    Its still rocket science and that is a dangerous field, also the rotten old shuttles may be more complex, but at the end of the day they are strapped to the same style bottle rockets

    Clerks are stupid, and slow, like the guy at food lion today who tried to sell me on a MVP card for XX seconds while I was buying a single roll of wax paper

    if they offered a self service lane I would have been in it, aside from line time it would have taken 15 seconds to check out, but I got some retiree blabbling on about the mvp card for damn near a minuet, then wanted to fucking talk about the Titans over a 1.85$ single item purchase, while OMG, I was trying to get shit done

    never mind the fuckwit at walmart that Frisbeed my eggs damn near 2 foot down the line while yappin to some other employee last week

    yea I understand that after reading the website,but I still dont get why some dude putting together a kit is front page news, the story should be about the machine, not photos from someone who successfully followed instructions

    course I cant see the original post but ... it seems like a maker bot with a print buffer? ok fine cool I guess if you want it (I have not seen many uses for it other than toy models, boxes and the occasional hose fitting) but why are we all yippiee about someone putting together a kit?

    also I think were done here, you either beleive sony is a god like entinty who became drunk with power over its users or you thin 100% of this is piracy ignoring the fact that they have had a neo-geo for the last number of years and are reaping the rewards of being assheaded about their precious 720p AMD-XP era console and cant move on

    choice is yours

  15. Re:4 years on PS3 With 3.50 Firmware Jailbroken Without Downgrade · · Score: 1

    good question, but it did not stifle the creativity of the console

    point is sony is looking for an excuse

    it did not get cracked for nearly 4 years cause it had homebrew capability, although gimped, the remove that provision and OMFG its piracy!!!

    4 years hardly, its been a large handful of months at best starting with the removal of linux on older consoles (sorry if you bought a newer one it was not in the deal) so its hardly a fair comparison, sony only gets screwed over when it screws its (limited per use) customers, and is so damn thickheaded it cant see that, the ball is unleashed sony is doomed, and fuck-em personally

  17. Re:4 years on PS3 With 3.50 Firmware Jailbroken Without Downgrade · · Score: 1

    they made plenty of games, just most of them sucked, so it was cracked so people could do something with their 200$ dust collector

    besides that argument doesn't hold water, look at the DS, it was stupid easy to run homebrew and backup / pirate games, and you did not have to re crack it every firmware update. And yet it sold a ton of units along with tons of games

    Sony was delusional, we are playstation there is no possible way we could have a library of suck! it must be piracy, it must be UMD, it must be blah blah blah. And when the parent is stomping around having a hissy fit how do you expect the child to act?

  18. Re:4 years on PS3 With 3.50 Firmware Jailbroken Without Downgrade · · Score: 1

    well I was given my psp because the owner was so bored with it due to the lack of non crap titles, I have only kept a grand total of 4 games that I like since I have had it in 2006, and there for quite a while it was my only console so I was buying and trading them in like magic cards.

    so in answer to your question the feature that sony removed from the psp was quality software, something the ps1 and ps2 had no problem with

    no one was really trying that hard for 3.5 of those 4 years, until they started removing features "just because"

    sony's other current gen console has been gang rapped so many times they even removed the disc drive

    I dont know about the PS3, I refuse to pay previously 2 car payments and now 1 for a 6 year old gimped pc, but on the PSP 80% of its usefulness came from home brew, cause shit, what else were you going to do with it and its maybe 6 decent games?

  23. Re:And computers used to cost millions of dollars on GM Loses Money On Every Volt Built · · Score: 1

    well its not really new, there have been electic cars since there was cars, it was very economical for local delivery trucks and what not post war war I

    my problem with it is, what has GM done since WWI to actually improve it? its still a basic electric motor and a fuckton of heavy batteries that suck a blistering amount of wattage out of the wall

      it has better range yes, but at a much less of a load capacity from 1920

    this is new and innovative? GM is a failure, and has been for 20+ years

    I have been on the side of let them fail, cause shit man they will anyway were just pissing away a unimaginable amount of money to delay it

    I had the 1.2 mbps service it was just fine, until it broke and I spent every night for 2 weeks fighting with india support, buying all new crap, rewiring my system 3 times, just to notice the fucking exchange box was wide open and half ripped apart 2 blocks down the street

    another fine example is the time I was outside holding the cut and frayed end of the phone line in my hand and they refused to help me until I reset my modem, cause from their end they "showed no problems"

    it works fine until it breaks, then good fucking luck
