  1. Re:Easy Remedy for Those Looking to Avoid on New York State Budget Relies On Entertainment Tax · · Score: 1

    That would require going to NJ, so I'm not so sure about that.

  2. Re:Why? on Barack Obama Is One Step Closer To Being President · · Score: 1

    Because then the politicians would only have to visit NY, Cali, and I don't remember the 3rd one to get elected to the presidency

  5. Re:In reality, people move things on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 1

    My laptops don't suspend when I close the lid
    Laptops also have that thing in the middle of the diskdrive that keeps the disk from moving, I'm sure that the xbox has something along those lines as well but I don't think that the disk is as secure.

    I have quite a few games that technically require the disk, but yeah
    I really don't understand why people would be moving the console around, the controllers are wireless, it doesn't have to sit in the middle of the room so the cords can reach the couch.

    Which still have a 10 min response time. To simulate the effects of 10 min where every second matters, stare at a clock for the next 10 min and count every second that passes.

    Voter turn out was what 60%?

    I think that the media saying that Obama was going to win the entire time had a bigger effect on people thinking their vote mattered.
    If you were for him "great he's going to win so why bother"
    If you were against "damn he's going to win so why bother"

    My head hurts

    Pop quiz time, would you rather be a citizen of the United States or the African paradise of Kenya?

    And they were all grandfathered in, because the only people who can be President are natural borns and people who were citizens of a colony at the signing.

    The most compelling piece of evidence that BO was born in the USA is that Clinton didn't mention it, so if Clinton can't find it, it doesn't exist

    Oh they can lower the drinking age if they wanted to but then the government stops giving the state money.

  18. Re:I'm glad I'm not a Hoosier on Indiana Bans Driver's License Smiles, For Security · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Actually I was born and raised in Missouri, and Hoosier is an insult. Hoosier is lower than trailer trash, and it was fightin words in the 3rd grade.

    The amusing thing is I now live in Indiana I went to IU, and I've liked all of it but I am still not a Hoosier.

  23. Re:The problem on A Look At Modern Game AI · · Score: 1

    I blame the console for this, when I saw the original specs for the 360 and the ps3 I was surprised that they both only had 1 gig of ram.

    The x box is shared, and the PS3 is 512 vid 512 system. IIRC

    Most games these days are built the the least common denominator.
