...a fucking rover on Mars. What makes you think they'll be able to land people there?
I can see the headlines now.. "Shuttle crashes into sun"..
How will they explain that PR nightmare? "Uhhh, we forgot to carry the 1."
Judging by the first round of lackluster titles for the Game Cube, Square will probably outlive Nintendo in the industry unless Nintendo finds a way to bring quality games to the Game Cube.
I wonder who came to who? Did Square come crawling back to Nintendo, or did Nintendo swallow it's pride and contact Square?
The thing is, mom doesn't care what's under the hood as long as the toy she bought works as advertized.
All of this bickering over OS domination is pointless in the end. People just want something that works. It isn't about some OS holy war to them.
This is why you were modded down to troll. The idea that you would use Linux only because your windows box was gone, and not based on it's own merits, completely escapes the mentality that is the Slashdot Clique.
And then you'll come here, only to watch your page get lagged by the bigass Think Geek banner at the top. And the soon-to-be page-wide CNet style banner.
*shudder*
Did someone mention 'sold out'?
Hey, until they start trampling the rights of average Joe or grandma, these very people aren't going to give a shit about 'those evil hacker criminals'.
What was that one saying..Something like, "and then they came for me, and there was no one left to defend me"? That was more or less the ending, anyway..
As long as this doesn't touch the average citizen, they aren't going to care.
"There may be some martyrs at every turn, such as Emannuel Goldstein and Derek Fawcus..."
The problem with this is that these two individuals were made out to be evil hackers, and thus no one (see:average joe. The majority) cared whether they fried or not.
I this regard, we should be taking notes from the black rights movement when they planted Rosa Parks on the bus. The RIAA isn't going to make a martyr out of averate Joe's grandma. And the day they do is the day the will have signed their own death warrants. We need an extreme like this to show the masses just how rediculous laws like this really are. Until then, we're nothing but evil hackers and music pirates in their eyes.
Heh, I wouldn't worry about it. No one over here takes Liberals seriously anyway. They've promised to abolish the GST for 6 years now.;p~
I doubt they would kick out the very thing that keeps them in office. That's right, you heard me. It's a widely known fact here that Liberals are notorious for letting immigrants into the country. Immigrants that will vote for them in return for a Country to call home.
Why do you think such a brain dead administration has been allowed to flourish...Oh, wait. This is an American I'm talking to. I'm sorry.;)
Not to mention, no one hates us.
My neighbour was visiting a foreign country (forget which one) one year, and I swear, if you tell them you're American, they'll fucking shoot you. But, they really like Canadians. No shit.
He sat with the owner of a resort and shot the shit with him over drink and the owner talked about how almost every American who visits (that town anyway) acts like they have a god given right to the place. Like they just got off the boat and claimed the land as their own. They're all arrogant fucks. But they've had no trouble with the Canadians who visit. They all seem very polite. Which surprises me since I'm such an asshole.
I find the whole American arrogance stereotype a bit odd, since I know quite a few Americans (even dated one), and they're all very down-to-earth people. Having lived on both sides of the border, I can't say there's much of a difference between Americans and Canadians besides the obvious differences you would find from state to state or province to province.
...premium content on Slashdot? Articles without spelling errors?
Come on. You have to admit that the only reason to come here is for the user interaction. Besides that, all you have is week/month old news being regurgitated from various sources all over the net.
Speaking of user interaction. Since posters are the ones providing Slashdot with all of it's content, will they get a piece of the action? Doubtful.

Get on your knees and smooch, bitch.
Actually, I prefer a .22
Or worse yet, we'll see advertisements masquerading as stories!
is probably pissed as hell that they weren't able to control the distribution an reap the profits of this one. ;p
Wrong again. I'm not from Europe either. ;)
Man, give up while you're ahead.
You're making an ass of yourself.
Hey, I completely agree.
But then, I would because I'm not even American. =)

Alright, then. Let's hear what the can has to say!
First ad-blocking post!
But not First post. That honour went to the guy smootching Robo Troll's ass.
Good lord, and it's in alphabetical order too.
You, sir, have done your homework! 5 gold stars for you!
...at it's finest.
Those who can, do. And those who can't, fade away into obscurity.

Are you sure about that? These are spammers we're talking about.
If I remember correctly, those are actually the lyrics to a corny Bon Jovi song of the same name. ;p~

Close those open relays, people!!
