If implemented properly, over-all, I think things like this really add a lot to the functionality of PCs. Eventually, it wouldn't matter what Operating System you ran in terms of what applications you'd be restricted to run.
Security? Well, that's why I say "If implemented properly,"
Very much offtopic, and I'll take the karma hit if it's necessary, but I, for one, find it pleasant that Slashdot is finally comming up with a string of news-worthy articles. Keep up the good work!
It's their right to be homosexual. I mean, that would be the equivalent of me saying:
"Okay dude, it's cool that you're gay and all, but, um, while you're at my house... you gotta kinda... stop it."
I agree that they do maintain authority when it comes to smooth operation of servers,managing conduct and "player based issues". But, they don't have the moral duty (or as said above, ability) to judge your lifestyle, and thus, is something really, really, *really* taboo to start fucking with (not to mention, immature). Playing WoW is a priveledge, I agree with that. But just like driving is a priveldge, that doesn't mean that since you don't like cheese, you're not allowed to drive. Two things that have absolutely nothing to do with one another. And it's not a conflict, to be honest.
I mean, it's not a real "Problem", it's not interfering with other's gaming experience. Unless you're some insane, pickle-up-the-ass, christian fanatic, I don't see how that would bother you, and if it does, then you have to respect the fact that they have the right to make their own choices, and that your ranting would interfere with the Homosexual's right to enjoy the game without worrying about persecution.
Immature people exist everywhere, my friend. Kinda like smoking pot: I thoroughly enjoy it, but there are those that try to convince me that I'm a drug addict and need to find help, while they're holding a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other. In my opinion, stuff like this should be unmoderated in games (or real life, really). I mean, banning accounts for having names like "BigGayFlamingFaggotFucker", I understand. But in all honesty, like one of my Country's Prime Minister's once said, "What you do in the privacy of your own home, is your own business". Please don't take that out of context, I'm not in the mood to deal with inane flame-wars, it was said in the context of homosexuality anyways.
In short, WoW GM's are in no position of authority and/or capable and/or have the right to judge your life style. If the people engaging in the open display of homosexuality are mature about it, then I say let them be.
Am I the only one that got a nice, hardy chuckle out of reading that name?
_(Person)_ read a book called the "Kama Sutra", then proceeded to whip out his "Blackworm", as he called it, and used his new found techniques on MyWife! ... BASTARD!
I hit the "submit" button by accident. Anyways, the types of questions I want people to know are just basic things that we as "IT People" overlook, but are completely foreign to people that don't know squat. ie:
1) What a web-browser is.
2) Basic things about the internet specifically, since it's what most people use computers for anyways. e.x: What TCP/IP is. The significance of IP addresses. Simple scenarios that happen from time to time and how to deal with them ( like if your internet stops working, try resetting the damn modem, renewing IP Address, and disabling your Firewall).
3) The benefits of a Firewall/Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software (And what viruses/spyware are and can potentially do to your system, symptom-wise).
4) The difference between "Hard Drive" "CPU" and "PC". They are not synonyms. Basically, what I mean for #4 is that they get the correct information and terminology if they're going to be referring to it. I don't go around calling "hamburgers" "hotdogs".
All I ask is that people read Windows XP for Dummies or the equivalent for their OS before actually going out and purchasing a computer. Yes, they are, for the most part easy to use, but so are cars... though you're required to get a license for a reason. Don't buy a frick'n computer if you don't even know how to run an installer program to walk you through setting up your Anti-Virus. If you want to learn and don't know anything yet, that's fine... then learn. Don't call your ISP when Internet Explorer keeps crashing and asks you to send an error report.
The movies and the series are (in my opinion) detached from one another. The plot doesn't really coincide (timeline wise, anyways). I couldn't tell you more without ruining the plot, but, there are major inconsistencies. In my opinion, I think the movies (both) occur after the series ends (mainly due to plot consistency) though are meant to be seen first (The movie came out before the series).
Though both movies are, again in my opinion, not really meant to be part of the series' plot so much as being little tidbits of insight into understanding the plot of the series better and character development. If you go by release dates, (for the sakes of not fitting the movies in the middle of 2nd GiG, I'll put it in this order):
Ghost in the Shell (Movie), GITS: Stand Alone Complex, GITS: Innocence (Movie), GITS: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GiG.
If you want to go in chronological order (which would make a little more sense):
GITS: Stand Alone Complex, GITS: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GiG, Ghost in the Shell (Movie), GITS: Innocence (Movie).
Obviously our computers are better. Oh, you meant that we... heh, nevermind. I wish I had a girlfriend that was better than my online one. She doesn't put out like she used to... switched to 56k, she did.
Hah... you, good sir, have never tried Taco Bell. If you ever want to get out of work one day and you need proof (or a Doctor's note), just eat a "Cheesy Gordita Crunch".
Yumm Yumm...
... Not until it comes out the other side... or back the top.

I was gonna post something as soon as this story showed up, but I was too busy chatting on MSN. Hm, I'd say something funny right now, but I feel like playing some Quake. Anyways, Uh... I'll think of something later.
So if Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo collude to make their consoles cost $1000 each and games cost a minimum of $150, that would be illegal? I still don't understand how that's any different than any company just setting their prices. Isn't that what the entire concept of Supply and Demand is about? Depending on where you are, you can set the price at what you feel is best, and see what happens? Sure, there's only one Eminem to a record-label, but, hm.. I dunno.
I'm not suggesting anything, including anything with regards to what kind of market is endorsed. I was asking what the problem with "Price Fixing" is, because (the way I understand it), "Price Fixing" is a company setting the price for their product, which is what companies do anyways (?). I mean, sure, prices are competitive and market-driven, but that's because they want to save their asses and not be outdone by another company and therefore lose market-share. But if a company is stupid enough to try and sell you Q-Tips for $1000 each, then, can't people just... not buy it?
Because it'd be pretty funny to see a parent trying to explain to their kids why CNN says Santa is in Philly while Google Earth says he's over Tokyo.
"Well, you see dear... Santa. He's like... God. You know... like, they're tight. Like... You know when, two people are friends. And they're all... 'Can I borrow some powers, and... um.. be all at once at the same time?'. You know... like, all over? And... be able to... give presents, and.. cookies? Yes. Cookies."

... Boy, would it suck to be #13 on that list. Hehe.
If I had mod points, you'd have won yourself over to an infinite resource of +5 E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.S...!

If anything, you'd think backhoes would be the internet's biggest friend. They're the ones who bring in the money.
I was actually thinking that. Wouldn't it mess with a bunch of electronics when you're riding it?

Why call it an MP3 Phone, if it doesn't play MP3s?
... It's still food, just not the food you wanted.
That's like KFC advertising Big Macs but giving you a piece of chicken...
Genius. Fucking Brilliant.
