    Personally I think that the time off should be time off in a normal school with kids his age

  4. Re:How hard is it for a computer to do addition? on Software Bug Adds 5K Votes To Election · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm not a programmer but why would totalVotes[candidate]++; not work?

    Is it a race condition, it pulls the number adds one and puts it back, and if the system is run parallel it will drop vote added at the same time?

  6. Crytek on German Interior Ministers Seek Ban On Violent Games · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hopefully they do leave Germany one of the things that annoyed me about Crysis is that the Koreans didn't respond to dead bodies. In Crysis you can't move dead bodies because it is against the law or some foolishness in Germany. Instead the bodies just disappeared after a little while

  9. Re:That early? on Motion Control To Lengthen Console Hardware Cycles · · Score: 1

    They just dropped to $100 from $120 I think its going to be a little while longer before another price drop. I'm thinking about picking one up, but I did just upgrade my computer so I need to revisit the PS2 emulator which has made great progress.

    This is why we can't have nice things

  13. Please Tag Article MiracleCells on Stem Cells Restore Sight For Corneal Disease Patients · · Score: 1

    I'm getting really tired of all of these Stem Cell articles. SC are doing some rather nice things for medical science and when it comes down to it there shouldn't really be any controversy. Embryonic SC are the controversial ones and they haven't been used in any treatments to date (there is one scheduled for next year though).
    I think that we need to stop calling SC SC unless they are of the embryonic SC. This will clear out all of the controversy and will allow the funding to be freed up without any trouble. Instead of calling them SC we need to call them Miracle Cells because they do miraculous things. Now if you are thinking to yourself why don't we educate the people, well the people who still raise a stink about it aren't likely the type to listen.

    I was against SC for a while until I learned that there were "two types" of SC.

    I'm still against SC but I'm for Miracle Cells

    Wasn't there an episode of star trek where this happened, Data was playing a game against some guy who hated Riker. Data couldn't beat him but he could drag the game out indefinably. Connect 4 has a limited board but the game in ST was open ended

  22. Re:Wait on Crysis 2 Confirmed For Multiple Platforms · · Score: 1

    A while back someone did a little "study" on what Crysis's market penetration was, I think he used the hardware reports from steam and then the sales figures and found that crysis had something like an 80% rate of purchase by people who could actually run the game

    Your sig isn't logically sound just because the Jews win because you lost doesn't mean you win when the Jews loose.
    Just something I thought I'd point out.

    On another side note what happened to the fine art of trolling, people these days just throw a bunch of racial slurs together and think they're all that. In my day it took a certain finesse to troll properly, you had to be well informed on the issue and then speak truths on the issue and then interpret those truths in a way that will set people off.

    oh, well
