You are aware there is more than one potential crime and not everything that ever happens in the universe (or georgia) is lumped under "Sex Crimes Involving Minors In Some Way: 10 Years!", right? If you disagree, consult a senator.
And to take this a step further, the "obvious, but nobody else wanted to" of this patent would make it more like patenting a business model- which I'm pretty sure isnt patentable (do correct me if I'm wrong, I very well might be)
This was never a "pfft, I've done that before", it's always been a "pfft, that's fucking obvious. Just because you're the first person who wanted to make a website without a "yes, I'm sure" button, doesnt make your idea creative or original"

There's no way the lameness filter will let that by, is there?:/
seems just the opposite here. Body modification is considered a sign of a highly insecure individual, and if you're so insecure about yourself that you feel the need to change your outward appearance, your actual ability probably isnt something you're too proud of. But then I'm talking about people with foot-long earlobes, not people with long hair. Still, if your hair is 6' long, it still seems you're making too much a point of it. Anything can be "gotten used to", this isnt about discrimination. This is about someone being so insecure about themselves they've chosen to ram spikes through their face.
(If you consider shaving a sign of insecurity, there's no reason not to hire only people with beards, too)
Bittorrent Search could be slower than normal bittorrent usage, if these techniques are used (though I personally find that my download speeds are abysmally slow until I have enough segments to upload too, this "new user window" the report talks about could be a figment of the author's imagination) But this will not effect Bittorrent Itself. Bittorrent remains useful for legitimate downloads- of the type that people will be downloading the.torrents for from a website that's trying to provide files for people. Bittorrent may not become more useful because of searching, but it wont become less useful.
I posted a unique (as in, hand-written every time) paragraph expressing my distaste below each (otherwise relevent) post I made (above my signature), until they were no longer required for registered users who floated between decent and excellent karma (I dont know if its required for habitual trolls, but it's not required for me, which is the point)
Point being: you dont like it? Complain at the bottom of your otherwise relevent post, rather than posting something completely off topic.
But then, is a reply to an off-topic reply off-topic? I personally dont believe so, since it doesnt create a new thread or anything. (that is, I dont think you're ever off-topic if you're on the topic that you're replying to). But personally, I dont mind if a moderator is an idiot every now and then, because I would much rather have one of my posts get a meaningless rating attached to it which effects another meaningless rating than to post anonymously(*another meaningless act which accomplishes nothing other than to take away the ability to easily read replies to your own posts, pretty much making anything you say tripply meaningless)
So, just to keep score: - CAPCHAS Suck. - ACs Suck. - Moderators Suck. - People who browse at anything above -1 suck. - Slashdot is "making its website Less Accessible", not "Preventing opinions it doesnt agree with from being heard"

I think there should be customizable skins, those make everything better.
If IE came pre-loaded with the most popular plugins (Flash, Quicktime), so that the majority of people would have no reason to ever turn off the reduced privledge mode, as opposed to turning it off several times soon after they have gotten their initial installation, it may work. If people are immediately conditioned that turning off reduced privledge mode is something that you need to do in order to get your browser to work right, then this will do nothing.
Of course, simply never allowing write-access to anything but/cookies-and-bookmarks on a kernel-level might help too
OMFG THAT IS THE EXACT SAME THING AND IS ALWAYS DOONE INTHE EXACT SAME POSITION AND IS HTE SAEM SIZE AND AT THE SAEM DESTINNCE!! U R SO RIHGT!!!
Don't use so many caps, It's like YELLING. Of course, most people know that, and only use caps when they are trying to give the impression of yelling a lot, usually to make fun of the person they are replying to.
Hey! Let's put a line down the middle of where I look! Great idea!
CRTs are getting cheaper and cheaper- and often have better resolution (and certainly more support for different resolutions, in case you *gasp* want to change resolutions sometimes.)
Odd numbers only, please. You _need_ unobstructed view in the center.
I was grouping interactive fiction into the pac-man catagory. (collect the dots)
I am a fan, though not as much as I was before graphics. (now when I want to read a bunch of text, I use a book. When I want a good story with a couple game elements thrown in every now and then, I play an RPG). Most of my IF fandom is just nostalgia.
"stuck on the same level of Pacman" you say? Have you ever actually played Pac-man? It's all the same level. It is a simple, fun game. With only one level.
Yes, the story in San Andreas was much better than the story in Vice City. But the improvements to the game itself, ignoring the story (and side-missions), were such that I can't even stand to play Vice City anymore. Sure, it's like playing GTA III version 1.3-11 Alpha, but that doesnt make it a bad game. Grand Theft Auto is progressing in exactly the direction games should progress: More Complexity. Enough Complexity that, if you want to, you can play a very simple game. It's like if Pac-man could decide one day: "You know what? Fuck dots.", jump over the wall, and decide to play pong instead. (Pong, another fun single-level game)
Yes, being innovative is the point, but the argument that GTA is too complex is just completely wrong. It's not innovative, but it certainly isnt too complex. It is still pac-man. As are most games. Whether the dots be people, guns, healing potions, completely random objects- yes, Katamari Damacy, which so many people think is so original and unique, is on a fundamental level exactly the same as San Andreas and Zelda. They are all Pacman. They are all "run around collect the dots" games. This does not make them bad. This makes them, at their root, have a simplicity which anyone can pick up on. Think the STORY makes it too complex? Here's a hint: hold down the "X" button when people are talking. In most games, this will skip over the dialog and revert to pacman. There is no "length" to a game which can be entered from any point, played forever, and left at any point. (This is why I say he doesnt know anything about games)
Sure, I long for a game where you run around a sphere planting concepts and seeing them bloom fractally to connect with new spheres until you have formed a rational thought which can be collapsed in on itself to tunnel into a twisted new world of strange and startling topologies... but until anyone can wrap their head around that one, we're going to be stuck with: Pac-man (collect the dots), Pong (make the dot fly in the general direction of your opponent), and a few others such as racing (Follow the path! Now _THAT'S_ fun!), Rhythm(I enjoy it, but how much more can you innovate besides coming up with new peripherals?), and "Build the object to perform a task"(a genre which I think has not been explored nearly enough, and which I believe will expand rapidly as technologies increase. These are still in their barest infancy right now, despite how old they are)
The great thing about games like GTA: If you dont want to follow the story and engage yourself in the whole big expansive thing, you dont need to dedicate any time at all to that. You can get into a car and drive. The best description of GTA is: "It's Pac-Man, except the dots are people." This is completely, 100% accurate. The police even make the same "Woo-woo" sound. GTA is Pac-man that people who like big expansive games that require dedication can ALSO play. But they are certainly not the only people who can play the game. Of the several people I know who play GTA, only a couple of them have bothered with the story mode- most just drive around and avoid the cops, trying to get the most stars or the longest distance before getting wasted. Someone who says GTA is too long doesnt know anything at all about videogames. (yeah, I know)

I read the question and chose to mock the needless complexity(and odd specificity) of what was being asked for.

You know, like everyone else.
Hey look! A moderator who didnt watch the movie and/or hasnt played a video game in ten years!
isnt "mundane-science fiction" just called "fiction"?
"We hooked Jedi Knight up to a VCR through the video-out on an old 386. Check out the INCREDIBLE results!"

IF you go to a peep show, have you posessed the peep show?
