Yes, but has yours been drop-kicked 30 feet across a room? Killed the 20GB harddisk (Maxtor, the 10GB disk, a year older, Western Digital survived just fine - stated both to indicate the force of the kick and to advocate what I feel is a more reliable name in data storage) but the CPU and mobo are both still fine to this day.
BOO-YAH, INTEL, BEAT THAT! Throw your shit 30 feet across the room into a trash can!
They get $6 for every domain name registered in.COM and.NET, right? Includin the ones they register themselves, whether they actually transfer funds or not, they can include that as income.
Imagine $6 multiplied infinitely on thier next quarterly report. What will thier stocks do?
this is liken to a virus that warns you that it is going to format your hard disk next time you reboot, tells you what file it is loacted in and how to delte it, then exits.
good, good, good... everybody, we need to write an app that will connect to fuckverisignuptheasstheylikeit.com and fuckverisignuptheasstheylikeit.net once a minute (cross platform and opensource - maybe they'll be nice and run it on a few of thier own servers?).
If half of/. connecting once a minute should have that as the most visited mistyped url out there. That, and I'm sure they'd love to see that on the top of their list!
Oh, and as an added feature, have it randomly modify one letter in the.net address and use the.com address as-is, and vice-versa, every other connect. That should FILL thier list with it. They'll get the point when the Omniture rep says "Sorry guys, here's a full refund, but I don't think you want to see this list" about 2 seconds after he says "OH FUCK!" in thier office!
unconfirmed, but ever since an hour after the article postedd, I have been unable to use this "feature" on my CoreComm dial-up.
P.S. - if you decide to get service through them, please let me know first. I could really use $25 off my bill, and I'm sure you wouldn't mind it off yours;)
The console (PS2, the only console GTA plays on) does have a parental control lockout that can be set to ANY rating. Parents, as I stated in an earlier post, need to take responsibility.
Further steps? Such as what? "Please swipe your license through the card reader to play this game."??? A warning such as this: "If you are under the age of 18, please kick your parents in the ass for buying or renting this game for you, as they would have had to buy it for you as it is illegal to rent or sell it to you as you are under 18 and it is rated MA"???
If the PARENTS don't read the ratings, that's thier fault! That is all the gaming industry can do short of not making such games (which result from public demand to make such games) and going out of business as a result. Then it would be "They killed him because they had nothing better to do. There were no video games to occupy thier time, so they killed a guy!"
AMERICAN FUCKING PUBLIC, GET A GOD DAMN FUCKING CLUE! Take a bit of fucking responsibbility for yourself and your children.
If you get sick, do you still go to work? Probably not, you wouldn't want others to get sick. If you do go to work and someone gets sick because of you, they may be able to sue you. If your computer gets a virus, apply the same, don't let it interface with other computers where it may spread the virus. If you do, they (owners of computers infected by your system) SHOULD be able to sue you. If you buy something, you should research it first, know what it does, know what it contains, and know who should or should not use it and live by that. Don't let your kids play games that are not rated for them. Don't let them see movies that are not rated for them (although many people often disagree with movie ratings, so that is a definate grey area), don't let your kids play with dangerous items (guns, knives, chemicals, cars, the computer, etc...) unless they are being supervised BY YOU, and keep these items out of reach (that means where they can't get them even if they are on a chair or ladder - usually locked up, and keep the keys on your person at all times) so they don't get to them. The computer, however, you cannot always keep under lock and key. So set up accounts so the kids can only log in if you are there to enter the password (don't tell them the password, dumbfucks!).
If you don't want to take responsibility and supervise your children while they do something, deal with them complaining when you don't let them do it! That is a major part of the basis of this great country of ours - yes, you have freedoms and rights, but each of those comes with a specific responsibility. If you fail on any of those responsibilities, you should lose those rights. Only you, not everyone. Responsibility, people, learn that you have to take on some of it yourselves.
Oh, and by the way, the kids did not rent or buy the game themselves. That would have been illegal, as it was rated MA and you have to be 18 to rent or buy MA games. The gaming industry, as a whole, willingly labeled such games so that minors could not play them without parental consent. The fact that the parents allowed them to play the game is liken to allowing them to watch pr0n and should be treated accordingly. These parents whould to time just as if they had allowed the kids to watch pr0n and should be held responsible (read : do time) for the death of this man.
The gaming industry should be left out of this. They do only what thier customers ask of them; they must do so to survive. They also have done everything they can (including making it illegal to rent or sell certian games to certain people) to prevent this sort of thing. The final step, as I have said before, must be done by the parents!
I'm going to start writing an app that will WHOIS a large number of >COM and.NET domains (starting from 0.com, 1.com, all the way to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.com) and return a list of ALL domains that are not registered (the ones which would redirect to VeriSign's site) on a website which, once the last domain has been added to the list, will act as a list for the same app to use in order to connect rapidly to these sites. VS (strikingly similar to |V|S, heh?) should get the message soon enough if enough of us run the app after I post a link to it. I'll just need someone to donate webspace to the project so the list can be stored in a central location (/., can you guys do this??).
A few million connects per second ought just be enough to/. even thier servers!
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these! I mean, c'mon. There has to be some way to convert this energy into electricity. Maybe a bunch of antennae placed above the Van Allen Belts (resembling lightning rods, possibly?)... To make a beowulf cluster of them though, one would have to connect them with tons and tons of ethernet cables.
Investigation: "Oh, fuck! It was the Blaster Worm! Oh well, we'll just tell the public we have to investigate the whole thing. That should buy us some time to make up a cute little story."
imagine hacking into the 'clothesnet' to take a girl's shirt off from across the street. heh... then her bra, her shoes, pants, socks, and as you cross the street to "help" her, her panties.
"Miss? Do you need help?" and you help her pick her clothes up, as you get her number.
