I'd think they should be able to appeal to the Supreme Court though. How can you prove you have standing if it illegal for you to know whether you have standing or not. Even the current Court would find that one difficult I'd think.
That's only 1/6 of the price of the phone and, since it probably accounts for 1/2 of the weight, you're actually coming out ahead. Its all in the maths.
I think not. With "The Truth About Aliens" leading the/. poll on what we want to know, I find it hard to believe that this story's timing is anything other than the result of our demands. Slashdotters FTW!
At least the Russians have the balls to go there and get the oil and gas out. To hell with the baby seals and polar bears.
The bears and seals have had, literally, thousands of years to exploit these resources. If they aren't going to use it they should darn well stand aside for someone who is, period.
Actually it does have to do with politics, particularly with free speech. Manhunt 2 is being shelved because of an AO rating which some believe to be based more on politicals than actual content. So, in that sense, Politics is a more appropriate section than games. Just as if a studio were targetted with a controversial NC-17 rating and stopped distribution of the film as a result.
If I wanted to read about games, I wouldn't have set my preferences to hide all the stories.
Then don't read it. You are actually NOT udner any obligation to read every story that appears on your slashdot page. No, no, really, its true. You can choose to skip over a story.
You're constant misclassifications circumvent my preference.
You do realize that, based on your UID alone that there are 841,676 other users, right? And that most would find this to be an appropriate classification? In other words, slashdot as a whole is more important than your preferences.
You are a douche bag.
While that could well be true, based on the little interaction I've had with him, I'd doubt it.
I hope you die,
In hindsight, I bet you're thinking that this might be a bit harsh. If not, well, ironically enough, you are actually the target audience for Manhunt 2!
but barring that, I hope you stop foisting your obsession with video games on the clearly uninterested.
Based on the number of comments this and related stories have garnered, I'd have to say that the interested outweigh the uninterested.
Didn't they say that that the Brits are ignoring the Adult Gamers in their decision? So, since they made it for Adult Gamers, shouldn't they be welcoming the Adults Only mark? Oh it wasn't just made for a niche market then, eh?
Is that the only way to stop global warming is to dramatically increase the number of pirates. Were it not for these valiant File Sharing buccaneers, we'd already be hip deep in the Ocean. Who are we to deny them their religious freedoms under the 1st Amendment? The recording industry is not only areligious, but also anti-Constitution.
Could this be a forerunner of a gaming tabletop? All the terrain, units and record keeping are kept for you as you play on a largish surface. Could be pretty cool.
Originally he sentenced to read and reply to every piece of spam he received for 90 days, but, after the ACLU intervened, it was determined that that would constitute cruel and unusual punishment.

By far the best game ever was Blazemonger. THousands of levels, nerve shattering graphics, nothing has even come close to matching its intensity.
Long answer: not so much.
Slashdot: you ask, we answer.

They had their chance.
Pfffft. Real slashdotters only need a headline.

Yep. Sounds like a trap.
The Copyright Royalty Board has changed its initials to SCO...
Its just business. Call it the Custer's Revenge Rule.
But my iPhone let's me browse all I want and you can't do anything about it because my plan is through... crap.

That'd be an Evil nintendo thing, since kittens are more kid oriented. More likely the heatsinks are made out of the tortured souls of Vista QC'ers.
Remember kids; it ain't marketing unless it ends with a bang!
Well it is Slashdot;-) There are two sides to every opinion: the right one and the uninformed, close-minded one.
I knew it! And here I've been using them as coasters and material for alternative artworks like a sucker:-/
Even though I never had an account with them, for the longest time they always seemed to know where I lived because they kept sending me CDs. Spooky.

2500+ odd stories in 2 weeks certainly makes one wonder if some of the fanfictioners didn't get the memo that they were supposed to be ticked.
Luke!
Carrie!
Is flying through storms all that good of an idea? Really?
No beer is the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.
