"In my neighborhood no one ever got polio. No one, ever. You know why? 'Cause we swam in the East River. We swam in raw sewage! It strengthened our immune systems. The polio never had a prayer; we were tempered in raw shit!"
I haven't played most of the games mentioned in the article, but there's one specific type on interactive fiction I love: Sierra ones.
I didn't have an Internet connection until I was 16 or so, so I spent a lot of time playing these damn games. Police Quest 1/2, Leisure Suit Larry 1/2/3, Space Quest 1/2. In my opinion these are some of the best games ever made. I recall at the age of 5 spending half an hour guessing the answers to the 'age verification' questions in LSL1. That game rocked, despite me not understanding any of the jokes./done
I think it's a good idea to have links to sectional content on the main page, BUT.
This is really ugly. It distracts me while I'm trying to read. I think it belongs more one a side pane somewhere. Look at kuro5hin.org for a good example of this (minus the ads)

Nobody else got the joke, I'm sure, but it's god damned hilarious.
This is EXACTLY why this project will never succeed. The userbase they are targeting has such a wide variety of preferences that a consensus will never be reached.
Bills like this actually tend to go right through. The Liberals, Conservatives, and Bloc all support them, they work nicely on issues like this. The NDP will be opposing this though, I'm almost certain.
It's funny how an issue, (while still an important issue) like gay marriage has so much time and debate spent on it, but a bill like this will likely be put through very quickly and painlessly.

But how fast a document opens is one of my last concerns here.
ROTF!
Great towelie reference
Are you really the soup nazi?

I don't think solitaire, bejewelled, mahjongg, etc. are worth putting in the same category.
It's not gaming, it's killing time.
It's called POSIX.
This story was ripped on for being lame on osnews earlier this week. Now the slashdotters get to make fun of it too.

Mod this man up!
Wouldn't it be ironic of France of all places was the starting point for a global uprising?

Must be Windows then. I don't know of any Linux Shockwave plugin.
Never heard of it.
You are obviously inclined to use Microsoft, so use it. You will only bitch if you use Unix.
That's not true at all. I have cancelled my WoW subscription twice and started it up again without losing any of my characters.

Does this mean that the blocking of ports is illegal?
Please stop posting Dvorak articles. He is a farking troll.
But I don't have a cell phone anymore. Anyone want to loan me one?
Rarr. You ruined my analogy.
To me, it's like charging the driver of a larger car more to renew his plates, than the owner of a compact car. It doesn't make any sense.
