Yup. You actually get an EXP bonus if you can type in iambic pentameter.
[Side note, for a gen. ed. in college, i took beginning acting. The prof was old and a little senile, so he would often forget lines when performing. He could, however, freestyle in Shakespearian IP, so unless you actually knew the play by heart you probably wouldnt know.]
Very true - but IMHO support is support. I am not a FLOSS zealot, I just like my OS to be free as in beer and stable. Since iPod is the easiest to get working, I gotta go with it.
True, but you cannot deny that iPod has the best support in Linux. I know that with normal music players you can drag and drop through the file system, but its nice to be able to do it through Amorok/Rhythmbox/Listen like the rest of the world does. Just my $0.02.
I know I go against the HDTV cannon with this, but I find that LCD generates 'more real' color for me. To me, Plasmas, even when set up well, overdo colors to the point where everyone looks like they are in 'Madagascar'. With the exception of really dark scenes, I find that LCD just looks more realistic to me
I agree with you - there are a few things oversimplified in Ubuntu ['s version of GNOME]. That said, I still love it, and don't get too bothered at the lack of advanced options. I left KDE because there were too many ways to do whatever I wanted. i.e. - setting up the kicker... there were at least three different menu paths i coudl follow to pull up different applications (all loaded at first boot) that could change some, but not all of its options. some programs could change options that others could not, no programs could change them all. It got so maddening I decided to try Ubuntu... and I haven't gone back.
Nations that have rational rulers don't use nukes because of mutually assured destruction. Countries ruled by nutbags like Kim Jong-il will certainly use it given the opportunity and half a reason because they believe their country invincable.
Oil companies claim the backers of Prop 87, some of them venture capitalists, would profit from state money flowing into the alternative-energy projects they are funding.
It would be a shame for somebody to profit from something ethical and/or useful.
Deaf people also have spent much [or all] of their life compensating for their lack of hearing. Some jackass wearing headphones in his car while driving has not, and is a danger to others.
1. Simply sell their console to themselves at the typical loss. 2. Then sell them on ebay for the price people are actually willing to pay. 3.... 4. Profit!!!!!
Please use the appropriate 'numbered list appending ellipsis and Profit!!!!!' format in the future.
I agree that both have their use. Hard games are there to challenge us and stimulate our competitive senses. I do enjoy easier plodding along games as well, as they are good for relaxing.
Doom 3 was a challenging game. It was awesome. However, found that I had to stop playing it during the week. After stressing out all day, the last thing that was a good idea for me was coming home to pants-crapping session. So Doom became a weekend game for me. Easier games are good for me when I just want to pop a beer and play around for a bit.
I dont care about the information being secure. I just don't want *everything* broadcast.
Consider: You get wedding announcements. Ever get a divorce announcement? No. The two involved don't care if you find out (normally) but do not go around flaunting it (if they have class).
I don't see this as a security issue, as i really don't care if everyone on Earth knows that I french kissed Kelly Kapowski. I just want to be able to pick and choose what gets sent to everyone.
Its not the fact that they can see it, it is the fact that it is *broadcast* that makes it bad. I don't care that people I know find out that I break up with a girl, but I don't want it to be sent RSS style to everyone I know. They will find out in time, but preferably not all the next time they log to facebook. The old way, sure you were posting it on the internet, but there was a certain anonymnity to be found in the data overload of facebook. Now that changes are highlighted, its too easy.
Also, others are allowed to submit content to your page (like to my wall). If they do, I may want time to respond to it before all of my friends read it. Sure, the old way one or two might see it, but that risk is low.
This funtionality, if cut back, would be very useful. A notification of when friends put up new pictures would be great. Some things should be exempt from the feed, or at least have the option to have them never broadcast, so that they can fly 'under the radar'.
I am sure the PS3 will have a successful launch and sell a lot of consoles for this years Christmas (if they make it in time...)
However, unless things change between now and then, I think many consumers will regret their decision when they realize how little they recieved for how much they payed. I don't know many people that think the PSP is the best handheld they own right now, even if the only other 'current-ish' one is a GBA. It has amazing graphics, but just tried to be way too much.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm hoping to get forked this weekend. [rimshot]
I flerb my blerfs daily. Why wouldn't they want to do the same?
Once they install Dapper, the OS will inform them that Edgy is out there, if they choose to upgrade.
Yeah, in the KJV, probably one of the most inaccurate translations made thusfar.

Did they go down the wrong tube? If they did, maybe thats why my internets are not getting through...

When did life experience become tangible?

Someone who becomes so obsessed with a videogame that it becomes a serious addiction couldn't have had that much of a life to wreck....
Or more directly, why not add the PS3 support into the kernel so that all distros can use it?

I agree, it wasn't a sequel or a expansion. It was a new game in the same story-world.
And it should have been named "Yuna's Magical Hot-pants Adventure."
Man, I really wish their game wasn't as good as it is. And to think they gave me *more* game than they advertised! Oh, what false advertising is this?
I demand my crappy games back that I beat in a week.
In other news, Phillip Morris has announced that cigarettes are not harmful to your health.

What you meant to write was:

1. Simply sell their console to themselves at the typical loss.
2. Then sell them on ebay for the price people are actually willing to pay.
3.
4. Profit!!!!!

1)True, I looked into that, but I couldnt get the movies to run if they were longer than 15 minutes anyway.
2)That is correct. Work is distracting me from slashdot.
