  5. Re:Sci-fi not predicting far enough? on Has Sci-Fi Run Out of Steam? · · Score: 1

    You're wrong. deus is actually a quite regular noun, and so is machina. It's never di, ever. In the context of: . I can come up with my own deus ex machinas, thank you. 'deus ex machina', Englished, then pluralized, would be Gods from Machines, because anything else sounds just plain wierd. Therefore, in latin, it's Dei ex Machinas. And, Ablative is not a tense, and we're not talking about the vocative. Obviously, if 'from' took the ablative case in english, it's retarded, because WE DON'T HAVE AN ABLATIVE CASE. And, when cicero said "O di immortales," that's the vocative.

  8. Re:Not News!! on In Test, Windows 7 Vulnerable To 8 Out of 10 Viruses · · Score: 1

    You know, having zero doubt about anything is pretty nice and fluffy to have. So, for this, i'm sorry: I have a 17' laptop, Ubuntu 9.10 installs on it flawlessly. Every time i put in the winsux install disk and boot it up, it bluescreens. I don't know if that's 'vastly superior', but in my humble experience, both Linux and windows have supported hardware the exact same, until i got me a shiny new 17' laptop.

  9. 7 or 8? on In Test, Windows 7 Vulnerable To 8 Out of 10 Viruses · · Score: 1

    So, the article says 8 out of ten, and so does the summary title. The summary says that 7 out of 10 viruses ran. Last i checked, 7/10 != 8/10. Oh wait, it's Windoze, it must depend on the square root of the number of minutes until the next hour.

  12. Re:TJ on EA Spends 3x More On Marketing Than Development · · Score: 1

    Yup, I remember seeing their logo suddenly appear at the start of Westwood games after one update, just before the games began to suck. Definitely a brand to avoid.

    Earth and Beyond was ****ing amazing. that was when they published good games. Then, they canceled it. Then they started making crap games. Then Spore redeemed them, a little bit. Tiberian Sun was great. Keep in mind that for the good games, EA was the publisher, and NOT the developer, so as a developer, avoid them. As a publisher, whatever.

    One word helped me understand: Fanboys Especially with the app store, the idea had already existed for a long time, but pretty much wasn't used. Somehow, when apple comes out with something innovative, all previous existences of the same idea are wiped from the collective puiblic's mind, much like 1984, but controlled by a corporation and not the government. Nokia had an app store for a long time, t-mobile had T-zones, and there were probably others that i dont know about, including nintendo's online store(even though its not mobile). The way i see it, apple took Nintendo's online store (because it was the best) and put it on a phone with a touchscreen, which wasn't an original idea from apple either.

    I've noticed that a lot of people(not you, just in general) think that Aspbergers makes people stupid, but really it doesn't. I, for one, am more on the side that Aspbergers is a lot like being a Vulcan, because all of the people with Aspbergers that i know are much smarter than average, like me, but not so much as my 6th grade cousin who is taking Calculus at the local college.
