I've been a Nintendo supporter for a long time(not quite fanboy status yet) and some of the things they do and say just boggles my mind. They fail to realize that people actually do like to play games online. They also fail to realize that people are going to buy the latest and greatest system, so the Big N can't just close their eyes to the fact that better and better hardware will sell.
The gameboy is one of the things that Nintendo has done right, so I think it will be pretty hard to grab a large share in the portable market, but Sony does have a lot of money. It's almost as if portable division is a completely different company than Nintendo.
Didn't the first patch for fallout 2 fix something crazy like 2000 bugs? AFter that it was great. Didn't have to wait 10 minutes to save the freakin' game.
Intel should outsource their legal team to a foreign country. Just imagine a team of high priced lawyers with heavy accents all using the wookie defense! They'd unstoppable!
Knights of the Old Republic was by far the highlight of the year for me. I played through as the light side and then dark side, and frankly I feel bad about some of the things I did while falling to the dark side, so maybe another trip through is in the cards.
Lowlights:
Fallout 3 cancellation
no more Black Isle

I've got a B.S. in CS, and I make $0.00 an hour as an intern. I'm just glad to be doing something after spending so long looking for jobs. I second the "what a great economy" (as long as it was sarcastic)
Local governments lose valuable tax money. IT worker used to be in the highest tax brackets. I live in Oregon next to some pretty big high tech businesses(who hired tons of foreign workers, becuase they couldn't find enough qualified workers here, so they said) that have let tons of workers go and now our local economy is total crap. Through loop holes some of these huge businesses are paying just $10 in property taxes. A local school district cut 17 days from the school year last year, and the cities don't have the money to cope. So much for investing in our future.
It's the companies that should pay. Find out who is outsourcing and tax the hell out of them. They're making quick bucks off of the American government and domestic/foreign workers.
and on top of all that I was forced to give myself the pink slip and outsource my personal website becuase free was too damn spendy!
Parent's should be the ones to restrict what their child plays not senators. If nothing else Lieberman at least alerts parents to these type of games. Many parents don't know what their kids are playing/watching. The rest of us that are mature enough to play violent games shouldn't be limited by others either.
btw, I am an American and I do live in America, and this election circus is entertainment for me too, In the spirit of Howard Dean, Yeeeeeeeeeaaaa!
You're not allowed to go fishing expeditions, so they are only legally allowed to search for things related to their warrent. If they find other things like tax fraud or something they'd have to get a new warrent issued if they want the evidence against the it to stand up in court.
Exactly, You can't yell "FIRE!!" in crowded theaters becuase it will lead to lots of pushing and shoving with the biting and the kicking. Funding Terrorists is the same deal, just on a larger scale.
Yep, I've had the same problem since I graduated 2 years ago. Trust me it's slightly better now than it was. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that people with doctorates are taking my grunt tech support jobs.
As Scott Kirwin says add the end of the article it's all about greed. Saying there aren't enough well educated employees is a cop out. There aren't enough American workers that will work for peanuts. I will, but that still doesn't seem to help. Big companies said there where not enough qualified workers during the boom and brought foreign workers over by the plane load, now look where we are.
It seems like it would be fairly easy to write a script that creates believable addresses. If you were to use a domain like AOL, there's a good chance you very well could end up with real addresses.

So here I am posting to Slashdot on Valentines day....
Where can I get these injections?(I still have 3 hours left)

I guess suing is one way to make money, but not always the fastest.
Yeah, Eternal Darkness is great. That game scared the hell out of me at certain parts.
Sure Chess it great, but can it find me a date?
More importantly if she leaves you, does she get 1/2 of your online house and your pet wolf?
I was led by other Slashdottoers to believe that Mac's can't have a virus
Haven't had one of those in awhile.....

I'm thinking for that precise moment in the Matrix that Hayden could have shown his acting chops and replaced Keanu for that line
I don't think he's right for any role. I can however imagine him saying "whoah", but that's it. Nothing else.

No. According to management, anyone stupid enough to earn a Doctorate deserves to be overqualified, and unemployed.
Good point, I'll change it to people with masters (who of course may be in the same position)
