They're running red lights not tieing people to the backs of their cars and dragging them to death for the purpose of gambling. It's like getting free drinks if you work at a 7-11 it's one of the perks of the job. I mean the cops get shot at and stabbed and assaulted and have to deal with all sorts of horrible shit that none of us have to deal with. I ask you how many accidents are the police running red lights responsible for? Last I checked the figure was 0, or at least very low at this point. Even so you follow my meaning.
I think it's a pretty sad state of affairs when politicians are worried about the blogosphere. Cause y'know you always want to make sure you appease the anynomous left wing bloggers who don't have to answer to anybody for anything they write about.
This thing is a piece of garbage. It just takes a mindless snapshot of what's fed through it's system. So you wind up with something that superficially looks good but when you actually look at the mesh it's a bloody mares nest. Then you have to hire somebody to go and clean up the model, which costs a lot more money thank it does to just build it from scratch using reference images.
I was looking through that gallery of theirs, all of that stuff can be made in a few minutes using regular 3d modeling techniques with the exact same results. Even the fancy hulk hand.
Yes the industry is shit. My friend got fed up with the abuse at Rockstar games and got himself fired (working 9-5 is apparently a good way to get sacked). The general rule of thumb is you only go into video games if you're tired of having a personal life.
The trouble is we'll probably keep getting the April fools pranks they missed today for the rest of the month, maybe even for the rest of the year. It wouldn't surprise me if all the regular articles posted on this site are just runoff from last year's April fools.
It's not funny any more!! (I mean it wasn't really to begin with, but it was festive)
Next year just take a page out of Homestarrunner's book and redesign the main page in some wacky manor.
I don't actually own a cell phone. So I'm not exactly sure what sort of person you have to be to get surgery done to have constant access to your cell phone...
The man's named like a cyborg that's come back in time and knows all about what's going to happen in the future. Chances are he probably is, and he knows that apple will drop the iphone. In that case he's an ass for pretending he has some intimate knowledge of the tech industry. I doubt he even built the time machine he came back in. He's probably a wanted criminal in his own time for stealing it.
Go back to your own time Dvorak! We people of the past have no time for know nothing show boating cyborgs.
People somehow think having the potential for millions of people to see their crap suddenly makes them part of the media. Putting clips on of the daily show on your blog doesn't make you a political journalist. We have thousands and thousands of people with opinions who have the power to write all about it in their blogs and they'd like to call themselves journalists or parts of the media because of this. If you haven't noticed bloggers get their information from regular media sources like reposting old newspaper articles with perhaps their own comments. Good job there on the investigative journalism, I have a subscription to the paper too..
Bloggers aren't real members of the media that's why. If you seriously want to become a journalist go to journalism school (it's only a one year course). I could have a flare for law but that doesn't mean I could go and offer services to people as a lawyer. No matter how much I could act like it, I'm not a real lawyer.
I should point out that most bands use the same instruments on all songs, so if you say, hear a guitar and drums on two songs in a row that's pretty normal. There's a movement to get this changed but it hasn't picked up a lot of steam. This is mainly due to the fact that most musicians can only play one or two instruments. This is the recording industries dirty little secret.
I'll have to first assume you're so stupid that the only reason you actually managed to write this post was an amazing freak accident that will probably never in the history of the universe be repeated. In which case you deserve your own Slashdot article. I'd ask you for some lotter numbers but I doubt you can even read this. So I'm writing this reply mainly for the benefit of the non terminally stupid on this board.
Now to reply. *ahem* When Microsoft set out to put vista together they first said to themselves 'what is it people are looking for in an os?' So they researched it, and found that most people use their computers for A) A flashy GUI that doesn't actually do anything besides take up resources, and B) Opening and closing windows to see what sort of cool effects happen when you do. So that's what they focused on. Now Microsoft has given people what they want, and the very people they're trying to please come back and spit in their face. Oh big deal if files take a long time to copy. It's not like people who use Vista would actually use it for real work. These people who're complaining are just whiners who have no idea how computers work, and it makes me sick. And you by extension make me sick for posting such a stupid comment.
People don't seem to understand that Javascript is by definition the programming language of hatred. When SUN initially developed it, their objective was and I quote 'To make a programming language that is by definition the programming language of hate'. Have you ever actually sat down and read one of those Java books? It's disgusting.
The internet would be a lot better off if Java never existed.
You can't take a cellphone mp3 player to the gym with you because of the camera function (since anybody who goes to the gym obviously has an out of shape seniors fetish). So there's another kick in the teeth. Cell phone companies would either have to give up their precious camera funcionality or keep it and miss out on potentially millions of dollars in revinue. We all know that's pretty much never going to happen. A phone without a built in low rez camera is like an out of shape senior who doesn't go to the gym. People either have the choice of being branded perverts or owning an mp3 player. I think the cell phone companies have really shot themselves in the foot here.
Will this potentially kill all cell phones? I believe it will.
I reckon if you want to castrate the RIAA you have to reform your legal system so none of these nuisance suits actually make it to trial.. Like in Canada.
From what I understand that sort of thing is done by voting.
Fortunately this is the government we're talking about so it's not a big deal.. If this was a software company, or studio there'd be bloody hell to pay.
Yes that's right. Every time I play a video game it pushes something old out of my brain. I gave myself a hernia after I played Crackdown and my brain re-evaluated its previous notions of weight and my physical capabilities and decided I could lift a truck. Just like when I play Need for Speed, the lack of cops tells my brain that this must be legal in real life so I no longer understand the purpose of the police in society. Therefore I street race.
That explains everything! I can't believe I didn't see it before!
Slashdot Mirror
The laws of robots should be the same as the laws of Golems in Discworld. They can only kill a human if instructed by a duely appointed official.

It'd be interesting if somebody also used google earth to set up a map of all the places palestinians suicide bombed Israel.

How exactly is that question insightful?
Mark this up as insightful as well please.
Yingers. That's fantastic. :)

Good job on taking things way too far

Enough with the April fools jokes!!

Bear in mind the CBC thought Don Cherry was one of the greatest Canadians who'd ever lived.
