I mean, the Phone companies don't get sued and subpeona'd for their users do they? And we all know that criminals use telephones just as much as regular people. Not that I'm comparing criminals to piraters, just that a company is not liable for it's users right?
Whose money is going to pay for the Microsoft Licenses? Implement a free option and already you have saved a lot of money by not buying into an O/S that is frequently targeted by crackers. I think that assuming Bush will automatically go for the big business option is very cynical. Especially when it would probably put them over budget.. although.. I'm Canadian so what do I know about american politics.. =)
To those poor heathens who have no idea what this is in reference to, check out the Cowboy Bebop: The Movie page as well as this pretty good page. Of course, you can also check out AnimeFu's Cowboy Bebop pages... =) Excellent anime if I do say so myself. Worth at the very least a rent.
What I want to know is how Quake cannot play on those machines... I mean, we are talking about the original Quake right? My mom's shitty 355 MHz comp with like an 8 meg vid card can play Quake.
I think we have to take the control of the servers out of the company's hands, this way, the server hosts will have control like a central leader in towns... ie. each server will be a seperate town.This would create more interesting dynamics if you ask me. Then it would truly be more of a democracy, people would be able to choose which server they want to be on, and some servers might have rules for joining them etc..
Slashdot never "says" anything though. Slashdot is only a link to other websites that "say something".. am I right? The editors may say something in a comment along with the post, but doesn't the poster mainly say something?
The only problem is, that the programs we use to download are songs are all hosted in the US, or they have been developed in the US and thus the RIAA screws us over doubly by shutting them down and charging us for supposedly downloading over these shut-down networks.
Some guy swinging a bat at you with the intent to bash your skull in will definitely do it. There was a guy here in my local town who got seriously brain-damaged due to his skull getting bashed in just by a frickin' boot! A bat will have a lot more force than a boot will to crush a skull.
eople don't just get up and say "I hate Sony!" and then start spreading stories that their machine broke down
As a slashdot reader you should know better. =D
People say some pretty weird things about consoles they don't even own.. It's a strange phenomenon in the gaming industry. Those of us who are happy with the systems we buy know enough to ignore the people who say things like that and move on. I've never had any problems with my PS2 and I'm not worried about it failing. The original Playstation never really gave me any problems either, except in it's last years of life, but I mean, I played that thing like a bat outta hell. Just learn to take what people say with a grain of salt and spend your money on what _you_ want. I'm interested in the PSP because I want a new portable music player, as well as a new handheld gaming system. Although, 300$ would be a bit steep for that.. I'll wait a bit until it goes down in price, which it always does.
I was always under the impression that a laser beam could not be seen..? Am I wrong here? Is the laser sufficiently powerful enough to actually produce a beam of light in air?
You could also make the assumption that the RIAA was the evil captian bootleg, hoarding the music to themselves, and the young kid, using his laptop, is getting that music from them... =D
I wonder who the "Best Buy" is for their Lawyer.. Maybe they need a "Fat Wallet".. They might end up being more of a "Target" than if they didn't countersue.. I wouldn't mind being a fly on _that_ "Wal-mart".. =D O-"K-mart".. maybe some of these are stretching.. "Jo-Ann"-a reply and do better?

Isn't that still bloat?

The question is whether those women are "ladies". Big difference I think..

Yeah, like bloody Win ME. I still find pieces of it stuck in my boots.
That's what happens when you muck around =D

This means that, here on Earth, they'll sometimes be working during daylight hours, and at other times they'll be working through the night
... I think anyone with half a brain cell could've figured that out.
Well, duh
It's Bill Gates!
...and no, I'm not bill gatesM
I think on slashdot, Bill Gates would say the same thing... =P

The "M" is there for a reason, HELLO! Games are not at fault for adolescent teens having quick access to them.
