These punks need to learn that there are consequences for their actions. The trolling culture on the internet today teaches kids (and man-children) that as long as you're laughing, you win, and there are never any consequences for fucking with people. A reminder of how the real world works is long overdue.
Seriously? Do you have a straight face on when you say that?
Because the way I see it, this is how the real world works.
This is the new civil disobedience.
You have a government that rewards the rich, bails out the corrupt, and yet you expect what is probably kids to find better ways to show their displeasure?
I know Mars seem so much more interesting, but it's obvious we have a shit load more of learn from the moon, not to mention, if it has water inside, and it's easy to get at, would make colonies on the moon (for blasting off to mars and other locations) a lot more promising.
Paul Allen has done a lot of great stuff (and some not so great stuff) for the Seattle area, but on the whole he's definitely made a positive contribution. Now, at a time in his life when he might have looked to the Gates Foundation or other global interests to occupy his time, he decided instead to buy up a bunch of bullshit software patents and go trolling.
So fuck off, Paul. You could've made a difference, but you decided to enrich a gang of lawyers instead.
I live in Seattle, and honestly dude hasn't done shit but try to make more money in his pocket.
You handed you child your phone, unattended I'm assuming since it seems the child was killing and slaying long enough to learn the controls to the game. Imagine what you child could have been exposed to if they clicked on the evil internet icon...
Don't try to put the blame on the parent!! It's the government who should be watching the children!!!!
CmdrTaco if you're in the Seattle area within the next two months I can give you a tour of the Microsoft Redmond campus;-)
Can't really see that being your scene though!
While he's here, he can tour my apartment. It's a hands on tour, and to appreciate the charm, you get "hands on experience"* in my kitchen. Then the bathroom.
I mean, for fuck's sake, give me the vector coordinates and I'll make a shit load of files for everyone who wants to view the data in actual 3D --.blend,.obj,.3ds and several levels for Alien Arena. Hell I have a script that already does this for point clouds (esp. for Kinect) that I can adapt in about 10 minuets. WAD?! (where's all the data?)
Oh sure YOU created a 3D map -- please, no -- you measured the 3D coordinates. Give them to us so we can actually see it -- Oh, I forgot, the purpose of today's research agencies and universities is to charge exorbitant fees for basic knowledge.
The bullshit 3D movies they'll come out with will pale in comparison to the crowd soured galaxy naming/classifying cross reference websites we could make -- if only they weren't Data Nazis. Of course we could suggest more red-shift surveys based on interesting imagines obtained from the Hubble and other telescopes -- Imagine being able to actually map the galaxy by virtually flying around in it, and having beautiful annotated pictures and comments appearing as you approach select parts...
I could reverse engineer their bullshit 2D map, but that would be a waste of time since they have the 3D coordinates they used to plot the map.
Knowledge like this is only of value if it's made free (as in freedom).
... Indiana has recently passed a bill to have warentless searches. If a police officer suspects any "Funny business" of any sort, they can intrude without a warent....
Dang, they don't like comedians in Indiana, do they?
A while ago, I remember seeing an article that explained why a zombie apocalypse would never happen. The point that probably made the most sense is this: America has plenty of people with guns, and hunters in America are so effective that we need to pass laws to prevent them from killing off all the wildlife in the country. Zombies would not survive more than a few weeks against the kind of firepower that our hunters possess.
That wouldn't save the high populated areas.
Might make it so later people can rally, but most the population is most likely going to be killed/zombiefied.
Apple has NEVER denied that any computer, including it's own, is potentially vulnerable to exploits. Their position is the same as it's always been... users should take appropriate precautions. At times in the past they've offered for free commercial anti-virus apps as part of AppleCare and DotMac.
Current users should download Sophos Antivirus for Mac. It's free.
So Apple have never said Mac's don't get viruses.
Even if that is true, they've inferred it plenty of times. I remember these ad's where they had one guy acting as a Mac and the other acting as a PC when only the PC got sick...
That is pretty much saying Mac's don't get viruses.
Okay, inferring stuff, mainly during commericals, is how it has been.
Do you think drinking the right bear will make all the hot girls show up? Do you think if you were Axe angels will fall out of the sky and throw their halo's at your feet?

Inferring, mainly in commercials, is part of the game dude.
Do you think drinking the right beer is suddenly going to make hot chicks appear?
Do you understand? I think not.

They gave me a free GigE card (at their suggestion) when I had problems with the built in ethernet on the logic board on a Powermac G5 and didn't have the time to take it in for repair because it was an edit machine.
They replaced my brother's iBook, 3 days out of warranty, because it was close to the expiry date and it was unfortunate.
They shipped a fresh set of Universal Binary Final Cut Studio disks to me for postage cost when the Intel switch came about, so we wouldn't have to buy the newer version of the suite to be able to run it natively.
Oh I'm sure I have a few more.
They also do "Macs form [sic] dummies" for those who yank their power cord from the wall socket by the cable and wonder why it frays and catches fire, or who throw their laptop in a bag with no case and wonder why the surface gets all scratched and so on.
They also deal with regular people who have hardware and software problems.
Your last line there, "They also deal with regular people".
So, your not a regular person? Your what, part of a big company that does hundred of thousands of dollars in business with apple, so if you dropped your mouse, they are there picking it up for you?
Look, this whole Cell Phone internet shit is stupid. How fucking fast do we need stupid ass shit to get to our cell phones? You have the corporations, making it so crap is bigger, streaming is important, while the cell phone co's are putting limits on downloads and charging more for over small amounts. They don't care if they sell more data plans even though there's isn't enough resources.
What is so fucking important today that needs this tech, that wasn't important 10 years ago? By the way people are, you'd think we didn't survive before the internet.
Slashdot Mirror
... Guess what happened at the end of the seventies?
The hippies became yuppies?
Whatever happened to our Constitutional protection from cruel and unjust punishments?
Is this the new War on Drugs or something?
It's a process.
They want to do a war on thoughts, but not sure if the public would support it yet.
Since when does cheating on an exam result in criminal charges????
Next time a "doctor" is about to put you under and saw through your sternum to operate on your heart, ask yourself the same question.
Pretty sure the person who puts you under and operates isn't the same person.

Seems to me, we should maybe go back to the moon.
I know Mars seem so much more interesting, but it's obvious we have a shit load more of learn from the moon, not to mention, if it has water inside, and it's easy to get at, would make colonies on the moon (for blasting off to mars and other locations) a lot more promising.

It's weird, but a quick google will show the age of consent in those countries is 15 & 16.
So how is looking up the skirts of a 17 year old possible child porn?
They aren't children at that age in those countries.
Not to mention, it's not real people.
Seriously, wtf!
You handed you child your phone, unattended I'm assuming since it seems the child was killing and slaying long enough to learn the controls to the game. Imagine what you child could have been exposed to if they clicked on the evil internet icon...
Don't try to put the blame on the parent!! It's the government who should be watching the children!!!!
So the moon belongs to no nation, yet moon rocks belong to the USA?
Ya, sounds like typical USA policy.

I have a working TRS-80 Mod 4 portable. Guess I should video tape it running, make a blog, and then post it to slashdot.
At least that OS would be running on original hardware.
Anyone can use an emulator...
yes, i said video tape. When you go old school, you go all the way.
Wait, maybe i should bust out Super 8 film instead...

I can't stand slashdot web interface anymore. It totally fucked up my reply above, and then it made all the shit i just typed in to fix it disappear.
so fuck you slashdot, you suck.
Now i have to redo the fucking reply

The problem is Apple is NOT an OS maker, they are a system maker. ...
Really? And who makes the OS that is on the computers that Apple sells?
Microsoft? Sony? Joe Schmoe?
Yes, Apple is an OS maker, they make their own fucking OS for their own fucking computers.
Can we try to change the truth a little more, please!

Sony would never be so evil as to threaten Rockstar Games with new firmware that prevents all Rockstar Games' games from working at all.
Even Sony wouldn't be that stupid.
Are you new to this reality?
Of course Sony would be that stupid.
so i guess i getting prostate cancer.
lame.
is the person making their commercials.
Like self check-out, this is about increasing profits by replacing human employees with machines.
First section in the store is produce. "How do you weigh this?" "I don't know." Left the device on a shelf... Back to Peapod delivery for me.
'cept your going to yell at the deliver person to get off your lawn.
