Guess what? It works for years,with minimal hassle and support.Once you have 9x drivers,its fine. Plus if you know registry hacks and bit of batch syntax you can optimize,and make your scripts(one of them runs any program links by:` XY).

Ba a Patriot.Don't think,kill the enemies of State.Never stop. Terror is the right cure.Let rivers of traitors blood cleanse the honor of your country.Exterminate them without a second thought.The revolution needs you.
If the article could be improved in 'wiki' style i completely agree. Redudant/useless information may be discraded,add few pics,etc. Each user could have his own CSS/Settings set which he loads articles in.
Learn to use custom/user defined css and settings.Most people who complain about bad websites just can't handle the idea of customizing the look of them. They prefer to be fed the authors "artwork",and whine all day about such nonsense.Check your browser settings.
This "economy" thing is a joke,and i don't want to expand on it.Blizzard can twist the world all they want.It like calling software viruses "alive" or nethack a "virtual reality game".
I recall when i was kid and tuned my radio,one weak medium wave station was speaking somehting like " foxtrot hotel lima" intead of speech,i have seen it reapeat itself few times.I never knew about those stations and assumed it was a communication channel for ships(like weather broadcasts). It was weird though,a female voice talking in monotone words without stopping.

If i can't get no satisfaction,then i drop the game.I (theoretically) might improve it/add content or make a patch if i really liked it.If the game fun it doesn't have to be balanced or non-repetetive.
I'm a hardcore starcraft gamer and i usually spend evenings/night playing UMS.Thousands of maps (adds diversity for the game) and i sometimes write my own.i don't think i needed better game those years and starcraft never gets old.
Btw,there dozens of other strategy games but i'm not even interested to see them. My satisfaction comes from starcraft alone.Well i know that SC has it share of repetitivenes,but SC skill is measurable chess-level achievement(even in UMS).
It not level grind or click-fest,its a fun game.Even if you lose you can save/check replay and learn what went wrong.
Its not popular in South Korea for nothing.Any game in SC is much more interesting and concentrated then sport,at level of blitz chess.
it sends a clear message that trying hard in school is a waste of time.
Its has more to the fact that schoool IS a waste of time.There no alternative at present that society accepts instead of Schools. They DO exist,homeschooling,internet education,remote education etc.They just don't get accepted mainstream.Its product of today society.

21st century without any advances in education methods and facilities.Religious schools flourish,even usual schools indoctrinate their old values.When it all changes?
true hackers invent their own solutions. education just feeds you the ideas.If you don't know it from the expirience it could as easily be forgotten. college will not teach you creativity. Its one thing people do on their own. If wikpedia had a broader range of knowledge,such "unregulated knowledge" would extremely useful resource for independent self-education.
Of course he doesn't know how games work:. Its the same game you got interested in. Game you started playing.Game you bought.Value of expected entertainment. A sense of accomplishment for playing. Game that has your friends in. Game that you can communicate better then real life. Game where you can roleplay anything. Game that has strong community. Game where you can choose exactly what you want. A detachment from real life. Real life runs in separate process. Game that can compete with real life. Game that is superior to entertainment. Game that is better then social networking. Game that is better then physical activities and sports. Game that interferes with real life. the crucial step is revaluation. Real life is chore,a burden on the better activity such as the game. Real life interferes with inferior motives. Game works for superior motives,better sounding and much more interesting at this point. Game increases happiness more if investment in time increases. Game needs concentration and awareness more then real life. Real life is boring and bland.
In this situation (nerve breaking abit) even scandals are better then running away from home(stupid,suicidal idea,many teens choose it anyway because they can't handle the pressure).
Educating parents about privacy,Telling them what you need,exactly maybe of help.Let them expirience what you feel.Maybe a reverse situation will help.A demonstration of what damage they cause by their words alone will put a negative feeling about their gossip.
This should be approached in Non-emotional manner,Neutrally,without yelling.Just put forward your statements,conclusions and what you demand to be improved.Make it seem as a logical solution.Make them reform. At least consider to reform.Parents are notoriusly manipulative as rule,not an exception,they want to "Parent" their values into kids.Freedom from such oversight is healhtier life.I know such things personally.
Its either you be a good guy and tell them the logical steps to reform,and what exactly they do/did to you. Or be manipulating them back to minimize damage and futher you social position in the family(ethically wrong but valid). Back then,you choose to make your life much restricted medium for your parents to make any damaging moves.Safe but overpriced solution(in terms of development).
In my life i traded good relationships for a piece of mind(which is really good deal in retrospective,changed whole my life).My mom is divorced,and now no control is possible. What i did was regard her as mortal enemy,oppossed everything i could,accepted no authority,All while being relatively diplomatically (apart few scandals).Except a token support by a brother no one was on my side.Im a hard individualist,and Society can not force me into anything,as family tried(such as forcing a vegan to eat meat products in my case(i was felt like cult activist)). As years passed it was harder for them to oppose my freedom and the dictatorship fell out with divorce.
well,today it doesn't matter. as one of my friends said "This shit toughens up people".
Slashdot is news webblog,MySpace is social network.They are apples and oranges.Userbase is unimportant,there always enough sheep to run the show.Its the site that matters,what makes it unique,what features it provides,what content it serves.Userbase is not what makes sites,sites exist on their own. Userbase is the community of the site.
Slashdot isn't doing the community aspect as priority while myspace does,liveJournal does,and every general forum.That why Slashdot grows so slow compared to myspace.Its threads are a joke compared to gaia Online(by size),though much more advanced.
Userbase is consequnce of interest in said site.Cheap(not necessiary dirty,just basic) populist strategies always bring people in.Its easy to do,advertise, and profit on.Nothing novel required.Think of AOL,Yahoo,Gaia,and any web portal.
Slashdot freezes old threads,there isn't a general forum,social interaction is an afterthought.Just think who knows about your Slashdot journal more then your site? Replies to comments as form of interaction is deficient on so many levels,that bring whole weblog business in spotlight.It like viewing an academic dispute,but here it forced mode of interaction(by Slashdot standards).
You will get modded to oblivion or ridiculed if you introduce off-topic stuff or diverge from local consensus. Free discussion is curbed into rigid Slashdot culture.Unless you joke your comments cannot reflect your wishes,without reforming them to tastes of Slashdot(and i'm not talkign about lameness filter alone,you PEOPLE ARE THE LAMENESS FILTER).
Userbase on Slashdot therefore worth much less then MySpace(even if both had same number of users) despite it being of lesser quality then Slashdot.
Why do think painters,artists and writers drew their inspiration from.Unhappy families are breeding ground for self-absorbed children who are traumatized by outside world.Such grow up to be geeks/nerds in the social terms.
What people need is "the guts" to stand up to parents,without compomise.It doesnt work everywhere,but stronger will prevails.Being bold,rude,independent is good thing.Social skills and diplomacy are secondary to self-worth.Individualism is what makes you a person,don't let others manipulate your life.
In parent's post,it clearly a failure and compromise.If he wanted privacy he should got it,without privacy life is difficult to manage(Transparent society comes to mind).Besides this,programming isn't that bad of occupation,he theoritically could end up as alcoholic or drug addict due such influences.

I suddenly feel like posting on Slashdot between playing a map(on Starcraft Broodwar),is something of common occurence.
p.s.I think the guys who die play long melle matches non-stop or some unlikely sick UMS(Korean UMS require alot of concentration).
