  1. console/pc on Online Consoles Marginalizing PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    It's not only consoles or pc that die, it's only users that change.
    The market is always changing and reinventing itself.
    My generation enjoyed the Vcs2600, then the coleco, then...
    Now, most of us feel less like playing.Some will keep playing the same Civilization or Transport Tycoon game after years, other may change for one of these 3D shoot em up which interest resides in the fact you can limit a party to a few minutes without making it less interesting.
    Meanwhile, children are being more and more censored and control by their parents (our generation, indeed) and will sometimes prefer staying near the console/pc, depending on their overall mood.

    I think the above was mismodded because of his tone or because it would be easy to call a troll seombody nickname *.troll, but he's got a point here :
    this soft is about CONTROLLING people and it will for sure piss its (victims|targets) off.

    If parents or whichever authority attempts to control below them on such a preemptive basis, it'll end badly for sure.

    yes... talking about context, having seen the movie helps getting and idea of the context.

    I happened to read the book while attending the Sunday school, I guess this is a good introduction to the depicted subject.

    But the son of God was given to us in the human form. And what I said is that it seems humanly impossible (Health science people correct me if I'm wrong) to survive the first few steps of what Mel depicted as the passion of Christ

    I remember seeing Brazilians or Philipinians (?) crucifying themselves around Easter and eventually repeating the experience year after year...
    Here's a link but as it is on rotten.com, it might be rude (I cannot view it myself as I am behind a firewall).
    OK, here's another which I visited and looks acceptable.

  7. Re:Good idea !!! on Always Look on the Bright Side of Life · · Score: 0

    the Passion is quite exaggerated in the amount of pain endured by Jesus. It would have been a great occasion to show Jesus as an human with great ideas and a good philosophy

    Except that Jesus is not supposed to be a human but the son of God who'd have suffered absolute hatred for us.

    I have not seen the movie nor I am a biggot, but I, at least, try to get an idea of the context and Mel Gibson is supposed to be alittle extremist which at least shows some consistency in the way he shot.

    the unristricted capitalism would lead to monopoly's which is a type of comunism

    It already looks this way, especially in places where the corporation can supply their employees with the home made insurance package, the home-made goods, the home made transportation system, sometimes even the home made housing system...
    And all of this as a tax-exempted salary deduction.
    This is somehow looking like feodalism.

    So what if Microsoft is a monopoly?
    Maybe that's what the market wants,


    if the market was supposed to consist of only ONE vendor, it would be called "MS", not "market".
