If that's all he does, it will look ridiculous. I agree that he can't start tugging his collar and scanning the room for a quick escape, but attitude has only its place.
Assuming I have a fat pipe to the server, what kind of HW do I need just to run the game server? Will a PII-400 with 256 MB RAM cut it for simply running a server (on top of Fedora Core 1)?
Come on, moderators! Some clown posts what amounts to nothing other than ridiculously sarcastic trash, and you mod it up?!
You can find these things called books at a place called a library.
It's unbelievable that anyone found this worthy of anything other than scorn. Pal, take your shitty attitude to some site that welcomes posts containing nothing but empty sarcasm.
Sorry the groupthink isn't as thick as you'd like

Stop rolling your eyes and drop the ridiculous pretense. I know your heart was broken when you saw "Superbowling" on the front page... I should come to expect that every year there will be a front-page story here about the super bowl and slews of posts saying "I can't believe we are stooping to cover/discuss the super bowl! We're nerds, remember? This doesn't matter! Where's the chin-stroking, world-conscious intellectualism that I'm used to?!"
Move to Buffalo if you don't want your city to pander to the NFL for the Super Bowl. Oh, and there are plenty of the usual stories all over this site. Stifle your moral outrage and head over to one of them.
There are a few things in the way of sci-fi TV being popular among the unwashed masses...
One, there is a significant stigma that comes along with being a regular sci-fi viewer. Star Trek in particular is a reason for this (conventions, fan clubs, etc.). I think you'll find that there is the same attitude toward sci-fi from the general public that things like RPGs get, sort of a perplexed, uncomfortable "I'm not really into that kind of thing."
Two, sci-fi doesn't really present themes that are either directly relatable or desirous. In other words, Star Trek et al don't feature dozens of pretty people whining about one another. Viewers of shows that feature dozens of pretty people and not much else are counting on viewers that (a) want to be the pretty people, and (b) can understand, relate personally, or even feel superior to the whining and scheming, etc. Can Joe and Barb Public relate to talk about warp engines and alien bacteria? Does Access Hollywood want to cover shows that feature these things? Nope.
Nothing like starting to watch a series which has already been canned!
Isn't that what happened with Iron Chef over here in the U.S? It got a nice following over on Food Network but it had already ended over in Japan. From what I understand, the network that it ran on over in Japan has a history of cancelling shows while they're hot.
I can't recommend Naots highly enough. The style I bought, a basic shoe dressy enough for biz but casual enough for everyday use, runs about $125-150. They have cork beds in them as insoles that, over time, mold to your feet. The beds can be replaced as needed and are supremely comfortable.
My legs are slightly different in length and it was causing back issues for me, so I got some prescription orthotic inserts. I simply took the cork beds out and replaced them with the inserts and the match is one made in heaven. I try to find clothes that work with the Naots so I can wear them as much as possible. I will be getting a brown pair as soon as possible. The pair I have is black and I bought them at The Walking Co, a store in a local mall.
My wife saw the ads (targeted toward your average laptop-toter, it seemed) for wireless access at Starbucks, so, deciding it might be a nice break to work from there instead of the house, she went only to change her mind when she discovered the price. My point is that if she was handed a receipt and told "Here's your change and your WEP key", she would have said, "Uh... what?"
Shifting moral stance? Is outsourcing/not outsourcing a moral decision? Okay, I'm asking the wrong group, perhaps, but face the fact that third-party service-based IT maintenance is where businesses have been turning because it has been marketed as just-as-effective with better cost control and ROI.

I hardly knew her!

"It's the only way to be sure."
The next front-page article needs to be
"Slashdot Editor-in-Chief is a 56k-er"
b) Illiterate: I'm a poor speller too, but I found "spell check" and a proofreader, why can't you?
c) Inflexable
I think you might need to find a different spell check...
I meant W@rg8
W@trg8
No kidding, it's like a Gamespot kind of tactic. Break something into lots of pieces to belch out more ads. Where are the pop-unders, pudge/Rob?!
Oh no, I'm criticizing Slashdot! I'm not thinking what the Group is thinking! PRECIOUSSS KARMA, BURN MY PRECIOUSSS!
CCNA. What's it wack? Is it good, or is it about?

Mine tells time. It has a big hand, a little hand, and a big but thin hand that moves frequently.
I have created this giant "laser" to threaten the "Earth" with "snacks."
Perhaps I can put it on the balcony and use it as a beacon
Set fire to it and I'll come help defend your condo.

like a Red Giant star actually
Absolutely. It has the gravity you'd expect from a red star. Millions of browsers are drawn to it every day.
The troll or the pathetic simpleton who bites?
Oh wai

Go where the food is, or stand there and starve.
Pnubot was the shit in that conversation. God bless the bots.
It would strick with precision, ...
It appears to have already stricked someone...
Good site, too.
