We apologize for your dissatisfaction with our nuclear reactor's lack of shielding. For your benefit, we have arranged to displace the reactor from your sight for approximately 12 hours daily.
First off how did this story become okay'd past the slashdot moderators? This story is written with a really biased, bitter, non-neutral point-of-view.
You must be new here. Welcome!
Wait, your UID is 1/5th of mine...in that case, I'll have some of what you're smoking!
Sure, you laugh now, but when this is implemented in the next release and the Random Number God sees fit to have your zombie dog fulfill this scenario you'll see if Score:5, Funny was worth it.
I hope the soundtrack on that trailer isn't indicative though - cheap music will really feck this movie up. Using current pop output to score a film like this will date it in months.
Most likely the film has not even been scored yet. Many trailers use pop music or a recycled track from another movie because the score is one of the last things added to the film; there is no score when the trailer is put together.

For the most part, those Sierra adventure games had a serious story, but the backgrounds and item interactions were chock full of jokes (and in-jokes as the series progressed). I hope i'm not the only on this/. who has practiced lockpicking skill by "picking" my nose (often with deadly results). Or, when looking at a trophy-head unicorn (IIRC? QfG V?): You remember hearing a legend that only virgins can see unicorns. You pretend that you cannot see the unicorn.
No, no, 35 is the perfect age. It's not so old that it can't attract younger users, but it has enough experience to satisfy even the most advance user.
Reviews like the ones you want can be found at umpteen different hardware review sites. The numbers resulted from such reviews are great for pissing contests between two people trying to figure out who has the bigger di^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hfaster video card. The HardOCP approach is great because, for the most part, video cards can play any game with medium settings and get lots of FPS; the biggest differentiator is the whether those video cards are able to keep up the FPS grind while also delivering good image quality.
I was hoping for better writing from Bioware. I know they're capable of it (see Baldur's Gate).
Black Isle was involved with both the Baldur's Gate games. Look at the plot in BG, and other Black Isle games (Fallout, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment), and then compare it to the games Bioware did by themselves (Neverwinter Nights and KOTOR). The stories in the Black Isle games are head and shoulders above. Bioware has made some good games, but I would not put them in the same category as Black Isle.

Come on people, use standard units! How sharp is this point, in units of LEGOs per barefoot?

Ah, yes, I have seen that .avi also! (Sorry, no torrent!)
I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
After all, if a lawyer doesn't stand by his word, who will ?!?
I'm sure politicians will take up the banner of truth-telling in their stead.
More importantly, is there anyway to plot a series of events around the headgear wherein Ashley Judd and I make out?

Yes! I want it to be just like emacs, but for Windows.

FOX News has been using this technology for years to store the text that is then fed to their teleprompters and news scroller.

Would that mean the end of those aweful singing-and-dancing eBay commercials?
Did you see the beard? He's definitely a kernel hacker.
Sure, they teach things in school, unfortunately none of it is related to the ability to think for one's self.

Damn, I started reading this thinking it was to the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" theme. I guess I'll probably have to turn in my geek credentials now.
