  1. Re:Why release it? on Call For Scientific Research Code To Be Released · · Score: 1

    Who said it was a conspiracy of a thousand people? Isn't the claim that the ipcc reports are written by thousand people? That's not exactly true. The actual report was written by something like 50 people the thousand number comes from the supporting data. There were a lot of groups of people who did independent research that showed "whatever", and the "whatever" supports the "conclusion" so it is used, and things that don't support the "conclusion" are suppressed.
     
    Now we have a fancy report, we pass that around, and it is solid and everyone agrees with what they see

  2. Re:Satoru Iwata, wtf? on Man Fined $1.5 Million For Leaked Mario Game · · Score: 1

    What does the companies lack of protecting their IP have to do with anything?

    Great I get to sound like an RIAA commercial now. If there is a car sitting on the street with the keys in it and door open, you aren't allowed to take that car.

    Basically, I've always hated Superman, but I started to like him a bit more after I saw Kill Bill, they had a nice conversation about him.

  4. Re:I feel split in this matter on Verizon Blocking 4chan · · Score: 4, Interesting

    4chan is the radio active waste dump of the internet and for the most part all of their shenanigans tend to stay at 4chan, when you close 4chan it spreads.

  5. Decommission the shuttles in space? on Shuttle Endeavour Blasts Off For Space Station · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I just had a random thought, would it be useful to just decommission shuttles in space, meaning just leave them up there, possibly integrate them into the ISS?

  8. Re:Recommendation on Fallout: New Vegas Coming This Fall, Trailer Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Obsidian has a majority of the Black Isle crew the guys who made FO1/2. This will be a proper FO game.
     
    There was a mod that allows you to kill kids BTW

  9. Re:Yes! Obsidian (Black Isle)!! on Fallout: New Vegas Coming This Fall, Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Funny thing is if you follow the Black Isle guys around you'll quickly find out that all the games they are apart of have amazing stories and the best writing, with is then off set by a lot of bugs, and glitches.
     
    However it seems this time it'll be a bit different Obsidian has hired Oscuro, from the modding community.
    Oscuro is damn good with the Gamebryo Engine which powers Oblivion and FO3. Because admit it Bethesda isn't really know for releasing well polished game, there are a lot of bugs on release and even more balancing issues.
     
    Basically we're getting a Obsidian game, with Q/A; that news alone puts it very high in the running for GOTY

  10. Why Innovate? on How Infighting Hampers Innovation At Microsoft · · Score: 1

    When you can wait for others to do so and then copy what works.

  11. Re:s/lobby/brib/ on Following Tech's Money Trail In Washington · · Score: 1

    It isn't treason, the US has a very specific definition of treason.
     
    But yeah, I agree

  12. Re:Unforgivable! on Why the First Cowboy To Draw Always Gets Shot · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember on ESPN had a play of the day where some kid made a 3 pointer from his own key with no time left. Naturally they sent someone out there to see if he could do it again, he missed like 10 times; then they said they'd give something like $1k to charity if he made it and he did.

  15. Re:They'd be stupid not to on Sony May Charge For PlayStation Network · · Score: 1

    Live provides nothing that justifies $40 a year, but $50 a year is just cheap enough where most will pay with out complaining and at worst people like me will bitch about it on the internet but still pay.

    There aren't any treaties banning weapons in space, only WMDs

  18. Re:Aaaah, the double standard. on Univ. Help Desk Staffer Extorts Over Copyright Violations · · Score: 1

    The RIAA isn't threatening to sue, its more you broke the law, here's a settlement and we don't go to the courts who are going to fine you 2x what we are offering.
     
    That being said I would like to see a requirement that the courts need be notified of these dealings.

    Yeah they "fuck up" everyone in the same way the Black Knight won, by refusing to quit; and the other side leaving.
