This is without a doubt one of the most annoying slashdot trolling templates out there. Donate to charity or you are a greedy degenerate!!!/ How can you talk about new tech when PEOPLES ARE DYING IN KATRINA!!!1/ give laptops to people in africa? how about food you sick fucks! / Why are you socailzing online when you could go down to the homeless shelter and befriend a homeless person YOU DEGENERATE!
This is so fucking anoying for several reasons. 1) The person who posts these lovely messages, probably feels quite the bit self righteous, thinks that they have done their part and almost never follows their own advice. Newsflash: posting to slashdot is in no way as altruistic as you imagine. You are NOT doing your part to help ANYONE. 2) Why are you posting to slashdot when you could be using your time to help the homeless? YOU SICK FUCK! 3) It makes people feel needlessly guilty (maybe thats your point, christian much?) about self indulgence. Im sorry that this offends you, but im spending my money on MYSELF. It is not going to the administrative costs of one of a hundred million different charity's. You cant guilt people into being altruistic. This is the exact OPPOSITE of altruism and charity. 4) What I do with MY money is MY business. Maybe that guy who buys 2k worth of gold does it so that he can haul toys for goodwill on a saturday instead of grinding. Ever think of that you close minded troll?
So to sum up, you are a troll, your trolling template sucks, you suck, and you can take your glorious hoiler-than-thou "look at me" altruism and shove it up your egotisitcal self-righteous ass!
The exact game you are looking for exsists as a mod for halflife 2. The maps are prefixed with ZM_ for zombie mod. One person starts off as the zombie and has to knife other people, who then become zombies. The goal is to get to a high unknifeable place and defend it till the time runs out or all the zombies are dead. Alot of the maps are crap, but Ive almost jumped out of my chair a few times when you turn around and theirs a zombie thats been silently following you for who knows how long.
This is what gets modded to +4? You have basically said NOTHING in your post. Looking at the bigger picture gives a more accurate.. PICTURE. NO SHIT EH??
No thats false. More people PLAY wow than eve. Its like saying more people prefer their honda civics to a bently. As in most people don't know the joy of a bently, or have it to compare, its a false choice. Eve is crazy good. You should read http://00experiment.blogspot.com/ from the beginning. Your experience will probably differ greatly, but its so very much better than grinding for trinkets, or completely walled off pvp.
We dont care if, or are in any way responsible for, your site making money? Is it really that hard to grasp?
Advertising is garbage for the brain and causes therapy. It is responsible for over consumption, driving consumerism and the general unhappyness of the masses. Advertising is a psychological disease that gradually and continually perverts, manipulates and conditions society. It creates an epedemic of distrust. You will have no idea of the effect advertising has on your life untill you rid yourself of it.
Is that like when i listen to music on the radio or what? Im having a hard time thinking of how I could steal music. Can you steal a story, a quote or an idea? Do you perhaps mean take ownership of, claim as your own, take credit for or profit from? Did you mean stealing a physical cd when you said media? Vibrations in the air that cause sound? Can you steal vibrations???
" to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment. "
So people who download songs are repackaging them and claiming that they wrote them? Becuase thats what that quote says. Perhaps you should learn how to read.
Lets look at another word mr illiterate. The word is "appropriate". Lets look at the definition ok? "To take possession of or make use of exclusively for oneself, often without permission.". Are any of those things occuring in this instance? Copying is certainly not "making use of exclusively for oneself", as there can be enough copies for all. You also don't "take possession" of Enter Sandman, it still belongs to metalica. So what do we have left? The right to profit. This is not a right.
Lets assume for a second that you aren't a record industry stooge. I watched my friends copy of true romance at their house. I payed nothing to do this. How is this different from me downloading it and watching it on my own? The movie is what, 15 years old now? Do corporations really have a right to profit from things that really aught to be - and indeed are - part of our collective culture? Indefinately?
If you release a movie, you want people to see it. This is why people have told stories for generations. You can't just legislate away peoples ability to enjoy and learn from culture. The problem here is that theres an attitude that everything has a right to profit. These rights were created by men, perverted by corporations, and now we are simply liberating them back.
no offence, but if you cant get hired to do fast food work, it may not be your technique. Plenty of people have bad breath, but NO ONE ever tells them. Sad but true. Use of deoderant is also a plus.
"Free software won't cause the collapse of the computer industry and free manufacturing won't cause the collapse of capitalism."
Now that is interesting. Capitalism is not akin to "the computer industry". "The computer industry" in this example is "economic activities", or more clumsily, the economic industry. Capitalism, free software, closed software, etc will not collapse any base industry that they are in. What it may do, is redefine economic activities or software development/pc industry in a new way. Capitalism is hardly an ideal way of running an economy (flame on). It is just the best we have been able to come up with, considering lack of resources and other factors. All that can change, if you look far enough into the future.
Yeah well thats alot of what critics of DRM have been saying. If you make all these laws for music and drugs, when it comes time for nano forges to roll in, they will be used to enforce an artificial scarcity on everything. What could completely eliminate materialism would end up being for profit, like every other god damned invention.
Yes but cedega costs money doesnt it? Worse than that its a subscription! Windows on the other hand...
Besides wow is generally renowned for its "hackability". Try getting battlefield 2 or another EA game working on it. They dont even work right in windows! Id love to game on linux, but I also like things to just work, most of the time. I know its mean to mock the efforts of people that are at least trying to do something about it, but I kinda want 100% compatability, or at least high 90s.
Well pretty much everyone knows what size a metre stick is and also that the standard ruler from school is 30cm.
However, if you look at recipes, it may call for 3/4 of a cup (not 6 oz), and if you double, it's easy, 1.5 cups.
Base 10 is way better for doubiling. 500ml doubled = 1L. 3/7 is.75 ? Wow I totally didnt realize that till I though about it but I guess it is.
"The imperial system is more useful for most people in their day-to-day lives, because it is based upon fractions (intuitive) instead of decimals (precise but not intuitive)"
I would disagree..2 is 20% of 1.00..33 is 1/3. But try picturing 16/27. You have to do some crazy math to even reduce that down. Whoes got time for all that?.46 is 46% which you can easily eyeball as a little less than 50.
"*deliver email the very second it arrives on the server"
1. I assume you mean pickup, or download as a client isnt doing any delivering. 2. It polls the server every second? Or are you refering to IMAP which I would hope most computers are capable of doing.
All I would say is if its meant to be a phone, they better have done some serious durability testing on the thing. My phone has been all kinds of abused during normal use. A cracked touchscreen on a $900 phone would be real nice. Especially considering how shitty apples warrantees and returns policies are (try getting an ipod repaired out of warranty for instance, they will only ship a brand new or referb at brand new prices). Nah, after working with apple hardware and their policies Im not sure im interested in apple hardware anymore, no matter how flashy or trendy they may be.
You obviously don't work with foxxconn motherboards or shitty $30 PSU's. Yes hdds fail alot, but leaking capacitors cause all sorts of weird problems, whereas if a hdd fails, it usually just fails or gives delayed write errors. Ive been able to install windows and have it working at 90% reliability with visably swolen or bubbiling caps. This is why alot of people don't notice them. The machine might still work, sortof. HDD problems are a bit more obvious if you dont actually look at all the caps.
I dont really know anything about this game, but I read your link. Why is it bad to have all of a clan play on the same team? isn't that the point of having a clan? I've never heard of a multiplayer game that forced you onto a random server, and people thought that was desireable. The guy obviously cheating for the other team is a different matter, but I find it hard to believe MS would care the slightest about that! I guess I just don't get this whiney console mentality of the article. If someones griefing or cheating, why don't you just find another server? Maybe I've played CS for too long, but you cant expect some company to solve your private server related issues (unless of course they are legitimatly hacking, not just griefing).

UNDERSTAND?
All money is virtual man. If you dont believe me, try taking out 10k from your bank account. Odds are they won't even let you.
Please kindly add to that list every game released by EA in the last ten years.

I know its hard, but THINK BACK. The votes were counted using electronic voting machines. Did zany get redefined as gullible?
Yes we have all seen the 80s documentary beyond thunderdome.
HDTV rips are often better than dvd quality.
No thats false. More people PLAY wow than eve. Its like saying more people prefer their honda civics to a bently.

Poor???? Most people would be more than happy making 20 dollars an hour and most work for far less!
Many people are thankful for a 10 or 12 dollar an hour job, which is like 1500 a month after taxes.
The housing market is just stupid right now. It'll drop in 5 years, or when everyone decides they cant heat their mc mansions and abandons them.
Just wait 500 years. Its got electrolytes right?

Better get to know richard dawkins or someone else you anticipate being famous in the future or they will have no reason to unthaw you time child.

Clearly slashdot is dying. You leave first, we'll all be right behind you.
