Fascism has a very specific meaning that excludes Stalin and Mao. It is not a general term meaning "autocratic assholes." We already have a term for that: autocratic assholes does pretty nicely. They were Big-C Communists. And they were autocratic assholes. The problem with/.'ers is they confuse communism on a whole with their own particular favorite flavor of anarcho-communism, and then pronounce the others No True Scotsmen.
I understand what he meant. I was commenting because he was apparently ignoring the overwhelming weight of historical and archaeological evidence that says the Jews/Hebrews/Peoples-Front-Of-Whatever came from exactly where they said they were. This isn't a because-the-bible-or-torah-said-so thing.
It was fun enough for me to play twice. I got to the highest difficulty, hit the brick wall, and called it quits. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth, though. And the gameplay was pretty frikkin' fun.
Don't be a punctuation nazi if you can't properly use a comma. Secondly, properly use hyphens so I know you mean ten-year-old computers and not ten year-old computers.
Mass-produced American beer (or "NASCAR beer" as I like to call it) is made with a lot of artificial ingredients. Prior to prohibition, American beer was highly rated, especially cream ales, which were its specialty. All of that beer know-how was lost to ages, and is only now beginning to resurface. I, myself, absolutely hated beer until I discovered microbrews. When I learned that beer can have a bouquet no less complex and interesting as wine, I became a big fan.
1) American beer is indeed piss. This is not trolling, or flaming. It is a sad, indisputable fact. But every day, hardworking craft microbrews fight the good fight to drag the American beer industry, kicking a screaming, into tasty world-wide acceptable standards of beer. As an American, I am proud of these microbrews, and I devote this July 4th to their patriotic efforts in beer-making.
2) The French help to the Americans in the Revolution is somewhat akin to the American help to the Brits in early WWII. But no one claims Monty didn't kick Rommel's arse, because he did.
I'd put this in the middle school range, sort of like Interstellar Pig or Strange Attractors. I think for an 8 year old something more along the line of Norby the Mixed up Robot, maybe? It's been forever since I was a kid, it feels like, so my memory is a little hazy.
A classic example. Now, in that case they really were in the wrong. But they compounded it by not just giving people what they wanted to here: "We will fix it."

Because in the military you get your ass chewed out for failure. In the public school you get a Participation Award.

If you have new scholarship that presents a different ancestral homeland of the Jews, then by all means let's hear it.
Agreed. No one has spoken a word of Latin in common conversation almost 1600 years, and is ipso facto a dead language.

2007 was well before their peak of 12 million subs during Wrath of the Lich King, so no, it wouldn't.
It was a perfectly serviceable KOTOR 3 single-player game. Then you got to level 50 and you were done. Not quite a replacement for WOW though.

There are two inviolable traditions on Slashdot: April Fools' articles, and incessant whining about them.
I love reading the impotent rage in the comments. Keep whining; the April 1st articles will just keep rolling in.
Florian, you forgot to log in.
They sucked from the moment they bought Origin and ruined it.
Crunching the night's XP for PC's and henchmen at the dinner table. That's about it.
Conveniently left off the list of comparisons: "Things that get you put into prison."
Well, to be fair, if you're enjoying Cohiba's outside the US (including Cuba itself), you're probably smoking fakes anyhow.
How many spare rooms in your own house do you really need? One room, one person's life changed. Hop to.
I'm pretty sure that in an open beta a core dump is useful info. After all, that's the purpose of a beta, no?
The trial will only last 30 days though.

Norby the Mixed-Up Robot was both my introduction to Asimov, and sci-fi in general.

I blame 4 beers and Jaeger shots.
