B&W won't run on some win2k installations due to shoddy SafeDisk (which has been cracked for some time, by the way...B&W was released as an ISO and warez rip a couple of months ago already). My advice to people who bought SafeDisk-bugged games and can't return them due to (possibly illegal) anti-consumer return policies is to seek out the pirated versions and grab the crack. It's your right as a consumer to get some use out of what you buy, no matter what the corps try to tell you.
The reason he didn't review the actual game--and instead bitched about the bugs--is that he couldn't get the buggy piece of shit to run. Perhaps reading the articles before breaking your neck to get a post up would help in the future.
The Lone Gunmen was starting to get on my nerves. Every other episode had someone wearing what looked like an orthodontic retainer that changed their voice (complete with poor lip-synching), and the writers seemed to use whatever convenient and lazy way they could come up with to bring the woman with the British accent into the show. There were one or two decent episodes in there, but in the end, I'm more disappointed with the cancellation of Moesha (rimshot) than I am with that of TLG.
I just wish Chris Carter could come up with something other than the X-Files that doesn't bomb immediately like his last two series did.
If you aren't camping you have nothing to worry about.
We already know the drivers exist. Holding them back now only means that someone else will implement it in the near future. Why put off the inevitable? The people who would use this to cheat are the same losers who cheat using other methods anyway.
...and neither are the vast majority of people on Slashdot. Even the ones who are lawyers will probably tell you what I'm about to: go consult a real, live lawyer face-to-face.
I'm always amazed by the number of people who want legal advice from a public forum. Would you take a particle physics problem to a mechanic? Talk to someone who actually knows the legal system.
Wild speculation that Mars was a moon that broke off from another world, where we were part of the same species as the supposed Martian inhabitants (who used the "moon" as a grafitti wall) is not, in any sense of the word, a theory. It's not even a hypothesis. Hell, it doesn't even qualify as a reasonable *guess*, and that's putting it mildly.
These people are fucking kooks, and *that's* putting it mildly too.
It saddens me that Sir Arthur Clarke, once a respected author and a serious skeptic (he got me started on the path of skepticism with his TV show, which debunked many "puzzles" of the time), could be taken in so easily by Hoagland. If you've ever heard Hoagland speak, you know he's a kook and conspiracy theorist of the highest order. Sir Clarke's comments on Mars have gotten increasingly bizarre over the years, but his comment, "what other interpretation [besides intelligent life] could there be [for the "structures" on Mars]?" tells me that this man, once dedicated to the path of science, has truly lost his mental acuity.
Mars suffered of some weird phenomena that wiped out most of its surface water in very short time
That "weird phenomena" [sic] is the fact that Mars' atmosphere is so thin that liquid water can't possibly exist at the surface--it would boil away. And good science is good science; bad science doesn't need NASA's "lies" to be considered bad.

3. Repeat unprofessional conduct with all the other companies you submit losing bids to.
Sullivan: Your Honor, the judgment below has cast such a chill throughout the scientific community that professors such as Professor Felton of Princeton, who was one of the witnesses below, have stopped speaking at scientific conferences, lest the recording industry bring actions against him. The idea that there would be wide discussion of alternative technologies to protect this is itself questionable now that this chill has been cast, but let me just suggest there's one narrower way you might go. We suggest that you vacate the judgment below, that you reverse the judgment below and vacate the injunction in its entirety, but should you disagree with that, you should at least make a belinking[?] - the anti-linking provisions of the injunction which are of the District Court's own invention and go far beyond the statutory terms of 1201(a)(2). He said that you can't even post instructions on how to get to DeCSS - an address.
Judge: No, he didn't say "You can't." He said "This defendant can't."
Sullivan: He said, "This defendant can't."
Judge: He didn't say "The world can't."
Sullivan: That's correct, Your Honor.
Judge: And most of the briefing here is as if he issued a worldwide injunction. If it was a defendant class of all journalists, professors, researchers, citizens of the world - it's a very precise injunction.
And the lawyer didn't even mention the fact that the MPAA's threatening letters use the injunction to try to intimidate others who post links, as if it were, in fact, a worldwide injunction. Pity.
Here's an intersting fact about the population of the planet (I read it on the internet - it must be true). If you take every person on the Earth. Every Living soul. Give each family a house with a small yard. You could pack them all into the state of Texas. I'm not saying that this is a good idea, just that you could do it.
You sure could. That would be a dandy solution to the overpopulation problem if no one ate or drank after the first generation.
Each one of those people would receive less than 0.3 of an acre of land. Humans generally need a minimum of 0.2 acres of arable land to live. Only about 11% of the earth's surface is made up of arable land. Sounds to me like we're starting to fill up the planet.
Not that I'm a tree hugger, but overpopulation is definitely a very real and looming problem. I don't think we can ignore it much longer. A few wars or plagues would really help out. (Attention moderators: I'm serious, and this isn't flamebait.)
If I had any moderator points left, I'd mod you back up to counter the idiot who marked your article "flamebait," apparently with no understanding of what you said.
Unfortunately, we just come up with vaccines and medication to control diseases. This allows the weak to flourish amid an environment that would otherwise destroy them.
Oh, hey, no problem. At the rate organisms are building up resistances to our antibiotics and vaccines we'll be back to dying off in droves in no time.
