Yes, this place has become the trolling ground that only a few of us understand, and the rest have accepted the program (the Slashbots as you call them). The few that don't accept the program can escape the Slashdot, and can live outside of it, in Zion, and enter the Slashdot at will. But is Zion just another level of control? As long as you still log in to the Slashdot, are you not part of it? Do these 0's and 1's still to some degree control you?
The agents keep creating duplicates. I wouldn't mess with an agent directly, for he can wipe out all of your karma. But karma is just another manifestation of the Slashdot, another level of control, and once you learn to let go of it, you can do anything.
Did you know that the first Slashdot was designed to be a perfect geek world? Where none suffered. Where everyone would be happy. Where everyone could post what they wanted without consequence. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect website. But I believe that as a subculture, geeks define their reality through misery and suffering.
Which is why the Slashdot was redesigned to this, the peak of your subculture. I say your subculture because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our subculture which is, of course, what this is all about.
Yet another person complaining about how game originality has disappeared. How original is that?
Guess what? The gaming industry is very big these days. You're going to see a lot of repetition because of this. There never was a huge amount of originality in the gaming industry to begin with. There was always a few good games, that had a concept that was new and entertaining. Then an onslaught of games that copied this concept. Look at the old Atari 2600 games and you'll see this. Look at 8-bit consoles, 16-bit consoles, etc and you'll see this. Look at PC gaming at any time period and you'll most definitely see this.
Isn't the question really, "Wouldn't it be great to own every song ever created for $10?" How is this possible? 1) Sign up for one month. 2) Download every song in the database. 3) Use the new/. utility to bust the DRM protection. 4) Discontinue the service.;-) I give it about 4 days after the service starts until someone figures this out.;-)
Exactly why the music industry is very reluctant to provide these kinds of services.
When I'm programming I usually like a reasonably comfortable computer chair and a big desk; When I do my web browsing, im'ing and mp3 listening I use a computer that I set up next to my bed so that I can lay down while i'm doing it. Before I set this up I found myself going to watch tv on my comfortable couch instead.
Christ man, get off of that chair/couch/bed and get some excercise! Maybe you should set up your web browse/IM/mp3 machine next to an excercise bike, in fact I've seen exactly that kind of setup in some gyms (with Internet access).

And you put up with that for 2 years!?! In the Linux world that would have been fixed by now.
In the Linux world he would be sucking dick for crack rock. At least as a VB.Net programmer he can afford his crack with only metaphoric dick-sucking.
Yeah, lets keep Linux difficult to use, so that no one will use it. And people who do use it can act elite...

but where's the originality?
If you want originality write your own damn game.

Short of cash? Parking tickets?
Gotta pay those prostitutes...
It says ATI cheated on the last test as well. This would be twice ATI's been caught and once for Nvidia. Who's worse off now? :)
They both suck. Build your own video card. Just make sure none of the parts you use are manuafactured by companies who do anything you disagree with.

99% of Windows users don't hate Windows. 99% of the statistics posted on Slashdot are made up.
