  1. Re:reluctant? on Cablevision Suing Viacom Over Cable Bundling · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm not sure I can find a single instance where getting TV+Internet is cheaper than just internet.

    None of them are reluctant and you can find the option for internet only from each provider I checked.

    However, how is it fair to be forced to give up my PC to a 3rd party all based on an IP address. It sucks that it leaves little room for investigating copyright infringement but someone shouldn't have their lives turned upside down, even temporarily, based on just an IP address.

    I can't be sure since I don't own a PS3 and it's a bit hard to track down info online since it seems Sony has messed with the way auto start works.

    There are some relevant settings under Settings/System Settings/ Disc Auto Start

    BUT

    There's conflicting info on if this will boot to disc upon turning the console on or just when a disc is inserted and the PS3 is already on. Some also mentioned that it doesn't work if there is more than one gamer profile on the PS3.

    If trying to find it truly kicks your ass, electronics might not be your thing.

    That's okay though, they still make board games.

    Don't know, he probably didn't ask.

    However that has nothing to do with the comment of yours I was replying to.

    You're right because it's impossible to have a 240v outlet to plug into when at home...

    9 hours for a full charge

    You can further drop that to 5 hours.

    And yet you can have it boot directly to whatever game is in the drive. Wouldn't impact your gaming at all.

    It would seem that when some people think of DOOM, they think great dialog and a deep and compelling story. Not sure wtf gave them that idea.

    Aye, instead the internet should be nothing but pay walls.

    Your only options will be Geocities level free sites or to pay to see anything worth while.

    This doesn't just target the modders, it targets EVERYONE that happens to be in a game with people that enable this option.

  13. Re:Where are the mid-American datacenters on New York Data Centers Battle Floods, Utility Outages · · Score: 2

    You might be correct but keep in mind that there are other limitations as well. Cost and need for cooling, talent, price of utilities and infrastructure (not just utilities but potentially network related as well).

    However there has to be something behind the idea of data centers in the midwest, at the very least Iowa is home to a Google data center.

    I don't walk in a bad neighborhood, I don't get shot/stabbed/robbed.

    It doesn't mean we all hide in our homes for fear of going outside and it sure as fuck doesn't mean we place blame on someone who didn't initiate the violent act.

    They are not police except in the cases where it's an actual officer is acting as dispatcher and there is still zero legal obligation to do what a dispatcher tells you to do. They aren't there, they don't have all the facts and have no legal or moral authority to give you orders that you must adhere to.

  17. Re:Blame the victim much on Judge Rules Defense Can Use Trayvon Martin Tweets · · Score: 1

    And you're basing that on what? Surely not the law or what the majority of people would feel is an adequate response. You being followed is NEVER a reason to instigate a physical confrontation.

    There is nothing showing that Zimmerman initiated the physical attack.

    You had a shitty lawyer, would have been easy to argue that you were afraid for your life, that is unless you decided to throw the first punch.

    Police didn't tell him shit, a 911 dispatcher did (hint, you are under no legal obligation to do a damn thing that a dispatcher tells you), his only response was "Ok". In 2 different posts you've made up completely different quotes of his, you can't even keep your false statements consistent even minutes apart.

    Following someone isn't stalking them, it isn't hunting them down, stop using loaded phrases. If he suspects someone of illegal doing, he can legally follow them, if someone else initiates a physical attack on him, he's allowed to defend himself, even if it's with a gun.

    The only thing that doesn't wash is your ability to fabricate every bit of "evidence" you've claimed.

    So following someone gives them the right to assault you? But being assaulted isn't enough reason to defend yourself ?

    How many other "facts" do you want to make up? Your entire post reads like a fantasy novel and takes away any bit of credibility you might have had. Shit, you even made up the supposed direct quotes from him you use.

    A fist fight can easily end in the death of one of the parties. If you didn't start the fight, is your only option supposed to be lay there and take it? Hope you don't end up dead by the time the attacker stops?

    Non-lethal self defense training or not, you pull a knife and get close to an officer, you're getting shot and rightfully so.

  23. Re:Twitteratus on Judge Rules Defense Can Use Trayvon Martin Tweets · · Score: 0

    I really wish there was a mod option "Dumbass" as that's the only fitting description I can think of for your post.

    The prosecution will make an issue during their case (and the media has tried this plenty) that Trayvon just wasn't an aggressive person, he wouldn't have started a fight as stated by the defendant, he doesn't have any history of violence or aggressive behavior. The defense has every right to disprove that notion especially if proof exists to counter that claim, the proof in this case comes in the form of Facebook, Twitter and school records. The point isn't that Zimmerman knew about the postings and records before hand but that the postings and records prove a history of aggressive behavior on Trayvons part.

    If you can't figure that out then it would seem my desire to mod this post "Dumbass" has merit.

  24. Re:As much as I like Jared, I differ here on Congressman Warns FTC: Leave Google Alone · · Score: 2

    I think what bugs me the most is that the FTC announced they were looking into Google, Announcing that you want to look into them comes across more as a threat than anything else. No need to make some public show of it, you inform Google and you start your investigation, don't drag it into the public eye unless you have some proof and you're actually starting some sort of hearing/trial against them.

    Aye I'm not sure why the poster decided to put that bit on the news stations when it was mainly the government that was holding to the protest gone bad story. The media got a hold of the real story rather early.
