Doom had a story. It may not have been all that deep a story, but it was a story. Your part in that story was pretty one dimensional, but if you watched how the content progressed, you knew that you were going ever deeper into the armies of hell which had clearly invaded some human made station.
Why scoff at a nice looking server that adds to the array of options you have for serving whatever you may want to serve? Sure, it may not be the right thing to rack-mount en mass (though maybe it would work fine for that too), but it'd be a safe bet to say that Apple isn't trying to take over the rack-mounted server market with this particular offering. Those who would scoff would merely be scoffing at a misuse of the product.
Cheating of any kind immediately ruins the atmosphere. I guess if you're used to it as part of your normal game then whatever, but for me, any game whether all human or human/computer immediately loses its appeal once the rules are broken. The whole point of a game is to win within the rules. It's not quite as bad if human error leads to rules breaking, but this kind of computer-enhanced RPG would help keep that from happening.
I get that you may be trying to create a more interesting/epic story than "oops you got killed by the first troll you met" so maybe that's just the way YOU play the game. That's your choice. Definitely means I would agree that a computer-based board would do you no good at all.
Posting all versions of the Healthcare bill currently under consideration in a place where the public can review would be a start. His transparency promise will go the way of every other nebulous fuzzy warm feeling promise that gets made. "Read my lips! No new taxes!"
I agree. Though some state governments are almost as big and out of touch as the federal government with large parts of their constituency, there are no cases where the federal government is more in touch. Hopefully that will provide a small buffer between you and the flames. Actually, I'm not sure why you think you'll get flamed...unless it's by people who think that an equal measure of push back should happen at the state and local government levels who feel left out of your argument.
Yeah the twist on this one versus the others was that this crew boofed it and got basically zero good pictures by accidentally setting the shutterspeed to 1600. Still cool, wouldn't mind doing one myself. But really shows that it's important to pay attention when launching things into space.
Most people don't camcorder a theater movie for their personal collection. They do it to get a zero day pirate tape made that DOES get sold.
There absolutely are pirates who make money selling pirated movies and software. It definitely is a distinct from someone who shares stuff freely, even though that really isn't fair use, and does at least partially steal from the publishing company.
Well, perhaps it really is disingenuous, but Michael Dell can probably afford multiple computers running different Operating Systems. In fact, he was probably given a pre-configured Windows 7 alpha/beta/whatever computer rather than given a disc to install it on his own.
It is definitely worthwhile to look at every governmental power with a some degree of skepticism. We should constantly ask the question of whether the government, be it local, state, federal or other should have the power to any particular legislate/execute on prior legislation. Whether your government is a democracy, republic, or other, the people that make up the region that is being governed are a huge part of the checks and balances equation. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are two hugely important devices that exist to ensure that the citizen's side of the checks and balances can carry enough weight to at least have opportunity to make a difference. Anything that limits expression should be as strongly considered as something that limits anything we can do like smoking or abortion.
It's a constant battle with ground being won and lost by both sides on a constant basis. The side of the people has to stay vigilant, but also be ready to at least consider the possibility that a particular limitation is good. Those limitations should be very few and very far between though. Otherwise the spiderweb of law will get too complex for the average citizen or even citizen group to navigate just to FIND the limitations.
Parent should be modded up. Parent parent is either saying that it's okay to make death threats against men or that women are too frail and stupid to protect/get necessary legal help themselves. And since we're talking about FOSS where most people are geographically anonymous, it's even less relevant to bring up a psychotic killer who chose gender lines as how to pick victims.
The chinese one failed because they all look alike. Just kidding, I have many chinese friends who all look different than each other. Just an easy faux racist joke.
I think by being on here discussing the virtues of manufacturer's bricked console responses the implication is that at least some part of your time has little to no value.
Yeah, and then the stress of attending MIT will result in those easily stressed people killing themselves by second semester. Are they going to apply the same thinking to classes...make 4 year degree take 8 years so it doesn't stress people out? Then they would create an arrangement with various research labs to hire their coddled little graduates and only require them to work a few hours a week so as to not stress them out.
Does the 500 word essay actually keep certain qualified people from getting into MIT...doubtful. Perhaps their admissions are down because less people want to go.

Better come to the table with a business plan for the Crannies too, otherwise the merger execs will just laugh across the table at you.

Of all five active versions? Please show me where you got them from.
Where are the reported five versions of the bill that are currently being whittled down to two?

I'll take a computer than runs Quake 2 at a reasonable 60 fps over a computer that takes millions of years to say "42".

You should get that looked at.

If you tagged the big circle with distended anus, then probably so.
It wasn't the Nobel Integrity Prize.

Slow down/crash into/be bumped off course? I'm pretty sure you'd still be going fast enough to be screwed if you were heading straight at something.
I think they're implying that there are four universes. Perhaps Nasa has decided that for the sake of argument the multiverse is just four.

Yeah, I get that, I think there were some missing words in the original message that made it less clear.

I do not understand
