I'm not sure about you, but I think most of the people using NoScript do it because they want to see the Internet on their own terms rather than someone elses.
While I respect that the author of NoScript had the courage to publicly admit he did something that really wasn't a good idea, the fact remains that he abused the trust people have (or had) in him.
And I'd think they would rather have me pirate the game than not play at all.
Because game companies exist solely to make you happy rather than to make money, right? Hate to say it, but if that were the case games would be cheaper or free.
I just wanted to say thanks for that post. I've been working on a majorly stressful project for several weeks now and wish I had come across it or something like it a lot sooner.
If you ever find yourself in a relationship where you can't be right some of the time and happy most of the time it's not worth the trouble. Of course people fight, they fight all the time, but so what? Makeup sex is awesome, by the way. Sometimes she's right, sometimes you're right and sometimes one of you is going to be way off base and the other will just have to accept it, but if you don't have the balls to stand up for yourself every now and then and she doesn't have the respect to let you why are you in a relationship in the first place? I mean you as an indefinite pronoun, not you specifically, as I highly doubt you are currently enjoying a relationship based on the data provided.
That relationship left me with two (actually more but the rest are too discouraging to mention) insights: First, I'm happy I'm not that social a person; having your social life be equivalent to a part-time job really messes up your schedule. Second, I'm not entering into a relationship with a person with that kind of social life again. I'm not going to spend twenty hours a week meeting people I don't know on the off chance of perhaps actually spending an afternoon with my partner (if I even get invited/can afford to come along, that is).
I think you can condense those two insights into one: you learned a little about what works for you.
I'm not a very social person either, I like to recharge by doing as little as possible. My wife likes to go out every now and then because she can't stand just hanging around the house. The reason it works though, is that neither of us is at either end of the spectrum so we're able to meet in the middle. Some days we stay in and watch a movie and other days we go to the park or host a party. It's very important that if you don't share the same level of introversion/extroversion that you're at least able to reach a compromise. While you probably walked away from that relationship a little sore it sounds like you also walked away a little wiser.;)
To answer the original question, I live in an area where finding local geeks is pretty difficult. To fill that need I communicate with them on the Internet and occasionally try to arrange meet-ups when I'm vacationing in their area. I dated a geek girl for a while in high school but found it way too difficult because we tended to end up in power struggles on the topic of computers. Even if you define yourself as a geek you shouldn't limit yourself to searching for friends and women in the same field. Try to diversify as much as possible.
I know most people here do not bother to read articles before commenting, but you could at least have bothered to read the./ summary...
Judging by the timestamp, he was probably just trying to get first post while giving the impression he knew what he was talking about. Looks like he failed on both counts.
My favorite part of the turbo was assembling burgers in Space Quest IV. As soon as the line started moving too fast we'd press the turbo button and things would run at half speed.
Kids these days don't know how lucky they are to get cheat codes.;)
Oh man, I have to wipe coffee off my keyboard... That's the funniest post I've ever read on Slashdot!
Ran out of mod points before I got to it though... =(
Nothing I build on my own will look as cool as an Alienware laptop, or other vendors that make equipment for high-end computers users, utilizing specialized parts.
Looks like/. editing system hates me today... Just a hunch, but the sense of entitlement comment was probably referring to the fact that he pirated the game and decided he would never pay for it rather than the fact that he was upset.

Some days, I swear truly brainless people have already been bred....
Can't wait to see how this one turns out.
So RTFS means read the first sentence eh? ;)

Relationships. Ur doing it wrong.

Slashdot, Slashdot, home to so many misogynists :(
Really? I never saw him mention women once in that post. Which raises a far more disturbing thought...

Looks like it was modded both.

Is that perhaps why you don't build systems? ;)
Why shuld I read TFA whan I dont bother reading my own posts?
Don't worry, we don't bother reading your posts either.
3. When you're completely out of ideas keep throwing people at the problem until somebody has an idea that sounds like it might work.
Maybe they wanted an older (closer to dead) person to test on because the process wasn't guaranteed to be safe.
You could probably rig something up with Autohotkey.

Just a hunch.
This outta be more entertaining then all seasons of Heroes combined!
Given the last two seasons, they haven't set the bar too high.
