I'm still amazed when I see this crap in a place that's I generally hope has the better half of society frequenting it. Nobody decided that Christianity had anything to do with being an asshole when, say, Hitler was doing it but now some guy crashes a plane into a building because the US is being an ass in his home country and it's a religious thing? The AC who posted this is an idiot, the people who modded it up are worse.
Canada does have a law protecting us from frivilous lawsuits. It's some subset of British common-law (some of which still stands here) that pretty much says that if you lose a lawsuit then you pay their bills, too.
See, I've always thought this was a funny type of religious argument. You people always -love- comparing apples and oranges.
Being black is something someone cannot change. They were -born- black. Joining a religios organization, on the other hand, is a choice. And, by being a member, you're advocating the actions of the organization. You have a choice, they don't.
I'm not saying that it's necessarily right to mock religious folk but you're a hell of a lot more responsible for your CHOICE than others are for their SKIN so don't pull this 'mocking Christians is like racism' crap.
Forget conversational ability. I'd like to see a Chess Turing Test, where grandmasters go up against an unknown opponent, and have to ascertain whether they're playing a computer or a machine.
It would be even more impressive if they could tell the difference between a computer and a human

Titanium is only truly useful in something where size doesn't matter. In a bike frame, sure, you can make it thicker and nobody's going to notice but for many other things where having it 3x as thick is going to matter titanium isn't as useful. A titanium knife that's as strong as a steel knige would have to be near 3x as thick...try cutting something with a 1/4" thick metal bar sometime.
Laser microphones have existed for many years. They sense the vibrations in windows or other such things. As for having one sense vibrations within a room...why not just attach a traditional microphone ot the underside of the table?
The other guy's right, the DMCA doesn't mean shit in Canada as long as we're not serving US customers. As a bonus (if I remember correctly), anything broadcast through the air (DirecTV for example) is pretty much open for exploitation here so it's perfectly legal to pirate satellite up her so far as I know. I do know that selling the H cards and whatnot is advertised by TV places in public as is MOD chip selling and installation.
>>Everyone seems to be talking about how easy this will be to pirate. I think the solution is fairly obvious:
One thing about obvious solutions is that if they're so obvious to you then they were probably obvious to others. Once you consider that you have to think about -why- they didn't use such an obvious solution. In this case the reason why not is obvious, too.
Think about the amount of data required to be actually processed in a word-processor or a spreadsheet or any office program. It's miniscule, really. Not a whole lot of processing going on there.
Now, consider how much processor time it takes to run a game with it's AI and all that craziness. The load on the servers would be terrible if they had to run those parts of the game onserver all the time!
Yeah, but did you really deserve an award for balancing a 500 lb stack of weights on a wafer of balsa with a dab of glue on it?

After all you can find other reviews for nothing - but you can't get the games for nothing.
I think I'll let this quote flame itself.
Yeah, the last thing we need is someone blending a computer into this.
That case ROCKS...
