You could try any of Games workshops range. While expensive to start you can pick one of the smaller games and have just as much funmuch cheaper.
Necromunda is cyber punk and you control (and level up) a gang. Bloodbowl is Rugby only the aim is to hurt the other team as you play.. it's quite fun and again you gain levels on players and such. Battlefield gothic is a space ship based game, it's got alot of races but will cost more then the two above. Modernheim is a game set in a destroyed city where you control a warband and try and become rich and famous...
All would take a bit of work (painting models) but they are fun tabletop games you might want to try out.
STOP IT! We already get that soem groups want to ban games, we hear it every fucking day on Slashdot and everyone wastes mod points on the SAME POSTS!
Games arn't linked to violence Kids are fucked up, TV would of done the same Parents today need to smack their kids and sit round a table and eat meals together Kids need role models
Mod me up and just be quiet about this already. It's bloody ridiclous now.
Who wants to abuse this patent system so we can piss off MS with their own tactics? all we need is alot of paper and time and we can patent everything from the spoon to the windows OS!
I should point out that I'm not insulting the other searchs before someone says it. All I'm saying is google did it best and didn't fuck us over with pop ups, larger dicks and the other crap we don't want.
Google took the technology and advanced it, then they worked out what we wanted and added it. Now they have our support they don't suddenly pull shit on us. This is why google is "the internet" as I said. It's exactly what the internet should be, not what marketers want it to be.
We all know Google is the whole internet. It's like the libary index and filing system all in one, without it we're lost in a sea of knowledge without anything to sort it so we can find it.
It's the same damn thing. What's the difference between.
"They could nuke us in 15 minutes!" and "They can nuke is in 2 minutes!". It's all bullshit lies rewritten to sound scary and either way the government is to blame. but this is all swept under the carpet now because so many "investigations" have "proven" the Government is "innocent" and there was WMDs.
Just forget that in the last few months they've said there are no WMDs and changed their stories to "we got Sadam out!".
It's still fucking retarded and being buried in documents.
When you compare Slashdot to many geeks social lives it's alot less inanimate then you might think. We interact with hundredsd if not thousands of other people every week. On TV you just watch others interact.
It's like the community in "the real world", it's not really alive as a whole, but it's still there and evolving and developing.. and you get less dupes in the real world.
And how long untill some child molester puts a camera in one? Can't be difficult to put in a wireless webcam sit int he park opposit with a laptop and record it all... I can't think of many little kids who would even think that undressing infront of the thing maybe an issue.
The government has no right to tell the BBC how to act. The TAX PAYERS should do that, that's us not them.
Last time the government got involved with the BBC the director general was fired for saying "The war was illegal, there are no WMDs" and it seems we've all forgotten that doctor who killed himself over the war... funny isn't it. No one remembers this sort of thing..
Thanks, I'm on dial up but I've got the Ubuntu CDs here and spenta coupleof hours on Linux. It's a shame my modem isn't supported or I'd use Linux full time.. I'm just trying to find out if Dawn of war runs well in Wine right now then going to sort out broadband and get things moving.
I'm new to Linux (only just tried Ubuntu and had a bad exprience)... can anyone explain what use the kernel is to the average user? I thought it was just used for a base of distros... It doesn't make sense to be able to upgrade an OS mid... use..?
I'm guessing this is a plan. They make apple up the prices and then bring in their own store at the original prices and make double the profit (apples half). Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.
I think the British mentality (English mostly) is "fair play and whoever wins, wins". We're anarchists at heart but too lazy to do anything. So we all "accept" things or all our rebel.
The monarchy doesn't have any power, it's at best a freak show and no one really takes any notice. They are just there to get tourists here now, nothing important.
Knighthood is a joke, it's given mostly to celebrities and it's totally invalid.
Lords - meh, they are just there, can't do nothing.
Listen to "god save the queen" by the sex pistols. It somes it up nicely.
In short, we just don't care. Thats how things are we can't change them so why would we care to try?
and yes he did report the incident, the polices said "Well we can't do much since you didn't see them very well". It's hard to see someone when you've got 3-4 guys stamping on your head.
These are the same people who are attacking research labs and farms raising animals for science. The only difference is this kids pets ment something to him, a load of battery hens can be replaced.
This has nothing to do with "being cruel" or "not breaking the law" this is Blair's asshole government backed up by a load of townies, as long as they can keep London happy (Tossers!), they don't care much for whats outside it.
Many people have pointed out, if laws get so ridiclous you just can't be arsed to respect them and live within them, the whole system collapses. How much longer untill we get sick of Blair's government and all these bullshit schemes to "help" people while the NHS gets shafted.
Tell me, does it REALLY matter if a few people chase a fox for a weekend while we're in the middle of 2 wars (Afganistan and Iraq), possiblely looking at another and the only thing we hear about the NHS is "Dirty, you'll get MRSA, no nurses, no doctors, go private if you want"?
I was in hospital last month and I think I'd rather have that hellhole sorted then I would waste time and money on a sport which doesn't hurt anyone.
Theres alot of things we could say is disliked by the masses. That isn't a reason to ban it. Most people hate guys on mobile phones on buses.. don't see a ban there.
Hunting was very effective at what it did (kill the weak foxs to ensure the stronger fox population lived on and kept pets at bay). You can go "ooh but foxs are cute", well we (my family) used to run a shoot for various game birds. Went over the farm once to find a pen ripped open by foxs with 50 (yes 50) birds all ripped apart and not even eaten, just for the fun of it.
Now if foxs do that why can't dogs do that? Foxs are pests and just because you townies don't see it doesn't mean it's not true. When one gets in your chickens you tend to not like the things, when several do you tend to hate them.
Now on noe hunting EVER said "lets kill all the foxs", infact the opposit is true, they want to keep the fox population healthy and well, but limit it so it doesn't destroy the rest of the countryside.
and as for the vote thing, exactly. This country is a mess and hence why I want to move to the moon.
goto any P2P network and type @hotmail.com, @Gmail.com or @yahoo.com and see what documents turn up.. I'm willing to put money on them all being e-mails saved on idiots PCs which will contain everything from stuff to sell to spammers (if your so inclined), to sexual stuff and passwords/creditcard info.
Slashdot Mirror
Welcome to Europe, we have nice trains. Just don't expect them to turn up on time.. :D
I never understood how American trains were so open and based on standing when all of ours are the opposit..
Is it just me or did anyone else laugh at this?
What happens if it finds a Linux system? Does it Dl Windows from bit torrent and install that?

Who will earn the most money from this?
Who has enough money to be able to spend it to get this through because Linux is starting to gain popularity?
I won't answer either but we all know the answer.
People need to look at this differently. To us it's bad design and flashy, to the average idiot it's eye candy and "more cool things!"
If they go "look what all these buttons can do!" then people will go out and use it (I'm talking AOL users here).
They hit their market on the head, it's the opposit to the Slashdot market.

The government said the BBC reported wrongly on the information and that it didn't "sex up" the documents.
It was later proven they did to the point of out right lying. So yes it is.

XPs default action is a blue screen is to reboot or so I've heard. I don't use XP so I don't know for sure but several people have said.

Quality Assurance = "do the buttons all do what it says on them?"
Sounds like the kinda question a manager asks... "oh I heard switching to this coffee brand will make people more productive".
Heres a hint, if you want to be more productive force yourself to be. If you want others to then bribe them.
I'm guessing this is a plan. They make apple up the prices and then bring in their own store at the original prices and make double the profit (apples half). Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.

Anyone got an address or something I can complain to? This is downright fucked up and I don't want him a knight of my realm.
Postal address, e-mail or phone number if anyone has one. Even if we can't stop it we can clearly show we hate it.
