>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

Hey John, I'm going to parrot what a few others have said; you might want to re-think the site name a little to avoid trademark dispute and angering the Dice.com gods. Maybe something like afterslash.org (altslash, as mentioned earlier, is too similar I think to alterslash, an existing blogroll/summary site).

I'd help in any way I can. I'll contact you later.

Or ... whatever.

Marry me.

That's some real deep throat shit right there, man. My eyes are like friggin' open now.
And I don't like what I see!

(i.e. your posts)

If this isn't APK, then why are you double posting, anon?
I know of only one net kook who double-posts with slight changes in the follow up when he thinks of a new burn...

There have been at least four versions of the PS3 that had a subset of features (other than hard drive space) that would cause consumers to differentiate between them:

1.) Original - had essentially a PS2 inside of it (emotion engine chip, etc) for full hardware compatibility of PS2 games. 4 USB ports.

2.) Update - had software emulation for PS2 games. 4 USB ports.

3.) Update 2 - no capability to play PS2 games (can still play PS1 games), 2 USB ports, no media card reader.

4.) Slim - no capability for PS2 games, 2 USB ports, bigger hard drives and smaller footprint.

I have a (3), and I really miss playing PS2 games. But I just can't abide controller cords strewn across the living room anymore.

The reason they removed it was to force people to move on to the next platform. For the first few years of the PS3's cycle, they were still selling more PS2's. I understand, and I'm ok with that, but I think that they've accomplished their goal now.

I really, really, really wish they'd release a software package in the PSN store that you could buy in order to be able to play PS2 games. Hell, I'd pay $50 for it.

Which is why going public is a mixed bag - it provides capital to invest in your products and employees, but it introduces a 3rd party into the matrix - instead of just caring about the employees and customers, you now have to also care about the shareholders.

Funny story...

Facebook is using their photo tagging system to build the world's best facial recognition software.

Oh wait, that's not funny.
