Could a bullet be a cure for cancer or diabetes as well? Or is this only for the fags with AIDS? No, you're not funny. Nor is this a joke. But you're not going to hell because there is no hell. You're just an asshole.
Since it's a naturally occuring virus and was not created, they can't patent the virus itself, I assume. They can patent the method of using the virus for treatment of cancer which is understandable. I, however, would like to patent this virus for "flavor enhancement." If you injest my new flavor ingredients made up of this virus and just happen to have cancer and it cures you, I'm not really violating the patent. Am I?

Incorrect usage of "of" instead of "have" in the question. O'Reilly's answer starts with an unusual number of "haves." Coincidence? Or subtle joke?
The problem with this game is that Dirk's movement is way too stiff. Also, when you're trying to move Dirk through the dark tunnel, the balls get in your way. There's also no multiplayer so you only play with yourself.
Yea, I liked it pretty well too. The full range motion, like you mentioned, plus being able to save the game at any time. It was a not-too-hard, jumping/puzzle, fight/action game with a little bit of a story. Nice change of pace from the frantic twitch FPSs that we are bombarded with.
One thing I've noticed in other bad reviews of it is they say Dirk moves way too slow. I wonder if they just didn't figure out double-tapping the forward key makes him run faster.
Only thing I didn't like was lots of crashing. Somewhat buggy. Also, it was a little short.
Can someone explain to me why a reply to my post that expands on my original point gets a 4 while I stay at a 1 (not that the replier didn't deserve the 4)? Readers that filter out anything below a 2 will have a hard time making sense of the higher-moderated post. Is it because I spelled article wrong?
This policy of moderating new members lower seems to discourage new posters and consequently new ideas and views on slashdot. I'm sure this has all been pointed out before, though, so rant ends now.
From the artical, "Literally, our very lives are at stake now. George and I are just praying that we can finish 'Episode III' in time, before it's all over." So Lucas and Mcallum are going to "literally" die if the box office does bad? DVDs and piracy kills, kids. This seems to indicate the rest of the interview is a rant as well and not based on any facts.
Where's the incentive to make the OS secure. Keep it as insecure as possible and then make a killing selling the security options. Wait a minute! Maybe that was their plan all along. That would explain a lot.
We need to have a device where we can be "jacked in" to the entertainment industry's flow of information at all times. That way, they could constantly bombard our brains with commercials and info we're obligated to see no matter where we are or what we're doing. After all, we're under contract to see this stuff. Funny that I don't recall signing my contract.
I work for a government agency and this is par for the course. Contractors routinely give us software that is not ready for prime time. Government workers then become guinea pigs and bug-chasers for the contractors. If someone creative within the government makes a useful product, it is almost always handed to a contractor who then sells it back to us. Contracts routinely go over budget and the same pet contractors seem to win all the bids. Several higher-ups often "retire" and go to work for contractors which they did special favors for. Although this is technically illegal, there's a loophole for justifying it if it's "for the good of the country." What I'm trying to say is that the government is in the business of corporate welfare, and government contractors generally suck.
What are all these commercial products Bill is talking about that require MS middleware to run? If IE or Mediaplayer were gone, what other programs would crash? Is this more FUD? The only thing I can think of is DirectX, and I'm not sure that qualifies as middleware. It's updated so often anyway that the games that use it usually have a version on their CD that can be installed. And another thing...why aren't the States' lawyers asking these questions?

Have any of Bill Gates predictions ever come true? Or does he have a record of being wrong 100% of the time?

Isn't the rectenna that giant satellite dish that came out of Cartman's butt in the first episode of SouthPark? Just asking.

Was this not funny? Or is it just too subtle? I think it's hilarious, but of course I wrote it and I'm hopelessly juvenile minded.

It's "friggin'" not "fricking." God! When will slashdotters learn to spell?
Maybe a class-action suit is in order here. Don't even think about taking responsibility for your own actions...take "them" to court.
Was your misspelling of "mispelling" intentional? Funny either way.

Oh and another thing. We will be required to purchase 1 item out of every 10 commercials seen or we will be shut down--as per the EULA

I never trusted that guy on The Love Boat. I hear he's a congressman or something now.
