I find it sad and hilarious at the same time that you say you are "groupthink incompatible" yet you go on with the same stupid jokes and commentary that 99,9% of slashbots put out. Why don't you embrace your slashbotness instead of living in a dreamworld, thinking you are a beautiful, unique snowflake? Or change your.sig, perhaps, instead?
Well, it would have to be about 650Mb, or a CD's worth of data. I'm sure that nobody is going to miss less than a gigabyte of space in today's hard disks.
Outside the ten people in slashdot who actually have Linux installed in their slashdot just for the sake of it, no one gives a shit about Xbox Linux except, that is, for the mod chip manufacturers who found an excellent argument for saying the modchip has uses other than playing pirate games.
I think the AC is trolling you but I think you're stretching reality a bit when you claim that Macs have "quality over quantity". No, they don't. Most A list games never make it to the Mac, full stop. You might claim that Macs have some decent games and you'd be right, but PCs have everything Macs have and lots, LOTS more.
I agree with you 100% - in fact, although I find time to play games for at least an hour a day and I own all three major consoles and a fast enough PC, the games you mentioned are EXACTLY the ones I enjoyed the most last year. They are actually the only three I liked enough to stick with and actually finish. I am certainly looking forward to the next PoP.
Apple has 3% of the global home PC market while Nintendo has close to 20% of the global console market and 95% of the global handheld console market. Also, "over a grand"? You must be dreaming. Actually, if it were not for the iPod, Apple would have posted a loss last quarter.
It is not a label. The fact that people are incarcerated to be "corrected" and not to be "punished" is a basic foundation of modern societies. I do agree with you that this foundation has been trampled upon. Especially in countries like the US (that allow capital punishment), it is impossible to make rational arguments that you are being given a second chance in prison. A state that kills its citizens obviously does not believe in prison as rehabilitation.
I'll give you a hint: there's a reason it's called a "corrective" facility. The common perception is wrong. It does not matter if 99% of citizens think it is correct, it continues to be wrong.
Perhaps my sarcasm was over the top. The freak light is gone, btw. Having been in the same spot as you I do understand your reaction although perhaps mine would have been different. Perhaps another time then.
Talking coherently should not be conditioned upon the accusations the person you are talking with is making. Anyway, I only made the accusation in my first message to you and not repeated it since - however your tone has been unacceptable throughout our conversation.
I do apologise for saying you are pirating movies but, to be frank, a discussion with someone who finds it easier to make insulting remarks rather than relevant and thoughtful comments does not interest me. Than again, this is slashdot.
What part of my post didn't you understand? Do I need to walk you through it word-by-word?
I understood your post perfectly. Were you not advocating my not watching movies? Did I misread you, brother sir? If so, kindly walk me through it word by word.

Just not for people in his country.
That "someone" you are refering to is, along with his like-minded predecessors, the root of the problem.
Yes, I believe you can. It is called "ignorance". Thank you for your time.
Beg your pardon there, kind sir, but have you actually set foot on French soil?
You must be new here.
Yes, I'm pretty sure that Microsoft and Sony get their marketing information through "leaks" in Slashdot.
You have to pay for Mozilla? Are you sure you are not a little bit confused?

Surely, you jest.

Oh, of course, this is slashdot, my mistake.

And how exactly is this relevant to the subject at hand? Answer: it is not.

I find your suggestion intriguing. Have you considered psychanalysis?
Have you considered Prozac?

You are, of course, correct.
I understood your post perfectly. Were you not advocating my not watching movies? Did I misread you, brother sir? If so, kindly walk me through it word by word.
Holy shit you are a crybaby.
Sarcasm is wasted on the likes of you.
Your viewpoint is shallow, unfounded, simplistic, reactionary, non-sequitur, irrational, insulting and, ultimately, wrong.
