What a coincidence. All of them have good skin, large boobs, and fairly trim wastes. Am I the only one who thinks there is at least a bit of Milli Vanilli or Backstreet Boys to this group? Do they have anything to do with girls in gaming, or just to get pimply nerds even more hot and bothered than Lara or DOA?
Largely correct, except that you must replace "Christian" with "fundamentalist Christian" in every instance.
The Rapture also has little to do with not dying. Christ's appearance on Earth ca. 2000 years ago meant that none of us will 'die', but will live forever through Christ.
They successfully sued Tengen based on some issues having to do with the Nintendo logo on cartridge insertion/startup, IIRC, not on physical and electrical layout of the cartridge.
've covered this topic before, but anyone who has read Darwin will know that in order for anything to advance according to the evolutionary model, there needs to be a lot of different instances of a given thing...the process needs to experiment with a lot of different mutations before it is decided which mutations are permanently integrated into new generations of the organism. The more different distributions and forms of Linux exist, the more this process in encouraged.
Screw you, you dirty hippie. I believe that the Lord Almighty created the heavens and Earth in six days. On the seventh day, he rested (and later, the Jews killed him/his son). My faith in intelligent design is as strong as my faith in the OS I currently use, Windows 2.0
That's why I skip most of 'em. With rare exceptions, I don't buy games on release day, and wait for a demo. If the demo sucks, the game will usually suck as well. Given time/money constraints, I only want to play what I view as the 'best of the best'.
Which leads into one of the reviewer's complaints: numerical scores. These are an utter waste of time and energy. How can one number (or even three or four) possibly capture a game. I've got two speakers, so who cares about the audio portion? I like the same old shit (mostly) so who cares about 'originality'?
The worst thing about game reviews is something he buries pretty deeply: not slagging companies for unpatched trash. How many of us have read a review that says "I'm sure these issues will be fixed by the forthcoming patch". If we're lucky, the patch shows up quickly. But given the short lifespan of a game company (or the disregard for the customer by the survivors), why should we expect a patch? Much like the movie industry, the games industry seems most interested in the first week(s) of a title's release. If it has legs, fine, if not, here comes Redneck Muthatruckers 17.
Read lots of reviews. Find reviewers who generally agree with you on some titles in your library. Rate those reviews slightly higher than others. Read the support forums for a week or a month, or whatever. Wait for a demo and play it. Then, and only then, do you make a purchase.
If you aren't doing this, you've got enough money that I really don't care about your bitching because you bought a game that sucked, particularly if you bought it within a week of release. I learned my lesson with Black and White: don't trust game reviews.
You are absolutely right. This is how I record ER (yeah, yeah, I know, fuck off) since NBC erroneously lists the start time as 9:59, and I ain't cuttin' into CSI.
Google for Watchmen, and get your ass somewhere, anywhere, and buy a copy. Then remember that SuperFriends wasn't far from the state of comics when it came out.
You're the one bitching about not making enough money, possibly at the expense of the safety of an unrelated third party,
Did I say anything of the sort?
You didn't say it, but I infer that due to your silence (at the time I wrote my comment and again as I write this one) to comments and concerns like those voiced here. If you were making something that could only affect the seller and buyer, okay. But it has been pointed out several times in the thread that the purpose of these laws is to safeguard other people.
I'm pursuing interesting discourse, and I want to hear others' opinion. I'm not calling names or trying to shut down the topic.
Fair enough. Similarly, I'm interested in how your argument relates to the concerns raised in the above linked comment.

Not sure why the fundies can't grasp that.
They have this fun new pasttime called 'fucking a member of the opposite sex'. It's like masturbation, but way, WAY better.
Seriously.
This joke would have been funnier if it weren't for the fact that even nerdier types have already corrected your errors:)
Don't forget that sourceforge, owned by the same company as Slashdot, hosted floodmt for a time. Way to go guys!
(And yes, I'm one of the bloggers mentioned on the floodmt pages)
Most weather forecasters are just reading NOAA or NWS feeds anyway.
And your girlfriend's pussy isn't all that sensitive. Her backdoor, OTOH...
The tracker has md5 sums and a pointer to the seed, rarely a seed itself.

I find it lidicrous how people making 100000$ or more a year, just canot spell or at least use the spelchecker.
Hey, I'm not the one who works for a retarded shrimp company owner.
Or who voted for a retarded oil company owner.
Yes, it's peaceful. Were it violent, someone would be physically hurt. Yes, let's get our facts straight.
The 'network' is being complicit in aiding the spammer. Fuck them too.
Can you set it up so that the blogging teen hires a hitman to kill her mother?

Wil, can you lift the restraining order? Please? I just want to talk. I've been on my meds this time.

but it is better than predictions the other way
A pessimistic prediction can be spun today by saying:
"Gartner doesn't think much of possibility of Linux on the desktop"
An optimistic prediction (that the submitter thinks lies here), if proven optimistic will be:
"Linux adoption fails to meet expectations"
The latter is a bigger concern, so I disagree that optimistic predictions are better. More adoptions than expected is better.

Have a kid. Then you'll be in favor of 11th trimester abortions.
It's obvious: I'm a gamer, and I use Linux on the desktop. Saw some clown on the web claiming that crap.
It also seems that we are an overly sensitive bunch...
What is the B&D mod?
Was cleaning up the garage today. Found a corded and a cordless Dremel, as well as four soldering irons.
I tried to validate slashdot from that url, and got an error. So I'm not sure.

Lacking 'safe' vs. 'devel' kernel branches, what category does this point release fall into?
