    The Romans killed Jesus...

    Somewhat true, but it would be more accurate to say that the Roman Empire killed Jesus. (For bonus points, the government of one outpost of the Roman Empure killed Jesus)

    ...but the Jews condemned him.

    Wrong. A few Jews in small region condemned him, perhaps even limited to one very small sect of them. All Jews didn't condemn Jesus (he was Jewish, as were many of his followers, he was basically advocating Judaism 2.0 at the time, this was changed after his death to a "revolution" by catering to the Greeks), probably most Jews of the time never even heard of him, or didn't really care one bit what he was saying since he was just one "messiah" among many at the time.

    Yes, but who shot first?

    Earlier she had told the House she did not even know how file-sharing through peer-to-peer systems worked.

    So she votes to make something illegal that she doesn't even understand? I guess that's what happens when laws are rushed through under urgency. One can only assume that this was one of the terms with Warner to keeping The Hobbit in NZ.

    I don't really know how fraud and money laundering work, so does that mean I can get away with it in NZ provided I get a friend to deal with the details.

    The article only shows half the story.

    Ms Lee said last night the compilation was made of songs that were legally downloaded and paid for. "I'm not a pirate. I have never downloaded anything illegally in my life." Earlier she had told the House she did not even know how file-sharing through peer-to-peer systems worked.

    Unless she paid for and downloaded the tunes herself isn't that still the same thing? By their rules that is.

  8. Re:wat on Steam Success Holding Up Half-Life Development? · · Score: 1

    For the most part it isn't up to the developers. The funding comes from a company that expects a product on a certain timeline. Valve has the advantage of being financially self-sufficient ... so they don't have to answer to anyone but their customers. Valve is quite the anomaly among game developers.

    Sounds alot like 3d Realms, let's hope Ep3 isn't the new DNF.

    How many games these days really do offer co-op gaming? I mean, so far I haven't seen a SINGLE game in years that offers the ability for you to play through the story mode with a friend/spouse/etc. No, they're all just rehashes of CTF or deathmatch, and those are stuffed in every single god damn game, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. But why, oh, why no co-op, ever?

    Umm, Halo series, Gears of War, OFP Dragon Rising and upcoming Red River, Armored Core For Answer, Borderland, Saints Row 2 all say hello. You can play full story mode co-op in all those, and that just on 360 and just off the top of my head.

    fucking semantics. what is the real difference between claiming that you calculated that on your track it would run out after 55 miles, and saying that it's range is only 55 miles?

    You don't see car manufacturers complain when *motoring show/magazine* says that on a track a car with stated MPG of say 15 averages say 7.5. Heavy sustained driving like that takes more juice, regardless of if its juice juice or just regular juice. I bet their 211 range claim is based on driving at 30 without turning or stopping or such nonsense.

    To be fair they're not charging for the netflix use. They are saying to use the app on the xbox you have to be a gold member.

If you have relatively modern tv you should be able to hook up the pc or laptop or whatever to it for less than the price of a live sub.
