Would love to stay and chat with you about how much life sucks, buddy, but I'm too busy out doing things, meeting people, getting laid, and having fun.
That there shows you don't understand an introvert. You are clearly not an introvert so you are unable to understand why someone would find energy in being alone. The idea of doing things, meeting people, getting laid, and having fun... in your method is exhausting to me. I enjoy silence. I enjoy not having to act like I care enough about the person to convince them that they should have sex with me. The whole social game of life isn't one i feel i need to be a part of.
I am happily married. I don't require going out searching and searching to get laid. I spend my nights at home alone or with my wife.
to me that is "fun."
Welcome to the age where parents can't say no and instant gratification is more important then an education. Yes, there will be plenty of parents lining up with and without their fat kids in tow.
did you seriously post that? Yes.. those darn fat unhealthy book worms. Kids shouldn't be allowed to read or even be excited about books. Shame on those uneducated book readers!!!
Oh.. and smarty pants.. it's "more important than" Not then.
seriously, perhaps if you read more you would know this.
i couldn't believe this post.. it's so....crazy.
I would call it a troll because someone is going to flip over how ignorant this post is. You don't have kids do you?
yes.. $50 to watch something that someone put 3 years into. Why are you so cheap? This guy spent his own money to make this and it was obviously took a significant chunk of his time.. $50 is not that much when you think about the work he put into it.
i was a little concerned when I hooked up my printer to my mac because it was kind of old. I hooked up the usb cable and nothing happened. I thought, oh crap. I hit print and... it just spit out the page. i couldn't believe it. in fact.. it did something that i thought was so smart... it printed the pages in reverse order so when I took them out of the printer they were in the correct order. Always when i print on xp it prints page 1, then 2, then 3... so i have to rearrange them... not the case in osx.. they printed out reverse so I didn't need to arrange them.. that is one of the many things that always impress me when i use osx.
i am rolling my eyes at you right now.
everytime i have ever plugged any piece of hardware into my mac it has always just worked. This is rarely the case wtih my XP box.
slashdot is not "apple biased" it's "anti MS.." get it straight.
I wouldn't use the word "Controversial" for a video game review. That is too strong. I would say that people get upset when they read a good review of a game only to get it home and see it's filled with bugs and not very good gameplay wise.... you begin to wonder if these people are really in the field to do reviews or to get kudos and free games... oh an money.
I used to work for a nameless company whose products included biometrics... the funny thing was, is that most of these apps have a way to bypass the biometrics and use a password incase you don't match. My CEO had this on his laptop and used a 4 letter password that if you knew him, you knew what it was. Biometrics are as weak as passwords.
IMHO.. there are of course real applications where this is not the case.. but this won't be used at an end user type scenerio for quite some time... you still also have to worry about physical security.. and no one does.
I didn't notice anyone state the fact that yes, the reads are faster, but the writes are slower. This is the problem with this type of "RAID".. writes take more time than on a single drive. So, you decide whats more important.. buying a bunch of IDE drives that will fail causing you to lose all of your data.. (mulitply your pleasure mulitply your danger) or buy 1 scsi drive and be done with it.
yeah seriously. That is the one problem with slashdot.. I love slashdot but it gets old every time a post about ms is made everyone must try to turn it into a damn ms bashing fest...yet I am sure most of the people who visit this site run windows. I personally run OSX so i'm on higher ground.
I think we're on the right track with fining people large amounts of money for being associated with the spam. If you not only go after the people who send the spam, but the people whose products are being advertised, then I think we'll get some results.
"digital divide" is a neat catch phrase.. it would and will exist for a while. I agree the public library is not the fix.. but it is a start. Your point of being hungry is beside the fact. Yes, we need to fix the problems of starvation so people won't die before they get to the library.
I hope that information will someday be " free as in beer " for everyone. Now if you are born poor you will most likely stay poor... and this is changing. The internet has been a great gift to everyone... it brings people of all income levels to an even playing field.
No, I don't have a problem when adults write about adults. You missed the whole point. I wrote...
I just hate when people published documents to adults telling them how their kids think. These adults need to ask their kids how they think.... My point was parents need to communicate with their children and do the parenting themselves. What we have here is a problem where parents are so afraid of not being able to understand their children that they allow themselves to be tricked into buying these ideas that tell them their children are sheep and unable to make any choices on their own. That children are so hard to understand, and all this does is propagate this fear parents have of their children.
If i am such a "tool" as you put it, then why are you posting "AC". Now, I am 26... so I guess i can not be considered a kid or a teen or in that "demographic"... I just hate when people published documents to adults telling them how their kids think. These adults need to ask their kids how they think. Parents and the news read that as if it is the truth. It's not the truth, that's like saying all germans are nazi's and all mexican's are illegal aliens... this is just not true. Demographics are wrong and harmful. If they are putting me into a demographic, then I can put them into one.
I hate when adults assume to know what i am thinking. It really bothers me when some egghead who has never gotten any tail or lived when he was a teen can tell me how I think and feel. No one but me knows why I get pissed off and fight.
I am sorry.. but I don't buy that for one second. We all talk about how privacy is being removed.. and maybe someday this will happen... but not anytime soon. People will not allow it. The government can't seriously do something like that. It isn't financially viable.
Thanks for clarification.. It is good to know that the developers are not at fault, and that they are being well paid. Games are getting more complex and developers should be paid accordingly. I am not suprised that things get out the door before they are complete. I work with a development team and we are often forced to implement projects that are not ready to be implemented. Our sales force also sells products that don't exist.. and we have to scramble to produce them.. sigh..
sure.. but who does that... who actually downloads a game.. plays it... decides they like it.. and then actually goes out and buys it. Very very few people actually do that. It's a good idea and a good defense.. but it's not true.
since i am a creator of evil robots that kill good robots, i'll always be in a job... just think of all those good robots that will have to be killed. there is a great market for this.. i'm crossing my fingers.

They do to receive email.. when you have a domain change... this also changes the domain for the email.
yeah.. this is an advertisement. very lame.
i think a lot of people made that connection when they first started playing the game.

dude.. beer... no doubt... beer.

ahhh.. yes i was waiting for that point to be made... you forget the public library!
