He's approaching it from a physiological standpoint; it's much akin to saying the natural element of man isn't the sea as he has a limited innate ability to swim and no ability to process air underwater - though that can be augmented using technology (eg rebreather, scuba, fins) it isn't an innate ability and not part of his 'natural' state. The same with a purely vegan diet, as the human physiology is designed to digest both plant and animal matter.
Indeed, I've purchased a few games from spidweb over the years; they're unique in that they tend to be much more rewarding to play than your average mass marketed games - they have a high fun factor, not too complicated, yet still complex and intricate enough to keep you interested.
Not to mention they have low hardware requirements - they run quite well on older PCs, laptops, netbooks etc. whereas most current games with full 3d engines barely will chug along (if install at all).
For one thing this would be an absolute idiotic move by Microsoft as the gay/lesbian market has TONS of disposable income (not raising children lets you do that).
To just cut themselves off from such a profitable demographic would be a dumb move, even for Microsoft.
There are many companies still hiring workers, as the need is still there - it's areas like these, where specialization is key, the market is still scarce of workers who have the background in the subject.
I don't see how more MSCEs would help with this however, as this is a wholly different ballpark...
Even if your analogy -- that cooking a burrito is akin to creating a derivative work -- is a good one, there is no law that gives a burrito-maker exclusive rights to derivative works based on his burrito. The author of a book does have that right, and absent a contract that waives this right, I don't see how this is as clear cut as you claim.
Pretty valid point, but the real problem with the analogy was it consisted of a frozen burrito and a microwave, and not some bizarrely-cobbled together analogy involving the automotive realm.
Once HP broke the unwritten rule and displayed multiple operating systems in the same dropdown menu, with prices beside each option, the was cast. Windows will soon be going for near $0.

There isn't a single offering on HP's website that lets the consumer choose between Linux and Windows. The only mention are two distinctly different netbooks, once carrying linux the second XP home but that's hardly "Multiple operating systems in the same dropdown"
The fact is that this is a colossal waste of public resources.
Actually quite the opposite - reinventing the wheel by creating a government-only version of Youtube would be a colossal waste of public resources. When there's a free-market solution already out there Uncle Sam should be enthusiastically embrace it instead of adding to government waste
Sorry, missed the specific exlusion of water in the last quote - still, sounds fishy to me. Is it proven that if I drink a diet coke, substantial gastric acid is released?
Well, there was statistically significant evidence within the study to show that diet soda had an effect on weight gain. Take that as you will. Here's another on the same subject: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/Story?id=4271246&page=1
A very reasonable post, right until you made the leap of faith about diet sodas being bad. Your whole previous post was about sugar content, so how does that reasoning go?
Take a look at this report from a year or two back, then. Diet sodas don't work in practice, despite what your personal thoughts on Aspartame might be.
For smaller boats there's the option of getting a marine radio modem. It's crappy baud and also a huge investment - probably not worth mentioning for this poster, but, still, an option
Then stick to one supplier. I've had all of my banking at the same credit union for 16 years.
A bank is fundamentally different from a credit union, as a credit union isn't a company in the traditional sense (as it's not a for-profit enterprise) so anecdotal information about one doesn't really apply in a discussion of the financial industry as a whole
Young brings up the fact that many of today's games punish failure by wasting the player's time
I hear the Playstation 4 implements dual electric shock controllers, for more direct punishment of failure.

Actually that's a relatively good price. A good many hotels charge $15-20 for a single hour of internet out there.
So that narrows it down from pretty much every country in the world to...
... every country in the world.

Funny, your post criticizing bad moderators gets labeled 'Troll' - clearly you're just a sockpuppet bent on causing trouble ;)

OMG, how can people be so dense as to not see that the GP is a troll. It's f*king hilarious, too
Hear, hear.

Um, there'd probably be a market for this despite the financial nonsense going on now.
They can run their business as they see fit but it would certainly have a bigger impact if they scaled up the run sizes by taking out a loan or two.

Sadly irony is lost on most
Frighteningly true.
Why is it that posts genuinely interesting/insightful, like this one, are always ignored by the mods?
It seems like Slashdot has been recently flooded with an inordinate amount of trolls and spammers recently
Hate to say it but this pretty much tells it how it is.
Pity so many people have their head in the clouds
Irony, you mean like goldy or silvery?

I wouldn't exactly consider the target audience for it to be slashdot though.
Y'know on account of many of its members not being the most religious
