um if your naughty he gives you coal instead of what you wanted. also people get trampled during christmas sales, so while it is not all out war, there are a lot of battle's being waged and all the bounty is signed with Santa's name.

I don't think it is elegant at all. What is elegant are all the amazing bio-machines that have been built here on earth. When you can make something as efficient and reliable as a human heart, or a computer as complex as the human brain you can be as arrogant as you want. Until then I'm gonna have to believe we were designed like we were on purpose.

You could probably say it is on slashdot because a lot of technology is used in modern medicine, and modern medicine is a science. One thing the people not for this bill have been saying is that that our free market system encourages the best and the brightest to innovate because of the monetary gain, and if it is government controlled those people will look for jobs elsewhere. I'm sure there are plenty of people in medical tech, and medicine that read slashdot that are concerned how this will affect their jobs.

also that's probably what some kids will say to other kids in this class and some will not enjoy school still.

that's good to hear. I would eventually like to quit smoking but every time I have a cup of coffee I feel like I NEED a cigarette to go with it. I think I will have to quit both at the same time. OR medicine can fix cancer and I wont have to worry about the ill effects of cigarette smoking.

i see baseball players and other heavy steroid users being interested in this.

EXACTLY just get the game sign up and QQ on the forums. Its blizzard, they will cave. Though these days with activision there they might charge 5 dollars for the added functionality.

funny you don't mention any mmo's that came out before wow, or a regular rpg for that matter. I am guessing the folks you know wow is their first mmo or even RPG experience and trying the games you mention is more like looking for a new wow fix instead of a love for the genre. Otherwise you would have said my friends all played eq2 and Ultima, love the forgotten realms stuff and are looking foward to the new diablo(maybe). Anyways you just reinforced the point of the article I think..."They're WoW players and that's it". If a game that comes after wow isn't wow it better be damn close otherwise it is not worth the time amirite?

see World of Warcraft...

bullshit you like how bright your screen is in the dark.

That seems EXTREMLEY SELFISH. You would prefer to keep your dear old grandma alive and in pain for YOUR sake damn her pain? Selfish queer....

whats the point when its a machine keeping you alive? Suicide is a whole different evening all together. I'm talking about people who cant breath and shit for themselves saying thanks for the fun i had a great time on earth I'll see you in a minute god.

Vocal slashdotters are just that vocal. Religious fundamentalist tend to be a touch more aggressive. And I don't believe slashdot goes out of it's way to pick on Christians rather it seems to me every once in a while some small group will do something that renders the larger group ignorant mean and aggressive.
