  1. Speaking of halting... on Diarrhea Bug May Offer Cancer Cure · · Score: 0, Troll

    Researchers who added E. coli toxins to a dish containing rapidly dividing cancer cells could almost brought the cancerous growth to a halt.

    Maybe English teachers should try harder to bring tense changing to a halt.

    That is simply not true. What a fucking biased, wrong, and stereotype riddled brain you have there.

  3. Re:No comparison... on America's Army on Linux · · Score: 1

    No, it's not a waste of money. GOD. THIS MONEY CAME FROM THE ARMY'S ADVERTISING BUDGET. If it wasn't spent on this, it would be spent on probably 1 more commercial. THIS IS WAY more bang for the buck, comparitively.

    I never mentioned building schools. Original quote: You could create and fund probably over 7 schools with that tiny budget. Every little bit helps. So if creating doesn't mean building, how else to schools get created?

    $230? XThe MSRP for the XBox (even with the 2 bundled games: JSRF & Sega GT) is $200. Costco screwed you (doubtfully for the first time).

    Who said anything about fixes? It's all EXTRA content. Mechassault gives you new mechs and new maps, etc. . . Don't get lippy and defensive because you are jealous of my hardware.

  9. Re:XBox live and PS2 online on Tom's Hardware Reviews Xbox Live · · Score: 2

    I've been playing PS2 games online for free since before the Xbox came out. No service, no problem! With THPS3 & 4, the service is built it and free. Only games like PSO or Everquest cost money.

    How is that possible? The XBox came out November 15, 2001. The PS/2 network adapter was only released recently.

    Overall, I like Sony's online gaming policies better. You see, Xbox doesn't come with online gaming built in, it is a $50 add-on, and that's only for 1 year. That's kind of deceptive to me. MS forbids developers from doing their own online game systems, so no-cost systems are impossible on Xbox.

    Completely untrue. Microsoft does not force companies to use XBox live at all. Also, the network adapter is built into the machine -- there are ways to use it without XBL.

  11. Re:Mod Parent Up on Tom's Hardware Reviews Xbox Live · · Score: 2

    Well XBL only costs $50 for the kit. Basically that buys you a headset and a year subscription to the service. Since the hardware is already in the machine, the pricing difference is rather trivial. Except for when you have to start actually paying for games on the PS/2, then you will soon be paying more than I did for XBL on the whole.

    About the MMORPG, Everquest: Online Adventures is due out pretty soon. I have played the beta and it's shaping up prety well.

  12. Re:Has the reviewer even heard of Microsoft? on Tom's Hardware Reviews Xbox Live · · Score: 2

    You read nothing of the review you twit. They reviewed the product after release, not during the beta. That's all that quoted excerpt is saying. Yeah, Tom's Hardware has no credibility -- sure, whatever. Please, think twice before you post drivel like this without even reading the source material.

    I don't think it's a name chage so much as an abbreviation. If you look at all the games they still say 'Playstation' and 'Playstation 2'.

  18. Re:Well, DUH! on Console Games Sales Beat Out PC · · Score: 5, Funny

    Uh, you're wrong. New console games and new PC games almost always cost $50 on the nose. If anything, PC games are breaking the trend and getting more expensive, especially if you go for the fancy "Collectors Edition" so you get a shiny box and an arm patch or something.
