Simply go for a walk around any UK town or city centre on a Saturday night and you'll see the Neanderthals out in force vomiting into gutters and pushing glasses into each other's faces.
Ah... here in southern Ontario we call them American tourists. (Kidding of course... small town Ontario has clearly proven recently that Neanderthals are alive and well in the new world.)
That the company trumpeting how 1984 wouldn't be like 1984 was the company to most make it like 1984?
Very insightful, and I'd Mod you to +6 if I could. However, I make the case that Amazon.com is currently duking it out with Apple over the top position in the 1984 mentality race of late.
Then again, if Amazon deleted 1984 off of the Kindle reader software on your iPhone then it all comes together and I can see the Big Picture now.
Damn... and I thought we'd always been at war with Amazon.
Software programmers are free thinkers. They don't like being told what to do by a monolithic entity trying to hold all the cards and write all the game's rules.
Others are already objecting to this blanket statement... so I will try to clarify. Software development is an activity that (usually) requires high degrees of creativity, intelligence and education. Generally; creative, intelligent and educated people are more likely to be free thinkers than non-creative un-intelligent and un-educated people.
You will find a similar socio-political demographic in any field of endeavor that favors that 5% of the population.
You laugh, but it takes a lot of confidence -- the kind that only comes with lots and lots of experience -- to stick something called a "mana strudel" in your mouth.
Leading to the epic Dalaran pickup line: "Is that a [Mana Strudel] in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Kids talk shit. It isn't something that should be punished with armed police raids and summary execution, outside the senile mind of some old codger who just can't get them off his damn lawn.
B) Adolescents do stupid things as they try to stretch the boundaries.
C) Groups of adolescents do REALLY stupid things...
(I'm currently paying my son and his friends to landscape and build a deck to keep them out of trouble over the summer... I don't know whether to laugh or cry half the time.)
Seriously? You're going to compare the level of crazy of someone (allegedly) making a (credible) threat on someone else's life -- perhaps many people's -- and that of someone who spends "too much" time playing a video game? Seriously?
Well it is probably fair to compare someone who is stupid enough to make threats in a game where ALL the chat is logged to someone who just plays too much. I guess someone forgot to point out that what happens in Dalaran stays in Dalaran.
Slashdot Mirror
There you go again, bringing reality into it. This is Slashdot man! SLASHDOT... Reality has no value here!
I want MY America back! This isn't Nazi Germany!
You're right! They were much better dressed!
Well, if I believe my television, you should still be able to waterboard him!
Yes... apparently getting him abducted by the CIA, secretly flown to Syria and tortured for months on end is perfectly legal in the US.
Thanks for being my personal spell check! 8)
Given the context of the article you probably just gave meaning to his otherwise depressing life. Good on you!
Diesel engines have always been where hybrid cars should go
This should have been obvious to everyone. As far as I know Azure Dynamics uses diesels in all its models..
I'm going to go with *WHOOSH*
Ebonics has its own grammar and established vocabulary?
So do Klingon and Elvish
is that someone got paid $5.85 million by the chinese govt for copying and pasting cybersitter's source code:
Yet more evidence that my entire career path has been suboptimal... *sigh*
I had a feeling those Dam plans were going to be trouble.
I blame the Dam engineers.
I find it curious that I could be from Niagara, NY and cross into Niagara, ON and I would be categorized as a tourist?!
Niagara is probably a bad example...Detriot maybe.
Crossing from Detroit into Windsor puts you into a whole new cateogry! :-)
Science fiction???

So they uncommented the gene in 'DNA.xml', and modified its XSL 'DNA2Cell.xsl' so that it would parse again?
If there is a bio-chemist stupid enough use XSL in a production environment... damn that's a scary thought.
a slowly digesting sandworm...
The spice must flow.

How can you *stand* smooth scrolling? It's so slow!
Works on my machine(s)! (TM)
So now what?
Well I for one hope to get laid a little more often as I give linux advice to hot artists! I can dream...
When we find the edge of the Earth we can push all the Darwinists off!
Should be a cinch to spot from orbit! ... oh wait ...
Your comment violated my patent on "taking chain jokes one step too far going from funny to redundant"... oh wait...
Don't's you's mean's "Nobody's escape's the apostrophe's Nazi's!"?'s
/facepalm
Blast! I had just escaped the apostrophe Nazis too.
Nobody escapes the apostrophe Nazis!

So someone over there would have to play just over 230 hours a month to be paying $15/month.
So in other words, a slow month for those of us who play WoW?
I swear it's not an addiction! I can quit anytime! *twitch*
