  1. Re:Gotta be there on EVE Online Getting TV, Comic Book Adaptations · · Score: 2

    I don't think that is what he was doing. He was just trying to give a sense of just how many people were there. Time Dilation is a good way to gauge that.

  2. I think I'll wait on Planescape: Torment Successor Funded In 6 Hours · · Score: 1

    I think I'll wait for the reviews, I don't really know much of about the developer and the one game of theirs I've played didn't impress me. Maybe it was because they sucked at humor I dunno or maybe I'm just not the humors sort. Kickstarter is nice but you got to be careful any charlatan could promise you the moon and stars and deliver you nothing or worse a pile of shit.

    I'm not really a huge kickstarter fan I've backed only two projects which were books by one of my favorite authors. Someone who had earned my trust. That said I'm not against it and will most likely end up buying Wasteland II soon after it comes out.

  3. Mean while in america on Microsoft Fined €561 Million For Non-compliance With EU Browser Settlement · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Mean while in america we fine 1.92 billion HSBC for laundering money for terrorists and drug lords. Apparently laundering money for terrorists and drug lords is only 2.5 (roughly) times as bad as not complying with an EU court settlement.

  4. Nope because at the end of the day on Are Gaming Studios the Most Innovative Tech Companies Out There? · · Score: -1

    No because at the end of the day Video games are art, not technology. Sure it's got lots of technological aspects, but it has them in the same way that Architecture does. Ya Architecture is an art, one that includes all sorts of technical fields, from material science to wave forms, when trying to determine the acoustics of a room but that doesn't mean a highly innovative architectural firm is the most innovative tech company out there.

  5. Re:Age and rank. on Bradley Manning Pleads Guilty To 10 Charges · · Score: 1

    Maybe he joined later than is usual?

  6. Re:Planetside 2 on EA Building Microtransactions Into All of Its Future Games · · Score: 2

    Ya but sony hasn't really figured out the Micro part of the microtransactions. The only reason I bought anything in that game was because of triple SC day and then spent it on Packs, and daily sales. Doing that stuff was pretty cheap but otherwise a gun costs 7 dollars and you can only buy cash in 5 dollar increments. It's stupid and counter productive if you ask me.

  7. Re:False Takedown Notice? on NASCAR Tries To Squelch Video of Spectators Injured By Crash · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Didn't you get the memo, laws are for poor people.

  8. Lets hope publishers and developers on How Game Streaming Went From Shaky Webcams To the PS4 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Lets hope Publishers and developers don't decide that now every game must have a multiplayer component, no matter how little it makes sense. I'm looking at you Dead Space.

  9. Prison population on Researchers Analyze Twitter To Find Happiest Parts of the United States · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Louisiana has the largest prison population and is also the saddest place according to this study, coincidence?

  10. I'm sort of confused on Chinese Blogger Becomes Celebrity Exposing Corruption · · Score: 1

    How is a politician having sex corruption? It's hypocrisy if they are the family values party line, and if they are married its cheating but at best I could say he was exposing a scandal not exposing corruption. Now if he was taking bribes, or something that might be corruption.

  11. Good maybe on Dell Going Private In $24.4 Billion Agreement · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good maybe, they can get back to providing a good service/product for reasonable prices and a modest profit rather than the 100% as much money as possible even at the expense of future profits model that the current corporate culture in the world seems to mandate as the norm.

  12. I use a different method on Wolfram Alpha Number-Crunches the Super Bowl · · Score: 2

    I personally use Chef Johns analysis of throwing chicken wing bones. It's never failed.

  13. Re:Patents on Nokia Receives $1.35B Grant To Develop Graphene Tech · · Score: 1

    Ya no. Also about 25% of the grant will be given to their board of directors as Bonuses!

  14. It's called competetion on Time Warner Boosts Broadband Customer Speed — But Only Near Google Fiber · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's called competition, which is something that has been sorely lacking in the broadband market. It's actually missing in just about any market that is dominated by a few large corporations. See the publishing industry etc.

  15. Not Lazy on Walk or Run: Are We Built To Be Lazy? · · Score: 1

    Not Lazy but Efficient and Adaptable. Most lifeforms adapted to a specific environment we as humans adapted to change.

  16. Wait what? on Credit Card Swipe Fees Begin Sunday In USA · · Score: 0

    Hold on there is a law in texas that actually protects consumers from big business? No way I must of woke up in Bizarro Texas this morning.

  17. Re:The Lens Flare!!! on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now replacing the lightsaber the LensFlare Saber, a weapon for a more digitization age.

  18. Re:Correlation with gender imbalance not gender on Male Scientists More Prone To Misconduct · · Score: 1

    Ya pretty much how I see it as well.

  19. I don't see how this would make us fatter. on Robot Serves Up 360 Hamburgers Per Hour · · Score: 0

    I really don't see how this would make us any fatter. If you think the Fastfood joints are going to lower their prices just because they don't have to pay as many or any workers you're mistaken. They know we are use to paying x amount for a burger and they will all collude to make sure that there is only very minor differences in all their pricing schemes

    .

    The economic issues are more interesting.

  20. Time overflowing on You've Got 25 Years Until UNIX Time Overflows · · Score: 3, Funny

    Time overflowing sounds like a good plot, instead of the usual time repeating, or other cliche time related plots. I'm just curious what the effects of a time overflow would be. *ponders* Maybe a break down in causality?

  21. I think you watch too much Alex Jones Man.

  22. Re:Look at our entire system of prosectution on After Aaron Swartz's Death, the Focus Now Falls On the Prosecutors · · Score: 1

    Ya I really agree with all this but getting it done? ha. I have no faith that anything will change with out blood and flames.

  23. This happens all the time. on The Atlantic's Scientology Advertorial · · Score: 2

    This happens all the time, why do you think we don't have any serious discussion about money in politics. Because the media gets paid because of all the money in politics via ad time etc. Why would the media want to have a discussion about money in politics? They profit from it like crazy.

  24. Anyone else read that as on Symbian Sells Millions, Despite Nokia Pushing Windows Phone · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Anyone else read that as Sybian sells millions?

  25. Really curious what a "moral" Vegan thinks about on In Vitro Grown Meat 'Nearly Possible' · · Score: 2

    I'm really curious what someone who doesn't eat meat for "moral" reasons thinks about this? Would you eat it? Would you not? Why either way?
