Short of something like audible commands (like voice dialing on some phones), the best solution I've come up with is to use playlists as shortcuts to certain artists I like and want to play frequently. It would be great to have a voice interface, though. Imagine (for example) just saying, "Pantera", "Great Southern Trendkill", and have it play that.
So, you're suggesting a policy of "Don't tell, don't alt?
Also, that was a pretty good rant. And the underlying idea that this is just a game puts into perspective. You're 100% right that there are more pressing problems than sexual expression in games.
Well, obviously, because a shark is like a car and the medium that a shark swims through (ceaselessly making analogies), i.e., the ocean, is like the road system.
Some analogies are like 5 lane highways, while others are little more than dirt paths. Just make sure you don't get shot in the head while on the dirt path, or this analogy will fail miserably.
The math works for me, too. I cancelled my cable about a year ago, and didn't really miss it. The three shows that I would have wanted to watch are The Daily Show, Lost*, and Battlestar Galactica. iTunes has me covered for much less than my monthly cable bill (which I'd still have to pay when Lost and BSG are in reruns).
I'm also not spending as much time watching stupid crap because I'm bored. I'm reading more and finding more productive uses of my time.
*Yes, it's a "regular TV" network show, but I have really lousy TV reception.
No, they didn't say "there might be", they said that there were, and that they had proof.
If it was a matter of "might be", why couldn't they have let the inspectors continue for another month or two? The fact is that this was never about the WMDs. The WMDs were just the cover. The neocons had put Iraq at the top of their list long before Bush was even elected.
The administration had already decided. They ignored evidence that didn't support their claims, and emphasized anything that would support their agenda.
Now, can we say 'non-combatants'?;-) No one in their right mind could think the people in the video looked military in any way, they're civilians through and through.
You could tell what they were wearing from the video? Did we watch the same video? Even if one could discern their clothing, one could not say for sure they weren't the bad guys. In an insuregency/guerilla war, the enemy often is wearing the same clothing as the friendlies.
So, how does one make the decision to hose off a couple of guys with trucks parked near a field? You watch them, and their actions define your course of action. We watched them run out into the field and deposit what was most likely an IED (Improvised Explosive Device), something that is already taking a big toll on our troops. On the other hand, a friendly wouldn't be out in the middle of the night, throwing a long tube into a field, and then pacing off the distance to the road. Even then, if you were listening to the audio, the A130 had to be given clearance to fire. Who ever gave clearance wanted to be sure that the crew saw what they said they saw. The crew was obviously a well trained and disciplined group.
I'm not sure what you'd have them do. Call the police and have them investigate? Arrest the suspects? Call the bomb squad to check out the suspicious pipe? I don't know, you didn't suggest anything other than that the subjects on the ground need to be "re-educated" (which they surely were).
This isn't peace time. It's war. And in war, 'tis better to give than receive.
The original gunships in Nam were built from the venerable C47. They used 7.62 and 20 mm gattlings. Later, they used A130 Specters, and some of those had two 40 mm bofors (essentially WW2 era AA). Even later, one of the 40 mm guns was replaced by a M105A1 howitzer (this model was the PAVE Spectre, I think).
It's clear that the subjects in this video were combatants, even under very strict ROE (Rules of Engagement).
I don't think we should be in Iraq, but I have full confidence in our troops to do the job professionally. And if we are going to stay there for a while, can we PLEASE make sure our boys and girls are properly equipped? (Just in case Rumsfeld reads slashdot.)
I don't care how. Make the blades so thin they're invisible. Put some on the handle. I don't care if they have to cram the fifth blade in perpendicular to the other four, just do it!
It's all about page hits. The editors are trolling for page hits and "ad impressions". The internet has become a contest to see who can be a bigger troll/whore than John Dvorak.

Uh, note that I didn't say next Tuesday. =) But most likely on some Tuesday, some time in the future.

More storage than Archos, Wireless, Lame.
Pandas aren't spotted.
They're black and white and red all over.
Next thing you know, some one will discover a BSD installation in the wild.
Netcraft confirms it!
They literally try to suck you in.
Next time I'm in a coffee shop, I'm going to order a GBLT on wheat. Do I want fries or onion rings with that? I dunno. Which is gayer?

Hell, just thinking about drinking chinese tiger penis soup is giving me a stiffy.
I don't believe this, and I won't be satisfied until I carefully examine the list of logins and passwords to the alleged pr0n sites.
BSD is dead. Netcraft confirms it,
Therefore, a BSD license would be very apt for snuff films.
You're almost there, but you're not quite getting it. Apparently oo 2 is so bad, they're repackaging it as a first person shooter.

Haven't you heard about the "Don't ask, don't come in my mouth" Policy?
with your "wipe the hard drive"
Back in my day, we didn't have hard drives. We used our fingers! AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY!
And if someone rooted your box, it meant they were groping your crotch.
But my basic CS-paranoia asks me:
"Is this specific person, who posted this specific article containing a bounty on slashdot 'the' Dave Schroeder."
I concur. I suspect this is really Dave's evil twin. Or perhaps it's mini-Dave.
The guy gives out SSH accounts. There was no need to penetrate this layer of security, because he left the door wide open.
So, to use the most disgusting analogy possible, it was like raping the goatse guy.
Heh heh, I said analogy.
I wish I had mod points! =)
