Listen to this one then; you open a company called the Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bollocks. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in cheques!
I noted the question mark. However, the article text seemed to suggest that it was finalized, and the question mark was in the same meaning as the one in my subject line.
I was in class at the time, so I wasn't looking up pr0n, if that's what you think. Consider it more of a Freudian slip (as there are a lot of hot girls in the class.)
Make up your bloody mind - Editors/Moderators. The article says that the show is canceled, but the article linked to says that the show's cancellation has not been announced? Journalistic integretity my arse.
No, no, no. What we need, is is Bun-Bun. Ka-Click baby!

Umm... are we talking about the same thing? According to the CAN-SPAM act, if someone uses a crawler to harvest E-Mail addresses for the purpose of spamming, then it's illegal. I see nothing wrong with that.
No, no, no. Mooks are those nameless bad-guy thugs in action movies who exist for the sole purpose of dying and making our hero look cool while doing so.
As it is, is anyone else getting vibes of Rifter Magazine here (Palladium Games' periodical for the various games that use the Palladium System, with a focus on Rifts.)
Not to mention the Street Vendors are (or at least were) affiliated with the Triads. Every time someone in Hong Kong downloads a movie, a Triad boss loses money.
Oh, and by the way, if you ever go to Hong Kong and decid to buy counterfeit clothing, DVDs, or whatever, don't pay with a credit card, or else you'll become part of another classic Triad racket - counterfeit credit cards.
Considering the quality (other slashdotters chuckle) of Pirates of the Carribiean, i oculd see this movie working. If anything, the Tron 2.0 video game did a good job of demonstrating that the core concepts and elements of the movie can still work in the present day.
A few thoughts on how the update could work.
Kevin Flynn (or the equivilent character) is a programmer in the Open Source community since he left/was terminated from the company. He still runs the arcade, as in the original.
MCP remains an Artificial Intelligence that used to be a Chess program.
The movie's locations can move beyond just the main server to perhaps Flynn needing to get a file from his home computer (FPS program perhaps?)
References to Linux and Windows terminology (yes, User's are powerful, but Administrator/Root is even more powerful)
Alan Bradley is a network administrator. However, Peter (Dillenger's lieutenant) would be his supervisor.
And, of course, slight changes in the games to reflect how the computer world, including gaming has changed since the early 80s (the "Vector graphic" look of the original for certain parts of the world, but for certain Games the look would change to reflect the game, somewhat). Not all of this would be stuff like first person shooters, RTS games, Racing games, and all that stuff. As a lot of employees play flash games at school/work, Flash games could be a part of this.
Not particularly. I got the impression from reading it that the author was just plugging eXeem. There's more there, but I got the impression that the point of the article was to plug eXeem.
They probably chose the lowest bidder. The problem with "Lowest Bidder" systems, in my opinion, is just because the company puts in a low bid, doesn't mean that's what it actually will cost nor does it mean that the system will actually work.
What the government should put into place is a "Middle Bidder" system. In theory, that should encourage contractors to put forward more reasonable estimates of the costs of projects.
[sarcasm]Wow! I didn't know there's a country without violent crime.[/sarcasm]
But seriously folks. Criminals, especially violent criminals, will carry weapons. It's as much of a constant as death and taxes. When they couldn't carry guns in parts of Austrailia, they carried swords instead. And unless they decide to restrict themselves to clubs, hand-to-hand self defence is not the best way to defend yourself from attack without being harmed.
Furthermore, you may use a firearm in defense of yourself or your property should your home be broken into. Less cumbersome than a sword, better range than Mace, don't have to worry about a dead battery like a Taser/Stungun.
And besides, the gun itself can cause an auditory incentive. A friend of mine had his house broken into while he was in it. He scared the robber away by simply pumping the action on a shotgun. No shots were fired. He never even faced off with the crook.
"Necessary" might be a poor choice of words for the GrandParent poster, but it works. When criminals have access to firearms, non-lethal weapons and leathal weapons that can put out less damage are not always a deterrant (remember Angel Dust).
Ditto. I do understand the concerns with malfunction (gun glitches and recognizes a foe as a friend instead and don't fire, leading to dead cop). However, if they are able to work the glitches out in the system, I don't see how this would infringe on the 2nd amendment. You can still keep guns.
I could see the uber-right wing milita getting PO'd over this, but that'd probably be because they couldn't be able to fire on police officers or ATF agents if they felt it necessary.
Note: I am not saying that Apple should still sue this guy. There is a possible legal precident here. Specifically, are weblogs and internet news sites allowed the same amount of freedom regarding disclosure of sources that newspapers, and radio and television news is. Depending on how the judge rules, this could come back and bite the blogging community and internet news sites (including, possibly, Slashdot as well) in the ass.
That is assuming this whole lawsuit is an attempt by Apple to get the identities of DePlume's sources.
Harvard has a need blind admissions policy; there's no reason to think this kid has cash.
However, there is the matter of tuition, lab fees, books, housing (either on campus or off), food, etc. If the kid (or his parents) don't have cash, then he'd having to pay for those expenses either with scholarship money, student loans, or out of pocket. And, considering that Harvard's reputation, I don't think their Harvard's tuition is going to be cheap.
Note: I have not read Harvard's schedule of classes yet, but I plan to rectify this situation once I get home and actually have an oppertunity to sit down and read it.
A log! Feh! In my day we were lucky to have a burnt log. We had to draw using our own fecal material. If you didn't have to go (nudge-nudge wink-wink), you couldn't write!
And forget about having a flat rock. We had to write on the ground, and every time it rained, our writing got washed away. You got it easy!

I don't remember the exact episodes, but I believe he got some a few times.

Since they are sharks, and sharks are fish, wouldn't that technically be a navy of sharks with frickin' laser beams on their foreheads?
RTFA, hell, RTFS - In the case of the attorney, there was no warrant.
