Wikipedia says it's on a modified Cube2 engine. It doesn't seem to have many single player features (I think single player is just like multiplayer, but with AI bots). There doesn't seem to be much depth to the story (if any). As to modability? It's open-source. It is, by definition, infinitely modable.
Why is a cut-and-paste advertisement here?
Because the ad space is for paid ads? How many developers of free games will actually *pay* for ad space? A game like this *is* news to some brands of nerds. It's a relevant story. To point out the obvious...your rant isn't going to change the behavior of Slashdot posters, and you just wasted more time than you would have *finding the information yourself*.
FAT itself isn't owned by Microsoft (I think). The suit is against the mapping between long windows-style filenames and short/ugly dos-style filenames.
And I'm sure you're wrong, because that would actually make some *sense*. Homosexuality is "sinful", but that's the point of having an all-forgiving God, right? I think, for a lot of so-called "Christians", that they'd be exactly equivalent. Homosexuality or leaving the Christian church would be equivalent to the death of the child, to the parents. I think you're underestimating the vehemence with which some people hate homosexuals.
How about "it is an evolutionary dead end"? Sexual behavior is evolutionarily selected for, since it tends to lead to procreation, and the furtherance of the genes of the individuals involved. From an evolutionary standpoint, homosexuals are "broken". They don't contribute to the gene pool to the same degree as a heterosexual individual does. There's a very fundamental aversion toward behavior that doesn't further the advancement of the species, and I'm convinced that that aversion is the primary reason for the prevalence of homophobia within various cultures.
Stating your sexual orientation *is* "sexual content", just not pornographic or explicit content. She pointed herself out as a member of a group of people that's unpopular in some parts of the country. She *shouldn't* have been targeted, but neither should she have been terribly surprised when she was.
I would argue that sexual expression is much more fundamental than religion or race. Anything that sets a minority of people apart will cause some part of the majority to be against the minority. The primal feelings inherent to thoughts about sexual behavior strengthen whatever distrust of "the outsider", and make it more likely that they'll be shunned. So, I really am not at all surprised that something like this happened. Surely the young lady in question knew that her preferences might be unpopular, and that there is a certain (relatively large) group of people that find homosexuality offensive. I don't know if this is what she did, but a lot of people, when facing a similar situation, would go for the controversial route, do something that *might* be reasonable to some people, but borderline or outright offensive to others, then get indignant when other people acted annoyed.
Heterosexuality is the social norm, no matter what any group of people *wants* to be the case. A larger number of people will be offended by someone being openly homosexual than will be offended by someone being openly heterosexual.
Some number of people *did* decide that she did something offensive. Then again, fighting against offensive things on Xbox Live is like draining the ocean via eyedropper.
The world isn't fair, and by using the service, the user is accepting a usage agreement. They're Microsoft's servers. I'd say they can use them however they want, even if that leads to discrimination. I don't agree with the discrimination itself, just with Microsoft's right to enforce their arbitrary usage agreement.
I live just a bit north of San Diego, but the highways are similar. In California, freeway speed limits are taken more like suggestions. I usually go about 80 in a 70 zone, although I've hit 90 or 95 a few times. As to the Mexican problem...it's always amazing when they have a boycott, a protest, or some other reason that they decide to stay home en masse. The roads become almost completely clear, and the average driver competency seems to double.
Oh, cut the crap. PB *technically* doesn't offer downloads of discographies, but they do in the *practical* sense. Save that kind of pedantry for the court room.
Oh, come on now. If it wasn't religion, there'd be something else that you wouldn't like parents teaching their children. The people that you likely have a problem with, that teach their children that evolution is false and science is evil, are a loud minority of idiots.
At a certain point, a fetus is able to sustain its own life separate from the "host body"...so I'd disagree with you on classifying it similarly to a tumor or finger. Then again, let's not turn this into an abortion debate. Back to the discussion on English privacy and information access rights, ok?
Correction, we would all cuss and argue in Mandarin, and that's all we would use it for (except for the cool-looking Hanzi logos on our ships!) Still....I call the engine room bunk!
I remember, in the days of dialup, having a really terrible Star Trek fan page. It had a 500KB animated gif up at the top, which I converted from a video file. Glad I've grown up since then. Now I think I would put a 50MB animated gif, at least!
"Get some Cyrillic fonts" doesn't make any sense. It's not a lack of fonts that are causing the problem, it's the non-unicode character encoding (Latin-1).
Sometimes the extra apps are needed for some hardware-provided functionality, like running the display in portrait mode rather than landscape, color correction options, and for some of the odder resolution and multi-display options.
The internet is "inter-state", sure, But my home network is a separate network. That's what a router does: it joins two networks together. Now, my home network isn't interstate. It doesn't even leave my apartment (WPA hacking aside...)
To log IPs on my network, I'd have to set up an extra server to act as DHCP, and log from there. I wonder if the law will basically require a few gigs of flash memory in new routers to hold a log, or what?

You aren't paranoid. They really are out to get you. Watch your back, or the Javascript monsters will eat your brains.

It's a logical improbability. I don't think it's actually *impossible*, just impractical from a cost perspective.

Nope. It's boobs with tassels on the nipples.
Judging from the name, I'd guess it's a version of phone that supports slang =p
