To bad I won't be buying from this franchise again. They already screwed themselves over with COD MW2, and I've no faith that activision won't pull some douche move later on after they release the game.
My exact thought. No matter what a game from Activision would have at release, they have proven they cant be trusted. What will it have a month after release? Who knows.
mektek.net is currently down for me.
I wonder if this has anything to do with it?
DSL works well. It's 50 MB, can boot off a USB flash stick, and comes with its own virtual environment for running within MS Windows. It's probably missing a few features you will want for teaching a course in Linux, though.
I also like Puppy Linux. I was able to make an MP3 player out of a small thin client computer and this OS. I just had to modify a few shell scripts, and plug the TC into my home stereo.
Exactly what I was thinking. This too http://tinycorelinux.com/ I run it on my PII.
I doubt it. Mozilla may be the first to tell you to upgrade to a current version.
And everyone lets out a collective exhale "Finally".
FINALLY
... does not mean you should.
Have these scientists contemplated what could happen if these created creatures escape into the wild breeding amongst themselves and/or other similar species.
Whole ecosystems can be destroyed by introducing one creature into them.
You know, this argument is getting old for me. Anything that could progress human knowledge is looked down on anymore with an excuse like this one. I for one want to see real scientific advancement. I want genetic research on ALL levels. Lets bring back species that was destroyed by man, lets cure cancer, lets do SOMETHING.
A day will come when advancements in medicine/science will be had and everyone will then wonder why we waited so long.
What about if it may save many human lives? Cosmetic testing is probably not as bad as drug/vaccine/antibiotic testing or general research, which can be pretty horrific and is pretty much guaranteed to cause great sufferring, but all those things are fundamental to our ability to save many people.
The world would be much worse for us without medical research, but it does create what might as well be factories of suffering for lab animals. They even breed lab animals specifically with the worst genetic diseases, which would be the ultimate cruelty if it didn't bring the possibility of future cures.
Hard not to be conflicted about it I think.
Better them than me.
See how easy that was
Glad to hear NYCL. Whenever I want to find out what is up with the RIAA, I go to you first. You do a great job and please keep it up
Yes I can.
Fuck these people. Damn dirty, no-good rotten, greedy, lifeless, soulless, talentless hack job bastards.
Even the Wallstreet/Banker CEO pricks must stand in awe and wonder on how this bunch of pricks can make an extra dollar.
Same for me actually.
You have to options: slap some reality into your users and put them in their place, or burn out. Your choice.
I love everythiung about this. The wisdom of the post. The fact its scored as informative. The use of "Fuck Em". I am LMAO
I love slashdot
Godwin'd quiiiiiick
I fail to see the downside. Games + Strippers?
water is wet!
Of course they cheat. They have to. If they don't know how to cheat then how can they catch the students when they cheat so they can cheat better and better so they can cheat into a job where others learn to cheat from them!
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
