the paddle, drag it to slide the paddle.
Slashdot could've had a one-day jump on this! But nooo...
Save that one for later, though, that's funny!
That's "MCSE". You should know it by now. Or have you already forgotten your A-plus training?

Damn!
...if a company hands me an 'Inventions & IP Rights' contract to sign, I'll invent a novel way to destroy the contract without signing it.
'nuff said.
Any "religion" that can claim copyrights is inherently evil. I'm guessing that Panoussis has thrown out his copy of Dianetics by now.
