I for one have been waiting for a grand list of free games for a while now. There have been a few small lists here and there, but nothing all that grand. I hope these lists get properly maintained, unlike some that I have seen.
I also don't see how we can declare wars on such... intangible things. I thought a war was held between two or more nations/states/designated groups.
In another thought how can our presence in Iraq be considered part of our 'War on Terrorism'? I do recall Saddam not allowing certain groups into his country and being somewhat against the whole 'terrorism' thing. Of course if you consider how he ruled terrorism, then aren't most of our politicians guilty of terrorism to some stretch of it's meaning? Just some thoughts.
take an old linux box with a burner. Set up an automated backup burn... and use a LEGO Mindstorm setup to pull out the disc, slap an autmatically printed label on, and put a new, blank disc in. Sure it's not the most cost effective or efficient way, but it would be damn cool looking.
I am a real, live, high school student. I think a game development club would be very cool, very educational, and produce a pretty huge turnout. Not only would it attract the technically minded kids who are always tinkering with computer whatnots, learning all sorts of coding languages, and posting game dev club ideas on slashdot, but it could also draw out the artists, the writers, and some other kids who are just looking for something to do after school. I know I have been pushing some of these more technologically advanced activities at my school, but all the staff and such are only interested in sports and band.
Well, there are just some movies out there I never planned to buy or rent or even have anything to do with that I downloaded, then actually liked and bought. Also, I'm a cheap bastard and would gladly screw over a faceless conglomerate of corporations by downloading a movie, rather than giving my hard earned $7.50 to watch it in a crappy movie theatre, only to be interrupted by that jackass with the cell phone three rows ahead.
I can't wait for the Indiana Jones IV merchandising.. Indy the Breakfast Cereal, Indy the Lunchbox, and my personal favourite, Indiana Jones the Flamethrower.

Do I want to ask why you know what people tastes like?
... Tyrone Biggs said to start astronaut training soon...
They could always use the new convention center in Grand Rapids... sure it's on the other side of the state, but damn it's shiny.

Man, wouldn't it be great to play Galaga while you wait for your computer to boot up?
Wait, that timeline says MS developed QDOS... didn't they just buy it off some programmer who wrote it as a "Quick and Dirty Operating System"?
you mean Milliways?
Well, let me just paraphrase a Penny-Arcade; Remember, it's only illegal to fuck over your country if you're not a republican-backed corporation.

Slashdot's mod system really needs a '-1 Punny' allocation
