I think my youngest was 12 when I did those, I recorded her singing "Grandpa got dismembered by a shambler" and "I saw Mommie Fragging Santa Claus" and posted MP3s.
The ex freaked out over the second one; it had someone in a Kenny skin getting fragged with a sample from South Park saying "you bastard!" The future Evil-X was not amused. "That better not be one of MY kids!"
300 years isn't that long as the human race is concerned
That's HALF LIFE. It's going to be nasty for a lot longer than 300 years.
And 300 years is a long time as far the human race is concerned. 300 year ago there was no United States, no Israel, no Yugoslavia. No electricity, nothing that used electricity, no internal combustion engines (except for a few steam powered toys).
Most everything in the room you're in didn't exist 300 year ago. The term "half life" wouldn't be coined for another 200 years.
What effect will using the tide have on the environment?
A whole lot less than spewing dirt and radioactivity, I'd gather.
Ships sink, it seems likely such an occurance could muck up any power generation based on the tides.
They're already doing it; it works.
Ahh, nice strawman. Trying to divert the conversation further off course. The arguement was about quality, not how newer items are made
You were arguing about PRICE. Speaking of straw men, your straw troll is on fire and I think I'll just let him smolder.
Sssh, don't tell anybody but it was an OLD JOKE. I was never a great Quake player but even I got accused of being a bot at times!
Now I see why sometimes when I'm shooting for "funny" I get "+5 insightful." So just to prevent that from happening I'm reprinting one of the Christmas Carols I ran every December back in the now-defunct "Springfield Fragfest" (it's still at archive.org, or at least a lot of it is). I hope I don't get the lame "You have too few characters per line" lame filter. Give it a bit of thought and you'll see how it relates to bots.
Rudolph the four legged Stroggie Had a very deadly tongue And if you ever saw it, You would prolly die real young.
All of the other stroggies Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any deathmatch games
Then one bloody Christmas eve Shambler came to say Rudolph with your tongue so long Come take care of Dennis Fong
Then all the stroggies loved him And they shouted out with glee Rudolph the four legged stroggie Come on up and play with me!
"In these enlightened days, of course, nobody believes a word of it". -HitchHiker's Giude on Magrathea, which seems a very good metaphor for Microsoft.
In short, Microsoft is developing a solution in search of a problem.
That's what marketers do. Sell the sizzle, not the steak. Some ads can even make a product's suckyness a selling point. Consider these automobile ads:
At Pontiac, we build excitement! (Brakes are bad and teh handling sucks)
Chevy, like a rock (damned thing won't start)
At Ford, Quality is Job one! (they have their work cut out for them)
-mcgrew (speaking of ads, here's one: new journal today. It's about the eclipse last Wednesday. There are no hookers or sex in it, but it does feature a violent lunatic)
So, how does that effect physics now that you've established that infinity is equal to 30,000 years?
I didn't say infinity, I said forever. "3. an endless or seemingly endless period of time: It took them forever to make up their minds." As far as a human life is concerned, a copyright lasts forever.
Yes, wonderful. Lets have power sources where regional events will severely limit the power produced. I don't know about where you live, but in Vermont, the wind doesn't always blow, and the sun doesn't always shine.
The tide always goes up and down. You can store the energey you get from solar and wind (which is actually solar). Fit your energy to your region.
And I bet the exact same washer today would cost you less, correct?
Of course; they're made in China by slave labor now. Maytag closed their last US factory last year. And what does that have to do with good tech vs bad tech?
For colored / button shirts
Did you actually TRFA? It specifically said T-SHIRTS. Button shirts aren't any different than they ever were.
Oh, like a CPU or graphics card? Oh wait. Yes, as things get more complex, you'll lose the ability to DIY and they become more expensive to maintain. Oh well. Do you think you should be able to do your own heart surgery too?
That was likely the dumbest thing I've heard anybody say all week. Nice that you not only can't grasp a point, but seem to run screaming from it.
I used to be heavily into Quake (the domain the archive.org link was far has long since lapsed; I think it's a porn site now). The games are fun. And "dying" in the game is part of the fun!
The worst part about Quake was when the shambler pisses on you carpet. Ok, that only happened at my site, in the daily updates that were not too unlike my slashdot journals. Today's has a lunatic attempting murder, if you can believe that.
Whoever did this poor excuse for a study needs to fail whatever course he was taking.
hulkawire frags webmasters
Went out Friday night, and when we got back, windoze didn't know the PC had a modem.
"What did you do to my computer?!?!" Heh heh, the modem's in Becky's PC. I felt sorry for the kids. "Leila was on it after I was!" Leila was asleep.
Of course, I have to fix it. Damned plug n pray, windoze would only install the stupid modem into a port it was already using.
It was pretty late before I could get windoze to understand that it was supposed to see not only a modem but another port. Which is why there was no nooze yesterday.
So when I did get online, I found I had not only lots of mail, but more than I expected.
Hulkawire is online! I may never have to surf for nooze again!
If you have a gaming news page, you owe it to yourself to go there. Here are a few tidbits of FPSers:
Gibworld is reviewing Earth worm Jim. Here's a quote- "...some sound effects are played FAR too much! The waiter aliens, for example, squeak as they walk, and in a small gang of them can sound like somebody sexually molesting a dog's chewy toy."
If you're a UO2 fan, The Nethergate opened its "doors" as the newest Ultima Online 2 fan site.
PC Paradox has another editorial. The article is a little rant about the age old topic of UT vs. Q3. Sure it's been beaten to death, but so what? Get out your whips and flog the dirt where the decomposed horse used to be, and may the best FPS win!
The Frag Pipe has just added an additional 9 Team Fortress 2 Screen Shots, having a total of 67 Screen Shots. They also have a calendar by Marc Lange available for download. 1/30/2000
You're laboring under several illusons. The first illusion is that spending 9.7 million on a fucking album is a good idea. My friends have their CDs recorded, mastered, and manufactured (including cover art, etc) for a couple thousand. It roesn't take millions to make an album like it did back in the sixties.
The second illusion is that those who "pirate" don't buy. The fact (supported by statistics) is that downloaders spend more on music than non-downloaders.
That hinges on the third fallacy, that downloading costs a sale. If I don't like Wierd Al but someone talks me into listening to a Wierd Al song, I may change my mind. I'm not going to buy music I've never heard.
Show me proof that downloaders cost artists money and I may change my mind, but every study I've heard of says exactly the opposite.
Maybe three out of five songs played on mainstream radio stations are by rappers who advocate smoking pot
I don't listen to rap. I thought rappers sang about smoking crack and shooting policemen and how all women are whores?
And in San Francisco, where I live, if you have the right kind of ID card you can walk down to a store and buy seven different kinds of pot, hash, and whatever paraphernalia you want over the counter. None of this was true in the illustrious 1970s
Actually head shops were all over in the 1970s and you could get any kind of paraphernalia you wanted, including the stuff that prompted the Ashcroft bust a couple of years ago where Tommy Chong was jailed. No longer; the single remaining head shop here sells mostly t-shirts now.
San Fransisco isn't America. It's only a very tiny part of America. And it's completely unlike anywhere else in America. If everybody smokes pot then why isn't it legal?
So tell me, what's the half-life of the spent fuel? I'd read it was 30,000 years. Since that's longer than recorded history, It's pretty much forever as far as human civilization is concerned.
Yes, I'm aware that coal plants spew radioactivity, as well as mercury and other even nastier things. I'd like to see my electricity come from solar, wind, etc.
I paid $650 for my Maytag washer, but that was twenty years ago. Your shirts "fit" because you're young and used to t-shirts that ride your adam's apple. And I like my car's airbags, fuel injection, rear heater/AC, power windows etc; I just wish it were able to be eaily and cheaply repaired.
The links aren't rants against new technology. On the contrary, I like new technology. I just don't like useful technology to die and don't like bad technology to stick around.
There's no milk in my fridge but there are three cats in my house. The cats eat cat food.
What would a single man use milk for? At three dollars a gallon it would be cheaper to feed them gasoline. The only time I have milk in the fridge is when there's a woman living there. And it usually turns into stinky cottage cheese before it's half empty.
Befor you ask, they're my daughter's cats. I got stuck with them when she moved to Ohio with her fiancee.
Yes, I am reading the maximum pressure. The recomended pressure is 40, but going with the tire's max gives me better gas mileage and it seems to handle better. They're sixteen inch tires iinm.

...if dumb lawsuits slowly disappear, where will I get my humor from on /.?
There's always Cowboy Neal, the USSR, Linux, and a beowolf cluster of hot grits. And Microsoft, spelled with a "$". And don't forget the iPoop.
Ok, is there anybody left I haven't offended with this inane comment?

"In these enlightened days, of course, nobody believes a word of it". -HitchHiker's Giude on Magrathea, which seems a very good metaphor for Microsoft.
Hey Microsoft! Here's a radically new marketing strategy for you!
Make a secure operating system that works!! Think of the money you'd make!!
Microsoft (looking at Linux): "Er, uh, HUH??? How?"
In short, Microsoft is developing a solution in search of a problem.
That's what marketers do. Sell the sizzle, not the steak. Some ads can even make a product's suckyness a selling point. Consider these automobile ads:

I think that perhaps click through addds...
Perhaps that was a typo, but if so it was a rather clever one on several levels.
I have lots of ads but you can't click on them. They're on TV, the radio, in the newspaper, on billboards, and on walls.
Hell, well lookey here, there's even an ad here at slashdot for my journal! How in the hell did that get there? Damn!

Flamebait? Ouch! It seems the mods have eaten kimchi. Does that to my ass on its way out, too ;).
Mexican is worse though.
Having "friends" that pay attention to you is a huge plus for geeks.
Having friends that pay attention to you is a huge plus for anybody.
There are some people who are almost inhuman in their ability to aim with a mouse.
Those "people" are more properly called "bots".
Well for me, it's travelling towards the light, then seeing all my long-dead friends and relatives.
The searing heat is a bother though. Wish they'd install air conditioning.

I've known a couple suicidal people that, when brought back to a more sane state of mind, were extremely caring about those around them.
:D
I didn't say suicides were the most selfish people. I said suicide was the most selfish act.
You've essentially possibly saved a life, and saved many other lives from a great deal of pain.
I try to be a good man. Sometimes I fail miserably though.
Dude, you really don't want me to meet your sister!

Nobody is out to get you.
Nobody but the DEA, the FBI, and the local police. In fact all three of them accosted me at once last summer.
everybody in America smokes pot. Everybody.
