"Even if they did break off my TSA approved lock that I paid extra for"
They did that to my mother-in-law as she was flying back home from her visit. My theory is that it's easier for the TSA to cut the lock than it is to get the bypass key from a supervisor. Then again, it's easier still to pick or shim the locks open.
The problem with Rage (ipad version) was that it was absolutely stunning until you realized that it was a damn rails shooter. It was still fun for a short time after the realization, but quickly became tedious.
When I can play Red Faction or even San Andreas on a tablet, then I might agree with John.
Poll workers' login and password should be public knowledge?
Actually, it probably is now. I don't just mean the ones on this list, I mean anyone who becomes a poll worker there in the future. Looks like the password is first initial + last initial + last 4 of SSN (although I like to think the 4 digits are a user-supplied PIN).
Usenet? Preposterous--no one's used that fossil internets relic since 1990. The MPAA would be smarter to go after newer technology, like that Napster stuff.
I would take my son if I could afford the extra airfare and $150 DC entry fee for him. Maybe next year.
"Prime targets for criticism include lock picking [...]"
Yeah, it turns out if you practice actual parenting, your kids will be OK with these skills. My son wanted me to make him a set of picks. Since I had already instilled good picking habits in him (don't pick locks you don't own and don't pick locks you rely on), I didn't hesitate to make him some with the extra caveat that they were not to leave the house.
Not if they didn't see the announcement. Maybe it's time for comprehensive warning labels on games. "Notice: this game will not give you any replay value" or "This game has been determined to cause birth defects in babies."
I predict people looking for a bargain will download the warez version when they can't find it in the used game section, though why anyone would want to play RE in the first place is beyond me. What a shitty series.
Slashdot Mirror
It's a one-party system. You voted for the candidate with a slightly different label than the other candidate from this party.
That ought to work out just great:
"HI I'D LIKE A (160dB turbine whine)"
"WHAT?"
"(inaudible)"
This word works great in other contexts as well:
Hurricane Katrina flooding = enhanced swimming.
9/11 = enhanced travel services.
rape = enhanced snuggling.
concentration camps = enhanced lodging.
Now of course I'm not comparing Ubisoft to the holocaust. That would be absurd. Ubisoft is worse than the holocaust.
"Tulalip"?
Why, it practically trips right off the tongue. Then plunges to its death.
I wish the Chinese government were at least partly as zealous about shutting down forum spammers.
Of course the screener wanted to grope that little girl. Look how she was dressed! She was practically asking for an enhanced patdown!

"Is there anything I'm overlooking?"
You're overlooking the irony of asking Slashdot.
Dear Hollywood: Fuck you.

I see hundreds of suggestions but not one for DVL. Shocking.
Three minutes later, the RIAA filed suit against the scientists, claiming "unauthorized public broadcast."
We could just replace sales teams and cold callers with large heaps of festering shit instead. It would be cheaper, and no one would even notice.

Well they can't use .gov, that would be too obvious.
Your sarasm-meter is overdue for its 100,000-mile checkup.
Didn't Google bid more than that, $3.1415 billion? Odd way to run an auction.
"They have blown this way out of proportion"
Welcome to Slashdot! Please "enjoy" your stay.
I don't know. There's no such thing as usenet anyway.

Yay, more useless shit for me to filter out with greasemonkey. Just like Slashdot.
I'd like to not accidentally +1 my midget donkey porn sites, Google. Just let me jerk in peace.
"They can't get a job as a pen-tester or some other legal activity so the only thing that they will use this skill for is illegal."
Please don't breed.
