Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

I've found that the various iterations of Bauhaus/Tones on Tail/Love and Rockets work well for zoning out, even with lyrics. The various Resurrection Hex remixes are very effective.

I think the problem was the way the sprite for the gun bobbed and weaved in front of you.

Compared to playing any of the Wolfenstein-based games it was nice to my eyes, as it was not nearly as unrealistically still as even Rise of the Triad...

Especially if they're your own, and those around you become nauseated because of them, right?

...wanna cyber?

For a third-party to work it has to offer more benefits than drawbacks over existing parties. Most third-parties either are single-issue parties that couldn't effectively govern given their lack of stance on other issues, or have declared positions on too many issues that the majority of the voting public do not support.

The closest that an actual third-party has gotten to success since the modern two major parties took over was when a popular former-member of one of those parties created his own party, but even his ambitions were not enough to make that party a success.

Yeah, if someone's security conscious then they're making choices about what they share over a given medium, so that they don't share that which doesn't need to be shared that way to start with.

I don't think you want to drink what it is, unless you're Austin Powers...

At the time I post this there are fifteen comments rated zero and above. None of them are really worth reading. Slashdot has indeed gone to something, but the only things it has in-common with 'seed' are the first letter and the same number of characters.

I don't care for this new UI. What I really don't care for though, is the increase in cross-site javascript. I've been using Slashdot since it had no client-side scripting, and it worked just fine without any javascript at all.

I think that Slashdot/Dice is telling me that it's time to get off the computer and go out and live my life in the real world again. Perhaps I should listen.

Yes, but Mozilla/Netscape was not an integral part of my OS kernel giving malware a vector right into the system-level processes of the computer.

Volunteers are never very good at police work, and previous volunteers at the border have proven to be a bit on the contentious side...

Why pay minimum wage? I bet we could outsource that work to a 3rd world country and only pay a 1/10 of minimum wage. It is not like the pilots would have to be physically here in the US to run them remotely.

Damn lag...

Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance.

That's what I was thinking. Equipping every border patrol unit with a commercial version of the ubiquitous quad-copter with preprogrammed flight rules (ie, can't cross the border itself) and with some sanity checking (all transmitted footage is logged elsewhere too, to reduce abuse) would probably be a hell of a lot cheaper and would give officers significantly more 'eyes' where they need them.

Probably because I support a progressive tax platform and holding corporations and their officers to full account when they do ill, with a nice healthy dose of a short highest-paid to lowest-paid ratio for company employees...
