I think that they should enforce laws, like in china where your account only lets you play 3-4 hours a night max.
So you like China's way of regulating what people do in their free time? So, if China is so good, why not move there? Hmm? Because you only like when you get your way totally. You are what people call a "busy body" - the type that run HOAs that measure the neighbors grass and charge people 3000$ when their driveway has a crack in it.
Be careful what you wish for. I think people like you spouting off at how others are so unproductive and useless is nothing but annoying and useless, but you don't see me saying I want you to go back to the plastic plant and put in 4 more hours just because your spouting is pointless fluff. But maybe if you had your way, I would be more inclined to force my views on you. Then all we have is a holy war of busy bodies each thinking each other is useless, wasting their time fighting. How does this get things done, again? Oh right, they are killing each other and wasting time, not playing a damn game and doing it,/sorry/.
I hate to tell you, but life itself is a game. And not a fun one at that. If your mom has found some type of meaning in a MMORPG, then go her. It's more then she would have had listening to you whine about how you got a B on math I would guess.
But no, you push her aside. I am seeing a patten: "you are doing something pointless" (push away), they do it more (push away), repeat. You are not helping. Your Maoist laws, not helping. Need to see how your laws failed? Look at Stalin, Hitler, that Japanese guy.... and yourself. What have you accomplished that is so righteous and good? Nothing.
And with your closed mindedness and dislike of things you don't do, you will keep doing nothing. And then you will look back, and say "my life sucked... I have this big house... I am respected by all... but it sucks", then you are dead. Game over!
Have fun while you can, life is only a game, if you are not having fun, you are doing it wrong. Those who spout self-righteous BS normally are the type of people who can't understand what fun is, and are those whom in the end fail.
Well, if you are smart enough to bypass the kiddie block (not that it's hard, mind you) then I'd say you are at least cunning enough to survive. Just being over 13 doesn't mean you are smart. Maybe we need an IQ test and not an age test, eh?
Isn't there something called a "parent" that makes overbaring laws in this respect unneeded? Call this BS law does is make the lazy parents more lazy then before.
OK, I've been running windows XP without reinstalling it for over 3 years.
You are one of the lucky few. I have had to reinstall my XP at least 6 times since I changed to XP. No, none were virus related. All failing system files/reg.
Learn Ambidexterity. I am right handed but learned to do many things with ether hand. It's not that hard once you get used to it. If you really have a hard time, use both hands (ie, 2 hands on a mouse/pen) and change to just the other. You'll be using both soon. It can really impress people.:P
Eh, why not? Can't go worse then Iraq. At least the Canada doesn't know how to build donkey-bombs. So long as Bush is looking elsewhere, things are looking up at home. Excpet when it's him and only him. Gotta take the great white hunter (ie, Dicky boy) with him, too.
Changing to a new OS is a big thing for most people. Using Yahoo/Ask/Msn and not Google is rather trivial. I mean, I know people who started using MSN just because it was added to the MSN home page. Not that the Evil Empire is better then the Maybe Evil Someday Empire, but the point is they can and do change. Get a ton of things saying google is spying on people, bam, people use something else.
That's not the point. Who is MAKING you use google? About the only people "made to do something with google" are admins who have to setup their site for google - and that's not exactly using google, ether. If no one is making you, and there ARE others (many, many, many others) use something else. This isn't the case of ISPs, there is a search engine for every 8 pages on the internet. Use one.
Between the government and corporations, I still hold more faith in the government. After all, the reason the government sucks is because it's mostly owned by corporations. Why hand over the internet to them?
Look at the average ages of our Supreme Court Justices. Now tell me that they can't handle signing up "all on their own" for a damn cell-phone because they might get "confused," because it's so darn "complicated."
Well... Them and most of the gov seem to not know much about the internet.
Don't kid yourself, the contract you entered into is written TOTALLY in their favour, not yours. For that matter, I bet 99.9% of the subscribers have never even read the thing, never mind understand what it says.
Exactly why contracts need limited. When there is no legal backlash to companies like ISPs forcing you to sign away all your rights, they just have a meeting in secret and decide they will all add new "fuck the subscriber" clauses so there is no choice but to agree. It's still them lying, regardless of you signing anything or not. If it's not, I am going to open a shop selling 8 GHz computers for 300$*.

You can only eat and sleep so much. Warez and p0rn are needed, too.
Never forget the Swedish!
How about if you have a wobbly desk or live in an apartment? Yeah.... This is a good idea... umm hmm...
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES ALL THE CITIES IN THE US ARE GOING TO BE HIT, OMFG!
Newbie, the government can't make up something they don't have.

Yeah, but the DMCA gives a small error on compile for some reason....
I vote C/C++.
Just because something is meant to be ironic doesn't mean it can't end up being right. This is one of those cass irony backfired.
Eh, why not? Can't go worse then Iraq. At least the Canada doesn't know how to build donkey-bombs. So long as Bush is looking elsewhere, things are looking up at home. Excpet when it's him and only him. Gotta take the great white hunter (ie, Dicky boy) with him, too.
Do not stick to forehead. May result in humiliation.
On most, in fact. I haven't seen one MMO that allowed it.

Well... It will, but it will crash the computer and blow it to dust, also.

Well, all these comments on /. show they are wasting money/
We already have that, it's called setting up the modem.
Have you gotten cable, mainly comca$t, in the last 8 months? If so, you know you don't have to be old to have problems...
