Have you considered going to a libray with a pair of (metaphorical) balls where the librarians enforce the rule of quiet? They do exist ya know. Unfortunately for you, there's no "official" rule that states one must be quite in a bookstore.
Eventually someone like lets say google and their andriod sdk will come along and provide serious competition.
Huh... whatever did happen to OpenMoko? I figure you meant they're not a serious competition in the cell phone market, but I'm somewhat surprised the enthusiasm for it died down in favor of a phone that doesn't exist yet.
Unfortunately no... when that happens then we'll probably focus on how "real" the characters feel based on things like AI istead of creating games with good gameplay
Haven't you figured it out? Slashdot's priorities are "whatever makes money," then "news for nerds and stuff that matters." We're a true news site now, and it makes a small part of me sad.
Lets not forget on a trivial note you can acess "slashdot.org" on Opera just by typing "/." w/o the quotations of course. I don't suppose anyone knows who added this little feature?
Dunno know about Japan, but I know both Korea and China also eat congealed blood. Although it's considered somewhat "country" at least in Korea. Supposed to be a great hangover cure from what I hear (I'll let you guess why).

No real idea why that would offend. We already eat pigs who I believe are considered smarter than dogs. I suppose it's cause dogs form packs with anything, though since almost all the domesticatd mamals can form bonds with humans....
Heh the funny thing is my dad said something very similar when he came across cheese (some strong smelling variety I forget what exactly) when he immigrated to the U.S.
If a work of literature isn't supposed to be taken literally, who decides what's the "correct" interpretation? I'm sorry, but the views of the extremeists are equally as vaild as the most liberal in any religion. Sure, the liberal views are more moral for us, but what does God think? I dunno, and therin lies the conundrum.
That's good to know, but from the looks of things the lastest version capable of this was released less than a month ago, and that version is in alpha stage.
Oh ya install a program that requires you to manually find and connect to people.... While we're at it lets also wonder why Linux isn't the dominating OS, and why people just stop fighting.
Ah geeze... wiki exists for a reason folks! In a nutshell, Anarchism is about thinking the government is harmful and unnecessary. While it a bit out there for most, the philosophy is not about apathy and desire for wanton destruction, they want to make the world a better place like we all do.
We get close enough when we believe that our versions of justice, and/or love and/or fariness are the one of best. There are no objective reasons why we do this, yet we'll defend our views/beliefs, sometimes with our lives.
Karma is a part of religion, but the notion of "what goes around comes around" is a bit more universal imo.
You're correct, trusting people is a calculated risk. The only reasons we do this is either because we're no choice, or more frequently we've at least some faith in that person. Heck, it's the only reasons why we take risks really. No choice, or faith.
Like anyone who watched sci-fi could tell you, emotions are irrational it's what allows us to have faith and religion in the first place. Love is an especially irrational one which is now a days more about being with someone you care about instead of procreation. Emotions are the basis on which we build our lives as any nihilist would tell you. People who base their lives around love are mostly called "parents," and "spouses" btw.
Like I've also said, our belief in things like justice, love, fairness, karma, people, etc. are also irrational, and some of them are aurguably equally as irrational as the belief in a divine.
We all make irrational decisions in life. Belief in justice, people, love, and all that fun stuff we're all guilty of falling for as a collective. Even as an uber secular I find it offensive that somehow one form of irrationality is immediately worse than another one. We mustn't generalize faith in such a simple manner, it makes as much sense as saying those you love have a higher chance of making an irrational decision. Some do, but other go about that emotion in a relativly smart manner. Similarly, tt is quite possible to worship any religion in a rational manner, one just has to strictly seperate the physics from the meta-physics.
How unSlashdot is it for me to find it hilarious that Douglas Atkins considered both Apple and Linux to have cults, and the Linux guy they interviewed looked like the sterotypical long haired hippy talking about "being part of the tribe" and stuff (this is in the second clip)?
Eh, I agree. I've met a fair amount of strangers as a kid via online contacts. Course, it was always in a public space, usually with friends, and occasionally said person would be approved by someone else I knew. I mean I wasn't a smart kid or anything, but I've been drilled on the whole don't trust strangers thing to have a decent idea of how to meet one. This isn't to say that everyone will act like I did, but imo the simple act of meeting a new person isn't going to necessarily hurt a child/teen. Most people are decent enough for that.
It's not so much superior to men. It's more accurate to say there's a belief females are still less equal than men, therefore a female oriented group is needed to correct this.

That's great! Hmm... small problem though, who'll be spending that cash to take care of you? Your generation? HA! For awhile at best.

Very funny, but wouldn't the kill all power part solve the problem by itself?
...I don't get the punchline. How is making a mistake uber bad when your a Hasidic Jew?

A government force who's out to protect us from terriorists overrides any coporate power/regulation, duh.
Now you hope that you infect them if they copy data from your computer. A slim chance probably, but why the heck not?
You could just say it's a recently bought laptop. The day that excuse doesn't work I'm so out of here.
