dude, don't call me boy #1. secondly, aren't you just repeating what i am saying? How far removed from america are you? have you even been here to see the diversity amongst cultures. It's one big "melting pot". i've travelled around the world -- i know about other cultures. for instan, the only good place to get sticky rice is in thailand (mmm sticky rice). thirdly.... log in if you are going to argue with me. i mean, cmon
so what if you're going to get modded to a flamebait "-2". if you believe so strongly against the US log yourself in, and them tell me what you think. if you are swayed in your opinions so easily that a movie can change your view of hate to pity, i pity you. and as an american i will respond to your statement.
Fuck...the US.
slow down there son, it's not our fault one of our companies patented this. clam down
Their patent legislation
yes, this is a sad state and something horribly worng with the united states. there are citizens fight this every day and i really am against software patents in particular. it's unfair and unjust, i would like it changed as well
Their DMCA + enforcements Their RIAA, MPAA, etc.
Again, i wish i could argue with you, but i feel strongly against these as well
Their Microsoft-style arrogant worldwide trusts and other übergreed corporations
now what does this mean? just because you use the word "microsoft" in a sentence doesn't mean whatever you are describing is bad or evil. our "ubergreed" corporations? the ones that made it possible for you to be on that box you are typing on today? if they are so bad, why do you use their technology?
Their "justice" system, giving justice just for rich white men
I honestly don't find the justice that the rich white men recieve as justice. the ones stealing from other americans by lying on quarterly reports just so they can sell their stocks high and not tried fairly. an uber-rich black man got away with urdering his ex wife. that's not justice either. our justice system does deliver justice, but your example makes it appear as if stealing and getting away with it is just. how?
Their gun laws
what about them? we are allowed to own them? what is so unappealing about our right to bear arms? sure criminals can get thier hands on them, but i'd rather live free with less security then all the security in the world being governed closely.
Their violency and their wars
our violency? we learned that from menbers of the EU. france and germany have fought for hundreds of years. we even help the french out a couple times. we didn't create violence, but we are not the only ones using it.
Their presidents and other politicians
how... HOW do you find this an argument to "Fuck" the us? what about our presidents and politicians? we have known for years politicians are sneaky and lie. most of our horrible joke float around this concept.
Their constitution
if you for one second are going against the constitution of the united states, you are a utter moron. what is wrong with our constitution? it guarantees liberty, freedom, justice. it's not our consitution that is wrong it's how it's being used, or the lack thereof. have you even read it? it's a pretty good deal that enables me to live my life the way i wnat it. The constitution is what makes america great. not our money, not our military, not our horrible rock music. it's the constitution. i stand by the constitution my forefathers wrote before i stand behind my current leader.
Their culture
our culture? which one? american is a place of many cultures of many people. it's not just one "pop" mtv culture -- there are many other way s to experience life aside from the glitz of music tlevision.
Their hypocrisy and their stupidity...and even the colo(u)rful language they've brutally raped.
how for one second do you find english colo(u)rful? it's an ugly germanic language. latin languages make so much more sence and have a beauty and a flow that feels like water coming off your tounge. as for our hipocrisy -- there are 300,000,000 of us. it's easy for half to say one thing and the other half to do another.
Why is using a scraper robot so different from, say, walking into Best Buy with a handheld and recording product pricing manually?
well for one thing, you can't be sold service plans, monster cables (you need them), msn internet access... and hell why not get that surround sound system and plasma with those prices you are obtaining?
all joking aside that is the difference -- by having a bot that scours the internet, you are not being sold on that service -- which is why the page is there. it can conflict with usage agreements
/me shrugs. i think it's lame and i would do the same thing
did anyone elses read the article? if so check out the first screenshot with the "worker zombie" -- not only is it amazingly good lookin, but that zombie was well blessed in the "family jewels' depatrment... i mean jeesh. (or is it just me... i'm not gay am i?)
Now, theoretically, if you can get the nintendo to somehow load code off the SD card, then you could run a full linux distro off your cube! that'll show those bastards at nintendo to make a proprietary machine:)
yeah, it's a bummer we don't get to look cooler:( at least the version number jokes will be dealyed until 3.0 comes out (see there's a good side almost everything!)
for one thing you can check the AppDB at wine first to see if it runs (or transgaming)... then you can go out an buy it. and whowants a game console that you can only set up on one tv and if you change tvs you have to tell the console makers for permission
. sounds like a blast! where can i get my "game console" so i can begin raping my computer;p
well, if you were to look further on the sourceforge page you'd notice that they do frequent cvs updates. they don't realase files because the binaries are only available to subscribers. there is much activity and it is very fair to call any for of wine alpha because wine is a long ways away from nearing beta of final
thank you for giving me an example. i am surrounded with intelligent people (not to e harsh or demeaning to your mother) that really think things through when it comes to actins taken by your administration... or at least from what i've seen so far. Your mother is a prefect example and if there are more like that i can see 100% where you are coming from and i will retract any statement from before. I didn't know the approval was still at 70% -- jeez.
I'm a huge fanyboy of nintendo, so i'm stoked to hear this news. I've been a fan of the gta series since the first one, all the packs, gta2, and now gta3. my computer has linux on it and barely runs gta3 -- i refuse to buy a ps2 because i really don't like the machine. I have a cube and am so stoked to see this message. time to go to my local gamestop and get a reserve (along with duke nukem forever)

hsould meet your requirements. they're really quick and if you play yearly (or six monthly) they have some discounts. i also believe they give you the domain registration free when you host with them (IIRC). hope that helps
free as in beer? am I mistaken but doesn't GNU make linux free as in speech? can somone correct me on this, but after following the link I didn't find any information about that. i'm somewhat confused:/
are you an american? (i mean that totally geographically) I assume you are reading your past comments/journals as you suggested. you know, i don't personally agree with most of our administration's decisions, and i agree with the feel of your message, saying you have rights taht aren't being given.
This is what upset me in your post
...[Public] Oh my God, lock him up! Terrorist?! Terrorism?! Make it stop, please! We'll do anything just-make-it-stop!
who is this generalized "public"? I'm the "public". Aren't you're the "public"? I see your stance against the US administration's misuse of power, but i really fail to grasp why it is you are attacking the american public under this big umbrella. there are portions of the population that blindly follow what their leaders say... "I rekin' you shoul' throw all o' dem ter'st's with sah-dam on an island...out there... and blow 'em up" but generalizing the entire population? I've seen some pretty thick brained people make the correlation of this to mcarthy procedings at least. For example, In a high school english class students say "hey, communism was used kind of like how terrorism is being used".
c'mon. it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the connection (maybe if ashcroft holds upa folder proclaiming he has names of terrorists within us administration -- then it'd get blatant). Could you give me some examples of ignorant americans spouting off on how great their administration is? (honestly, i haven't seen any that weren't wearing cowboy boots and strummin' a guitar). I await your responce
(oh and by the way, the typos are just out of my plain laziness)
no. i'm sorry but this is a pathetic attempt at seeming intelligent or "cool" with the community. Just becasue everyone else is doing it doesn't make it cool to totally twist things out of proportion. ashcroft (and the bush administration) are making mistakes, but do you really think the public is SO DUMB that they can't make concience decisions fro themselves? i mean seriously. I'm the public, you're the public. I don't cry when a country singer hits a high note singin' "nine eleven" or "iraq and i roll". Yes miranda rights are read to you when being arrested, very good. but where do you go when you're arrested? i mean it's cool if you strongly believe the public eats up whatever the administrations deals out -- but give them/some/ credit.

yeah, but this isn't because it's a great game, it's a great port. I'm quite sure that the slashdot reporters* will gladly report on a great windows game in the near future. As to wether there will be Linux port of it, don't hold your breath too long.

are you proposing we plan a DoS attack against slashdot intentionally? ummmm
about $162 (including tax 8%) for an XBox
so if i were to get 10 733Mhz (IIRC) machines running linux and beowulfed (drool) for my little compile farm (i run gentoo, and am impatient)
$1600 for a freaking fast little cluster.

We are having major server problems at the moment. Something is up - we will fix this
yup. it's called a damn good slashdotting buddy. you better have some fire extinguishers ready to fix your "server problems"
So far, the Dems seem confused and fractured; completely unable to beat anyone, let alone a popular sitting President.
