Yeah, but if it's reconstituted from component atoms, how would you be able to tell if it was being made from garbage, 100% all-natural organic produce, or the bodies of sacrificial virgins?
you just wouldn't know!

Review: Half-Life 2
·
· Score: 3, Informative
You might be a BIT lost in terms of where you-as-main-character got involved in all this, but they acutally run through a bunch of the backstory in the first parts of the game.
Speaking as someone who played the first one, and is partly through HL2, it's gonna be a touch perplexing either way, and the focus of the story that I've experienced is really on "forget all the 'whys' and 'hows' for the moment, we have things to do here and now."
The worst part for me reading this is that I bought it on Steam, downloaded it, and I was playing (like the newspost said) at 12:15AM PST, and that only because it had to decrypt the preloaded files.
I have no pity for people who bought in the the stores, especially when you got more for your money on Steam anyway, IMHO.
Actually, he pretty much makes it clear where he wants free software to come from--other idealists like him, who also think software should be free.
So far it seems to be working out for them--they've got two seperate operating systems, maybe you've heard of them, and a freakin' large pile of tools.
Nothing here seems to indicate he's wrong about anything so far. =P
Yep, you're still the stupidest motherfucker on Slashdot.
Honest-to-fucking god, where the fuck do you think new math comes from? If you answered anything but "building atop old math", well...I'd ask you to shoot yourself, but you'd find some way to fuck it up, given your room-temperature IQ.
Okay, this is the business my father's in so I know this--average margin for a small non-chain grocery store/supermarket (and some chain stores that operate similarly, like IGA in some places in the NorthEast) is between 1% and 10% depending on the goods. It averages about 6%. And that's gross profit, not net.
Just for the record, the block is implemented (as far as I've seen with foreign proxies) as a http-level blocking, not a layer 3 blocking, so it won't have any mitigating effect on DDoS whatsoever.
Put another way, the traffic is being rejected by the webserver software itself, not the routers which are the gatekeepers.
Who's more foolish, the troll or the troll who trolls him?
Man, anytime someone says "look it up" then proceeds to use a definition that's different from the one you were urged to look up, it's a pretty clear signal it's a troll.
Unless you're blind or stupid. Like your own beautiful self. =)
Saying "You can't post this here" is not "suppression", you moron. Saying "You can't post this anywhere" is.
Additionally, I wouldn't say word one about the GNAA if you guys actually wrote something new more than once a year.
So it's not censorship I'm advocating, it's removal of inane redundancy. Congrats, you still lose.
And of course, the GNAA is still the worst trollers ever, finally passing TrollKore in sheer weight of boring-ass repeats no one reads. Although the Ghetto Diaries guy is making a strong showing, he's like the fuckin' Steven King of fart pr0n.
*laugh* You need to read up on the definition on censorship. Censorship is when you can't say it ANYWHERE, the government says so. It's not when slashdot says "For chrissake, we've read this same stupid thing 900 times in the past week, get some new material or get off our damn lawn."
Once again, I'd like to point out that the GNAA sucks. Bring on the good trolls already, y'know, the ones who are both original and funny?
If you look at Lincoln's public statements and writings, you'll know the civil war happened entirely because the cotton tariff was pretty much entirely funding the federal government, and Lincoln didn't want to let 90% of federal income go without a fight.
Hell, you can also read up on how Lincoln suspeded habeas corpus, attempted to imprison a justice who disagreed with him, encouraged war crimes and pardoned convicted war criminals, and ordered the only genocide in American history (which, thankfully, wasn't completely fully).
So arguing anything about the civil war isn't gonna help your case much when you're talking to people who actually know history.

Just because Gene Simmons can lick his own ass while playing guitar, he thinks he's qualified to comment on anything else?
Ah, college memories.
*drunken singing* "we built this city on sheep and..err...sheeep."

Honestly, if you're like me and like Valve but think VU can jump off a short pier...
Buy it on steam. It's cheaper for the best deluxe extra (HL1:Source) and as I understand it, VU sees no/little money for it.
Yep, you're still the stupidest motherfucker on Slashdot.

Leave it. Now.

For home use, sure, but this was built for Valve's traveling demo thingamabob, and given that I'm sure it'll fit right in.
Yeah, that radioactive wasteland where Harrisburg used to be is really bolstering your anti-fission argument there, chump.
Seriously, I got more dosage flying from PA to LA than the average plant worker did during the TMI Plant "meltdown".
Speaking as a Kerry supporter...
#1, The election results were statistically similar to the exit polls in Ohio and Florida.
#2, only 20 out of 88 counties in Ohio (IIRC, I may be fudgy on the exact number) used Diebold machines, the rest were punch card ballots.
Wow. You're very nearly passing stratjakt for the #1 spot on my personal list of "dumbest slashdot user".
Unless you're some kinda troll, but you're a touch too conssitent for that.

*nods* And if you have faith in Iran's leadership and in that great humanitarian/statesman Vladimir Putin, vote Bush.
Sorry, chap, two can play it.
Are you honestly unaware that Iran has spoken in favor of Bush's re-election?
I think random, short lived domain names would start clogging up the net then though for the purpose of sending spam for about 24 hours.
Speaking as a sometimes mail admin, THEY ALREADY HAVE. Seriously.
I'm still getting paid for this. And you're still a troll-biter. =P
So you keep whining, 'cause it looks like I'm the one who's going home and fucking the prom queen.
No, not realizing my post was an obvious troll was stupid. Continuing to respond is also stupid.
I'd also like to add, "HA HA, I'm getting paid for this entire thread."
Who's more foolish, the troll or the troll who trolls him?

You guys are neither. Just sayin'.
