getting denied health insurance for having bad genes

Altitude is my favorite game ever. It's a multiplayer airplane/dogfighting game with really satisfying combat.

All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

Starcraft has incredible depth and lots of emergent gameplay. My brother bought the game nearly 10 years ago and has played it on and off to this day. He's been playing a lot on ICCUP(an unofficial server that the good players use for ranked play and to avoid hackers) since he has graduated an is jobless. He is undoubtedly better than me and wins 9 out of 10 times, which made it all the more satisfying when I 5pooled him(a rush) and left him in a hissy fit(he doesn't take losing well). I particularly like that there are so many different strategies in starcraft, you can take a very unconventional/high risk strategy, and if executed decently have a good chance of success.

Oh wow, my eyes glazed over the sentence the sentenced that had "serious text processing" in it. I am not very familiar with Forth so the next part seemed plausible. Finally my tired eyes spotted an anomaly; surely Java/Swing is on par if not more "well supported" than Perl/Tk. But the comment said +4 insightful my mind protested! Oh wait a second, whats this? It's bad analogy guy! I've seen his comments before I remember, amused at how I had caught the joke just barely before it passed over my head. (A look at the 6 other comments here shows that there was plenty of *whoosh* to go around though)

Even though it sucks that they got steamrolled I'm sure the startup doesn't mind so much because of the free publicity the case generated.

Why is the summary so devoid of technical detail? You realize we don't read the articles right?

The only fork that will work at this point is one that has laxer deletionist/notability standards. Notability could be determined by weather the article has a potential audience, not weather it meets some arbitrary standard of notability. Same with citation requirements, sections of an article that are contested would be marked as such, but not necessarily removed.

Welcome to Slashdot, one of the few places where rocket science is considered simple.

I guess that's better than working for Lies Based Research?

I would think most modern nations employ hackers these days. I'm sure much of America's hacking talent make a tidy salary working for the NSA.

I came here to gripe about wine. While it is definitely a cool piece of software I think people way overstate its abilities. For instance, I've read many many times that wine works perfectly with starcraft. The wine website itself rates it "Gold" which according to them means "Applications that work flawlessly with some special configuration". And yet anyone who has tried to use starcraft on Linux would know that that the multiplayer(the reason people still play sc) is unusable due to acknowledged graphical bugs and lag(YMMV on this). Starcraft is not a stand alone example from my experience. I would say anything not on the list of 76 programs that "work flawlessly, no configuration", are likely to be unusable. Unfortunately software is not like a glass of milk. A program that only works 50% of the time is bad, while milk is delicious no matter how much of it you have.

Then how would I download firefox?
