Stephen Galton, you are a wimp. You can't handle people insulting you over THE INTERNET? It's a fact of life out here. People take out there anger on each other, rant and rave with no real purpose. very little of it is personal, until you do some kind of stunt like this. You better sue slashdot too, now, to delete the posts calling you the SCO look-alike you really are. Seriously, I know I'm trolling here, but can't you handle being called a shyster?
Stephen Galton is a big shyster. What now, high and mightly lawyer? Going to try and buy out some mod points? Litigate away the simple truth that you can't handle some 12 year old mocking you? Now you've got intelligent folks mocking you too? Good decision.
In response to the claims, a ship known as the "B Ark" will depart from Earth later this week to claim a portion of space for their own. The B Ark will be loaded with lawyers to ensure their claims are made legal.
Soldat is quite the game for when you are stuck on a low end computer. It never ran quite right on my laptop, which is another story, but even on dial up you can play a 8 player deathmatch. It works okay over the network, for me at least.
Now i listed other items for vince also. Laptops that he bought from the street and gold coins that i found out were fake. Yes thats right he asked me to list them gold coins and then after some paid i found out they were fake by taking one to a local jewlery shop. So one of the victims that never got there gold coins now knows why they didnt get it. I wasnt sending fake coins out to people and told vince this so i didnt send them and told vince he had to refund the person who paid. He never did give me the refund money to send to that person who i know and now im stuck with this on my name. A few things i listed he never cam thru with and im stuck with the bill. He's a low life creep and im not hiding nothing for him no more.
Poor guy... This Vince charcter sounds like a real jerk. They should put him away for a long time, he's a career criminal who probably will never reform. He knows what he is doing, tring to spread the blame around to someone who is either fictional or not related, most likely, and now it's catching up with him. About time someone dealt with theses internet scams, but I'd rather see the government get a bunch of them at once.
It's all a clever scheme to force everyone back to the front page, I think, so the editors can get 'back' to reading the stories to check for dupes.
Seriously, these are bad. I could handle games, BSD, and now this tan thing. Ow.
At least it's not the purple/yellow apache, right?
Just keep it green, eh slashdot? You had it right with the apple theme. YRO isn't bad, but tan gradient? No.
Let's see now, if someone saves "the best" of every football game he watches onto a TiVo, imports them to his computer and makes a neato keen iMovie about "the best of $team", said person will not purchase a hollywood produced best of $team DVD. This is a loss of profit to the NFL, so of course they will try and find some way to stop them from doing it, or at least delay them another profit filled year.
It doesn't matter what merit the lawsuit has, they just need to get TiVo to delay or stop this whole concept, and they won't stop suing until they do.
This is exactly why I like TiVo's new concept, though, because of the fact you never even consider getting a best of DVD ever again, you can make your own. Which is exactly why the big media companies are trying to stop them, cause it means less profit.
hey, you may want to grabe the wtf program
http://www.mu.org/~mux/wtf/
its got quite the database of internet acronyms you will see on slashdot.
someone already told you what FUD is, but wtf knows it too.
Thats part of it, which I didn't know, but also the fact an ambulance can legally run red lights, ride the shoulder, even go into opposing traffic if need be, may help save your life. Thanks for the info, though.

But you apparently didn't call 911 during the hurricane. When was the last time you called 911 for a true emergency: "endangered life or crime in progress"? If you're like the majority of people... never or a long time ago
I think the 911 people had a clue the hurricane was in the area already. If something had happened to his house, then he could have called 911.
Calling 911 doesn't stop a person from dying
Doesn't it, though? If there is an accident and you are losing blood, a transfusion within 5-15 minutes from an ambulance may well keep you alive, a lot more likely then waiting for someone else, who can't bypass traffic with sirens and such, taking 20 - 30 minutes for medical attention. 911 isn't a perfect service, but saying it can never stop a person from dying is a shortsighted statement, ask some car crash victims if you don't believe me.
Along with the fully compatable line of several hundred GB and GBC games. That's the power of having near 100% marketshare due to lack of competition. That is a huge advantage for every backwards compatable GameBoy system, no matter how few new games it has at launch. You can buy GB / GBC games which are still entertaining for 10 bucks off ebay or a used game store. Used PSP games will run 40 at best for months after launch, while the DS has a million games, including late GBA titles.
You don't have the God given right to read information in the pioneer press other site. YOu can go to the library and read one of the copies there, or you can pay for the convience of havibng home delivery. I may not like cookies, and I'd rather they weren't there in the first place, but if they want to set them, and you can't be bothered to reject them, (really easy in firefox) that's your problem.
In the end, if you don't like it, you don't have to read it, I guess. I find them to be a suitable paper, (OT: Joe Sourchary (sp?) has never, ever been wrong.) and thus I will view thier ads at least once before adblocking.
As a rule I do not read any newspaper online that I have to register for. In fact, I refuse to purchase the Star Tribune or Pioneer Press here in Minnesota because of their policy requiring user registration. Fake accounts be dammed, you want me to read your paper and have to look through your ads you will let me do so without a cookie linked to information, fake or otherwise.
Umm... You've obviously registered on slashdot, thus accepting a cookie which remains for a very long time. Slashdot has ads to help pay the bandwith bills, or if you don't like ads you have to pay.
You can post AC, and then your blatent hypocrisy is removed. But no, you willingly allow cookies and ads to read it here, even post comments to better the site, potentially drawing more people to view the ads. Why, then, can't other news outlets, those who do a whole lot more investigative reporting than slashdots link policy, display ads and have cookies?
You know, for some reason, I feel bad for the IE Developers, who are probably a bunch of well meaning people that are hampered by upper-management decisions.
There aren't any. I talked to this guywho is going to work for the dark side thise fall, and there is no Active improvment at this time. Work starts now, with any luck it will be done in 4 years for longhorn.
Only on slashdot is a 72 percent marketshare only. Users are stupid. That's why we call them lusers. IE6 is the default, therefore it will remain around a while.
Sidenote: First post from my wonderul new linux desktop. w00t.
Steal this anddie a lingering death, but check my entry:
I confess it freely, these days. I didn't write the whole GNU of linux. To be honest, even the / wasn't really my idea, though I did write the POSIX standard that prevented it from being Linux/GNU. That's another story.
I started Linux in 1979, in my college days. My initial goal was to make a system that would allow multiple users from several colleges to 'collaberate' on term papers in a way that any other comuputer literate person would understand. Nothing at the time had the uptime to stay up for college students in multiple timezones to 'share' data. Upon completion, I found myself having the added benefit of additional free time, so I began to add features. First, additional hardware support for additional servers, in case the dean ever caught on.
Upon graduation, I had the initial kernel made, capable of network transmission and good uptime. The real work came after graduation. I had to work hard to stay focused, now that my need for term papers was zero. I was living wherever I could, so I offered them my computer operating system as payment. It was then I realised that only by working together could humanity acheive it's true goals, so I decided to add a new liscense to my software.
Living with other geeks, improving the software, I drifted for years, never having a place to call home. Various nonsense features were added in this time, like fortune, banner, and a little nowhere program called BSD, which was just a joke between me and a couple of guys at a bar. We wrote it on a few napkins, and threw them at the guy at a table. Appaently he kept them for later.
So, eventually I setled down, and decided to get a real job. I worked for Caldera for a while, using tricks I had learned from linux for their projects. I worked there for 2 years, staying late to use the mainframe to compile new programs. However, the boss caught me 'stealing company code' and fired me on the spot.
I finally got sick of the project, opened it up for public contributions, and hit the pub. For two years, I worked where I could, did whatever struck me as a good idea, got religion, lost religion, the whole works. I finally came to my senses after crushing my car into a tree, and then backing out and rolling down a hill. I made my way back home to find people had actually done something to my Linux! It was known as Linux/GNU now, but I felt I didn't really deserve top billing anymore, so I changed the name to GNU/Linux, but that never stuck. Most people just drop the GNU now, but I leave it there as a testament to those who caried my cause when I was to sick to do it.
From there on it out it's not much of a story, I bought a house, cleaned up my act, worked on Linux when I could, met the girl of my dreams, and seen what can happen if people work together towards a common goal.
If you really want to go biblical, lets make male masturbation a felony.
And where, o master of biblical texts, does it say masturbation is a crime in as many words as abortion = murder. They didn't have abortion back then, so why would they forbid it?
It doesn't. No where in the Bible does it specifically state masturbation is sinful. Social traditions might, but not the Bible itself
Seriously, I go up to this small town in Minnesota (Crosby) Where all the local bussinesses chip in for the best fireworks ever. They shoot them over a lake, they explode, and it rains smoke and ash down on the boats watching. If the wind is blowing in, debris rains down on the crowd. I've got a semi-spherical piece of cardboard from a few years back. The danger of fireworks is half the fun, though I doubt they have the budget to get these any soon.
Appropriate signoff for your fast food philosophy. You know nothing about life. You choose flings over marriage? You will die a bitter death. You will never know love.
Spot the loving and caring Christian.
For sure, sometimes the biggest hiderance to Christians are other Christians. A good number of Christians are good people, but the horrible things people do in the name of God (Crusades, possibly Iraq War) are terrible. I've nothing against Christians, being one myself, but the Christains are all too human as well.
Anyone remember the Doomesque Noah's Ark game for SNES? I heard rumors of it's existance, along with some screenshots, but I never played it.
One reason you can't reall make a video game out of biblical events is that the end is set in stone already. If you change details, to make it a better game, you will be blasphmous or some such. I'd like to see a good solid shooter without gobs of blood. Maybe a paintball/airsoft kind of thing. If it's well made, a game is a game is a game, and I won't buy or not buy it based on religion alone.
Hey, if 2D shooters are your thing, you really should check out soldat It's a 2D deathmatch/CTF, with realistic weapons and tribes style jetpacking. Netplay included, or play with tolerable bots. It even has the famous QUAD DAMAGE, along with lame camper rifle.
Was that just a characteristic of my dorm, or the geek cultrue as a whole? I'll get you with a SPAS or I'll go shoot my 20-Gauge with you. Either one is a good time. All my fellow geeks have no fear of guns, at least none I see. I built a small cannon like thing out of PVC pipe, and every geek I know thinks it's teh l33test.
