Seriously, fire samzenpus. Please.

Is there an "ohnoitssamzenpus" tag yet? There should be, every story he posts is awful.

The article itself makes it clear in the very first sentence that his relatives expect him to commit suicide before he can be extradited. The slashdot summary would rather imply that the evil America would be killing him.

His name is Gary, not Gray. Stellar editing as always, slashdot staff.

The band was The Get Out Clause, that's a link to an article about it. And the music video in question.

Unfortunately Chapter 5 consists entirely of "???".

Does anyone understand how the first sentence of the summary is supposed to relate to this story at all?

Good job tagging it "coolstorybro" though, whoever did that. You made me laugh.

Eve is not a competitor at all. Nothing is even close, but if you're trying to pick a "second place", it's certainly not Eve. Eve is at least 8th: http://users.telenet.be/mmodata/Charts/CASTop10.png (from http://mmodata.net/ )

Both of those sound better than FFXI's tutorial, which consists of:

<< Welcome to <servername>! >>

According to update notes, apparently they added a tutorial NPC on Sept 9, 2008 (the game came out on May 16, 2002), but that was a little late for me to experience it.

New Guitar Hero packages "yearly"? I think you missed a few, starting from World Tour:

Guitar Hero World Tour: October 26, 2008
Guitar Hero On Tour Decades: November 16, 2008
Guitar Hero Metallica: March 29, 2009
Guitar Hero On Tour Modern Hits: June 9, 2009
Guitar Hero Smash Hits: June 16, 2009
Guitar Hero 5: September 1, 2009
Band Hero: November 2009
Guitar Hero Van Halen: November/December 2009

That's 8 games in a little over one year.

I think this is a new low, and for samzenpus, that's a difficult feat.

I'm not sure, but I think he was trying to say that someone that had never seen the game before wouldn't be able to beat it on their first try. That's definitely true, too many things that you have to know are coming.

However if he actually was trying to say that it's impossible for anyone to beat the game without dying, he's certainly wrong there.

It's not illegal to have sex.
It's not illegal to give money to someone else.

It's not illegal to drive.
It's not illegal to drink.

Things aren't always just the sum of their parts.

Conveniently, Pandora does its "where are you from?" check over the www.pandora.com domain, but streams the music over a different subdomain. This means that you can use FoxyProxy to have your connection to the www subdomain go through TOR, but the music still comes directly to your machine over your normal connection.

Weird, yes. But this is how it works. The page is very slow to load through TOR, but the music plays perfectly once it finally does load. I don't know why they did it this way, but it's certainly helpful for all us non-Americans.

P.S. Why is this news now? Canadians have been locked out of Pandora for at least a few years.

It's a samzenpus story, these are the only kind he posts, the ones that don't belong here. He also gets to use little pointless images that all the other editors don't get!

Look through my past comments if you like, I had made a list of all his posts a while ago, they're all "let's see if we can slowly convert Slashdot into digg" garbage, which he generally posts once per day. I got tired of collecting them myself, but it's pretty obvious if you look back through his story-posting history.
