I suppose by this logic movie theatres should run gruesome scat-fetish porn because, hey, otherwise they're denying you your right to see what you want! Please.
Poor analogy. This is much more akin to Sony or whoever (I don't know who, don't beat me up about it) forbidding the creation of scat porn DVDs because they hold a monopoly on DVD players... or whatever. More to the point, is censorship not censorship if it's not done by the government? Corporations scare me much more than (supposed) democratic bodies.
Okay, this is a really boring article and I doubt stating so will be very controversial.
Anyhow, I feel like karma whoring or just speaking for no good reason, so I've got a complaint.
BitTorrent is fundamentally a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol. Although often associated with piracy, the BitTorrent protocol was initially conceived with positive intentions.
I resent the implication that pirating is negative.
The new rocket, powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen will carry passengers on a 90 minute round trip flight for somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 euros ($267,000).
For the record, I type fast and learned entirely by myself (and unintentionally). I use the same button for shift and another letter all the time. My fingers and wrists never get tired or sore. I've been told I have good posture, but that was unintentional as well. Not trying to show you up or anything, but you just state that all so matter-of-factually.
Rupert Murdoch is a billionaire right-winger - no surprises here - who makes alot of his money from a network that uses crudity to get ratings and he therefore supports FCC regulation of content. Again, no surprises. A billionaire is right-wing for the sake their own interests to begin with. Capitalist economics make the pursuit of more money the only thing that really matters to capitalists (and many working people). This news is not ironic, it's to be expected.
They have different governments, but they are (and always have been) one country, like Ireland or Korea. Taiwan calls (called?) itself the Republic of China, for fucks sake.
Windows XP was the point when the two product lines merged their underlying technology.
Not quite. Windows 2000 was the point where they finally managed to give Windows NT basically full support for all 95/98(and ME) software. Windows XP, the sequel to 2000, was the operating system that officially replaced the 95/98/ME line.
Although 95% of people may run Windows I seriously doubt 95% of their target market runs Windows
Of course it does. What Linux user has any use for this? This is for gamers and Photoshoppers (many of whom run Mac OS, but not Linux). That doesn't mean there won't be a Linux driver, of course.
With the demand the price will come down as production scales, its just a matter of time until it becomes affordable. In keyboard terms, there's a HUGE difference between $1,500 and "affordable." You do realize people can get good PCs for half that much, right?
If I may comment further... Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to the first (and second) time you enter the Dark World. They've been imitating that since (last time I checked, anyway) but good God it was awesome in A Link to the Past. Thing is, it's not an experience that can be repeated. If you want something that cool, you have to do something else entirely and genius keeps to itself mostly - once in a while it finds you, not the other way around.
Thank you. I was waiting for someone to remember A Link to the Past. Ocarina of Time was a good Zelda game, but A Link to the Past is one of my favorite games ever.
It's definitely satire. This article (among others) proves it. What I find hilarious is how they get flooded by comment from people seriously trying to debate with the site.
Well, pardon us "bad voters" for not wanting to come home smelling like a fucking ashtray when we just want to go out for a drink with some friends.
Are you so blinded by rage when you read someone say that they smoke that you couldn't read the rest of the comment so you just assumed he was complaining about how he had to smoke outside?
I find all these answers surprising, suggesting all sorts of reason why they can't ever qualify as a cult. Isn't the obvious answer (not even trying to be funny here) that everybody hates them?
Don't beat yourself up. I make that same mistake all the time, and I have about as much ability to explain it as you do. Sid Meier himself has admitted many times that Civilization was his taking Sim City to a grander scale. So... yeah.

Like this parent should be modded, I am cracking... up.
A hint: Your next Wikipiedia vandalization might last more than 10 minutes if you don't advertise it on somewhere like Slashdot.

That is all.
Yeah, then Vista Ultimate would only cost $200. Practically free!
How much for one way?
It could if Apple Hardware didn't have a monopoly on Apple Software.
I'm guessing he meant "hippie-chic".

I get the feeling poetry is completely lost on you.
Anyhow, what about Slashdot signatures? I had to truncate mine to make it fit.
Why was THIS moderated Offtopic? *Buckles down*

So... you're saying no one wants one?

Actually, orange juice and soy milk (dunno about real milk) is pretty good.
That's a pretty silly argument. Wanna know why? Because no one's shoeing horses while driving. If they were, such a law might be justified.
