I remember playing that on my friend's Saturn. Incidentally, that was the only game we ever played on that Saturn, and that was the only Saturn I ever saw.
Someone once told me in his ideal government, the politicians would get ridiculously high salaries, to combat corruption. Sort of makes sense to me.
And if you got Gates, you wouldn't even have to do that!
Why stop there? Why not also charge a theft tax on all computers (i haven't seen any mp3 players that do the illegal copying by themselves), flash cards, hard drives, cell phones, headphones, headphone cord extensions, ipod accessories? All stereo equipment? Throw in every single music related website as well, since they're promoting music in general. MTV? Radio? Without those outlets people would have no idea what to download.
After a while, Universal can stop releasing music altogether...
Oh come on, I can't be the only one who thought of Pikmin when they saw that video.
Anyone?

Don't worry, when discussing art you can't really take offense.
I could imagine the latter category of documentaries being very unengaging and boring. Even a film like "Capturing the Friedmans" is so captivating because despite its attempts to show an objective view of a situation, the filmmaker's own passion in telling the story itself inherently becomes the message. Thus it's selling a point, the point of "this is a story that needs to be told, go tell it to your friends".
Much like "Steal This Film".
I hope that made some sort of sense. English is not my native language.

in fact, there's hasn't been any objective documentaries made, ever. the views of the filmmakers always shines through one way or another. </film nerd statement>
We all know the most efficient way to cause chaos over the internet is to control the traffic lights to all turn green at the same time.
I can't wait for it to actually happen.
This is sort of similar to the xenophic and borderline racist pary Ny Demokrati, who got into parliament in the early nineties. Although they got a few seats, none of the other parties would touch them with a 10 foot pole, and they didn't get anything done. Even if the pirate party somehow miraculously gets a few seats, neither the social democrats nor the right coalition will want to cooperate with a party who want legislation to ruin Sweden's cultural wealth.
About that Aftonbladet poll giving them 57%, i'm very curious to know what percentage of Aftonbladet readers actually go vote. And how many readers of the article the poll was attached to got linked there by pirate bay or similar.
Either way it will be an exciting election with loads of new parties, and especially the regional here in Stockholm.
i wonder if this had anything to do with that patch they had that checked if people were running 3rd party programs, but they said wouldn't send any of the reports back to blizzard themselves.
(In fact, with TPM, your bank wouldn't even need to ask for your username and password -- it would know you simply by the identification on your machine.)
Now the people who break into homes don't have to sift through dirty underwear to maybe find a few crumpled up dollar bills, they can just turn on the pc and transfera couple of bucks into their bank account.
Aaah, the modern age.
they haven't bought the users, they've bought the name skype. how many times in the past year have you heard (not read) people using that name, and how great it is? i don't spend a lot of time with computer people, and everywhere it's skype-this, skype-that. 2.6 billion isn't that much for the kind of growth this business will see.
last year skype made 7 million dollars. next two years it's projected at 60 and 200 million.
150000 new users daily.

Whoa there! Did you just call socialism a loose form of communism? That's like calling OSX a loose form of Unix.
I remember playing that on my friend's Saturn. Incidentally, that was the only game we ever played on that Saturn, and that was the only Saturn I ever saw.
I once made a twister mat that covered an huge basement for a party. That was a really rockin' party.
That was my point. Slashdot people should know that.
How many slashdot discussions under science. have to come to this sad conclusion?

I have a feeling this will be a fabulously fascinating experiment of what a p2p network with 10 users is like.
We all know the most efficient way to cause chaos over the internet is to control the traffic lights to all turn green at the same time.

wouldn't it actually be better to be stuck in a glass elevator, from which you could see out of, than a regular one?
And maybe the traditional 36 years is now 34 years.

Just find a somewhat normal person and ask them if you can have theirs.
Isn't one of the reason one might want such a seed bank that the icecaps could melt?
And yet that's where they're putting them.
Hmmm.
It has a lot of elements. I get it. Haha.

Wait a minute...did anyone play anything other than world of warcraft?
at slashdot, google is good and aol is bad. will the servers melt?
...people stopped using it too. I mean, most "switchers" stay on IE, for some completely unfathomable reason.
it looks like someone on the buddy list sent it.
