    Morality is great, staying alive is better. You act like this stuff hasnt gone on for the ENTIRETY of human existence. Remove Greed, Power and Malice from the human psyche and we MIGHT be able to begin work on your utopia. Here is a tip: people in power dont like to be challenged, do so at your own peril.

    Atheist means the resolute belief that there is no Creator. I cannot say if there is a Creator or not, nor can any other living human being. This makes me an atheist?

    Onlive is actually VERY good for what it is. I'm a pixel junkie so it would never totally satisfy me, but when the service first rolled out and my gaming rig was dead, it was a very nice option to have

    Have you even looked at Steamworks for Skyrim yet? Yes the menu was dumbed down, get over it. Steamworks more then makes up for it.

  9. Re:The Cloud on Sony To Delete Virtual Goods · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The convergence of cheap hardware and cheap storage(thai floods or not, its still very cheap) means the barrier to entry for a PC jukebox is VERY low. I picked up a Lenovo dual core Athlon II desktop (with hardware virtualization, 500 GB HDD and 2 GB of ram new-in-box for $250). It now holds and serves about 350 movies in compressed HD format that i ripped from my DVD collection.

    It also connects to my HDHomerun PRIME cable tuners and records, compresses and serves HD Premium cable TV (ESPN, TNT etc ), in addition to serving up windows media center to my Xbox 360. It also serves those files to my family members in remote locations. We have all the Disney movies for all the kids in the family mirrored at each location for a total cost of $400 (desktop 'server' PC + Apple TV or ) per node. Do you see now why this could be compelling to have?

    Why is their sexual orientation relevant? A scientist should be judged on his work, not by whom he sleeps with. This kind of shit is why the term LBGT is becoming annoying. Self-segregating does nothing to further that cause.

    If its not evidence, then its destruction of private property under the color of law, a much more serious crime. The plain fact is, an officer erasing digital private property, especially in the field, should be almost universally illegal.

    Politicians should not be engaged in UNSOLICITED PHONE CALLS. It has nothing to do with the word Robo and everything to do wit the shitty nature of the medium. Dont fucking call people you dont know to sell them something. It tends to piss them off.
