Oh Really? So you are telling me that women/people in general living in some countries run by Islamic Dictators have all the same rights as women do in the Land of The Free? I hope you aren't trying to tell me that, because it simply is not true.
Not so sure about the copyright thing, but yeah, seeing what the 'free' world has to offer(via the internet) has to, at some point, make keeping the women locked up and living without religious freedom, etc. not such a cool way to live. As the generations begin to see this, maybe they will slowly change the way things are done. Or take Iran for example. Their leader could try and nuke somebody (Israel),or the people who run the world (NOT the U.S. govt, the guys above that - the ones who are really runnig things) could decide they've had enough and they'll get a new government a little faster.
Sweet, I've gone all these years thinking my older sister was some kind of freak, the way she would flail her arms out in front of her back and forth, and up and down while playing atari 2600. Now I can relax. But that is funny. Me, i wanted that thing (controller) strapped to my leg or the floor or anything that would make it feel 'solid'.
TFA: Re-installation of a Windows system took us easily two full days to get the system completely up and running again: installation of the OS, all drivers and all applications and the tweaking of it all. Getting the system in a similar state of usability takes with Mandriva about half a day.
huh? 2 days? Maybe I just don't use enough applications (it is for sure tweaked for optimum gaming performance ~ 'tweakguides'), but 2 days is quite a stretch. More like half to three quarters of a day.
Sorta Off Topic: For all the talk of security threats and ease of "upkeep", for a moderate to advance user (which is, from what i've heard, what you have to be to use *nix) Windows XP pro 64-bit isn't hard to keep clean and secure, at least for me.
Much like the smug AC that you are, you missed everyone elses point. LIFE is bad for you, People are violent and do drugs. Sex, certain drugs(alcohol) in moderation, etc. pose not much greater of a risk than being born and living for 75 years. Just like video games pose not much greater of a risk of causing violence than living does.
No empirical evidence? But ancient writings are empirical evidence! What evidence is there for true randomness?
I am sorry for the off topic, but I must reply to this sig.

So, you are saying that 2000 years from now (when this writing is ancient) that this will be empirical evidence that the Flying Spaghetti Monster actually did create the universe?
If you ask me, something had to create the universe (or create something somewhere along the line), but there is absolutely no evidence, empirical or otherwise.

Now that we've heard from every single fucking person who hasn't used windows since blah blah fucking blah.....
I think South Park could have used Mac users in place of Hybrid car owners in the 'smug' episode. Sheesh.
There is only one thing I have against Mac's: Listening to FANBOYS. Christ it's revolting. I'm sure there are multiple times more Windows FANBOYS out there and I guess they would be even more annoying, but fuck, give it a rest. WE KNOW, your OS is the BEST!!!!
That reminds me: Gov. Bush's latest manifesto, like all the ones that preceded it, is a consummate anthology of disastrously bad writing teeming with misquotations and inaccuracies, an odyssey of anecdotes that are occasionally entertaining, but certainly not informative.

Actually, from reading your link, it looks like the error brought it back to the original:
Aluminium, for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound. (Q. Review VIII. 72, 1812)
While this did show my typical American ignorance , I wasn't being facetious. I do like the sound of the word. I will, however, stick with the true original name aluminum.
Alright, I am embarrassed to post this, but I really can't tell if you (gEvil) are joking or not. I was going to go to town making fun of someone correcting grammar.... but then, I thought of myself, 'you moron, do you lack any grain of comedic sensibility?'

I never said their life wasn't worth as much as women in the U.S.A. I never said they should be nuked. Learn to read.

It simply is not true that people in the countries you mentioned live like we do in the U.S.A. Free.
Here's just one article that proves you wrong: http://www.amnestyusa.org/countries/iran/document. do?id=BC7ABDB06436BBB9802569A500714EF4

Too bad you aren't an apple fanboy, the post deserves to be modded up (insightful anyone?)
Yes, this is called 'folding space'. To keep the information intact, you need The Spice.

Congratu-fucking-lations! The Parent Czar has spoken, we can now end this thread.

So now informative means redundant and totally fucking boring?
Sorry, also put in "doing drugs" along with causes violence.
2) Obviously there is/has been violence at football games (but I doubt the causation between the two is 100%).
3) There is no proof that video games cause violence (at least no more of a percentage of causation than simply being alive causes violence).
Therefore, videogamers DO have a right to protest such a horrible unintelligent study.

I'd say it's the nerds who think it is important.

douche \doosh\: Anyone who actually believes this post.
So you can see this cloud of smug here, originating over San Francisco, is moving towards this new smug cloud eminating from a slashdot post here...
Yeah, there is global warming. You are right.
