  1. Re:So serious on Can Twitter and Facebook Deal With Their Dead? · · Score: 1

    I don't think you'd need an option for a "will". Your regular old will that says "Hey, don't fuck with my Twitter or Facebook in any way other than I specify herein, ever" should be just fine.

    We have too many "Solving a digital problem because it's digital and therefore different Act of 2010" laws and whatnot anyways.

    Before I had Internet Diablo II and Starcraft were all I really had to do for fun. Starcraft II already seems to be disappointing all but the really hardcore multiplayer folks. I'm with you on the worries about Diablo III.

    You have to wonder how much of this decision is Blizzard and how much of it is Vivendi and Activision.

    IANAC(op), but I have a few friends who are around the country. AFAIK when police officers do this, its entirely voluntary (i.e. no officer is "assigned" to such a rent-a-cop task typically) and it can only be done as overtime (i.e. when an officer is not scheduled for regular duty). These rules are in place specifically to prevent private interests from taking away from the regular police force on hand at any time.

    I tried to date an Eskimo. It didn't really work out, she was a frigid bitch who always gave me the cold shoulder.

    By your metric of "most people liked it", The Jonas Brothers are good, too. I find your methodology flawed on that point alone. d:

    But seriously, it's about what's important to each individual person. I personally think that good gameplay and replay value are the most important things, hands down.

    Yeah, or I could say that WoW is for dull idiots who love to simply click a button endlessly til a virtual candy pops out

    Yeah! We EVE players prefer to click around a spreadsheet endlessly.

    Unless you're talking about a player-owned corporation doing this sort of activity (there are player-owned banks in EVE), there is no such thing as cargo insurance.

    The rough value of those PLEXes was 7,400,000,000- 22,200,000,000 ISK. If you played super-hardcore as a relatively new player (3

  9. Re:Lesser of two evils? on Google & Verizon's Real Net Neutrality Proposal · · Score: 1

    At least with Verizon I can say "fuck you" and cancel my service. I don't know how to do that with Congress.

    There are a variety of options available to you, all the way up to .500 BMG.

    A good friend of mine owns an Amiga from... well, it's an old one. It's hilarious how the GUI feels snappy and responsive and Windows feels slow as shit in comparison.

  16. Re:Agreed. on Steve Furber On Why Kids Are Turned Off To Computing Classes · · Score: 1

    I was not allowed to take a C++ class in a magnet school (high school, a good step in quality above public high school but public nonetheless, you just had to apply) I was attending back in the early 2000s because I did poorly in Math. Nevermind the fact that I had (and still have) a better understanding of computer programming than I have an understanding of Trigonometry or above. Apparently I was too stupid to learn 2 computerz.

    Since you are a scientific-minded Christian, how do you resolve the inherent conflicts between the metaphysical and science that exists in Christianity? I'm not asking in an antagonistic manner, I've just wondered how people can resolve that inner turmoil.

    If Google said "We will no longer serve any Google content to any ISP which violates Net Neutrality", the debate would basically be over. You wouldn't even need any government regulation.

    Wouldn't that be breaking net neutrality in and of itself?

    Reality check to them: you're never going to get by selling the same thing everybody else does for double the price because it's in a trendy setting.

    Apple seems to get by pretty alright selling trendy items for higher prices than devices that have equal (or better) functionality.

  22. Re:Great... on Modded Nintendo Lets You Play Mario With Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    You could just invert the controls.

    Keep your eyes on the screen and turn your head to the right. This controller would interpret it as "left" and you'd move left. Ditto for any direction. So just flip the horizontal and vertical axes (i.e. looking up = down arrow, looking right = left arrow) and you can keep your eyes on the screen. Although it uses eyes to judge direction, inverting the controls makes it about head movement instead.

    I agree with your comment, and a note on something in the same vein: a lot of the major religions decry people who reinterpreted/appended to/amended their religious texts (see: Mormons and Christianity, Ahmadiyya and Islam, etc.). I guess the Christians and Muslims have very little appreciation for irony.
