Any half-decent starcraft player can easily thwart a zerg rush. Example: Put a couple photon cannons in a strategic location such as a choke point leading into your base, then back those cannons up with 5-10 zealots. Make sure each zealot is attacking a different zergling, don't fall in the trap of assigning all your zealots to a single zergling. The p00r n00b need to get some practice because, rush or no rush, they're going to get trampled quite thoroughly until they do.
Now, as for the 'features' blizzard implemented; the original poster makes them sound pretty terrible, and since I'm not going to buy war3 for a while anyways I'll just have to wait to find out. NWN will be good for a while.
The protoss must build within range of a pylon, and are very strong (see how long it takes a couple zealots to take out a siege tank). While the zerg must build on whatever that purple mess is, they are also very weak and must be used in masses. The original statement that the first poster referred to was correct.
The key is that you can't prove any of that. There is no logic to religion. Nearly everyone raised under the philosophy of western logic, however, insists that there is logic to religion and that logic can be used to either prove or disprove religion.
...and before you deride me for being no better than the unthinking joe-sixpack, you should study eastern philosophy.
Philosophically it doesn't matter to the rest of the universe what entity emerges from the destination chamber as long as it's a perfect copy of the original. However, it's still murder.
Please...a perfect copy IS the original. Everything in the universe is made of energy. People are no exception, and one person certainly isn't made of "different" energy than another. Also, for teleportation to work the only thing that can come out of the other end is a perfect copy. We couldn't begin to measure how randomly changing the kinetic energies and translational vectors of the chemicals in your body will affect you.
This should actually be a good test for the existence of the soul as separate from the body - if such a soul exists, the result of teleportation would be the removal of the soul from the body.
Would you care to explain this phenomenon in detail? Oh, wait, you can't prove it but you believe it to be true. You're argument is just as "solid" as the argument of the "fundamentalists" that you deride. You have none.
Since when? None of the EULAs I've read in the past 10 years provided for suing the manufacturer. They've all stated that the software comes with no warranty. I'd assume the anti-virus software comes with the same statements attached.
We had a similar sitution in regards to my physics course. The homework was turned in over the internet. This lead to several groups forming. Each group, however, ended up with several people doing the work and the rest 'collaborating'. Out of the 40 people the class started with, 12 remained at the end of the semester and only half of those students passed. It seems as though the students who were 'collaborating' didn't fare all that well on the IRL tests. Strangely, the one test conducted over the internet had an excellent pass rate;-). Collaboration has great value in teaching students why it's not a good idea to screw yourself over by taking the easy road.
Not in a small town where corporate america/the wealthy own the place. Example: Our poor schools are falling apart and have yet to be placed in low speed 'school zones' while our private school have long been augmented with bright flashing lights to warn everyone of the impending school zone...despite the fact that no one walks to those schools.
The people who try to change things get slapped around by the local newspaper^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H tabloid.
Well, let's compare with the OS that constitutes 90% of the desktop Unix market: MacOS X. To install a MacOS X app: (1) drag it to the Applications folder, (2) double-click on it. That's the way it should be. The heavy use of shared libraries in Linux is just one of the many design decisions that makes it too hard to use for most desktop users.
No, the heavy use of shared libraries that break binary compatibility between every freakin' release makes it too hard to use for most desktop users.

Of course Transgamings Business Model is wrong. They should simply re-sell Windows games - either to Windows users or to Linux users bundling WineX and some installation glue a la codeweavers.
Eh? I've got some stuff to sell those people also;-).
The bootleg versions of AotC and Spidey are much poorer quality than you will see in the theatre.
Assuming, of course, that the theatre it is seen in is run by competent people. Although I didn't see the divx of either film, the quality of any motion picture in the only remaining theatre in my town is comparable to the divx movies I have seen -- only the sound is a bit louder (most of the time). I suppose that's what happens when a certain large theatre operator drops ticket prices to $2 just long enough to run all the competition out of business, and then jacks the prices back up. We're doing good here if the picture is centered on the screen. If it's on the screen AND in focus on the first try, well, it's time to go buy some lottery tickets.
If you feel that this reasearch is so terrible then please vote with your dollars and reject any lifesaving medical procedure you require if it was developed as a result of said research.
Had you actually read and given thought to Alan's remarks you would realize that your comment has no relevence. Dmitri created a tool which could possibly be used to pirate copyrighted works. Dmitri did not force you to use his tool for illegal purposes nor did he make copyrighted works available. As Alan said, those caught doing the crime should be charged.
this sort of gross exageration does not fool anyone and really does more harm than good.
My question is this: how the heck to people make their keyboards so dirty? Mine stays pure and clean (at least in appearance) and I don't ever clean it or wash my hands before using it. On the other hand, new keyboards at work stay new looking for about three months. (Monitors get messed up even faster...I don't understand people who touch their monitors)
There's no better indication that your product sucks when slashdot is collectively defending Microsoft for their actions. Congratulations Mr. Teare, it's a cold day in hell right now thanks to you.
You don't even have to do that...just edit->copy and create a new document. GIMP does exactly what the original poster was copmlaining about. It's always done it for me that way.
Communists? Who cares? Yes, communism ultimatly failed, but, in a perfect world without corruption and greed....
Yes, and right after we eliminate corruption and greed we could do away with physics too. Free energy would be quite nice. In fact, after figuring out how to eliminate corruption and greed finding a way to modify physics at will shouldn't be too terribly difficult.
That's the desired effect. People would then have to choose the software they use and Microsofts would be just as inconvenient to obtain as anyone else's. Of course, inconvenience in this case means either downloading the software or driving to CompUSA.
Pert shampoo? I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, however Madnick did mention that he slept in a holiday in express the night before his testimony.

Flat rate bandwidth pricing makes about as much sense as flat rate electricity pricing.

I remember in 1992, even as late as 1994, many people said "individual telephone lines will never allow data transfers faster than 28800bps".
In many places, those people are still correct.
Thank you Sprint...I wish you did.
Even if it were free, it still wouldn't be UNIX.
