I suggest reading about the "Alien and Seditions Acts of 1798" to see how important the judiciary is to preserving our rights.
I don't have time to look it up now, but my understanding was the judiciary did nothing to protect us from those laws, they merely expired on their own (congress didn't renew them after the so-called "sunset clause")
Some discs read very smoothly while others require all kinds of speed adjustments by the drive to get data out of them.
getting data out of DVDs? the data is supposed to stay in them! You are in violation of the DMCA. please turn off and step away from the computer and wait calmly for Ashcroft to arrive in a fleet of black helicopters
in any case, both (of reloaded/revolutions) were shot as a single production, so it doesn't make sense that it'd be any worse than the second as far as being rushed/etc
the definition given (according to earlier comments, i haven't RTFA) is it's an addiction if it hurts one's social life (one earlier comment said it's not clear that they'd have a social life without it)... i propose that not only do the games not hurt the gamers' social lives, but are indeed the source and only existence of it... this addiction thing seems like, in disguise, the "computers will isolate us from each other" alarmism, both dismissing the fact that people do communicate with each other through *gasp* the internet (or games, take your pick)
grandparent post said " or that they're not very talented" (i.e. whoever put this one in wasn't able to find such a pre-existing one, regardless of if he wasn't among those who might have put one in)
had i noticed that, my interpretation would have been that he did not mean a signature like the cursive/scribble/etc, but in the same sense as "signing off" on the radio or tv. (i.e. just typed the name and doesn't want to repeat it on slashdot)
Slashdot Mirror
the rear wheel tends to lift when decelerating
yes, but it tends to lift even more when stopping using the front brake
what i'm confused on is how they seem to manage to copyright the game itself (i.e. no-one gets to independently describe it)

And if this one judge had failed, perhaps the next up on the appeals chain wouldn't have.
and maybe since he didn't fail, the next one up on the chain will
Just because a lot of people do it, does that make it "right"?
yes.
If you know a way to turn carbon dioxide into hydrogen, your skills would be better put turning lead into gold
That said, I'm pretty open to people doing whatever with their life, as long as it doesn't affect their work.
bullshit.A party cannot be tricked into any contract under any means other than his/her free will to contract.
cite, please? this could be useful in challenging EULAs.
joking aside, i think that's trademarked (along with "Good Thing(tm)" to martha stewart.
My thought is that we should all vote on those bubble sheets that are used for every standardized test given throughout our public school system
those are what's used in the indiana ones, if i remember correctly... the problem was the system for counting it
Well, actually, the laws of thermodynamics imply that in the long run, dams are pretty useless (entropy always increases)
it always increases in a closed system. the earth is not a closed system, it's going to have external energy pumped into it for quite a long time.
just because it's gone through some filters (i.e. blurring the text of a _private_ conversation) doesn't mean it's not an actual screenshot
Expecting a seven year old to be happy with just Solitaire verges on the abusive.

it's an idiomatic expression. i was pointing out that i had seen banner ads and popup ads in java
yes. they had _more_ time to work on revolutions, not _less_ time as (great-?)grandparent post suggested

Agreed, but, ah, could be worse. Could be Java. *shiver*
You don't get out much, huh?

so, are you saying that _none_ of the games of the "pokemon generation" will ever become classics? who predicted, at the time, that pac-man would?
