I miss the good ol' days when a post like that wouldn't be considered "insightful" on slashdot. Actually I miss when an article like this wouldn't really have been posted.

I envy you. I've had to do installs for people who literally told me, "I don't know what Linux is I just know that I want it." and thought that "going into the code" meant editing a configuration file in their home directory. I'll let you assume what distro I installed for them.

Also, does anyone know how well this works for FreeBSD?

"Burglar" is now considered an occupation! Where the hell was that at my school's job fair?

You forgot to put on the second pair of sunglasses.

Agreed. I knew a guy in my brigade who deployed in 2004 (about the time that shit was bad in Iraq). He can watch those movies and play video games, but he spent his entire enlistment bonus on meth. What I'm worried about is the habit that trolls have for say, exposing vets to pictures of gore or dead soldiers (Though I've never been on Second Life so I don't know how that works).

But I'm in the military, and I'd rather brain damage than brain splattage.

A midget is getting annoyed that the TV won't let him watch Real Sex 10.

Some Marines get pretty offended when they're called "soldiers."

Tracking's going to waste a lot of time playing around with Compiz instead of working.

Yo dawg we heard you like shuttles so we put a shuttle in yo shuttle so you can fly while you fly.

The United States is just trying to keep up. Whether or not it's hysteria, we have had various attacks on critical components of our infrastructure, notably the power grid, from Russian and Chinese hackers. Iran also has an entire division devoted to cyber-warfare. I read in Soldiers magazine (I was at MEPS waiting to swear in) and saw an ad for a new unit of the Army, the Army Network Warfare Battalion, and they're looking for soldiers from the intelligence (35) and signal (25) fields, as well as those with CS and programming experience.

I'm sure that EA would be willing to reap any benefits from this publicity stunt and then find their scapegoat, all under the assumption that many people will say, "Oh that EA is at it again," or hope that people find this tame compared to the treatment of their employees.

If it was to generate buzz, then it worked. I completely forgot that this game was announced. Then again, I barely keep track of EA games now.
