So all these groups need to do is go "we'll make no deal" and they get free press on a bunch of geek news sites, more support from the community AND they get street cred?
Wow, who would side with MS when you can get 3 priceless things which your entire business model relies on?
Only a pathetic person would tell someone else to kill themselves. A pathetic ignorant person who has not enough maturity to value life. Before you start claiming who should live and who should die you should learn some respect for people and stop acting like a child!
Please don't update us every time a new section of the site is revealed or there is another change. Most of us don't care and the Halo 3 spam would get very very very old and drive me personally off of Slashdot.
You have an interesting point but you forget how fucking creepy it is. People don't like the thought of a human skin coat, let alone a lamp shade. It's just too fucked up. Now if you're talking organ donation.. well yea, I can dig that. We'll see that for sure and in the US it will obviously be based around greed not need.
As for the porn star penis. Personally I'll stick with mine, I don't need some 12 foot dick only good for breaking coconuts in half with, any guy who isn't a complete ignorant fuck knows the vagina has limits and pushing them too far is painful for a girl. So a normal size penis will be just fine and everyone will be happy that way.
I pirate an album and Britney Spears loses 2 dollars. A girl gets violently raped and her entire life is damaged and she may never recover. Which of these two things are more important?
Japanese original VS American dubbing. It's bad enough they change all the names for no reason, being forced to listen to a terrible dub would stop me buying the next release.
Because the culture is different? Japanese kids are extremely pressured to do well at school. Failing at school is considered basically that you're satan and you're fucked for life.
Straight from this they go into hardcore office work from dawn til dusk where they ARE a cog in the machine and never intended to be more. They have very little personal life and mostly it's just stuck with family members in small rooms.
This all means some people will struggle with the life style.
Slashdotters will need sexual health clinics too. Sexual health can be anything from STDs to a rash on your dick from bad hygiene. It's not exclusively sluts and whores.:)
If you have a 1 hit kill weapon in your house that requires no pain until the moment of impact when it hits suicide is MUCH easier.
Hanging takes time and you have to resist saving yourself (or you set it up so you can't). Cutting your wrist/throat/whatever requires resisting a lot of pain til you black out. Drink/Alcohol requires a lot of work to get it and then take enough to die. Jumping off a building/bridge requires you to goto said place, climb up, then jump off.
All of the above have some kind of barrier between you and them, picking up a gun is just as simple as closing your eyes and pulling a trigger. Which compared to the others is a walk in the park.
So people with eye sight problems aren't welcome on your site then?
I have perfect vision and I struggle to tell if some S/5/Zs are one of the letters. The fonts and distortion is getting worse and worse to the point where it's usually 2 or 3 attempts before I can get one correctly, purely because letters are so distorted in them these days.
I dare you to walk outside, into a mall full of people and scream "I HAVE SEXUAL URGES TOWARDS CHILDREN!" and see how long you're able to walk afterwards. I very much doubt your freedom of speech will stand for very much if you oppose the popular opinion against child molesting.
This is without going into the whole Islam and terrorist ordeal, which others I'm sure will.
DISCLAIMER : I am NOT pro child molesting in any way shape or form. I DO NOT support this kind of thing, it is just the perfect example for this post.
A walking stretcher would be freaky as hell. It would waddle and be menacing like the Abstract daddies in Silent Hill 2. The humanoid figure will seem more heroic once you're used to it.
Also how the hell is it going to balance as some guy flails, kicks and screams because he wants to go and save his friends even though he's lost his legs?
Of course we will see price cuts, everyone but Nintendo are in urgent need of a larger sales base because the Wii is raping them six ways from Sunday. These predictions are ridiclous and on a long enough time line cannot fail to be correct.
Why was an article even wrote and why is it on Slashdot?
You assume teachers know how to do this. An English teacher doesn't need to know how to play cat and mouse with Windows security, S/he needs to know how to engage kids, teach kids and the subject in question. IT skills don't come into this what so ever.
The saying goes "Jack of all trades, master of none", it's not just random chance you know.
PA gave him a chance to talk directly to this "evil" generation he seems to hate so much. SO if he truely wants to help people wouldn't be speak to this generation and attempt to get us away fromt hese evil games we play?
The guy could rationally talk and get on the front page of every game site in 1 switch shocking hour or so. Yet instead he declined and proves he doesn't care what we do, just cares for the money and/or fame.
Learning to use hencies is the key. I find Henchies are better than human players as I can focus how they fight. For example a team od ranged users used much more effectively than human players ever could.
So you're saying if some guy with an area effect attack who's high level sits in the newbie area casting it over and over it should be fair game for newbies to just spawn and die?

I'm doing worst case scenarios, not worst and best case :)

Then you have translation issues.

I would say you don't get freedom of speech.
The Government has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech, because I do not have free speech is Jim down the road can stop me saying what I want to say.
It's an American ideal that rules only apply to the Government and it's a very very strange ideal.
Gets freedom of speech?

Why is it that EULAs can get away with this and yet this can't?
saving money on blocks?
Who can aford enough blocks to build an entire mansion from leg? Welp now you can online!
It's a term for throwing a hissy fit. And I'd assume he still has stumps he could flail.
A walking stretcher would be freaky as hell. It would waddle and be menacing like the Abstract daddies in Silent Hill 2. The humanoid figure will seem more heroic once you're used to it.
Friendly appearance? That thing scares me..

Can we get an editor who doesn't post/write press releases too? We're geeks, we know about blogs, you can't bullshit us with your PR so quit trying.
It's insulting when an article like this appears and SCREAMS "We were paid for it".
Either write like a human being or stop trying to impress us, because you can't do both.

Preventing abuse is important.
