  1. Bet they can't talk about... on Blizzard CEO Lays Gay Guild Issue To Rest · · Score: 1

    ... pictures of the prophet mohammed.

  2. Re:Is Tivo still relevant? on TiVo to Drop Lifetime Service Plan · · Score: 1

    However much you may dislike commercials, you need to come to terms with the fact that TV is not in fact free,

    You also need to come to terms with the fact that there are many more channels that there need to be, and that most actors, directors etc are earning a sick amount of money - if they got a lower decent salery you could make tv much cheaper. I'll avoid commercials for ever, and if that one day means no more tv, well the loss wasn't that great.

  3. Re:Is Tivo still relevant? on TiVo to Drop Lifetime Service Plan · · Score: 1

    Yeah right, requires linux and mysql - that's to difficult right there.

  4. Not the point on 'No Quick Fix' From Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    As James Lovelock will tell you, its not to combat pollution, it is already too late, it is necessary to build a lot of powerplants to generate the necessary energy when the poles melt and water rises 8 meters, flooding many areas around the world. Which he says will happen within the next 100 years.

  5. Re:Unfortunately, the "proving games" went down on Gold Buying - Time Saver or Cheating? · · Score: 1

    And apparently can't.

  6. Re:George Lucas is wrong on George Lucas Predicts Death of Big Budget Movies · · Score: 1

    Reductio ad Jar Jar.

    Put a tip in the jar jar!

  7. Re:It has the ability to ruin the game on Gold Buying - Time Saver or Cheating? · · Score: 1

    Of course you haven't presented any proof of that.

  8. Re:Think of the Economy! on Gold Buying - Time Saver or Cheating? · · Score: 1

    Yeah right, after a year i still don't have the 1000 gold for a horse.

  9. Re:There is a third option on Gold Buying - Time Saver or Cheating? · · Score: 1

    And when you grow up little Tim, you will learn how to present an argument in favor of your opinion.

  10. It can be both on Gold Buying - Time Saver or Cheating? · · Score: 1

    If its against their rules it could be called a cheat, but its also clearly a shortcut - but i don't think most people really care. Witness they had a poll on Everquest and most people didn't care, so Sony started selling stuff. The ones who whine are kids who have no money, but they have oodles of time to play around the clock and get really leet - where an adult has not, so he tries to buy a level playing field :) The world is not fair and balanced, its naive to think that games would.

  11. Re:George Lucas is wrong on George Lucas Predicts Death of Big Budget Movies · · Score: 1

    Movies now are much more than what they were 20 years ago.

    Yeah, much more rubbish.

  12. Re:George Lucas is wrong on George Lucas Predicts Death of Big Budget Movies · · Score: 1

    The great thing about what we have is that the free market has provided growth every step of the way.

    Funny, when you have constant growth in the body they call it cancer.

  13. Re:George Lucas is wrong on George Lucas Predicts Death of Big Budget Movies · · Score: 1

    Hey, I don't like copyright much either :)

  14. He overlooks on George Lucas Predicts Death of Big Budget Movies · · Score: 1

    the amorality of copyright - you make a product and can make money of it forever after. On and most Hollywood films are crap ;)

  15. Re:might seem a little aloof on AOL Won't Budge on Email Tax · · Score: 1

    So use google groups ;)

  16. So what? on New Asteroid Becomes Earth's Biggest Threat · · Score: 1

    According to James Lovelock, civilization will fall in the next 100 years anyway as the effects of global warming will totally change the climate on a world that wasn't ready for it.

  17. Another bad child moderator stalking people on We Don't Need No Stinkin' Broadband · · Score: 1

    Grow up and do your job correctly kid! Or don't "moderate" at all.

  18. Huh? on We Don't Need No Stinkin' Broadband · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So that's 45+30+14+10+5+5= 109 accounted for - so how many DO have broadband? ;)

  19. What they really want... on Sony Rootkit may Lead to Regulation · · Score: 1

    ...is to buy the technology so they can keep an eye on all you terrorists out there ;)

  20. Re:ABC80! on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    I probably do too - and I came across the manual last year :)

  21. You forgot on Time To Stop Calling Them Games? · · Score: 1

    Games like EQ - which is more like work. They expect you to show up at certain times and put in several hours of solid work ;)

  22. ABC80! on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    Ah, those were the days - remember Masken? :)

  23. Re:Pardon my ignorance but on Pittsburgh Professors Challenge Darwin · · Score: 1

    I'm so glad you explained it in simple terms.

  24. Shouldn't it be episode two? on Half-Life 2 Gets Episode 1 · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps even 3 if you count the first game?

  25. Re:Interesting... on 20th Century Warmest In 1200 Years · · Score: 1

    You are the crackpot - are you eating dust?
