  3. Upcoming Brutal Legend on Why Video Games Are Having a Harder Time With Humor · · Score: 1

    This article obviously fails to consider the upcoming multi-platform Brutal Legend starred by Jack Black. Having tested this game, I can assure it'll give hundreds of laughs to every player, not only script-wise,but also graphic-wise. I can't wait for it to come out. Those who don't know what the hell I'm talking about can check the website or Wikipedia, though most of it is still confidential.

  4. Spore on Unicellular "Enigma" Changes From Predator To Plant and Back · · Score: 1

    Does this mean EA can sue nature due to copyright infringement?

  5. Re:Hrmmm on Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content · · Score: 1

    Just tried it - explicit.bing.com gives you SFW and NSFW - using that domain is just like saying "switch off safe search". AFAICT, there's no "unsafe search" option.

    Then somebody has to come up with an algorithm that does the same search on both domains and displays the complement of the intersection of the results.

  6. Re:How does Microsoft define what is 'explicit'? on Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content · · Score: 1

    Your answer explains "what" not "how"

    Prolly much like Google SafeSearch does. Exept that with a bulkier, buggier and messier code.

  7. Re:Hrmmm on Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content · · Score: 1

    Is the reverse possible? I.e. explicit content only??!! :)

    I'm guessing from the summary it's explicit.bing.com

  8. Re:EMP Testing on Could a Meteor Have Brought Down Air France 447? · · Score: 1

    Here the subconcious rules that govern human movement were overruled by the concious rules of the game. The problem arrised due to the fact that one of the people involved was not fully aware of the latter.

    Well, I've never seen anybody run into somebody else. In fact usually you jump to a side or stop moving, depending on your walking speed. I can't say we don't find ourselves usually in those awkward situations where you are standing in front of somebody and both move in the same direction, until you or the other one stands for a moment an lets the other move. But I believe that is just another sing of how our movements are planned boforehand, predicted by watching the environment in a subconcious fashion.

    Yet there are more car crashes that people crashes. I, instead, get impressed while walking down a street full of people and being able to slow my speed, move faster, turn a little, turn a lot, make a step aside, stop moving, all that while singing a song or thinking about some maths problem or linguistic thing, and still not bumping into somebody.

  13. Re:now he tells me... on Triangular Buttons Make On-Screen Keyboards More Usable · · Score: 1

    I had to pull out the sleep, shut down and wake up keys from my generic rectangle-shaped cream-white keyboard after I got tired of pressing them by mistake when reaching for the Print screen key, because the designer had the fantastic idea of moving the row of keys (the one with Print screen) from the top to the upper-side of the six keys which are over the arrows (sorry, I don't know its technical name), and putting there the keys I've mentioned above, instead.
    It's kinda hard to picture if from my description, but I'm sure you've seen it. It's even harder to get accustomed.

    I can't believe this is news in the US, since similar technologies are available here in Argentina (yeah, a third world country) from at least the begining of this year.

    The problem with child porn, and what makes it illegal is the kids being abused, not the freak adults who like to see them. I mean, you can not be imprisioned or even judged for what you like or what you intend to do. Am I wrong?
