Good boy, that's a good little lamb. Here's a cookie for being so obsequious, now I'll let you run along so someone else has a chance to take advantage of you.
You know nothing about me other than what I write on Slashdot, which ain't much.
Hmmm...

I have to agree with the other gentleman- you are, in fact, a dickhead. I know that you are a dickhead from what you write on slashdot, which, I assure you is plenty. I think that if you examine yourself in the real world, and the string of failures that has tainted your personal relationships and life in general, you too will come to the conclusion that you are a total dickhead.
I'm glad to see that you aren't twisting your syntax to sound like a university professor. Just some more friendly advice: don't try to be funny. One reason that you don't have many friends is that you alienate people with your lame attempts at comedy. If you want a real social life with interesting friends and acquaintances and not just the castoff cubicle shit that you're accustomed to you need to take a long hard look at yourself. When you're in a group, do you add something or take something away? If you're honest with yourself, then the answer is a forgone conclusion.
Anyway, yours is a humorous enough response, despite the dull, reactionary nature of your mind being revealed by equating...
oh my god, you should be embarrassed by that sentence.
People who graduate from places like cambridge don't write like that. The assistant manager at best buy- a fat lump of shit who wears a goatee- does. You're not fooling anyone. If you wan't people to respect you, impersonating your betters- badly- isn't going to cut it. You need to take a long hard look at your life, and ask yourself how it became so shitty.

Sorry, I just had to read that again. If I were you, I'd start using the 'preview' button a litte more.
...is simply to write a book about your open source project. The users get better documentation for your project, the managers can relax a little about using a product that has some paper documentation, and while you're writing the book you'll run across all sorts of interesting stuff in your code which you can fix and document.
Downsides: it's a lot of work and it doesn't make a ton of money; maybe just enough to keep one person going. But in my experience it's well worth the effort.
It's quite simple: if these companies adopt bittorrent, and you decide that it isn't worth your time, you don't get the content. It's really simple. You ask: "What do I get out of it?" My answer: you get exactly what you came to get.
It's time to give a little back, for all the crap you "shared" for free.
It's a great place to get away from the irate 14 year-olds and effeminate, goatee-wearing cubicle shit that infests slashdork these days.

P.S. Instead of growing a goatee, how about just stop being fat? You'll get more attention from girls that way. Also, stop being so selfish and think of it from their perspective: do you really want to hang around overweight people? Contrary to popular opinion, fat people tend to have mediocre personalities. All of my friends take care of their bodies.
Hmmm... this '40 years blah blah personal responsibility' seems to coincide with the abolishment of segregation and other Jim-crowesque-nonsense. Do you have a problem with these things as well?
bzzzt! sorry asshole, you're wrong. It's definitely military jargon, re-purposed(like my choice of language?) into a mediocre middle-manager's buzzword. The general public doesn't care to bandy about such a banal term, but I promise that they identify it with the guys who wear chevrons on their uniforms over middle-managment mediocrity.
Your PDA doesn't run on fossil fuels, but just about all the capital equipment used to produce it does.
As for food distribution, your access to food depends greatly on availability of cheap oil. Unless you're living the ascetic lifestyle of the Mennonites. If there's a precipitous drop in access to oil, you'll be too preoccupied trying to feed yourself to spend your time dicking around on some electronic notepad, and you'll have to put your generator project on hold.
Day to Day, August 19, 2005 A new, high-tech system designed to treat military veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder -- or PTSD -- may be familiar to fans of a squad-based combat video game.
Using components from the popular game Full Spectrum Warrior, psychologist Skip Rizzo and his colleagues have fashioned a "virtual" world that simulates the sources of combat stress.
The project is a joint venture between the Institute for Creative Technologies -- a cutting-edge research lab at the University of Southern California -- and the Office of Naval Research. The object is to help veterans come to terms with what they've experienced in places like Iraq and Afghanistan by immersing vets in the sights and sounds of those theaters of battle.
The soldier being treated wears VR goggles and headphones. Using a tablet-based interface, a therapist can activate or remove the sounds of gunshots or the sight of smoke, depending on a patient's reaction. The idea is to re-introduce the patients to the experiences that triggered the trauma, gradually, until the memory no longer incapacitates them.
Eventually, Rizzo believes the therapy will include other stimuli, such as vibrations to simulate the impact of bombs or rumbling of tanks, and even the smells of war -- the body odor, garbage and spices of urban combat, for example.
Early results from trials suggest virtual reality therapy is uniquely suited to a generation raised on video games. The gaming aspect of the treatment also helps to lessen the stigma associated with getting therapy.
