  1. Re:Just in case you were wondering why... on StarCraft II Cost $100 Million To Develop · · Score: 1

    I read that each chapter has as much missions as any other RTS game. So it doesn't seems like getting one game splitted into three small ones. It seems to be a HUGE game splitted into three normal games

  2. Re:and still on StarCraft II Cost $100 Million To Develop · · Score: 1
    I would do like this:
    • make the game costs 30 bucks
    • if you wanna play online, you have to buy and account for 20 bucks
    • you can sell your game, but not your account
    • bonus: sell the game for full 50 bucks, but make sure everyone understands they are buying the game and an account

    Game companies don't do it because it means less profit, but IMO it is a middle ground solution where everyone wins a little bit

  5. Price on Apple Offers Free Cases To Solve iPhone 4 Antenna Problems · · Score: 1
    It is interesting to note that the freaking plastic case costs 30 bucks! I know iphone 4 owners will get one for free, but c'mon, 30 bucks for a piece of plastic!?

    Here is a link about it

    I don't know how it works, but it can be done feeding normal images, once for the right eye, and once for the left one, and making sure que glasses shutter speed is in sync with the refresh rate of the tv.

    But this is Sony. My guess is that they made something more complicated in order to "protect" their tecnology from copies and to "stimulate" people to buy new tvs.

    Just FYI, you can say fuck on slashdot. There is no filter being applied on the messages.

  11. Re:Stem cell extraction on Stem Cells Curing Burn-Induced Blindness · · Score: 1

    Answering my own questions...: Emphasys mine

    The two broad types of mammalian stem cells are: embryonic stem cells that are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells that are found in adult tissues. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all of the specialized embryonic tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized cells, but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin, or intestinal tissues.

  12. Re:Stem cell extraction on Stem Cells Curing Burn-Induced Blindness · · Score: 1
    Allright, I will try to be more precise this time: from TFA

    Adult stem cells, which are found around the body, are different from embryonic stem cells, which come from human embryos and have stirred ethical concerns because removing the cells requires destroying the embryos.

    how in hell there are stem cells around on an adult human? I didn't know that there are stem cells on adults. Isn't it true that people freeze umbilical cords in order to guarantee stem cells for the future?

    There are ways to hack slashcode using non acii characters. So, the reason its blocked is not stupid at all...

    Could anyone elucidate me in the procedure for stem cell extraction? Where do they get those kind of cells on an adult human?

  15. Re:XP is the 90's? on Time To Dump XP? · · Score: 1

    This is actually not necessary. Other mods came afterwards and corrected the "mistake". Things get fixed naturally without much further turmoil this way. I do prefer it.

  17. Correlation and causuation on Study Shows Standing Up To Bullies Is Good For You · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Once again we mix correlation with causuation. It's not like if a timid person will stand up a bully and become socially sucessfull. Non timid and socially healthy people usually stands up. The arrows that represents cause is pointing to the wrong direction

    The real problem is that many stuff you listed can be done on custom firmware only. PSPs don't do that. Custom firware do. Not averyone are willing to use them.

    Clearly you don't understand how women mind works... Women are crazy. You never know for sure how they will react. This case seems obvious because the guy told you the story, but you will never guess her reaction before hand.

    What people *mean* by traditional OS is the OS that dominates the market and it is expected by the average computer user: windows

    Of course I don't agree with this definition and I guess that's the case with Knara also, which is the whole point of his the question anyways...
