"Nice country you got here, New Zealand (*knocks framed picture off desk*). Oops, sorry about that. Accidents happen from time to time, if you catch my drift. Say, I hear you're drafting some new patent law. Why don't my boys here go over it with you to check for grammar and the like?"
The newest version of Flash is a crashy piece of fucking shit. Flash has always sucked, but the latest release sucks just that much more. I wish it would die a fast death.
Meh, that's just a typo. The glaringly terrible grammar of the headline is much worse. I don't know why they're using an Apollo-like capsule in the Baltic sea when a submarine would be better suited for the job, nor why this sea capsule would need a "launch escape system."
If the translation is of the same quality Google Translate usually produces, your girlfriend is wondering why the US is invading the Red Sea with an autonomous sorcery platform.
to be fair, 400 of those extras are hotel union staff who stand around and get surly if you try to move your own conference table two inches to the right because it's blocking access to your heart medication.
And it is my understanding that this was someone without a felony record. So did he get his gun through private sale? If so, and if there were new laws mandating background checks and waiting periods on private sales, would he have just said no, or would he have made his plans farther in advance?
Regardless of the gun control laws, I have a friend in the area who was burglarized and lost two legally registered handguns. Would stronger background checks have prevented that?
Background checks and waiting periods? We have those.
Outright banning of all gun sales? They still exist, and felons still manage to get them.
Dismantling the weapons industry entirely, destroying all existing stock, rooting out all hidden stock, brain-wiping knowledge of gunpowder from citizens' minds? Good luck.
I've been noticing the same trend lately. There are still many games coming out with good writing, but the majority of "AAA titles" I've seen in the past couple of years have been forgettable, generic shit. For instance, the least Tom Clancy could do if he's going to slap his name on something is supply a gripping plot. I just finished Future Soldier a couple of weeks ago, and the only thing I could tell you about the plot is that some Special Forces people got bombed in the faces, and something about Russian dissidents.

Something like "The Internet," perhaps.

"Mozilla says they have 'now plugged the main cause of memory leaks in Firefox add-ons.' "
They've been claiming something like this for 13 versions. I'll believe it when I see it.
"Please explain to me why I should trust Joe Blow Consumer and his paranoid ability to ruin the market viability of my preferred product"
Who says you have to? If you want to eat GM food, eat it.
This isn't fucking rocket science.
It didn't help that the game itself was generic and shitty either.
Would Hemingway have been Hemingway without the depression and alcoholism?
I don't know, and neither does this guy.
It COULD mean many things, but congratulations on failing to skim the summary.
If anyone thinks the scumbag insurance companies are going to give anyone a 20% discount, I have some prime swamp land for you.
"Bible and Quran apps are a major feature of the Nigerian mobile content market."
Worst casual games ever.
Quick, everyone flood the poll with "your mom."
Your sense-of-humor module seems to be broken, Aspiebot!
"Is Sexual Harassment Part of Hacker Culture?"
Nope.
Are all Slashdot pop quizzes this easy?

"does anyone have good ideas on how to best protect data without it leaving the site?"
If it's not leaving the site, you aren't protecting it. At the very least, get a few portable drives and rotate backups to a relative's house.
Hmm. I thought Piers Anthony-itis was where you pad that novelette out over about thirty or forty books.
No, shut up. Ixnay. Sssh.

"rights holders reckon it halved the number of infringements in the first month."
CORRECTION: half of your prior offenders got sneakier.
"7500 show up, but 8000 in attendance hmmmmmmm."

Define "better."

I'm having trouble seeing how only one McDonalds could have stale food when every one of them uses the exact same bland, flash-frozen shit.
