  1. Re:Game? on Can Minecraft Change the Gaming Industry? · · Score: 1

    When I play minecraft, it is certainly a game. I set my own goals for construction and work within the framework provided by the game to achieve it. It's fun. I'm not sure what you're missing.

    I think he's trying to say voxels, not vertexes.

    Seriously embarrassed by what, exactly?

    As long as you can save images to your hard drive, that isn't actually fixable.

    Then it would be similar to creating your own browser to get the other browser makers to improve their javascript and rendering engines, like Chrome.

  8. Re:Hey, idiots on When Software Offends · · Score: 2

    This is the kind of thing that can make women feel uncomfortable. It's tough for men to understand typically, but it's belittling. The reaction a woman often gets when they complain about these things is very dismissive, which makes the whole thing much worse.
    I think the bottom line is that in an open source project, you want to attract talent. Be disrespectful of females, and you lose access to a lot of potential talent. It's a bad move even if you don't understand why it's offensive.

  9. Re:Who knew? on LulzSec Posts First Secret Document Dump · · Score: 1

    I would indeed pay $5 for an apple if it meant that the workers made a living wage and were protected by safety regulations.

  10. Re:This kind of thing could kill facebook... on FTC Okays Social Media Background Check Company · · Score: 1

    Diaspora does this with the whole "aspects" thing. I really, really want that to take off...

  11. Re:Is it just me... on US Funding Stealth Internets to Circumvent Repressive Regimes · · Score: 1

    I don't think anything about wikileaks has ever been censored in the US. If I'm wrong, I want to know though...

  12. Re:Published checkpoint data is exempt from this b on Why Apple's DUI Checkpoint App Ban Is Stupid · · Score: 1

    Not good enough.

    The burden of proof is on the one making the positive claim.

  14. Re:My hands hurt... on Nintendo Announces New Console: Wii U · · Score: 1

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that Nintendo knows a lot more about what they're doing than you do.

  15. Re:My hands hurt... on Nintendo Announces New Console: Wii U · · Score: 1

    It's been stated that the display on the controller is actually streamed from the console in real time. Apparently, this makes the controllers more affordable: they are dumb and probably don't have much in the way of storage.

  16. Re:Doesn't seem like a very good concept on Nintendo Announces New Console: Wii U · · Score: 1

    Based on how I've been playing the DS for the last few years, I really don't think that's a problem. The controller is said to be lighter than it looks, so I think lifting one hand to touch a button on the touch screen would feel as natural as using a tablet.

  17. Re:Wow! Is it reallly HD?? And X-Mas 2012? on Nintendo Announces New Console: Wii U · · Score: 1

    What is the difference between a gimmick and a new feature? It seems everything Nintendo does is called a "gimmick" ever since the Wii was announced. I don't get it. A gimmick is something designed to lure others in... in other words, anything worthwhile about their products is a gimmick.

  18. Re:My hands hurt... on Nintendo Announces New Console: Wii U · · Score: 5, Informative

    IGN's hands on says it's light and comfortable to hold. I think we should hold off judgement until we can hold them ourselves.

    Good. Abort 'em all, I say.

  21. Re:Like Skype? on Google WebRTC: Can It Replace Skype? · · Score: 1

    Perfectly understood, but all I meant to say was that the targeted isn't as bad as only 4.5%. If you're going to pick a single country to deploy a service initially, you could only do better with coverage if you picked China. There are obvious reasons a company like Google would not do that, though.

  22. Re:Because real science is quantitative... on Why We Have So Much "Duh" Science · · Score: 1

    There is such a thing as a specialized science journalist, though. Carl Zimmer is a good example. It's probably much cheaper for a news outlet to ask more generalized writers to summarize science stories though, and misunderstandings are inevitable then.

  23. Re:Like Skype? on Google WebRTC: Can It Replace Skype? · · Score: 1

    The whole "Google voice to replace skype" argument is void if you live outside the US (95.5% of the world).

    It's a small and insignificant point... but while the US has about 4.5% of the world's population, it has 12.2% of the world's internet users.

  25. Re:Sod Final Fantasy on Square Enix Facing Big Losses For 2010 · · Score: 1

    What? Is this true!? It's so strange how some game development studios seem hellbent on abandoning everything that their fans enjoy. It seems to happen very often.
