  1. Re:Let's wait and see on Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced · · Score: 1

    Parasite Eve wasn't so much an RPG as it was an interactive movie.

  2. Re:sigh on Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced · · Score: 1

    Same here, but Final Fantasy VIII is where they jumped the shark in my opinion. I do like the spin-offs like Tactics, Crisis Core & Dissidia, but I don't think I can be bothered to play a FF RPG ever again.

  3. Sounds like... on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Dr. Fredric Wertham all over again.

  4. Re:This one makes some sense on FBI Seeks Suspect's Web Game Records · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's not spelled out in small words on Wikipedia, but that's basically how it works. I've had to "help" Baker act people on two separate occasions. Once due to a friend taking way too much LSD & once due to a neighbor's schizophrenic episodes. The police are still involved, it's not like you can just go sign them up at the hospital.

  5. Re:This one makes some sense on FBI Seeks Suspect's Web Game Records · · Score: 1

    But it is very hard to help the mentally ill against their will.

    Not in Florida. All you need is three people requesting that you be Baker acted.

  6. Re:I'm bracing myself on T-Mobile Slashes Fair Use Policy, Says Download At Home · · Score: 1

    But the article is about T-Mobile, not Verizon.

  7. Re:Bait & switch on T-Mobile Slashes Fair Use Policy, Says Download At Home · · Score: 1

    Actually, in the US this would constitute a materially adverse change to your contract & by law they'd have to let anyone who requested it out of their contract with no fee.

  8. Re:I have a much more ambitious vision on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 2

    Sounds a bit like Huxley's Brave New World minus the genetic tampering.

  9. Re:My kids are not vaccinated. on Famous British Autism Study an 'Elaborate Fraud' · · Score: 1

    Aww, someone upset because someone else pointed out you were a fool?

  10. Bioware on Why Creators Should Never Read Their Forums · · Score: 1

    Thank DEITY$ Bioware doesn't do this. NWN wouldn't have been half as good if they had ignored the input of their players. The same is probably true for their other games, but NWN sticks out in my head as a game that the devs actually listened to the players for the most part.

  11. Re:TSA Agents on One Tip Enough To Put Name On Terrorist Watch List · · Score: 1

    That is genius.

  12. Re:Italy won't get any more of my money. on YouTube Legally Considered a TV Station In Italy · · Score: 2

    And who voted that clueless politician in again?

  13. Re:This is what happens... on YouTube Legally Considered a TV Station In Italy · · Score: 1

    Let's see what happens when *Google* starts banning Italy.

  14. Re:When did Italy turn into on YouTube Legally Considered a TV Station In Italy · · Score: 1

    Wow, 16 years. 16 years is way too long for an upper leadership role in any supposedly democratic country.

  15. Re:YouTube will have the last laugh on YouTube Legally Considered a TV Station In Italy · · Score: 1

    Google should one-up Berlusconi & block Italian IPs throughout all it's servers.

  16. Re:I have to deal with this all the time.... on The Right's War On Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    *Politicians* usually work incrementally.

    There, I fixed that for you.

  17. Re:Oh they've learned something alright ... on WikiLeaks Continues To Fund Itself Via Flattr · · Score: 1

    Supposing I have copies of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights in my lap, which parts should I start reading to find these rights? Maybe you're from a different country than I am, so who grants these rights to whom and why?

    No debate needed. According to the Supreme Court, you can start with the 9th Amendment in the Constitution & follow that up with the 3rd, 4th & 5th. None of which affords any inherent right of privacy to the U.S. government.

  18. Re:Oh they've learned something alright ... on WikiLeaks Continues To Fund Itself Via Flattr · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a great start.

  19. Re:Oh they've learned something alright ... on WikiLeaks Continues To Fund Itself Via Flattr · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oh , and ssshhh! We won't mention Assanges mind bogglingly hypocritical whinge about his case details being leaked...

    Oh look, another idiot that can't understand the difference between a government's inherent right to privacy & an individual's inherent right to privacy.

  20. Re:We already know that. on WikiLeaks Continues To Fund Itself Via Flattr · · Score: 2

    I actually had no idea, I thought the only way to donate to Wikleaks right now was via Xipwire.

  21. Come on Slashdot... on Woman Sues Google Over Street View Shots of Her Underwear · · Score: 0

    Come on Slashdot...

    Stop feeding the crazies. I hope Google counter-sues her frivolous ass into the poorhouse.

  22. Re:It's business on WikiLeaks App Removed From Apple Store · · Score: 1

    But they kicked & screamed that this would harm the military & our spies as soon as the leaks hit, thus rendering your whole line of "damage control" reasoning invalid.

  23. Re:Wait... on McDonald's Hacked and Customer Data Stolen · · Score: 1

    Never heard of them. After a bit of research I've discovered that they are only in North Carolina, so fat lotta good that does anyone.

  24. Re:"Publicly" available on WikiLeaks App Removed From Apple Store · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I find it hilarious that you don't know the difference between publicly available & copyright infringement.

    p.s. the cables aren't under copyright either.

  25. Re:It's business on WikiLeaks App Removed From Apple Store · · Score: 2

    ...proceeds going to the families of the Intelligence agents and sources who are killed from it's release.

    You're making shit up. Please stop.
