Impressive, yes, but I wonder. Something like this doesn't seem too scalable. As more and more data gets pushed around the country, I'd rather have an infrastructure able to handle it, rather than forcing everything down 50 year-old copper wires.
This could be a could method for getting cable out to rural areas, but in the end it really slows down the push to upgrade the country's telecommunications system with new and better hardware.
Overpopulation is such a crock of shit. While I admit that some parts of the world (Hong Kong, North Jersey) are too densely populated to support civilized life, the world as a whole is mostly empty. Countries such as the United States are actually quite underpopulated.
Remember in ninth grade biology class when you learned that if they are too many flies in the jar, they'll die off until they reach a sustainable population? The human population is much the same way. Even the most poverty-stricken regions are not dying off en masse due to lack of resources. In fact, these areas are showing phenomenal population increase.
Europe is the only area really shrinking. It doesn't mean they are more advanced; it just means that in 100 or so years everyone there will be black or Arab because all the white people decided not to reproduce.
NASA should grow embryos of me and send Roto-Rooter Men out into space, in all directions. This way my seed can colonize the local universe. First post from Ceres, bitches!
Yes, I also assumed he was talking about the legendary sci-fi film. A re-release of that would be huge news. Instead, he was talking about a rip-off cartoon which broke no new ground.
It's like going to see Godzilla and finding out it's the Matthew Broderick one.
It feels pretty good. The sensation is not unlike defecating, and the penis pushing against your prostate can actually be extremely pleasurable. The nerve endings in the rectum turn out to be quite easy stimulated, and with a little training and a gentle partner, anal sex can be a wonderful addition to your love life.
Haha, you're missing out on getting ass-rammed! It's the best thing since oral! Can't believe you've never been done up the butt... if you've never felt anal, you might as well be a virgin, you fag!
I hope to God you're trolling. Do you think your Windows friends maybe have more Windows CDs because there are WAY MORE WINDOWS GAMES? Why would they buy a Linux game when they downloaded the Windows version six months ago?
As for the zero copy protection, the position Loki's currently in shows how well that idea paid off for them.

Loki Games Closing?

How in the flying fuck is a person showing his sadness for the demise of an important company a troll?
You're right, there's nothing wrong with being sad when an important company goes down the tubes. But... this is Loki Games. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Mac game companies have a hard time staying afloat, and they have a much bigger presence on the home desktop than Linux.
The Linux gaming community should focus on making small, original shareware games, instead of porting big, expensive ones. That's how Bungie was born over in the Mac community.
TuxRacer is pretty shit though. Gotta try harder than that.
Well the best thing to come out of this little modbombing episode (other than some Slashbots finally seeing the light and demanding answers from the editors) is this post by CmdrStalin. Which is way better than anything I've ever written around here.
Clicking on this link will direct you to the website "goatse.cx". This website contains a large JPEG picture of a human male stretching his anus so that it has a diameter of several inches. You can see his lubricated anal orifice glistening as his fingers part the sphincter to reveal a dark red rectum surrounded by the pinker flesh of the anus. Also, you can see the back of the man's flaccid penis. It looks as if the entire abdominal area has been shaved.
I request that you visit this site by clicking on my cleverly provided link. If you do indeed follow the link as suggested, I will feel a surge of mischievous glee, because I will have tricked a stranger into looking at a disgusting picture. It is one of many methods I use to reinforce my mental superiority over the largely gullible populace of Slashdot, the "nerd news" site.
You may also wish to trick several of your friends into looking at the picture. Don't forget to tell them that you were originally tricked by a particularly cunning Slashdot troll known as Roto-Rooter Man. In this manner I may become notorious, thus increasing the exposure of any future posts created by this account -- and potentially increasing the number of Slashdot viewers I can get to visit the infamous goatse.cx web site.
Thank you, and don't forget to click that link before you move on to another comment. In case the site is currently malfunctioning, write this down so you can visit it later:
At this point, Christopher Reeve is pretty useless. If he ever gets well enough to be a real man again, he'll be so old that he'll be knocking on death's door anyway. What they should do is kill Christopher Reeve, take his stem cells, and give them to a fetus that has a whole wonderful life ahead of it. The idea that some people want to do the opposite is ridiculous.
Have you seen the Martin Luther essay "The Jews and Their Lies"? It's been posted here a few times by anti-semitic trolls. Luther was a vicious anti-Semite.
Before today, I had thought that I was the Bally table king. But now I see that even at my usual table, you can beat my best. So here, you can have my pinball crown. You sure play a mean pinball!
What's that, you think that's funny? Well, at least I can hear and see, you fucking cripple!
I lost my virginity on one of those. Looking back on things, she was the worst lay I ever had. She just lay there and made me do all the work. Didn't even get a fucking tilt.

Actually it is mainstream, and has been mainstream for about 10 years (probably longer than Taco has been watching them). The 90's series of Disney animated films (Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) are heavily influenced by anime (which in turn is heavily influenced by Disney's 1930's films). Two more cases in point:
As you may know, Daft Punk has released anime videos for its 2001 album Discovery. These videos have been seen around quite a bit. Then again, Taco probably thinks Daft Punk is an "underground" band that only people hip to his "subculture" ae aware of.
Whatever you think about the quality of the "Pokémon" cartoon, there's no doubt that its style is pretty much anime. 3 year-olds around the country have been watching this cartoon for a few years. How "subculture" is that?
In conculsion, CmdrTaco has no idea what is mainstream and what is subculture. Then again, this is all coming from a guy who is used to mass market crap like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.

HHH has to have a tough nose, seeing as how it was probably squashed between Chyna's thighs at some point.
I concur. A sufficiently furious Rollins would splatter Danzig's corpse all over the wall.

Nope. No big deal. It should be a felony to import British comedy into the US, anyway.
I remember, alright. The "10 deleted minutes" were the best ones!
