    If I see a rocket launcher, im gonna shoot the guy with it. Its called war, you dont call timeout and ask for everyone on the other team to raise their hands. Youve obviously never been to war. Until you have, keep it to yourself.

  4. Re:And will the standard rates apply? on Rent an iPad For Inflight Entertainment · · Score: 1

    They got real upset when they tried to play their 360 games in the ps3. I think the point of the device is to be preloaded with games and the such, Im sure they could find something entertaining. Anyways, the ipad will be for daddy, the kids can read a damn book. BTW Im not an apple fanboi, ive just been on a few long flights, like nonstop from atlanta to anchorage. I would have gladly rented an ipad to keep me entertained on the long flights.

    Thats funny when I was in basic training I had to go into a small room, with loads of cs gas (tear gas), and no gas mask. I dont recall anyone dying. Room was maybe 12 foot by 15, with at least three canisters of tear gas. The training is mandatory for everyone. (Teaches you to trust your gas mask) Hell you can even get used to the stuff, I remember watching one of the drill sgts. eating an apple in the room, while us newbs were puking. Wheres your sources, cause i call fucking bullshit.

    but as you probably are aware Westerners are seen as extensions of their government and foreign policy

    Muslims are seen as extensions of their fundamentalist governments, and the support they give for jihad. Surely you can see why Muslims have a bad name in the west.

    The whole capitalism argument isnt that strong. How much profit do you think they get serving ads to a third world country? Now how much profit will they loose by pissing off the people in the countries they do make good revenue from? If A>B then yes they did the right thing, i have a sneaking suspicion that B may be greater then A especially if they allow religious groups to continue to dictate what can go on their web page.

  19. Re:EFF Help? on "Install Other OS" Feature Removed From the PS3 · · Score: 1

    Still the same thing in the end, I had something (a feature) which has been removed/taken/locked whatever. This feature was a wanted and used feature of mine. I purchased a PS3 over a 360 partly because of this feature. I now have to choose between two features Linux/PSN. If I had at any time thought that Sony would stop letting me use a feature I would NOT have purchased a PS3. As I do not want a product that the manufacturer can arbitrarily remove a feature. They have (will on april 1st if this isnt a joke) harmed me.

    Looks like a college sponsored event, with help/participation from a local middle school. I assure you they did not do it with "no budget". Somebody has to buy a the equipment. The US gov also sent up balloon like this back in the 40's, its not a achievement because it hasn't been done, its and achievement cause they did it so cheaply.

    http://space.1337arts.com/ Here is more info about their experiment. They paid 150 for all the equipment.

    All of our supplies (including camera, GPS tracking, weather balloon, and helium) were purchased for less than a grand total of $150.

    So the tracking part was included, and if you read just a little farther it says it landed 20 miles away. I don't know home much gas costs around MIT, But I'm gonna assumed they didn't stray past $200.

    P.S. I should have posted that link as well earlier, its linked on the Wired.com page.
