The smart will block it, people who don't know better will tolerate it. What is the big fucking deal?
And yes, author, you are in the minority. Too bad there's not a RELEVANCE TO MY LIFE threshold.
I've seen at least one other story akin to this one. Once a few do it, they all have to do it lest their boards will bite their nails for each day their packaging doesn't feature some hip new standard. Be it 6,000,000===========D second skip protection, or some totally useless equalizer ( jazz | rock | pop | Bass Boot ).
Seriously, cool. Now I can start converting all my mp3s BACK to ogg after I realized the shit was useless for my car CD player.
Just curious. Seems like it would be a nice thing to do, although tanked websites via/.ing is kind of a joke around here, I'm sure its less funny to the webmaster, despite their flattery.
I really enjoyed Neverwinter's game engine, and found it expounded upon all others, but storyline still hasn't evolved beyond 'pick the response which you think will lead to another exchange between this character'
They throw Alignment in there, and then give you 'good' and 'evil' roles to play, which consist basically of:
Good? Offer to do everything for free, see most of the game.
Evil? Push for a bit of profit in every encounter, get shut out about a third of the time. Miss that much of the game.
You'll find me buying the expansion pack where player's choices are the axial decision in gameplay, not the plot-designer's.
Although many brush past C-Span on their oscillations through the channels, I find that during hot issues C-Span makes probably for the most interesting TV around.
Most probably do not have time to watch C-Span long enough to get a good rounded idea of who stands where on what, and must resort to condensed versions, including a few snippets, during the News or on articles online. However, all I've ever really gotten from media concerning the senate is who stands where, the why is always left out in the editing process (except maybe if the senator makes a snippable comment that flows nicely with the story).
At any rate, when the Senate returns from break I'm going to be searching C-Span for this one!
I've been getting my information from the horse's mouth lately, and its suprising how much you realize you don't know when you actually sit down and listen to lengthy discourses from all sides of a topic. One can always check out senate.gov, however I find that page pretty hard to navigate. C-Span is good, but plan to leave your night open.
With popular social memes like 'crooked politician' inundating basically everyone's political views, nobody ever really gives personally generated explanations for this, they just espouse what they've been told.
I think its a little too easy to say simply 'the MPAA are trying to seize dictatorial prerogative.' I'll hold my tongue on this one.
Wow, you had some interesting points but you have gone off of the deep end.
We have a right to purchase stock for any reason we choose to. Moreover, I do not believe that most people buy SCO stocks with the intent to tank the open source community.
Although we may be on the same side of this issue, I'm glad you're not a judge, buddy.
Hrm... evaporate their ammunitions and they may just use box-cutters.
The Iraqkrieg was interesting because I believe this was a geniune case of 'lowering the tragedy of war.' The reason? Submission, mostly. Sure, there were casualties, but the numbers seem pretty humane when I compare them to the trench warfare of a century ago. If you measure tragedy in corpses or a resulting extreme misery (thru slavery or devestation, or the like), I'd say the pinch of lowering tragedy is solved through making the enemy submit (through negotiation [eh... who has the time?] or through overwhelming force [sans against those engaged in Jihad]).
I dunno, the moral debates kind of bore me after a very small threshold. I suppose I'm not alone, because 9/10ths of the high ratings in this subject are always marked Funny.
I guess I'm not one to dwell on the "Should we should we" because much like tastier bread, organ harvesting and a smartlysmart bomb...its historically inevitable, meng.

Apart from the existing sections, I wish I could filter 'Section of things slashdot repeats ad nauseum.'
Could someone please begin implementation?
Dangerous and absurd?
Funny, it so resembles nature.
This wasn't funny until I read your sig. hahahahaha
Ahhh wh111o n333eeded cr5421ypt an%%yway?
Informed? I try.
But cheerlead?
Thank you for your comments, gentlemen. I will certainly explore them.

Hrm. Once again, the moral issue bores me. 7,000 is a walk in the park in terms of war. Go google "russian casualties WWI"
No War for Oil, brother. Peace on!!!
