Well it really doesn't matter what your opinion is. The fact is that a large part of playing Starcraft is rushing. That's the problem. It's universally acknowledged - he who builds fastest wins. As such, the whole "strategy" part of the game is lost.
Who is doing that? Exactly? Can you point to a specific person?
Seems to me what really happens is that fanbois tout the superiority of their infatuation and then the developers cop the shit from people who can't tell the difference between who is speaking.
If you like the software, use it. If you want to be constructive and improve the software, you're welcome. If you just want to whine and complain, people are going to tell you to fuck right off..
Which is hilarious. There's actually people out there who 1) can't code 2) are too cheap to buy proprietary software and 3) still bitch and moan that they can't get what they want. It's a beautiful generation.
"it is completely unacceptable of you to have left this nail sticking out of the floor"
then the only acceptable response from the builder who provided the house for free is:
"go fuck yourself whiner"
In fact, a builder who had provided a house for free and just got complaints for his efforts would just stop building houses for free and that's what happens with many open source developers too. Which is why the rest of us, who are quite thankful for the selfless efforts of others, are standing there telling the whiner to shut the fuck up.
Starcraft suffers from the classic "tank rush" problem that the turn-based strategy predecessors said that all real-time strategy games would suffer from.
They were wrong, it is possible to balance an RTS to not suffer from tank rush, but Starcraft wasn't.
how about if you bring your car to my mechanic shop. you say 'can i convert it to hybrid'. i say, 'well, no, but there are guys up in washington state who sell conversion kits'. 'is there a kit for my car'. 'well, no but, if we take a transmission just like yours and send it to them, they can fabricate a coupler.' "ok what about the battery box". 'well, thats in progress'.
Are you doing all this for me for free? If so, I should say "thank you" and not fucking complain.
Well, personally, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot barge pole. Getting text to work with these stupid undocumented protocols is hard enough. I imagine getting video to work is pulling your hair out work.
Yawn. What don't you get? There's choice and everyone has their own opinion on what is best. What makes you any more right than them? And, frankly, what makes you think we give a shit about your two-bit opinion anyway? If Shuttleworth wants to blow his money on GNOME as well as KDE, who are you to criticize?
So according to your theory, Windows XP should have been poorly received as everyone who tried it said it was terrible too. There's still people today who say Windows 2000 was just so much better and all the XP users think they're on crack. They hang out on Slashdot too. Where are all the Vista users who are saying the people who want to stay with XP are crazy? Most every Vista user is more than happy to say that Vista is either worse or no better than XP.
Finally he conceded that Apple appeals to more and more consumers because the hardware is slick, the price is OK, and Apple doesn't annoy its customers (or allow third parties to).
That'd be Koko, and you have to be very forgiving to think that she could sign, and none of the gorillas, chimps, or other circus acts have ever shown the slightest understanding of grammar. Not even the advocates of their signing believe they can sign about "the abstract".. this basically means that, without context to guess their intended signs from, you can't understand them.. and that means they're not using language.
There's no documented peer-reviewed cases. In fact, deaf researchers on these teams often report *no* signs.. it's only the speaking researchers who have learned sign language as a pidgin that think the chimps can sign. All the primate researchers have abandoned peer reviewed journals. They publish in the mainstream and covert their videos.
Why are you putting quotes around "breach". It was a breach.. they said it was a breach. Are you debating Red Hat's press release that it was a breach?
No. Microbes have to control their pH levels otherwise their own operation will denature their proteins, literally tearing them apart. This is micro-biology 101.
Ok, so it seems obvious that you know what the law is, and you know that the shit you're sprouting is not the law, so I'm just going to chalk you up as a troll.
Slashdot Mirror
hehe, "it's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Oh dear. "tank rush" has nothing to do with tanks. It's a historical term for building faster than your opponent.
Kids these days.
Your example is flawed. If someone says:
"there is a nail sticking out of the floor"
that's fine. But when someone says:
"it is completely unacceptable of you to have left this nail sticking out of the floor"
then the only acceptable response from the builder who provided the house for free is:
"go fuck yourself whiner"

A lot of shit has changed in 4 years dude. The protocols, codecs and chat networks are all different.

Pidgin doesn't intend to develop video-chat

"Making good progress: it works"
So its coming along.
Your personal opinion is worthless. Millions of people disagree with you, and millions of others disagree with them.
There doesn't need to be consent. It's up to you what you use.
What a wonderfully balanced opinion you have.
I can't imagine why there's such bad blood.

Your grammar is terrible. Are you German?

Yeah, and the Nazis were pretty popular too!
You're wrong. Most of these systems are on networks and they're wide open for precisely the reasons cited in the article.

This is why hate mail makes so much more sense. People like reading their hate mail.
Bahaha, seriously, you have no idea what you're on about and you sound like a fucking moron.
Do yourself and favour and shut up already.
Hehe, this is Slashdot at its finest.

Thanks for wasting our time.
