Main problem being you would have no clue and thus would be easily swayed by what he said because your a idiot to the facts.
When you call someone an idiot through a written form of communication, you probably should have better grammar than a first grader. I swear I'm not a grammar Nazi, but I've seen more than enough instances of "your a idiot" than I can stand. I guess that's what I get for playing Counter-Strike.
It fits a basic good v. bad story model, as it's hard for there to be much of a grey area when one side is shoving people into furnaces and gas chambers.
So I guess that officially makes the U.S. evil. Because as far as I know, there were no Iraqi's forcing U.S. soldiers strip naked and perform sexual acts on each other.
I meant that to be sarcastic, but now that I think about it, I'm starting to think we really ARE the bad guys in this situation.
Honestly, what the hell is with the "Super?" Was there and older generation "Columbine Massacre RPG" that we didnt' know about? Or do all the kids have mutant powers or something?
I can't wait until Super Columbine Massacre World comes out.
Especially when you consider that other countries (which presumably have equal access to television and video games) have higher rates of literacy (say, Japan at near 100%), it is logical to infer that the problem is not technology, but certain people simply are not capable of reading or writing. The unfortunate reality is those people tend to have more animalistic instincts, and will thus reproduce at rapid rates.
Hey dude, I think the 19th century just called, it want's it racist idealogy back.
I have to say that High School destroyed my will to read also. In middle school it was awesome, we could read any book from the library we wanted. I read a few C.S. Lewis books, Jurassic Park, and I instantly became hooked on sci-fi/fantasy. I started reading Robert Jordan, Anne Mcaffery, Orson Scott Card. I remember my teacher was impressed that I could read books by C.S. Lewis. Then high school came along and we were forced to read the same cookie cutter "classics" that every other damn high school student had to read. 90% of those books where just complete chores to read. I've read maybe about 2 or 3 novels for entertainment purposes since high school. One of them including "America: The Book" by John Stewart.
Please don't try to tell me that intentionally killing innocent Cubans is any less despicable than killing innocent Americans.
A. The U.S. government swears under oath to protect the lives of U.S. civilians, they aren't under such an oath for Cubans. B. The intentionally killing part was only a possibility of the plan it wasn't set in stone! C. The plan never happened! While thousands of U.S. civilians actually died because of September 11th.
The government covered up the lies of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which never happened
The Gulf of Tonkin incident happened. Destroyers fired 3-inch and 5-inch rounds and dropped several depth-charges. They did actually believe they were being attacked at one point. The government decided to exagerate this incident so LBJ could write his blanks check. Get your facts straight please. And to say the war WOULDN't have happened if the government never said anything is also a streatch. We already had thousands advisors there pissing off the Vietnamese; something was bound to happen. Either way this has nothing to do with 9/11.
Whether it was to take Fidel Castro out of power or stop the spread of communism. The ultimate goal of these corrupt plans was to protect American soil. Now of course the goals were terribly misguided, and I'm not saying the ends justify the means. But to think our government would be stupid enough to KILL innocent U.S. civilians in order to protect innocent civilians is just plain fucking rediculous.
Yes I have watched it. I sheepishly admit I almost bought it, but I know better to listen to one side of the story. There are a plethora of websites that points out the hundreds of factual errors with in this documentary. The documentary has so many logical fallacies and biased information, only a fool would make a decision based of this one movie. If you don't believe me look at this viewer guide. If you don't believe the viewer guide, google the responses to this documentary.
If you still aren't convinced. Lets use some common sense for a few moments: Do you honestly think the Bush administration had the ability to keep this plan under wraps. Think about all the manpower that would be used in order to plant and detonate bombs inside the WTC towers (without anyone knowing!!!), all the planning that would have to be involved, the cover up, the paperwork. You don't think someone with half a heart would have exposed this? If you are still convinced that this was planned by the U.S. you're totally insane, and I give up.
You're trying to tell me that faking a Cuban attack on the U.S. military is the same as actaully killing thousands of innocent U.S. civilians? Please tell me you're joking.
I do not doubt that theres corruption in our government. But seriously, the government would never do such a thing because they would never get away with it!
For those of you unaware of the conspiracy theories floating around, 911: Loose Change is a documentary that claims that the U.S. government planned and executed the attacks on 911. It's obviously all B.S., but it does make you think. The documentary fails to address the fact that no one tried to expose these plans beforehand. If the U.S. gov't tried to do something like this, thousands of people would of have to known about it. Anyone with a conscience would have exposed this plan and tried to put a stop to it. And there has a to be at least A FEW government employees that have a conscience. Either way it's such a stretch, it almost reminds of the whole "We never landed on the moon" theory. People are willing to say anything to get some attention.
I don't think the number of legs is much of the issue as the size of the robot. Unless the dude on the chair is alot smaller than he seems, this machine seems to be quite large. No one will want to use this if it is pain in the ass to transport, or if they can't maneuver into small spaces.
The/. article title and summary cover the least important topics about the title. It really has nothing to do with Oblivion except that they talk about how cool Oblivion would be if more physics were added and these physics were processed by a PPU (physics proccessing unit). I think this is a very interesting idea. Having a physics accelerator card that is completely dedicated to the physics of the game would add huge amounts of realism without performance drops. I think this could be cool. It might even change the way games are made. However, I'm not sure how many gamers will be willing to add another expense when they upgrade their system. But I think retailers would love to have another periphiral to sell that will increase a computer's performance.
The sad thing is that I've actually seen guilds like "Nagas stole my bike" on my server. I've seen other various other "clever" uses of the word Naga (which is a mob in WoW) in guild names. So apparently it's okay to be racist in a subtle way but you can't be gay in a subtle way in WoW.
Most I'd say were stress level C at best, especially game developers.
The amount of stress people feel are relative to what they are doing. Some people feel incredibly stressed when they have to submit a proposal to a project within a day. These type of people should become a highrise construnction worker for a week to get a more realistic idea of what "really stressed" is. I can think of many similar jobs that would make a project deadline seem like a walk in the park.
Slashdot Mirror
That just, to me, says something very strange about our culture
In America, movies that have people being decapitated get rated PG-13. But you see one female nipple it's rated R.
So apparently sex is bad, and violence is good, or at least bearable. Strange culture indeed.

Can you link me to the article that says the Conroe is 32bit? Thanks.

I've seen footage of a colony of ants taking down a lion.
Now that's what I call an antlion! err wait
(shoving the damn thing down your pants doesn't count as making it useful)
It does for me, my friend. It does for me. Now if you will excuse me I'm gonna play some Grand Turismo and drive my car against a wall.

Review your facts before you open your mouth.
I have. More than once actually. Have you?

On the other hand, suppose that someone in marketing decided to name the system the Ninendo Gay
Or consider someone who came up with a rediculous name like "Wii" or something... oh wait.
It seems the Nintendo Wii (nee Revolution) might be an interesting system for flight sim or pilot games
To bad it's name is GAY! I don't care what the hell is on the box, I'm still calling it the revolution.
Make the world a better place. Kill a spammer today.
Every time you masturbate, God kills a spammer. Thanks for making the world a better place, slashdotters.
vi VS emacs arguments are pointless and a waste of time.
vi is the best.
I agree vi vs. emacs arguements are pointless, but emacs is better.
Only two legs?
I don't think the number of legs is much of the issue as the size of the robot. Unless the dude on the chair is alot smaller than he seems, this machine seems to be quite large. No one will want to use this if it is pain in the ass to transport, or if they can't maneuver into small spaces.
Google "Shattered Galaxies" or "Navy Field." The graphics are old school on both, but they are still fun and you can try them for free.
The /. article title and summary cover the least important topics about the title.

Those people must not understand the importance of the ablity to urinate.
I know a lot of skinny, fit, crazy people. ...Also known as actors and actresses.
Or maybe "You can't spell NAGA without GNAA"
The sad thing is that I've actually seen guilds like "Nagas stole my bike" on my server. I've seen other various other "clever" uses of the word Naga (which is a mob in WoW) in guild names. So apparently it's okay to be racist in a subtle way but you can't be gay in a subtle way in WoW.
