  1. Re:Remember SWG? on SOE Officially Announces The Agency, FreeRealms · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's a tall order. They removed 37 individual professions which you could mix and match, and made 9 'iconic' professions that best fit a 12 year olds idea of what star wars is about. That's just the tip of a very large ice berg. It was a sandbox game for the most part. It was YOUR adventure, now it's just one of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess leia, etc... SOE completely re-worked the game, and forced a lot of players out that had the money to maintain multiple accounts. It is no longer an adults game.

    You can do the research for the rest. The detractors of what SWG once was are the same 12 year old audience that it was changed to impress.

    When did SOE buy Sigil? Got a link?

  4. Re:Nerds can be so stupid sometimes on Breakthrough Brings Star Trek Transporter Closer · · Score: 1

    Yeah, especially the use of a transport would be a good way to get the hot amazon babes past their parents and into the basement where they can be usedfull.

  5. Re:IANAP.... on Breakthrough Brings Star Trek Transporter Closer · · Score: 1

    So, nobody has A) manipulated an entangled particle while B) someone at the other entangled particle observes it's state without the person at B knowing what the person at A is doing? In other words, A would send a dot signal (binary would work), and B receives the signal and writes it down as 'the message'?

    something like that.

    Someone can say 'yeah, we sent data instantaneously across a billion gajillion miles', but that would be useless for anything at all if the data is worthless untill the sender and receiver compare notes.

  6. Re:The ultimate time share on First Nations Want Cellphone Revenue · · Score: 1

    You went through all that trouble to set up a lousy pun? Who do you think you are? Seinfeld?

  7. Re:Stop the insanity. on First Nations Want Cellphone Revenue · · Score: 1

    "If people are really interested in native americans succeeding give them some damn role models! Have a doctor or lawyer show where a primary character is native, smart, and doesn't start talking about native rituals or ancient wisdom every chance they get."

    What? And give up one of the lamest, and easiest plot devices ever? What good is an aboriginal if it doesn't bang on a drum, chant incoherently (even for a native), dance around dressed in as little as possible, or have facial tattoos? Who would use a doctor or lawyer that's dressed in buck skin anyway?

    "They are born harmed, they live harmed, and they will die harmed,"

    Sounds like they should just kill themselves.

  9. Yeah, just wait till it breaks on Robot for India's Moon Mission by IIT Kanpur · · Score: 1

    They'll have to give the phone tech the name of the person it's registered to, and then they'll be told to reboot the robot.

  10. Re:Rather one sided. on Nortel Strong-Arms Open Source Vendor Fonality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It just looks one sided. He certainly gave Nortel and Blade a chance to air their side of the story, and they declined. Their silence makes it one sided.

  11. This is important stuff! on A "Bill of Lights" to Restrict LEDs on Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    It should be right behind freeing Paris Hilton, and way ahead of such things as, say... curing cancer.

  12. Re:This is on TV tonight on Scientologists In Row With BBC · · Score: 1

    Scientology religon IS the same as the Church of Scientology. Only a delusional 'ex-scientologist' that still believes the core beliefs instead of admitting they were taken to the cleaners can even try to make a statement such as yours.

    This is what happens when the front guy (SCO in this caes) fails, and the real boss (Microsoft) must step up and handle things him/herself.

    You know it's coming folks. War is peace, freedom is slavery. More and more, companies and people are using phraseology, spurious logic, and blatant redefinition to justify doing evil things.

    If you wish, then go ahead and carry the taint of evil with you, participate in evil all you wish, and continue your justifications for that participation.

  24. Re:Things like this are easy to fix. on Google's Evil NDA · · Score: 1

    You have the outward attitude of a slave master, you see everything you do as having an effect on everyone around you, as if the world revolved around your action. That attitude is the pinnacle of hubris. Speaking of slaves, in your world slavery would be 'okie-dokie' if it fit your 'cultural lens.' My moral code effects my actions, not others actions. I, for one, will not associate with such an evil as Google. I've went so far as to terminate a support contract with a company that expected me to support another evil company. My code drives my actions, your code evidently drives others actions. You, are an enabler, a part of the problem, and not part of the solution. Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

    Yeah, your right. That's a good reason to badmouth christians. Let's not even mention that islamics are led by a ragtag zealots that make the worst christian look like chior boys (no pun intended). A reasonable person knows that not all muslims are terrorists, and a reasonable person also recognizes that muslims have a higher rate of becoming terrorists. Something about most of them being arabs, and arabs are fucking crazy culturally.
