Why do you dilute the conversation by posting an off-topic comment bitching about someone else's comment (which, by the way, was also a valid comment...just as yours was vaildly moderated to 0) bitching about the pathetic comment that got moderated as funny?
it's uppity, whingy, self-important dweebs like yourself that are spoiling slashdot for everyone. yeesh.
Um...I'm the uppity one? I posted my reply about the cybersex post. In that reply I said that it was sad it was moderated as funny. You come and pronounce my post as off-topic, however aren't you being hypocritical in doing so. According to you, that should be done by the moderators, not by making replies. And I'm the self-important one. I was merely stating my opinon. In the future, Mr. Coward, please refrain from stomping on other people's opinons and resorting to immature name calling.
I know this will be modded down as offtopic or flaimbait. I don't care. I had to defend myself since, according to the author, I am a self-important dweeb.
I agree. The latest ask/. articles have been lacking something...but what? OH! I KNOW! How about common sense??? I thought the "how do I travel with an LCD screen?" article was bad....
I totally agree! Maybe we would already have something like this if people weren't so pessimistic. Just imagine if M$ made their own version and packaged it with an OS service pack, in long horn(or whatever it called), or IE 7. What we need is a common standard for something like this to take off. We have the bandwidth for this already (unless your on 56k like me:( ). MMORPGs are played on cable modems, a Metaverse would be similar in the 3d world sense. Who will be the first to form the Metaverse Stadard Committee or something? We can do this today if we just believe!
And you can speak to me when you learn how to write sentences! Maybe your problem is that you can't effectively communicate your ideas. You jumble your words together so it's hard to understand you.;)
"See you, when I can have bandwidth at 0.02c / 100G, at 100Mbits/s to my home."
What is that supposed to mean? Maybe you should stop using your 56k modem and take some grammer and writing classes and then try again.
seen how many DNUGs there are that say either ".NET Sucks" or "Linux Rulz." Man, do people have nothing better to do or what? Who cares if they setup DNUGs? It's not like you are forced to go and they strap you into a chair and play Microsoft promo movies while your eyes are taped open! Although....I prob shouldn't give them any ideas.
find this wrong? I mean...sure...the kid has to game. That's completely understandable. Don't listen to the lamers who say "Don't game on your down time." Who says you can't game AND go out and see new places?
But does it really take an ask slashdot article to find this out? Come on! There are so many ask/. articles nowadays that are very simple and could be answered quickly with common sense or atleast a google search. What's the next ask/. article gonna be. What should I pack my eBay sellings in? Foam peanuts or bubble wrap? Give me a break.
Go ahead and mark this post as a troll. However, I think there are more worthwhile ask/. articles to be posted. (esp. mine on Community-Wide Wireless Networks;) ) Is there anyone else who agrees? Or am I just burning my karma?
Movie: "There is one thing. If you can find your minor..." RING RING RING Idiot answers his phone and start talking...not in a wisper either! Me: "You f*cking moron. Turn off your f*cking cellphone before I come down there and stuff the stale movie popcorn down your throat and choke you to death! This movie isn't XxX you idiot...you have to actually listen to the movie to get it!" Audience cheers as moron leaves theater.
Atleast thats how I remember it. I hate more legislation for something that should just be common courtesy, but at the same time I like to enjoy my performances. Fine these @$$holes $500 an offense...see how fast they turn them off.
LAN parties rock! You know what else rocks? When your own school is willing to host them! That's right, my high school hosts my lan parties. Infact, we are having one on Sunday as a "before school blowout". Can't shake a stick at "real" computer tables and a 1.5mbit connection to the internet for free can ya? God I am lucky!:)
Nice to know that the RIAA has given Listen4Ever.com lots of free publicity. And you know what they say about publicity right? I should hope so. If not, just wait for someone to reply with the answer and get modded 5, Informative.;)
My question to Alton would have to be about dorm room food. Do you have any interesting ideas or tips? Everyone has their own spin on "1001 ways to cook Raman Noodles." How about you add your unique spin on the old favorite? Or, better yet, a totally new idea on dorm room food. It needs to be simple, fast, inexpensive, and (atleast) somewhat edible.:)
I know what we really need, an Alton Brown Recipe Database. Then we could search by what we have in the ol' ice box and find a suitable recipe with that great Alton flair! A novel idea, but one can always dream. Anyway, keep cookin' Alton!
Taking and/or receiving items that have value without paying the price for such items is THEFT, whether it be a car, software or a "Snickers" bar
Let me explain this. In your example, the car company and the candy company spent money to produce that product and need to you to buy it to turn a profit. However, if I copy the software it is not the same. The company did not lose money. Why? Because I wouldn't have bought it because it's so damn expensive. How is this THEFT? I understand that it is illegal (and rightfully so), but it is certainly not "theft". You can not apply the same rules to concrete (car, snickers) and abstract (software, music) things.
to see that the #1 campaign contributers for Howard L. Berman are the TV/Music/Movies industries. Also notice the the computer equipment and services industry is the lowest supporter. Data from here. ----------------
You must use that bandwidth at work for "personal" use at least once (a day..heh). What kind of ping do you get in Counter-Strike? Come on...we know you play it!
I was thinking along the lines of the IBM Thinkpad 730T, which I found on eBay for a nice price. Now all I need to do is get it working so I can play freeciv from my living room.

You don't have to download anything to do that Just go buy The Sims! lol
Oh yes! Everyone who plays Everquest (I don't) pays a monthly fee to walk around and socialize! heh...you Evercrack ppl crack me up.
But seriously, Active World has been doing this for years. The real roadblocks are bandwidth, a universal standard for 3dworlds, and adoption.
How sad is it that this got modded as funny....there are only a bazillion people who used the cybersex joke. Come on!
