Your cool, you have definatly set everyone here up the bomb. I'm going to stop typing and go lie down in the middle of the highway because I just don't think that I can compete with someone of your caliber. Come to think of it, I can't picture any ubergeek that I know of who can even fathom the thought of actually standing before your supreme l33tn3ss. I quiver in fear that your going to hack my box and erase my wolfenstein saves. Please spare us your wrath almighty ub3rh4ck3r!
Your cool. Yep you have definatly set up everyone here the bomb. Damn I should just stop typing and go lie down in the highway. I just don't think that I can compete with someone of your caliber, and to be honest I'm hard pressed to think of any ubergeek who can even fathom the thought of challenging your supreme l33tn3ss. Damn you for being the best!
Galileo faced the Inquisition for three days. What do you think they did? Have tea and crumpets perhaps? What makes Galileo even more of a hero in my mind was that he didn't give up. After words when he was placed in house arest he wrote Dialouges Concerning Two New Sciences and had it smuggled out. Definiatly a man with big brass ones hanging between his knees.
Because Video Games like any other medium are subject to what is politicaly correct at the time. Killing cops is politicaly correct at the moment, for those who decide what is politicaly correct today used to get arrested alot during the 60's & 70's. While killing a black person isn't so politicaly correct anymore. ( I say 'anymore' because in the 20's it was perfectly acceptable to be a member of the KKK and a member of congress at the same time) Killing is killing I don't care what skin color or uniform she/he is wearing at the time. Logic dosen't seem to figure into any part of the debate.
Political Correctness has been applied to quite a few games that a many of you own. For example In Return to Castle Wolfenstein single player, you are allowed to run around and shoot Nazis. Banners depicting swaztikas hang from every precipce and Adolf's portrait hangs wherever convienant, all there ready to be shot-up by whatever weapon the player has handy.
Now in multiplayer mode, the swaztikas are gone replaced with a deformed W with funky wings and Hitler's portraits are nowhere to be seen.
You see, it's politicaly correct to kill Nazis, but it isn't to play one in a fantasy game depicting WW2.
Wtf? Did the meaning of the word fantasy change since the last time I checked.
Just because someone plays a Nazi in a game dosen't make them one.(People have been doing it for years. I mean those Avalon Hill board games wouldn't have as many cutouts if nobody can be Germans. Anybody remember those? The ones where they had those folding sections of maps that could be aranged in all kinds of ways. Came with a thousand cardboard squares representing various units. Whatever happend to that company? I should consult google) Just as much as playing GTA3 makes one a copkiller or pimp.
Besides wich, whose to say what's politicaly correct? While the term is moderen the concept has been with us for centuries. Galileo was tortured by the Inquisition for supporting the Copernican Model of the solar system. Why? Because it underminded how the church said the universe functioned. A big no-no at the time. This is an example from the Middle Ages about political correctness was used to suppress unpopular ideas or thoughts, by focusing on the books that Galileo and others like him wrote. Wich was at the time the only mainstream media. The church was the big power and got to decide what was politicaly correct. As the monk Victor Bruno dicovered when he wrote that maybe there could be other worlds around other stars, and got burned at the stake for it. So much for the whole 'thou shall not kill and forgiveness' bit.
I'm thankful in a way, it has been much worse in times past. Political correctness today is more annoying than dangerous.
Quake 3. If I could find an Isp giving out free games with reliable broadband and support them. I would sell my soul to that guy from the 700 club. (Well on second thought... maybe the usual buyer of souls would be a better choice. Have to think about this some more.)
I couldn't have said it better myself. If I was a moderator I would dishout some karma right about now. Very well said, after all a true master of ANY art does not need to brag to the lessers. The master's confidence stems from truely having the knowledge and knowing it. Not because some friends ooooed and awwwwed over his l33t sk1llz.
There are some masters who visit Slashdot, Alan Cox himself for instance. However the majority of posts stem from those like the person who started this thread.
The 'O look at me, I got Mandrake to run and I downloaded Nmap and portscanned yahoo.com: I am l33t! M$ can kiss and finger my dirty anus!' types. It should be our duty to slap these dorks down. These are the people who are giving the linux community the reputation of being a bunch of rude and obnoxious snobs, and I for one am not going to stand for it anymore.
People like you and me of course will of course purchase the R-rated, 4hr cut, 16:9 aspect version. However there is nothing wrong with producing a version that caters to the 'Walmart cunsumer'. After all that is where most of the money is. We do want them to make at least SOME money on the dvd
You knew of course when you purchased the white ibook that it featured a mere 66mhz bus. You can have the most slamming powerpc with the best nVida card available for the Mac, but if the motherboard can't route the data worth shit.... you know..
love the irony. Here I am reading an article about facial reconition for a cat, after skimming the comments I read the slashdot quote at the bottom of the page.
"All most men really want in life is a wife, a house, two kids and a car, a cat, no maybe a dog. Ummm, scratch one of the kids and add a dog. Definitely a dog. "
Imagine being transported to another dimension somehow. A Dimension not of sight or sound but of mind.
Your standing in your bedroom/gaage/server closet/basement/dens/etc. and everything appears to be the same. You fire up your linux box. Everything seems normal, all is as it was in your original plane of exsistance.
The login prompt appears, your username/password in this counterpart universe and yours is identical, but.....
Who the fuck modded this post? He just quoted form the movie 'Half Baked' where I got the term fish. Where fish = little white boy in prison learning new meanings of brotherly love and avoiding it. He went along with the joke, jesus he wasn't offtopic at all.
Never, under any circumstances ever, be a smartass to the guy who can put you in a room with a large weightlifter with only two teeth in his head and wants to call you fish.
1. Walk into a large cubicle farm that has a shitload of people. Has to be a tech company. This trick will work in other types of farms like those at large accounting houses, but we are specifically looking for hackers.
2. Yell "FBI! Everybody stay calm and in your cubicle. We will walk around and ask each one of you in turn some questions. There is nothing to be worried about. So please remain where you are until we speak with you."
3. All the bearded fatguys making a break for the emergency exits and windows (if your not to high up) are hackers. Also investigate the cubicles and look for the ones who will be hiding under desks, wiping harddrives, eating cds, etc.

everytime Red hat or another Distro releases a new version wouldn't a good portion of the software have already expired?
That's like saying fuck Newton for Einstein proved hime wrong.

like these I wonder if weight will be added to This
I always play an orc, so tje only thing I get is that damn dog.
I don't even think they mention what it was, just some stuff in a flask the Ventura carried in his vest pocket.

I agree pan and scan butchers films, there really isn't another way to say it.
However whatever happened to freedom of choice?
nope.

Well linux seems to be working and so is Mozilla.
Lets try XMMS...well it's playing music so I guess it's working.
Clicked the Gimp icon. Wow! Look at all the colors I can play with.
Well it seems OSS is working just fine. Is this a trick question or something?
I think DivX:) movies, MAME and SNES on my TV with control pad is a great reason to buy this kit.
My Ati Rage Fury Pro does the same thing for a lot less.

The towlie-ban has been lifted. Yiu wanna get high?
get away with being a smartass to a cop.
You can even be a smartass to the prosecutor.
Never, under any circumstances ever, be a smartass to the guy who can put you in a room with a large weightlifter with only two teeth in his head and wants to call you fish.
Easy there, if you submit a story or post a comment you better be prepared for the flames along with the praise.
