Wow, if 7even is that much better than 6ix was, I can't wait until 8ight comes out.
I only have 2wo questions for you: since you installed 3hree different versions (one even be4our it was officially released), did you find that 9ine times out of 10en, the 60ixty-4our bit version lacked driver support four your devices?
And also, are you aware that the number "seven" does not, in fact, begin with a "7"?
You actually get to "moderate" "posts" of several dozen people. In fact, the other posts are possibly the more important ones to moderate since they affect your daily life a lot more than the celebrities at the top of the ticket.
Unfortunately, most people ignore the posts that they should be paying attention to and instead get wrapped up in the national hype. But it's all the politician's fault, not the idiot voters who don't pay attention to local races.
Oops, I think my metaphor broke down there somewhere. Sorry.
I think the problem people are having is that the "Obama" ideal meant a completely different thing to each and every person who voted for him. Every one of them thought Obama's goals and desires lined up 1:1 with their own personal wishes. So, naturally, as they find out that they were completely deluded and/or projecting, they'll be a bit testy.
You can please some of the people some of the time, etc., etc. I wouldn't fault Obama for that.
Not to burst your bubble, but the vast majority of the funds he received DID come from "your average citizen". It's one of the more remarkable things about the campaign.
Newsflash, that's the whole point. We just experienced a record voter turnout, so the whole "apathetic voter" meme can probably go away.
What people are suddenly realizing is that voting doesn't _matter_. It's the unelected political appointees that are the "real" government. And they're pretty much all scum-suckers.
If you're 65 and had your entire retirement savings in stocks, you're an idiot. Stocks are risky and volatile. What's happening right now? That's the "risk" part. If this never happened, we'd all keep our money in stocks forever and be insanely rich.
Moving your investments over gradually into less risky areas as you grow closer to retirement allows you to keep the gains you've made over your life and have the confidence that something like this won't cause you to lose most of your wealth right as you want to retire.
Whoa there buddy, it's not quite that awesome. I don't see anywhere that the Knight class has any kind of "tour" method at all. Nor does the board allow you to set it up as 100x100. In fact based on the docs you linked to, the perl snippet above won't even run.
Maybe the OP was just having some fun, but some may misunderstand and think this actually exists. The Chess module is just a way to represent a common game of chess, encapsulating the pieces, moves, and rules in an easy-to-read manner.
Then again, maybe he's using an updated version;-)
Then you'll like Lake Wintergrasp in the upcoming WoW expansion. An entire area dedicated to non-instanced PvP, territory control, and with siege weapons to boot:-)
It's not about that. It's about allowing people to compete on a level playing field - in other words, if you want to do arenas, you can work your way up to the same level of gear as the "elites", but unless you have the skill, you won't "win".
Getting gear isn't "winning". Winning is winning. To appropriate your analogy, how fun would football or basketball be if you constantly had to play teams that were twice your size, speed, and strength?
Personally I don't object to such monitoring on privacy grounds. I object to it because the entire premise of catching terrorists via emails is ridiculous, and not something I want my tax money spent on. That, and because it's a fairly transparent power-grab by the federal government.
Slashdot Mirror
The "Most Excellent" post title kind of gives it away. But I'll take the bet if you're still offering.
He's talking about this, not that.
RIght. After all, it's the letter next to your name that defines you, not your actual beliefs or anything.
Why?
His point was that the first "action" they would take to "improve" government would be to remove that stipulation.
And we're back where we started.

You only think we live in an analog world because the quantization is too small for you to detect. ;)
I don't think the industry needs pesky things like "facts" for them to blame piracy for bringing down their profits.
You ascribe to them much undeserved truthiness.

the first chink in the army
Is that some kind of racist asian joke? ;-)
I believe you're looking for "chink in the armor". Although that is the funniest eggcorn I've seen in a while.

I've never understood this. What's to stop someone from just saying "I'm a Jew" without going through all the hoops? Who is going to prove them wrong?
And don't forget about Virgania Horsen's Pony Express. She got sued into oblivion for that one.

Where's the "+6 Took the words out of my mouth" mod?

That explains it! Just remember to replace "gaming" with "gaming obsessively" so you don't cast too wide a net.
To be fair, it's not exactly unexpected that people would talk about the ads on a slashdot discussion centering around those ads.
Nobody outside of slashdot is discussing them more than a few seconds after they air. They really don't have anyone's attention.
Man, ex-gamers are worse than ex-smokers with the smug patronizing, aren't they!
