How THE FUCK did this get modded +5 Funny?! For crying out loud, the guy is saying that he IS ready to KILL someone - granted, in self defense - but whether or not this person is armed, and BEFORE making a threat assessment. I'm sorry, but to me that is manslaughter, and I am disgusted that people would mod it FUNNY.
And for those of you who aren't sure, this is NOT a sarcastic post.

Very recently, all non-locked LJ entries received a new navigation button: Flag. Basically, this button will flag any entry for 'review', apparently to keep the language nice, clean and proper.
It's not a far stretch to assume that this WILL also be used to watch out for Russian political dissidents.
The hack raises tough questions for operators of virtual worlds. Should they be as secure as banks and guarantee the safety of money and property that characters in the world possess?"
Considering that you buy Lindens with real currency, then yes. Yes, they should be just as secure, since it's real money you're dealing with.
As someone said in the comments to TFA, many people back away not to keep their personal space, but to be able to see the avatar in front of them.
Personally, when I was on SL, my avatar was rather tall. If someone about 80% of my height came up to me, I couldn't see them, not without moving the camera around. It was easier to just hit the down arrow and back away a step. I've seen many people do this, over and over. Even people in a relationship, posing their smooches and kisses while standing far enough apart that they could see each other properly.
So let's not be hasty about the results here. It may not be about personal space at all.
I can't help but think that this would be the next logical peripheral for the Wii. Imagine an upgraded tennis game with proper collision detection; the ball could actually hit you, or you could bump into the other players, or into the walls, all felt with light 'punches' from this vest.
Or the boxing game, getting pummeled IRL as well as in the game.
This has very good potential, especially for the Wii which is already aiming to make games more interactive than we're used to.
Interesting to see the truth being modded as a troll. I guess it's true that some people just don't WANT to know, especially when it means there isn't as much to complain about.
However, it would be kinda strange for an individual or crew capable of navigating a craft at least twenty four trillion miles to not know how to fly a spacecraft well enough to avoid crashing.
It could be that Earth's gravitational forces are vastly different from their own planet's, and a simple little glitch in the navigational system caused the ship to either over- or under-compensate for the gravity, resulting in the crash.
A better analogy would be that a pitbull that LOOKS LIKE the one your neighbor has does the above mentioned, but you never see for sure that the dog who chased you up the tree belonged to your neighbor. Subsequently you go on a crusade about how dangerous pitbulls are and demand that your neighbor's dog gets put down.
The Iranian government should define immoral messages as any message that is not grammatically correct, contains proper sentence structure, and is free of typos.
Or simply try going to the site in Firefox - you'll be told immediately if the DNS server doesn't know the domain; if your ISP's DNS server doesn't know it, there's a pretty good chance it's available.
HOW is this entrapment? That's the same as saying that having a stand of newspapers on the sidewalk is 'entrapment' for cleptomaniacs. Shooting the deer is illegal; same as speeding is, so are the roadside speed detectors 'entrapment' as well?

First post modded redundant. Moderators, please send me an email with the specs for your time machines, I want one.
Their think-tank ordered a pizza one slow night, and went "HEY! We can patent THAT!"

I rock so hard, posted this as a reply to the wrong post. >.

So the OLPC is a torture instrument?

You may want to take a look at www.anarchy-online.com if I understand your bullet list right.
Don't you mean they look weird with Caps Lock off? ;-)

The only difference being that they can not shoot you.
Yet.
I see your penis has been rated redundant. How does that make you feel?
Well, it doesn't really sound like a very intelligent design in the first place.
