What game were you playing? I just played Diablo II and the level that you actually fight Diablo on is entirely bright red and Diablo looks like a cartoon. Same with the Mephisto level and the Baal expansion levels.
I actually went and played Diablo II in the past month, picking it up after hearing great things and seeing the new screen shots. In most dungeons it's not dark at all, but darkness did play a part in some places, with specific gear created for adding "light radius" to your character. I have assumed this was to create a sense of surprise in some places, but not too many. That same surprise can be maintained in other ways in a new 3D environment. I think people concentrate too much on it when the first two were more about story line and fighting large groups of mobs in an RPG setting, gearing your character up, and truly unique environments, especially when you include the expansion.
Since Diablo II is fresh in my mind and an overall great game even today (I play it maxed out at 800x600!) I welcome the new one regardless.
Agreed, and the proof is throughout history, the "middlers" are usually the ones that piece the genius together into workable solutions. Genius usually doesn't have the patience to see it through.
Yes exactly, why bring the authorities into a matter that can be resolved by two people? Such conversation could be either something eloquent or a "what the fuck!". But why immediately rely on authority to solve every problem? That's how you end up in a nanny state.
Ah good old Israel, the center of the moderate minds. I'm sorry but were you preaching to the US about war?
As for creating jobs, well I can put you all in cages and that will mean a huge infrastructure to support these cages. This is good for the economy, no?
I agree. Sure it's not the coolest thing to find, but DNA analysis? I would say when did we start treating other humans like non-humans? Everything is investigation and litigation. IMO it's something to work out between two men, a simple dispute. If you see it occurring simply talk to them and explain why you don't want them shitting in your yard.
Also, I thought reliable DNA analysis was expensive. What will they do when the evidence is disputed? They can try to fall back on the "yeah but DNA doesn't lie" but it's not DNA that lies, it's unreliable methods and documentation.
Without national protection they would open themselves up to things like boardings from police forces abroad looking for data with no recourse outside of the nation wanting such data. Or they could simply want to destroy data.
Frankly I think too much emphasis has been placed on how this will get around national laws, when in fact history has told us that might equals right on the high seas. Who is to stop a powerful nation from doing what it pleases with said ship? And if you need protection to stop them from another nation, such as the US, well then you have to abide with US law, etc. You can't simply step into international waters and live outside of the global community and their laws. It doesn't work like that.
More likely the motivation is to cut costs and seek a more environmentally friendly way of doing business. And if that fails well then it was great publicity and a good college try.
Actually hurricanes are always more intense over water due to them feeding off of warm ocean water. They tend to break up over land. But most likely a ship could go around a hurricane if it needed to weigh anchor and move. They would be placed in fairly calm seas, if it can be said there is such a thing. There's a big difference between a gulf or bay and rounding cape horn through the rolling 40s:D.
Face a modern day pirate and see if the situation is ambiguous. They aren't gonna make you walk the plank. More likely they'll shoot a shoulder launched grenade up your ass if you try and stop them.
You would still be protecting yourself anyway. Not many pirates these days give two shits about killing you. Just check the Caribbean or the African horn for examples of modern day piracy. People simply go missing.

Well being "nice", I don't want you to do that. What I would like to see is real hard hitting criticism using real world examples. I say slap them around with the truth and that alone will be enough. We can pummel them to death or force them to change with the truth.
Besides, it's not like they are "winning" anything. Ask anyone on the street about windows and the overall sentiment is that it really does suck, but there is no alternative. We know that's not true and hence must teach them. So our work there is already done, let's move on to teaching and new solutions.
Actually I was advocating discussion based on facts when in the context of the slashdot article summary. I didn't see the summary as funny. It came across as a troll. But if it was meant to be funny then I can take it as such. But hell give me some context to do so, like a HA HA HA at the end or something.
My whole take is, let's approach this like adults and speak like adults and then leaders who make decisions may listen to us. If they don't well then we find someone that will. But they won't listen to someone who reeks of biased opinion and has already made up their mind. Let's not only tell them "Windows sucks". Let's tell them "Windows sucks, and here is why.."
That's all I am saying. I just don't see enough of it, it's flooded out by M$ Winbloze sux0rs! How can anyone take that seriously?
Why not just come with facts then and leave the flaming statements behind? It's hard to have any useful dialog when you start the conversation with YOU SUCK. I can criticize MS all day long using facts, but it gets me no where to come right out of the pocket with a very biased statement. Why would anyone even follow up if it seems that I cannot be swayed and have taken up a religious-like stance?
Some people need to get that chip off of their shoulder and grow up. They aren't doing anyone in the Open Source community a favor by coming off like a pretentious ass that can't be reasoned with.
You want me to criticize windows? I can write a laundry list using facts. You want me to criticize Linux? I can write a laundry list of facts. Facts speak volumes. Everything else is a waste of time and gets the us nowhere.
Oh yes, I agree 100% and I can tell you what I think they should so - simply use Linux as the basic platform for either their own distro that they can support or alternatively contribute a lot of effort towards one that already exists. Because a consumer of Linux really wants to pay for support and know that the vendor is 100% behind it. It's that "you're out on the wire" attitude that they fear and that seems to be the current stance of most laptop vendors these days. If Lenovo got behind them 100% perhaps that wouldn't be the case, and hence they would sell more laptops at greater profit. It works for big iron, it can work for laptops also.
I think as *nix advocates (at least some of us), we need to realize that it's not all about being altruistic to these guys. It's about money, and if it's doesn't make money then why would they do it? But why speculate on motivations. It's just a fact and we can accept it, make Linux better where we can, and move forward.
I think it depends on the reactor type. Some can use liquid sodium, etc. Think "micro-reactor" similar to the proposals by the Japanese space program or Toshiba for small output, "4S":
Yeah evolution is really controlled by the environment itself through fitness tests that come about by chance. Everything else dies and hence is unfit. It is not an active choice in any living thing as far as I know. A more accurate description would be to call it "the big luck".

Dog shit is dangerous? Dude get your "danger sensor" checked. It's just annoying.
I think this stems from the global spread of assholes who think they should live in a world free from any minor annoyance. Those are the true assholes

The joke will be on them when the Pirate flag is hoisted and it says WTO on it with a skull and cross bones.

Why am I always marked "redundant" when I am the first person to comment on the parent? How in the fuck can that be redundant? HATERS!

Actually I have no clue. All I know is I love women of all flavors and my daughter is living proof, being of mixed-race.
