A great start would be forcing people to hand in something written every month. It only has to be 1 peice a month but make sure it's judged on the hand writing (back in my day a good 10 years a go now at junior school we had whole lessons JUST on spelling and hand writing 2-3 times a week for an hour a lesson).
A few years back I stopped writing for a good six months, I had no reason to and just typed everything up. My hand writing went to hell to the point where I almost forgot how to hold a freaking pencil. I don't see how other kids would be any different.
We used to use PCs to play games on in the lunch break in my day, we had a handful of basic games and that was about it. 1 PC for a class of 30.. now they have a PC each and seem to think they're needed.
aww the common misconception. Most zombies (obviously each persons vision is different but still), have very basic brain functions. These are "Must feed" and "Must survive". Now you put the two together and you get a rabid dog in human form.
So if you disable the brain it can no longer send signals to the main body or even "think" basicly. So a bullet to the brain disables their basic thought and movement in 1.
Secondly, brains is the "common" thing, but if you notice they just want to eat flesh. Most humans naturally consider flesh the "best" food source (meat and 2 veg, shows this perfectly). So they go after flesh, human or other wise (Most zombie films will show you dead animals being eaten or at least being attacked).
Of course each "universe" will have it's own way of making zombies and it's own rules, but the basic lay out if above.
Anything which says "Innovat" in some form is bullshit. It's the same toy as last week with more useless buttons.
"We're working on a new phone, it'll be even better then the last one because it can send e-mails and surf the internet!" translates to "We're adding more things which cost a lot of money and won't improve your phone any".
The old saying "If it's too good to be true, it probably is".
TBH I didn't even notice it. It wasn't a HUGE thing to me. I think it was "cut down" though to show the final events. Theres a lot of effects and then a huge explosion (followed by more effects).
Maybe it's so they didn't render so much sky box needlessly?
Politics is not about protecting people or even working for the people. It's about who can lie and keep a straight face.
We should infact change the name to "Extreme poker", then maybe the general public will takea good and see just how fake theyall are and if anyone speaks the truth (Hello Boris Johnson) they get their asses handed to them by EVERYONE.
This is on the news all day. Everyone going "OMG WE WANT ID CARDS!", but the general public are over it already.
It seems like years ago to me, the bombings made no difference to me at all nor many others. We'll just see them try and force ID cards through and waste money on this sort of thing.
If they really do want to prevent another bombing they should spend the money on more coppers and make them do less paper work. A scanner can detect things but can't detect when someones acting very suspicious.
Shin Megami Tensei puts you in the middle of a war between Heaven and Hell. Japan is ruined in some way (as usual) and you pick what side you take and attempt to survive/escape/whatever.
Most major religions are featured, for example the Christians are sadistic morale high grounders. "You side with us or we kill you" types. Total control freaks.
In the second game if you took the Chaos path God was even the last boss.
Untill recently none of them were translated but they get a lot of hype in Japan. It didn't do too bad so hopefully the rest will come.
First all they do is rehash the old crap and now we're replacing them with robots? Next they'll find a cheaper way to replace admins and you'll all be out of a job!
I'm from the UK (an hour from London) and can I just say something here.
I couldn't careless. The IRA did this loads of times, lots of people have died in the same situations spread out over a couple of weeks. It used to be a fact of life that this happens. 1 event isn't a huge issue.
Save the pity and shock for else where. It's not needed and hopefully we won't whore this like September 11th was.
I know this'll get marked troll but I think it's an opinion we NEED to see put out. Some of us couldn't careless, it won't stop our lives any more then seeing a giant pink elephant would.
It happened, it's over and done with, next please.
The sci fi channel in the UK aired it. It ended up failing and getting a 3am timeslot. Without the "OMG IT'S EVA!" catch it doesn't stand up in the anime world any more.
Buzz words moved in and technology moved out. It doesn't matter if you're 100 times better then your nearest rival, it's whoever has the best advertisements that wins. It's no longer profitable to spend money on development when you can just tag along later (or patent broadly) and spend that money on marketing.
Controlers haven't changed since the SNES era. The controller is still the same basic shape with the same basic buttons (1-2 moved or enlarged, but same style). They just added more bells and whistles.
I mean do I really need a vibrating joypad for anything but making noise? I don't even feel it any more.

I'm currently between school and college and live in the middle of no where so don't have a job, but that's not the point.
Writing is a useful tool and we shouldn't train people for jobs, but for life.

So MS denies something they clearly did wrong, what's new?
Next they'll be shouting that Linux gets more spyware then Windows.
It's all PR, same shit different day type things. Don't listen to MS and they'll tell you no lies, listen and they'll tell you no truth.

1) Get some spare time
2) Fix bug annoying me
3) Submit fix for all
4) ???
5) Profit!
Obviously the OSS community needs to figure out the ??? bit and we'll be rich.
even on Microsoft Windows
NOT WINDOWS! I was just about to move to it from this Linux thing!

Is it anti musicians day on Slashdot?

best post I seen in ages.
Aww so what you're saying is.. you hate me and yet hate is a disease.
Try calling a doctor because I just find this fucking funny. If you're so shallow minded you can't see how small this is then screw you man.
so what if 100, 200 or 2000 people die in this. Theres 6 billion more on this planet. It's a grain of sand on a beach.
TBH, it's in England. All of US are making jokes about it. It's how we are.
"Did we die?" "nope" "Good, lets take the piss".
It's the British way!
Have a good laugh about it, if I died I'd rather people took the piss then cried and whined.
Hey, good for you man. I should be killed, everyones worthless some of us just relise it.
Have fun with your patriotism, I'll have fun laughing at you for it.
and you shall forever be remembered for that statement.
I'm having quite a laugh today and you just topped it all

What's a Linux fish?
Isn't most of GTA:Sa(quite far into it) about a guy trying to go straight and stop drug dealers?
Shocking really.. who would of thought you that? I've only ever used a prostitute once just to see WTF it was that happened, then I couldn't careless.

So it's bit torrent but they charge you for it?
"Here, have a nice MP3, it'll costyou X amount of bandwidth and $1"
Yea I see THAT working.. cough..
