However they're doing, there's no reason for these annoying trolls to repeat that stupid "I saw that on Digg 3 years ago" crap. I'm pretty sure that anyone on Slashdot who cares about Digg is already there.

Under that logic, all games and movies based on war would be wrong as well.
The word is odi. Odi, odisse. It acts like the third principal part of a "normal" Latin verb like porto, portare, portavi, portatus-a-um or possum, posse, potui(no 4th principal part). Odia would be the plural of "odium", which is the Latin noun hate. Oh, and Interretis would probably be a better way to put "internet" into the genitive(rete, retis, n, one of the 4 neuter I-stems, means net). But aside from the gramattical issues, I agree with you totally.
How about AAC, which wasn't meant to be a DRM format(hint: it was invented by Dolby, the DRM wrapper around it by Apple)? It will almost certainly show favor for the non-DRMed AAC.
Google doesn't give information to the Chinese either. In fact, they don't even offer certain services in China so that they won't have to do so. But of course, anything goes for the anti-Google fanatics. If they didn't censor for China you'd be saying that they are doing evil by denying the Chinese access to Google! And Google was not, is not, and never will be powerful enough to become the next Microsoft. Google's products don't have the lock-in quality that Microsoft's and IBM's do/did. Gmail is the only one which comes anywhere close, and even then, looking at the way people switched to Gmail, if they try to abuse their users with it, there will be a mass migration from Gmail.
In addition, Google doesn't provide certain services in China because it would force them to breach privacy. Personally I consider the censorship in a nation with a millenia-long tradition of strong rulers which only had democracy for about 30-40 years a bit less pressingly important than the DMCA censorship that is being performed in a nation founded on the ideals of freedom and democracy.
(I've heard there's a Pokemon-themed version for N64, but haven't played it.)
Don't know about the N64, but there's a Pokemon-themed version for the Game Boy--Pokemon Puzzle Challenge or something like that was the name. There's also an open-source version for the PC(Linux, Windows, or OSX) called Crack Attack. It has both single and multi-player modes, with one caveat in each mode: Single-player garbage goes straight to your field. And you have to know the IP of one or two of the computers on your network to do two-player(it also works online, but if you're married you surely have at least two computers on the same network.:P)
My Gentoo system is less cluttered with packages than any RedHat-type system will ever be, and less cluttered than most Debian-type systems with a similar amount of software. Because, if I don't want to have to use, say, aspell(which acts mostly as an annoyance due to the fact that my spelling is usually quite good and I read over my posts), I just put it as a negative on my USE flags(Actually, the flag is 'spell', but you can find out what USE flags a package uses with emerge --verbose). That's the real bonus of compilation.
But OpenOffice.org, due to being the only package on my computer(currently a 900MHz Duron, although that might change in the near future) that takes over 24 hours to compile, is installed as a binary on my Gentoo system.
But that gag was way too complex to set up and didn't support my keyboard or video card
It does, but you need to compile in the drivers. And you have to make sure it doesn't compile in any conflicting drivers or else your monitor will explode. (DISCLAIMER: Posting this from Linux polaris 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 #1 PREEMPT Sun Mar 5 19:21:52 EST 2006 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux, with my entire uname -a in there for no specific reason)
Wow, you can't even be bothered to read EVEN ONE OF THE ARTICLES about this stuff, or even the article summaries. It wasn't a gay guild, just a "gay-friendly" guild, which basically meant no gays-are-going-to-hell types. And people do care about sexual orientation, not just the gays, look at anything from Fred Phelps, and look at one of the Constitutional amendments(which I would like to kill some people for--the only other time the Constitution has gotten rid of rights was Prohibition, which was repealed) to ban gay marriage? And of course, if gay people want THE SAME RIGHTS AS EVERYONE ELSE, people like you bitch at them and claim they want something special, just because a movie was made about gay cowboys(How many movies about straight cowboys are there?)
What manual? I think you mean "RTFA".
OT: Your name reminds me of an incident last semester in Latin I: The teacher was explaining his simple test on how to tell if a word is abstract or concrete(so you know whether the ablative of means or manner applies to it): Can you put a bunch of it into a bag and bash somebody's head in with it? Of course, his example happened to be "speed", and the class burst into laughter. Just because the Romans didn't have methamphetamines don't mean they don't exist now.
Of course not, the Romans, not the Greeks, had fora! You mean "The world is not a Greek agora";) (I don't have anything useful to contribute here, so I'm just giving you a lesson on ancient history:P)
No, bureaucrats have to take tests. Although I don't like a huge bureaucracy either, it's a necessary evil, and there are minimum requirements for most positions(the ones that don't are ironically the top positions, something I admit is a mistake because it leads to things like the current administration's cronyism), something which corporations don't have, except through regulations, and even then, not well enough. And the ones making the laws, we vote for those, even if a proportional-representation system would probably be better. And frankly, I place the blame for the energy crisis in California more on the corrupt corporation Enron's shady money-making dealings than on anything Gray Davis did. And now you have another Republican actor as governor.
I'd choose the regulators over the corporations. At least if the regulators are corrupt, we have a chance of voting them out. And if you say 'vote with your wallets' you should know that that doesn't work, especially when the corporations don't deal directly with consumers.
Fewer restrictions != more free. BSDish may be more free for the programmer, but the code is more free(and contribution is more likely to be propagated) in a GPL project.

Because most people don't know the difference between 'ogg' and 'vorbis'.

It's impossible to make something only affect children and not adults on the Internet. Because on the Internet, nobody knows you're a child.

That's because once you become powerful enough to cause death and destruction, you stop being "private".
