It's utterly fucking ridiculous that this was modded down on SLASHDOT of all fucking places. The people here on Slashdot claim that security is of the utmost importance, and what happened here is sickening. I cannot believe that someone can actually SUPPORT what is, basically, the publishing of passwords to a group of individiuals. If you are in a group there, you know everyone else's passwords. So what happens to the innocents that have/are/will be caught up in this?
It disgusts me that this is modded down and that page is still up. You, parent Anonymous "Coward," are now dubbed an Anonymous Hero.
At my school, there isn't. There are so many different types of people going to my school, and especially in my program, there's no real "groupthink." Maybe among the instructors, but I doubt it.
I *was* harassed by a FOSS advocate, as I was coming out of Costco.
I'm walking along smiling, say hi to some guy.
Guy: You're having way too much fun.
Me: Eh, I'm a happy guy.
Guy notices my school badge for Full Sail.
Me: Yeah, I'm going for game programming.
Guy: Linux, it's where it's at.
Me: Maybe, but Windows does what I need it to do and besides, most games are made for Windows.
Guy: Not in the future. You should use Linux.
I vainly attempt to move away to my car.
Guy: Knoppix is where it's at. Go to (whatever Knoppix' site is, I forget) and download it. You just put the CD in and it works.
Me: Yeah, I know what Knoppix is, but I use Windows. I don't want Linux.
I was scared I was going to be attacked with Knoppix CDs at this point.
Guy: You should use it. It's free and open source. Don't you like free things?
Me: Fine, I'll check it out. (FLAGRANT LIE)
Guy: Yeah, you should try it.
I slip into my car, lock the doors and get the hell away.
That is how I was accosted by a FOSS pusher outside of a Costco. There are those that take it to the extremes on both sides of FOSS, and neither are good.
UT2k4 was played almost exclusively at my last LAN. We had an hour of CS:S, hour of HL2DM and a couple hours of W3, but the rest of it was UT2k4 Onslaught. SO MUCH DAMN FUN!
It very well could if you were convicted of a hate crime, you possibly baby-killing, wife raping, racist.
(Sarcasm, ok? Get it? I know what his sig is in reference to, and you should too.)
Do not reply to this man. As you can see by his sig, he may or may not be a dangerous, baby killing, wife raping, racist murderer.
Crafting (Coding) in MxO is horrible!

The coding system is absolutely terrible in MxO. You get your raw resources (bits) by decompiling items. From there, you create code fragments which can be used to create items and abilities. A major problem is there is no way to tell the chance you have to succeed in crafting. It tells you nothing about whether your coding skill really has an effect on the outcome of your crafting attempt. Also, the rarity of the bits is very skewed, with some of the most necessary bits for even low level items and abilities being rare.

I know. My mom used to give me crap about it and told me to stop being a baby. She could not even come close to understanding. When I was being tested for diabetes a few years back, I literally had to hold my arm with my other hand so I wouldn't pull back when they put the needle in.
When I was having stuff done in my foot, the doctor gave me 3 shots and I could still feel him doing his thing afterwards, but I'd rather have that minor pain than another damn needle in me.
I had no idea what the real name was, just the pronunciation. I got it perscribed before I had some minor stuff done to my foot, but it required anastehsia, so I had to take it.
No, for me, it's the needle. I have an INTENSE fear of needles.
When I was younger, my mom got something (hepatitis maybe?), so they had to test the family. I was about 5 at the time. I go in and they attempt to draw blood from me. They couldn't find the vein. So what do they do? They keep trying. I ended up being pricked about 15 times in each arm, til my mom stopped it. Those fucking idiots scarred me for life by doing that and now I can't stand to be near needles. Whenever I need to have shots, I need to take something beforehand, either laughing gas, vikadin or something along those lines. A needle-free injection would help me A LOT.
Jail time for writing software. Jail time for falsely marketing software. Jail time for downloading software. Jail time for cracking software.
Jail time is *never* the answer here. It's ridiculous to send someone to jail for a long time for selling snake oil. Fine them, ok. Jail them for a few months, ok. 10 years for false advertising? 10 years for cracking copy protection? They're both ridiculous.

Totally disregard myself, the parent. I'm not exactly sure what happened there or how that sentence came out in typing. Hell, ignore this one too.
If Ann Coulter were in porn, I'd watch her. Say what you want about her bias, her hateful commentaries, she's hot.
You are a fucking asshole. (This is informative, as it is a fact, and not inciting flames, so it is not flamebait)

It was me after 8 hours of Calc class, failing to do basic math correctly.
That's merely 4 miles a day (if the guy has caffeine for blood). Hell, I could walk and catch a car that travels 4 miles a day.
Yeah, I gotta wake my ass up at 5 in the morning, doing the drywalling at the new McDonald's in Vascelina.
Funny doesn't give karma :-)
I've heard of people thinking out loud, but typing it too?! This is ridiculous!
