Actually, slashdot now disregards all first posts, assuming them to be vanguards of the most advanced social memefesting that civilization has to offer these days. Second post, anyone?
Y'know, I wouldn't care about the MS monopoly if their OS was actually decent! Bring on MS Linux, if that's what it takes to go mainstream (have the majority of full commercial games and apps being ported over), and as long as it's still Open Source.:p
I just think people are dumb and illogical whenever they say that -.- It's even more infuriating than people saying 'then' instead of 'than' and vice versa, or mishearing other well known phrases like "all in all" being "all and all" or that kind of thing..
Also if some super-advanced alien race thought of us in the way that we think of mice, then we would object. Though the mice don't really have consciousness on the same level, but I'm sure they don't like pain much!
Does it matter if they don't like it? Scientists are doing this kind of thing (research on mice/rats, not successfully creating a factory for liver cells) all the time. If those PETA people are going to let scientists do research on them, fine, but if not they should STFU and let these scientists help sick people get better - I think that's much more important than making sure that a mouse gets to run around in a sewer. It is a bit 'mean' to research on them like this, sure, but if you keep with that line of reasoning then you just shouldn't ever eat anything, because it's all alive at some point, and we have taken advantage of even the vegetables by planting and harvested their organs.
"Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots. You see, reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one millions terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light, they have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul. damn you! let the rabbits wear glasses, save our brothers...can I get an amen?"
Yeah, I just found it funny is all:P I wouldn't particularly like being tracked everywhere, but as someone mentioned already with cellphones, I pretty much am. I don't have anything to hide at the moment anyway, all I do is go to work, go home, go to work, maybe go to the cinema, go home etc:p
I wouldn't usually call the bible's language 'beautiful'. Maybe some of it. It's obviously a personal choice what to believe:P It is interesting to see that not much has changed in the world in the last several thousand years anyway. If you're stupid enough to think that the book of chronicles, book of kings and all that aren't Jewish historical documents then *shrug* meh
Yep. In Scotland, these guys are commonly known as 'neds', but the worst I've seen happen with laser pointers is someone being a twat while the adverts are on at the cinema:p Seems our delinquents are as well funded as the English ones?;)
"The problem in Windows is that there is no easy way to turn such sharing off"
Go to Control Panel, Networking, Right click on the interface you want to remove sharing from, and remove File and Printer sharing? You talk the talk, but can you walk the walk? (just kidding, I'm one of those mediocre Linux types, though I'd be fine with editing smb.conf now that I know it's there on OS X).
Also you can check your shares by right clicking on My Computer, then choose Manage, then Shared Folders->Shares. Sadly I have come to know more about how to use Windows than any other OS these days, as part of my job._.

"You think it will stop?"
I thought you were talking about frost pist..
Which begs the question, what was he doing in South America? Attending a conference?

lmao.. it's also ironic that if you click on his home page, he lists where he and his family were going to be in July..
I'm going to have to take out trademark and patent on Clitty, your helpful little hentai fixing friend!
I didn't actually, the idea just popped into my head randomly :p

Sounds like a fun toy for terrorists. May as well just get everyone naked and seal up their body cavities before herding them onto the planes
Pfft, it's "just plain cool" - ain't no way it can be unsafe!
/. - how to convert your BB gun to fire 9mm rounds!
Next week on
I think the screen would be more red
Ooh now I have 3 shiny coloured balls next to your name. Funny how some people find the bible so irrelevant but keep feeling the need to refer to it..
A Constantine MMORPG would be pretty awesome.
:p
And it's cherubim
Mmmhmm, if someone thinks that God is going to send them to hell for questioning things, they've not read the Psalms..
Which is as it was intended (obviously)
*looks up Blissey on google*
In case it cooks its egg by mistake
Actually my warrior has closer to 3000HP, but I probably play a different game to you ;)
When your shit has more than 200HP then it's probably useful to know the temperature
Either that, or /. is going downhill? That's the pessimist's view anyway ;)
