No, it's just that the gaming market has grown so much that the 'gaming masses' now encompass the majority of people, which is largely, as you put it, retarded. The gaming community of today cannot be compared with the gaming community of maybe 5 years ago, when good games were actually being made. The good games of old are no longer big sells because the people that supported them are now a minority.
I think it has more to do with the nature of the attitude of people of that age...
Age? I don't think it has much to do with age so much as the culture that reinforces those behaviours. Those people have probably acted like that since gradeschool.
Well, I think it's pretty straightforward. Just make sure that you and you alone maintain sole possession of the company, be it 51% of stocks or private ownership or whatever. And don't let anyone else get into a position where they can threaten that.
SysRq + k kills all programs on the current virtual console. And anyways, it'll only work if it's enabled in the kernel. It's useful for low-level OS hacking.
Eh, who cares. Kids don't learn shit in school these days anyways. Might as well amuse them with mind-numbing 'edutainment' software instead of actually trying to improve the system.

That's because NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I have stainless steel sutures in me, so I don't think situations like that are new to them.
Though at least my sutures can be localized...
...or, if you happen to be an EMT, stick some saline solution right into your blood.
Hope they don't do that while drunk...
10 years? Not quite.
It's December 8th. You're one day off.
Steganographically encoded hamburgers?!
Whoa, thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to avoid those games like the plague.
(*fingers crossed*)
What, are you deaf? Even if there is another source, that constant drone of traffic will drown it out!
The Slashdot summary is simply flat out incorrect.
Yeah, well, that's not exactly news either.
medicare? you americans have medicare? wow, and here i thought curing the sick was a business.
i just got word that my ex-school district is purchasing PDAs for every student enrolled in middle school and high school.
Holy shit. WHY?!? So kids can play games in class?
Maybe schools have too much money... I mean, can't they think of any better ways to spend it? Jesus Christ.
Could there be some system where the GPS system can be turned on and off?
Yeah, it's called a power button.
Well, I think it's pretty straightforward. Just make sure that you and you alone maintain sole possession of the company, be it 51% of stocks or private ownership or whatever. And don't let anyone else get into a position where they can threaten that.
That's not a bug, it's a feature. Really.

Then improve it, you naysayer!
Reminds me of a headline from SimCity 2000: "Naysayers Say Nay"
It'll mean the death of all of us.
Though the second law will probably get us far sooner.
More conclusive proof that the universe abhors life. It's just so negentropic.
...a full patch to a previously unknown exploit...
It certainly wasn't unknown to the cracker.
Well, it was obviously a set up. Just listen to what is being say: "You're a coward, and a liar, and--oof! Did you get that on camera?"
I'm far more disgusted at the people who would try to provoke and film this. Ugh.
Eh, who cares. Kids don't learn shit in school these days anyways. Might as well amuse them with mind-numbing 'edutainment' software instead of actually trying to improve the system.
BUT, you get more karma this way. ;)
doesn't mean you can misspell them.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. It's yet another obvious case of the control that is exerted on Slashdot by its tinfoil hat manufacturer sponsors.
Since when is a PC considered to be a 'console'?
Yeah, well, some people don't have minds to change.
