If you can get to the internet, you can get to whatever you want. Just set up your own Squid proxy at home, get at it over SSH (tunneled via HTTP if you must...), et voila. Freedom from the self-appointed corporate mommies.
If he starts bitching about a game, I know people who will rush out to buy it.
1. Make egregiously violent and sexual game 2. Anonymously send it to Jack Thompson, making sure he has all the information to identify it publicly 3. Wait for him to squawk about it 4. Wait for hype to set in 5. Release game 6. Profit!
I heard of this some time ago, in the context of increasing stamina of athletes (and it wasn't a glove then, but a mini-chamber). But it occurred to me -- as someone who has trouble losing fat -- that this energy-remover might be worn for extended periods to remove a lot of calories from one's core, thus prompting the body to produce more heat, thus using more energy reserves, which is to say, fat.
Sell this on the open market as "the fat-burning pod" or something at $125 a pop and watch the cash roll in...
I think he would have preferred you being less of a fuckstick and contributing something worthwhile.
Ah, I see. As your illustrious example so profoundly demonstrates, my mere point about mastery of the English language being vital to any professional career pales in comparison to your hyper-creative use of both the term "fuckstick" and the "post anonymously" checkbox.
Thank you, Anonymous Coward, for helping us see the light.
I don't get why they don't coat that foam in some kind of plastic. Like a thick saran-wrap or something. Wouldn't that prevent 99% of these break-offs?
Knowing what I know now, i would have definitely applied for a games company or similar. Two of the people from my graduating class (a total of 10 computer scientists) went to work for EA (what exactly they do their, i have no idea). In any case, i've been noticing that those with more liberal computer backgrounds tend to get picked up sooner and by more interesting companies.
No offense, but I think you should have concentrated a bit more on liberal arts before college entirely -- say, high-school English.
P.S. Thanks, Slashdot, for the lame stylesheet entry for blockquote. Can't italicize, color is faded so even bold is ineffective...neato.
And how do they know whether you are being payed, dipsh*t? Do you understand that they can come arrest you for lobbying in order to determine if you are being payed and have registered?
If they find out you had sex, can they come and arrest you for prostitution in order to determine if you are being paid (or "payed", if you prefer)?
If a judge rules in favor of a litigant, can they come and arrest the judge in order to determine if he took bribe money from said litigant?
If a store owner holds a promotional raffle, can they come and arrest her in order to determine if she charged for any of the tickets?
There are plenty of activities it is perfectly legal to do as long as you don't charge money for it, but become illegal the minute you charge. I'd say lobbying while claiming to be merely an earnest citizen is a perfectly reasonable thing to fall into that category.
I used to have a subscription to some sort of home theater magazine. Their review ratings -- and I am not making this up -- were "on a scale from 75 to 99".
The New York Times (not exactly known to have a major conservative slant) doesn't bash Bush so instead the/. article has to insert in a completely unsupported accusation?
Now it may well be that liberals simply don't watch enough TV for anyone to care about their demographic, or maybe the controversial stances of conservatives/ultra-conservatives just make for more dramatic television, but whatever the reason, there has been a clear and steady march to the right among domestic US news stations and shows ever since the debut of FOX "News".
What has happened is that constant repetition of the "liberal media" mantra by the right has caused the news networks to be hypersensitive to such accusations, and as a result, all of them bend over backward to avoid any appearance of bias toward liberality. We have now gotten to the stage where no one is allowed to point out that the emperor has no clothes for fear of being "outed" as biased toward those who like to wear clothing.

No "???" here...
All seriousness aside...

Phase 1: Internet is cool western hi-tech, yes? We get! Is nice! We are, how you say, advance-ed!
Phase 2: Internet is letting Jews do their Jew things more. Must stop this! How we do that? Oh? Wawawewa! Thank you, China!
I can give you all the attosecond pulses of light you want -- as long as they're all ones.

According to this article, the movie was singled out as a reason for Dreamworks' improved performance in 2006.
A double-pole, double-throw timer switch.

WRONG. Read the posts above -- you'd only be in trouble if someone's paying you to get on Slashdot and advocate. Astroturfing, in other words.
