  1. The Tragic History of "me too!!!!" on AOL Fined for Making it Hard to Cancel Service · · Score: 5, Informative

    Long ago, in a far away land called USENET visitors from the land of AOL would come and make damn fools of themselves. They would ask for the dumbest things and threaten non-AOL users that they would be kicked off the Internet because they were going to complain to AOL. Some were clueful or polite but rarely, often they would ask for advice about downloading Pr0n or Warez.

    Any such question would be followed up by no less then 6 more requests of 'ME TOO!!!!". If they found your email address they would send you mail asking for advice about Pr0n or whatever. Mostly they would ask if you were a young boy or girl.

  5. Poisoning the well on Sun Spearheads Open DRM · · Score: 1

    What Sun seems to be doing is to create a open source = unpatentable DRM. There will be a need, it will come down to DRM on media in some form. By making this move and being a early player SUN is making a good placement for themselves and the Open Source Community. It also will keep out the overzelous companies that have put out products that have not worked well with others (hummbfMacrovisonCough).

  6. you forgot to read the article? on Violence in Video Games Debate Continues to Rage · · Score: 1

    Welcome to slashdot! Where nobody reads the article, because that would interfer in first prost bragging rights. However on the other hand, it's likely a Dupe anyway so we may have already read/argued about it anyway.

  7. no proof for gravity? on Violence in Video Games Debate Continues to Rage · · Score: 1, Funny

    Obvously you have not been reading Your Onion Lately.

    "Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University.

  8. All thoses studies, journals, etc, have in common on Violence in Video Games Debate Continues to Rage · · Score: 1, Insightful

    THEY ARE FSCKING BULLSHIT.

    Every one of thousands of sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and psychiatrists who have dedicated their careers to doing such studies have created utter crap. They write these things to get out of doing real work.

    Most Child "Psychologists" never even meet real children. They write theories and apply for research grants from other dimwits who think these studies will change something. If your not willing to get your hands dirty actually solving the problems of one child then you should go get a job in a 7/11 and stop wasting everybody's time.

    This is all part of the cycle of 'I don't care about you kid' in the school, programs, Mega Churches, FOX NEWS, CPS, and foster homes. Kids turn bad because they don't feel wanted. And everybody in the argument has as much to blame has a pimp or crack dealer using kids to make money. I see little difference, except the pimp or dealer is a bit more honest.

    However, claims about the so called youth problem is way out of proportion. As the band Suicidal Tendencies advises (I am paraphrasing), Give the kid a freaking Pepsi and let him figure it out for himself.

  11. Blurring reality is a good idea on Therapists use Virtual Reality for Veterans · · Score: 2, Interesting
    If you can't differentiate the Bad real memories from the bad game memories it robs them of effective power. But beyond that, what bothered me on games earlier on in them is could I have done this or that better. So by running it again and again, I can come up with new ways and win.

    One bit I worry is that we will be condemming our troops to Nintendo Wars, programming robot killers who return to home unbalanced. The GTA Defense may actually be real in 10 years.

    Once I put them on, flirting is a game and it helps that your now blind. But in the morning, It's to time to choose chew off your own arm.

    I use what got me into that mess to get me out. I find that grabbing your pants, screaming FIRE FIRE!!!! and escaping in the ensuing confusing works best. She's looking for the fire your looking for the door. Any stage magician would understand. Also any current bachelor.

  16. Your Sponsorship charge for this Olympic story is on Businesses To Be Censored on Use of Olympics · · Score: 1
    $4500. Please send your check to the IOC Also you used 'Olympics' 5 times, including the Quote which is an extra $3000 per use. That brings your total up to $19500 Also it's against IOC policy to mention non-branded products in a Olympics story. Please refrain from such mentions and pay the additional $56000 fee.

    Over all I agree with you about the Olympics I don't watch NFL, NBA, MLB, or any of the other over sold sports. There is nothing noble about the Olympics anymore. Somebody needs to put a bullet in this dying horse.

  19. Ellen Feiss? I think she turns 18 soon.. on Linux For Supervillains · · Score: 1
    I suspect there is an ulterior motive. Ellen Feiss of the those Apple switch commercials may be involved. Those came out when she was 15 in 2002, it's 2005 now she should be turning 18 soon. I suspect that a editor came across an old pic of her and couldn't find out when she turns 18, hence the posting.

    Well ok, time to reopen that issue and find out. Considering the current crop of vacuous airheads that are living in their 15 minutes now at least we know that one uses computers. I doubt she will ever say 'Chicken by the Sea".....
