my two cents. sephiroth always seemed, to me, that he didn't care about doing evil. he was passive. it was like fighting an robot. kefka, on the other hand, ENJOYED what he was doing. he did evil because it made him feel good, not sephiroth's evil just because it's something to do. style over substance. evil, but very very shallow.
Tempest evidentally had an option for a Two-Game minimum(it's mentioned at the bottom). Interesting "feature". It would be neat to see the history of a credit. When did it become acceptable to have $.50 games. Some games now cost more than a dollar. How common was the two-game minimum? Being 6 in 83, I don't remember it all that much;-)
anyone ever compiled this sort of thing? would anyone other than me care?
because they have my blessing. Yes, I, the current incarnation of Jesus, fully advocate file sharing utilities. it is not for you to own, but for you to share with your fellow man. If you buy a cd, it is your obligation to share the.mp3s such that I might decide if I also wish to buy that cd. Sharing is devine, trust me, I would know. Ditto (yes, christ says ditto. Have a problem with that? heathen.) software and pornography.
Now, I know that last statment might have set a few of you off. But hear me out. The CHURCH is against pornography, not me. I hung out with a whore on my first go-around, for My sake. Sex is pretty okay, if you ask me, and I understand that you are not full of Devine Grace, such as myself, and cannot readily get a date with whom you choose. And like the true son of god, I forgive you for that. So thus I have provided pornography and lubricants, such that you might be satisfied until that time when you might "socialize" again.
Do not berate your fellow man, if he chooses his own loving over the loving of others, for there is wisdom to be found therein. But lose respect for the man who does not share his pornography, his music and his software. This is my word.
heck I wanna know when the Beastie Boys sample The Beatles and be notified and give the option to follow up on the samples within the songs. As someone who routinely beats samples into a whir of unrecognizable sound, and would prefer not to pay any "sample clearance fees" whenver I sample anything. You want a rights issue, TacoBoy? You are NOT free to sample anything you want to. Maybe you might want to read what negativland has to say about Intellectual Property.
Background: At the computer labs in the school I went to, they kept a tight hold on those mice. You had to give them your ID, and they returned it when you returned the mouse. Apparently they had a rash of thefts. To which I say, they ARE nifty toys;-) Oh, and the help desk people used to come to me for any Sun questions. What the hell made them think I knew anything?!!?? Of course I did, but that's irrelevant.
me: this mouse you gave me doesn't work. "help" desk: did you try cleaning it? me: I wiped it off, yeah, and I wiped off the mouse pad. still nothing. hd: did you clean the ball? me: there is no mouse ball. hd: well, that's the problem then. it needs a ball. me: no it doesn't. it's optical. hd: where did you get that? me: from you. less than a minute ago. hd: oh, it must be broke. me: okay then. Can I have a new one? hd: no. me: why not?!?! hd: you broke it. me: I didn't have a CHANCE to break it. I just got it. hd: then why didn't the person before you say it was broken? me:Because they broke it hd: I don't believe you. me: Fine. You don't have to. Just give me my id back. hd: I can't do that. me:(growling) and why not? hd: Because you broke it.
ZikZak you dumbfuck. It's your life. As you know, the Tribunal meets tomorrow at noon. You're welcome to make a formal appology and suffer only trivial consequenses. However, if you persist in this foolishness, you're not going to wake up on Saturday, dig? You know the deal.
For those of you not in (and unlike what this bastard would have you believe, we do take resumes), this is not the first bit of crap this insolent twat has tried to pin on me. Remember the/. dDoS hits from a couple months back?
I'd like the general public to know this cumguzzling gutter whore deserves every bit that he's going to get.
Listen, the three of us might have power, but you signed the fucking contract, dumbass. The rules were STRICTLY outlined, and you DID have a copy of it, so don't give me any of that lack of communication bullshit. If you had a problem, you were more than welcome to bring it up at one of the meetings. But you didn't. You just sat there, with your smug "i'm going to troll the trolls" look, let me tell you, it's not going to work here, bucko. Maybe you weren't around when we voted on head, but why the hell do you think there's three? And why do you think we vote on it every 8 months? You couldn't WAIT, could you? You couldn't be patient and wait for due course of action like anyone else. And I'm glad you have your fucking penis birds on your side, just remember anyone who stands with you, is going to go down with you, capiche? Why don't you tell your little cronies what happened to slashdot-terminal?
Listen up Zik, cause I'm only going to say it once. Your actions are FAR beyond repair as it is, do NOT go making it worse for yourself by whining about it. I have the fucking logs, and whose IP do you THINK is on them? No, you don't have to think about it, DO YOU? We've put up with your shit long enough, and don't say we weren't open minded and didn't give you a chance. You were FAIRLY tried before the tribunal, and had PLENTY of time to put up a defense then. But you didn't. You said you accepted the judgement, and what do you do, YOU GO AROUND BITCHING ABOUT IT. You know the consequenses for such childish behaviour. The Troll Collective will not, should not, and CAN NOT let such foolishness continue. You have four days to submit your apology before the tribunal, or consider your "resignation".
So you've just installed your favorite flavour of linux on your home box (as opposed to your home box office. That would be a much more impressive feat, and will give a special prize which is not an angry weasel to whoever can do it first), figured out all the ins and outs, worked some ppp magic, and are ready to tackle the rest of the world! Best make sure the world won't tackle you back! Now, I know you're thinking "why would a cracker or skript kiddie attack me? what do I have?" Security is just for NetAdmins and big corporations, right? Wrong-o, buddy. You have many things that are just what a potential vandal might want, be they software bits, personal information (/. login cookies, for example), or just distributed processor power for the next big dDoS attack. So it'd be a good idea to keep the baddies out, right? I'll admit, I didn't start the guru that I am. I've been attacked, and one time, actually cracked. And I didn't know it for weeks. The malicious bit of code sat running a process on my desktop, and I didn't even think to question it, as that this whole enuichs thing was pretty new to me. But eventually, as I came to learn more, I saw what happened, and how they got in. Silly me, I didn't think to shut off access to port 647284a-3. As you're by now well aware, that's the port that listens for transmissions from the Daemon Quarlakath. Not really an issue most of the time, as that in order to summon Quarlakath, the attacker needs to slaughter the third born black goat under a Summer Moon. So, like linux security, you get one shot, and one shot only! You also need to chant several passages from the book of Lizzaft, in the original Tongue That Cannot Be Spoken. Last I checked they weren't giving classes in Tongue That Cannot Be Spoken in your averate Community College! So I didn't bother with port 647284a-3. No big deal, I thought, that'll NEVER happen. And of course, it did. Once I understood what happened, I had to get that malicious daemon OUT of my system before it started a dDoS or slaughtering first born children or giving me a charley horse. So I did what any fledgeling Systems person would do, I summoned Taccatha, the Warrior Angel and sworn enemy of Quarlakath. And lo, the battle inside my box raged on for three weeks. When it was finished, Taccatha was victorious, and Quarlakath was banished to the Sulpher pits of Analorp from whence he came. But, of course, I had to pay Taccatha tribute for his service, and I'm still washing the blood of The Thousand Serpents off my walls. For such little things you'd never guess that they'd bleed so much.
The flaming weasels come from deep in the bowels of the earth. They aren't born flaming weasels, no, they are made that way. First the person wishing to control the flaming weasel must go out into the wilderness and capture a weasel. Some people have been known to breed weasels for this purpose, but they cannot match the ferocity of a wild weasel. The captured weasels must be taken to a Gateway which leads to the center of the earth. They're not as uncommon as you might imagine, and usually found near large chain department stores. Give the weasel to the person at the desk on level 533 (the floors are labeled counting down. Don't worry though, there is an elevator, and it only breaks once every 3 weeks), and they'll do the rest.
The weasels are then brought the rest of the way to the center of the earth, beneath the molton "core", which everyone knows was constructed in 1856 to draw attention away from the Masters Of The Earth. Oddly enough, the Masters Of The Earth care little for what actually goes on topside, so they'll work for pretty much anyone. The igniting of weasel warriors is only one of their many services. You might want to call for a catalogue.
After 14 weeks of re-programming, not dissimilar to many of the world's major religions, the weasel will no longer be able to speak anything other than your name (or your dog's name, if you wish your dog to be in control of the weasel. This is advisable for high profile Evil Overlords). An additional three weeks of combat training follow, where the weasel learns a variety of techniques and strategies to become more effective in the field. All this time, they have been bathing them in rubbing alcohol and feeding them charcoal briquettes. At the end of combat training, they are given a cigarette and a pack of matches, and after the first attept to smoke them, they become flaming weasels. The fire will last for approximately 4 years, after which, you might want to consider a new weasel anyway. During that time you will find your weasel is an infallable assasin, and nearly as good in open combat.
so there are new dvd players on the market. Okay, that's all well and good, but that doesn't solve the problem we're having with the movie industry in the first place. Hack the players all you want, the industry will always have one weapon which well could not hope to combat.
Flaming Weasels
Yeah. You read that right. Flaming weasels. Now, you might just dismiss this as some sort of delusion, but I ask you, have you ever been attacked by flaming weasels? If you have, you realize this is no joke. There is no hiding from flaming weasels. No escaping. Once the weasels have been sent, there is no turning back, and you may as well just disclose your proprietary closed-source sock drawer, because the weasels must be appeassed.
And here we are talking about new players which are going to break down in a couple months, but tell me, does that make the threat of weasels any less real? And who do you think the armies of flaming weasels are going to be sent to first, Joe Compliant who buys his standards-compliant dvd player, shops at wal-mart and votes democratic? Of course not, he's part of the Master Plan(tm). The weasels are going to be sent to "take care" of the deviants, the people who watch foreign films, the people who disable life saving features in their dvd player, the people who want to remake the world in their own way, not the time-warner-dvdcca-ms-mcdisney way. And the weasels will continue to attack until you or I or SOMEONE does something about it.
There is one hope. There is one possible salvation, one glimmer of light in the dark night of the weasel, though not too dark, as that they're on fire, and fire does make a little bit of light yanno. The weasels aren't exactly subtle. You're going to know they're coming, which in a way, is much worse. We only have one chance to defeat this scourge and take back the rights that we have so willingly sacrificed.
...why didn't you ask? Just a thought. Oh, and ask any of the regulars, I very rarely troll in the tradtional sense. That one thar'd be a real comment.
so wait, if someone thinks a comment is a troll, did you troll them by their mistake? Or are they trolling you when you have to explain? God, I'm so lost. I should just stick to talking about something I know. Like cartoon monkeys and genocide. When you do, I'll have you but the question remains, do you REALLY want us?
okay, fine, no quicktime clips because you can't see them in linux. So you could say that you are protesting apple's decision to not support your operating system of choice. That's fine, and I respect that.
However, there are those of us who dual boot (or more. Been playing with BSD lately myself), and that's fine that you don't want to share the info you hear. It's your site. But I can't watch this. Oh, I could download the Real player and watch it. I refuse to support Real Networks. You remember that thing a few months ago where RealJukebox was scanning hard drives then reporting back the motherbase? I certainly do. And that, among other reasons is why I don't have anything by Real Networks on my computer.
Yeah, they made an opt out. And they appologized. But quite frankly, it's not about our personal privacy. It's about the privacy of those who DON'T live their lives paying attention to every little byte that flows across their computer's circuits. We're GOING to find out about this and opt out. However, Joe Windows down the street isn't. So they appease the geek community, while still taking the average user for a ride. Do you appreciate that? What if it was your mother?
To me, it's not about Free Software (open source, whatver) versus proprietary. It's about infringing software versus non-infringing software. And this doesn't need to be your fight (though you preach it more often than I do), but you bitch about quicktime, I'm going to bitch about Real. We've both said our peace, and everything is okay, right? Thought so:-)
my last girlfriend was pretty geeky. Most of my friends are girls, and very geeky. Well, I think that has some sort of bearing on that you HAVE to be a geek in order to spend more than five minutes with me:-)
Anyway, I've known just as many geeks who were female as male. Just because a girl doesn't talk about Star Trek or whatever doesn't mean she doesn't like computers, or isn't good with them. I think if you're going to just go from initial impressions, yeah, you're going to find that guys are alot "geekier" than girls. But I find there really isn't too much of a gender split, except on the most shallow levels. Even that is overgeneralization, as that I've known girls who WERE the stereotype.
I guess what I'm trying to say (albeit poorly) is that if we're GOING to make over generalized statements like this, we need to define what makes a "geek" versus "non-geek". Personally, I define it as "devotion regardless of popular opinion". If someone does computers because they think it's the cool thing to do, then they're not a geek. If someone loves obscure movies not because they're obscure, but because they do regardless of what anyone thinks(good or bad), then they're a geek.
As for the article, consider the source:-) And yes, the last relationship failed miserably due to my poor social skills. However, if any girls out there are Nurse With Wound fans . . .:-)
that she turned down the Ice Storm. That was a BRILLIANT film. Would have been interesting to see her in it, not that I have ANY complaints with the movie as is . . .
Slashdot Mirror
my two cents. sephiroth always seemed, to me, that he didn't care about doing evil. he was passive. it was like fighting an robot. kefka, on the other hand, ENJOYED what he was doing. he did evil because it made him feel good, not sephiroth's evil just because it's something to do. style over substance. evil, but very very shallow.
Bad things often happen to good people,
Tempest evidentally had an option for a Two-Game minimum(it's mentioned at the bottom). Interesting "feature". It would be neat to see the history of a credit.

anyone ever compiled this sort of thing? would anyone other than me care?
you know, I don't want to hear about the "experiences with palms" that people WILL post.
no need. I'm a humble son of god. No reason to think I'm better than most of creation just because I AM, silly.
because they have my blessing. Yes, I, the current incarnation of Jesus, fully advocate file sharing utilities. it is not for you to own, but for you to share with your fellow man.

but the question remains, do you REALLY want us?
'sokay, I'll try not to get too upset at you calling me a spammer ;-)
yeah, I occasionally have flashbacks myself. I never went to the war, but I saw the movie. Twice.

Personally, I define it as "devotion regardless of popular opinion". If someone does computers because they think it's the cool thing to do, then they're not a geek. If someone loves obscure movies not because they're obscure, but because they do regardless of what anyone thinks(good or bad), then they're a geek.
