At this point, I think it's pretty clear that the entire Slashdot 'editor' cadre are Taco's stoner dropout college friends. He'll never replace them, because anyone competent would make him look bad, and they can't get jobs elsewhere for obvious reasons. It's the perfect stable state.
On the other hand, I think he's talking about his hero, Hitler, kicking your granny's door down and taking pictures of her in the bath in order to pass them round the SS for masturbation purposes. Since neither of us has any evidence to back up our beliefs about What He Meant To Say But Didn't, I win by default.
1. How dare [private citizens] stop [private citizens] from taking photographs of public places [without any interest in the private citizens that happen incidentally to be in the shot]! Censorship!
2. How dare [the State] take pictures of [private citizens] in public places [for the express purpose of recording and monitoring the acts of those citizens]! Privacy, Police State!
There, fixed that for you. If we're going to debate (I know we're not, but...) let's at least get our terms of reference straight from the start.
There's a school of thought that proposes that all online forums naturally devolve into puerile trolling. However, I don't subscribe to that theory: I think the process needs assistance.
Seriously, it's real. It's not an urban legend. Phantom Menace? Jedi Bratz? Nothing on Leia singing. Nothing on Itchy and Lumpy. That thing will eat your soul, then crap it back out on your face.
Why would I need to RTFA when I can infer backwards from all the wailing and moaning that kids these days just aren't blowing things up like they ought to be?
*Sigh*. I know, but the children are busy having a tantrum. Hopefully once they calm down, they'll RTFA later, and ponder for a second whether they'd like to be living next door to this fellow once they move out of their parents' basements.
Unfortunately, recent selection pressure in Western societies - particularly Europe, and most particularly in the UK - trend towards rewarding early-and-often breeding amongst those least fit to contribute to society. We're creating a new ruling elite from the dregs. It'll be interesting to see how long those of us who produce can go on supporting the consumers.
I was just thinking that right now, some stoner lying on their friend's couch in Los Angeles is saying "Dude! This is my big break! I just need to write a disaster film script about these giant man eating viruses before some other mofo steals it. I'll just get a little baked first..."
"Your mom" is not "most people", and even if she were, the intersection between "your mom" and "people most likely to purchase games" is the empty set.
I'll say it's clueful. The FSF hate the LGPL with a passion. It's their red headed stepchild, and they'd throw it in the wood chipper in a second if they could. By supporting the LGPL, Microsoft are basically trolling Stallman and Moglen.
I'd mod Microsoft -1 troll but +2 funny if I could.
My $30 unbranded ChiPod clone, bought 2 years ago, plays WMAs. A quick trawl through Amazon didn't turn up anything that can't play WMA. I'm really not sure where I'd even buy a player today that doesn't support it. Can you find any, or are you too busy holding the telescope to your eye patch?
His wife, who the fuck cares? At best, the stupid cow had such low self worth - or dreams of riches to come - that she stuck with the vermin even after he'd been busted. If it was a "pact", then she decided that the only people more worthless than her were her children.
I'll call Pascal's Wager on that, and throw out a prayer to Satan to rape them both with flaming porcupines for eternity.
When you speak in huge, run on, sentences, describe your correspondent as "terrorists" and accuse them of "sabotage", and of being paid of Microsoft to peddle "intentionally broken [...] filth", don't be surprised when they back... slowly... away and want nothing to do with you or your paranoid ravings.
Slashdot Mirror
Note: "Wikipedia expects" is not the most compelling technical analysis I've ever read.

Maybe a hooker trading scheme? You can beat a ray traced hooker to death if you can offset it against someone beating an 8 bit bitmap hooker to death?
OK, you can be King of the Retards. Long live the King!
Al Gore would like to have a word with you about just how important it is to beat photo-realistic hookers to death.

Perhaps a big boy could find that article for you?
Nude mud wrestling.
Uh, OK, if you like. I take it that you've never seen the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special?

Three responses:
1. Easy to say.
2. Easy to say.
3. Well, my work here is done.
*Sigh*. I know, but the children are busy having a tantrum. Hopefully once they calm down, they'll RTFA later, and ponder for a second whether they'd like to be living next door to this fellow once they move out of their parents' basements.

I'm using an unmodified AVG 8 - it performs the Slashdotting for me.
If they want to keep Ford in it, then they're going to have to move the setting to a nursing home, which would segue nicely with the Elvis angle.

Yes, it's a serious question.
My $30 unbranded ChiPod clone, bought 2 years ago, plays WMAs. A quick trawl through Amazon didn't turn up anything that can't play WMA. I'm really not sure where I'd even buy a player today that doesn't support it. Can you find any, or are you too busy holding the telescope to your eye patch?
That seems like a reasonable inference. I'd bet that someone is spitting "But it worked when we tested it in the lab!" at this very moment.
His wife, who the fuck cares? At best, the stupid cow had such low self worth - or dreams of riches to come - that she stuck with the vermin even after he'd been busted. If it was a "pact", then she decided that the only people more worthless than her were her children.

And I see no ships.
