I know this is a silly question, but what exactly is it that these so-called Slashdot "editors" actually do? Given the never ending inaccurate summaries, the summaries with all the grammatical elegance of grade-school assignment, the summaries that are essentially just the first paragraph of the story, the summaries that reference rip-off web blogs designed for noting more than soaking up page views while that actual source is some other web site entirely... What exactly do the "editors" actually do?
Cry me a river, Anon Coward, the people knew what the game was when they signed up (and continue to sign up). They are volunteers and as such bare a large part of the responsibility for both their actions and the outcome / result of military service. I'm sorry if the reality isn't as glorified as you would like, but these people who have exercised their free-will, need to suck it up. Perhaps they should not reenlist when their 4 or 6 years is up? Funny, many re-up and keep going back for more.
The state of computer games - inability to own and resell, the whole DRM diarrhea including "always connected" - is a shame, but clearly the customers are so addicted that even as they complain, they continue to fork over dump-truck loads of cash. There is *NO* incentive for game companies to behave any other way.
Holy fuck, did you stop reading after that first sentence. You suck at overall comprehension.
Of course I can read - and understand - what was written. Back at you: Where you unable to fully understand the FIRST sentence? I mean. it's pretty clear.
And, when combined with the second paragraph, really makes no sense.
The *facts* are that *every* Arab country would very much like to block "gay" material, and many in fact do so. This *fact* is in conflict with the first sentence:
Lots of the arab countries do not want to be able to block things like porn or ".gay" material.
And, the second sentence contradicts the first.
I'm sorry to pop your lefty bubble, but I can think on exactly *NO* Arab nation where it is not suicidal to be gay. In fact I can think of exactly *NO* Islamic nation at all where it is within 10,000 miles of being even possibly safe to be openly gay.
So going back to the original post and my comment, HOW do you explain the contradiction between the first sentence which is clearly nonsense, and the second part of the post which is quite honestly an UNDERSTATEMENT?
It means they can ( and will ) track people that visit other people or places or meetings that they classify as "subversive" - like political parties they dissagree with. Like people organizing labor. Like people who are members of pro-pot groups. Socialists. Anti-totalitarianists... SUBVERSIVE TYPES LIKE YOU......
That officials should support the will of the people rather than their own personal opinions or anything they might be more informed about.
No, officials are elected to office to conduct government for the good of the people . Sometimes, large segments of the people are not able to recognize what is good for them.
If we say that elected officials should represent EXACTLY the will of the people, there would still be slavery in the South, and homosexuality would be, for the most part, illegal.
and one which the US won't miss if an imperial fuckton of bombs happened to vaporize it!
Such statements have no relationship to reality and only serve to make pro-Assenge folks look like perseverating nut-jobs.
It is, however, a great day for Assenge and his cause, and a sad sad day for all those countries that COULD have stood up and made statement to the US and Sweeden.
What Slashdotter's REALLY want to know is HOW BIG IS MALDA'S PENIS, and how often he plays Whack-A-Mole with it?
* When he shoots his load, what is his volume? * Does he use a gym sock to clean up, or custom embroidered lace hankies? * Does he wank to EMO Boy porn or Blond Twink porn? * Which parks deos he like to wank in? * Has his mother ever caught him wanking in her basement?
Seriously, these are the questions most Slasgdotters want to know about...
Secondly, while it does contain significant innovations that where licensed or purchased, what significant technology product today does not? It's silly to still be flogging that dead horse.
Also, while it does contain licensed and purchased technology, it is certainly not some product that has been simply rebranded, clearly MS R&D has made significant contributions to Kinect.
Isn't it a bit silly to still be playing these kind of anti-MS fan boy games? They are in reality quite meaningless in the discussion of what is wrong with the Redmond Borg.
Remember when Carli Fiorina was in charge at HP? She seemed to have a good vision
I'm sorry, what? I had to re-read that a few times... Really? Carli Fiorina had a good vision for HP? Wow. Simply wow...
...watching nature at work...

Interesting that this is not on the front page of the Seattle Times. In fact, I can't find it at Washington's biggest paper at all.
I wonder why Samsung wouldn't just leave US market
Because the US market is not the only market that Apple can sue them in?
Go Fuck Yourself!!
Yes, indeed, my penis is just that long...

What if I used it as a butt-plug?
You would have a red-hot glowing asshole.

Same thing with the greenpeace thing. Nintendo doesn't pay them, so they come in last.
Nintendo uses whale parts in their products?
Every time I go out on the town there is a "pussy riot".
As an MBA, I'd like to say that you made me cum!
So, "as an MBA", who's mouth were you cumming in?
Is there really any point in attempting to have a rational discussion of Microsoft at Slashdot?
Magic 8-Ball says "No".
Your arrogance is exceeded only by your stupidity.
Communicated like a true Anonymous Coward, and as expected, quite ignorant.
Holy fuck, did you stop reading after that first sentence. You suck at overall comprehension.

Good grief.
Lots of the arab countries do not want to be able to block things like porn or ".gay" material.
Really? Arab countries that don't want to ban gay porn? Which ones?
Yes, I'm saying you're full of shit.

Is that what you want?
to their treatment of Jews and women, so they can kiss my ass.
The Saudis probably wouldn't object to .jew because it would help them block a lot of material...
Interesting the .gay thing, considering how infamous Saudi Party Boys are...

Bullshit. $180,000? Dream on.
Here's the thing: Bitcoins are nothing and nothing is worth exactly that.
Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme, plane and simple.
it IS rebranded Primesense reference design.
No. Wrong. It is a product that contains significant amounts of licensed technology. It is *not* a product that has been simply rebranded.
Really, blather like yours completely undermines any possible point you may have had.
Its NOT their hardware to begin with.
First of all, "so what"?
Secondly, while it does contain significant innovations that where licensed or purchased, what significant technology product today does not? It's silly to still be flogging that dead horse.
