  1. Re:follow states like washington... on Slashback: Pop-Ups, Books, Qmail · · Score: 1

    The law in washington is not designed to protect domain spoofing, sorry. The law is designed to protect against bulk unsolicoted email personally i wouldn't mind getting only 1 message a day of spam. It would be a hassel but not like the hundreds some get. The law in washington is useful if you get many messages and that $500 a message builds up very quickly.

    Hey at least there IS a law.

    How is hurling rocks more acceptable than using nukes? Clearly are a sheep who has been brainwashed with "nuke = bad" BS. Ok so nukes arent very nice, neither are giant rocks. Both kill, both have the potential to be equally destructive. The weapons dont matter, you can only get so dead. And yes future revolutionaries SHOULD hold a higher grounds or morality. Look at some historical instances and you will see that whenever a revolution is more human the resulting body of control will be too. Whenever brutality is used it NEVER goes away.

    The way i see it is there are LAN parties and then there are lan PARTIES. I have gone to some where its hardcore mountain dew and FPS games, usually no females ;). Myself being 16 years old AND a gamer my favorite type to go to are the ones where people sit around and play while some watch movies, listen to music, eat pizza, and generally hang out. The best part is when we get the girls to play the games, its lots of fun to make fun of the hot-shot who got owned by a NEWB and a girl no less ;).

    Thats exactly what im talking about. Also, i dont know about you but booting up my linux partition on my duel box takes a long time. Time i would rather spend getting to the REAL action on free civ ;)

    Ok you have obviosuly gone to the wrong lan parties. First of all they ARE socializing. When you break into teams everyone can talk together and when the action get intense everyone can yell and laugh together. I have noticed that a good lan party does not have enough comnputer for everyone. I think this is because people need to chill out every now and then otherwise they get cranky and too into the game. Rotating seats is a good way for people to talk and socialize and meybe watch a movie while they wait. And as for there being no girls thats just not true. As long as its not JUST gaming girls will want to come and hang out with everyone else.

    Maybe someone doesn't want to take the hassel to reboot. Why dont you try to convince transgaming (the makers of winex) that linux is the wrong mrket for games. Face it, many people, including me, will pay in REAL money not just code for linux games. Winex does a good job and it is growing FAST, you think some other open source project can grow check out one thats getting an income of REAL money.
