    When did this happen? Let me know when you can state facts rather than Faux News blurbs (tm).

    And... so? I mean, what do you care? Clicking on some type of "next" for subsequent pages is quite common. What's your real problem here? It's obviously not the fact they're getting ad revenue. You've got a different chip on your shoulder. Did they not choose your game?

    And to be fair, my respect to your Grandfather for his resistance to the Japanese invasion. A horrible, horrible thing is war.

    As far as your roommate's Grandfather, none of us were there. There may have been no choice on what side to fight.

    Also...

    The US south is not already separate, nor is Quebec already separate. You don't see Canada firing missiles "across the strait" when Quebec holds a referendum, do you?

    Toe the party line, Xiao Mao.

  6. Re:I am an student from China on China Bans Game Recognizing Taiwan Independence · · Score: 1

    Well, well, well. I lived in Taiwan for a couple years and feel I can talk to this.

    Japan occupied Taiwan for almost 50 years prior to 1949 and the revolution. Fair enough, you won it back (actually, didn't the US, Britain and the Commonwealth win it for you?) But that's not the point. The people of Taiwan don't want to be part of China. They consider themselves separate. So it is. It's not your place to tell them where they belong, is it?

    Waterworld, great movie. And that Costner, what an actor. I'd love to see him team up with Barney Rubble.

  10. Re:Someone making FS3 would be good on Derek Smart Lusting Rights To Freespace? · · Score: 1

    This can't be true. Here's my point: why would you buy the sequel (is there one?) if you'd bought the original? I think it's obvious, anyone having seen the original would *never* consider shelling out money again for that crap:)

    "accused the russians of ruinin ghte game of chess by always playing for mates against eachother and always playing western masters for the win"

    What? I think you forgot to check the quote. In this context "mates" and "win"(s) means the same thing. Perhaps "draws" against each other and wins against the west?

    ...but as far as democracies go we've raised the "artform" to a new level.

  13. Re:will this deliver where Jini didn't? on Apple Releases Rendezvous for Linux, Java, Windows · · Score: 1

    The question is: where, for you, did Jini not deliver?

    For certain problems, more than people might realize, Jini is delivering now. We use it at work and love it. Caveat is of course, right tool, right job. For us it is.

    Dude, are *you* serious? I made a point, which you seem to have grossly misinterpeted. I admit that perhaps the question was better written "Should we?", but I only want the question asked.

    I really have no idea how science really works. Guess what, I'm not a scientist. No, not going to learn how real scientists go about their work either... we all specialize in our respective careers. I'm sure the majority live by a code of ethics that I would approve of, while a minority don't. So don't ask me to be naive and trust all scientists to behave ethically.

    By asking "must we?", I would hope that your question of "how?" gets careful and serious consideration. I believe we both share the feeling that it should be done carefully, right?

    Now, as far as "reactionary"? You, sir, fairly exploded on me.

    You know... I agree. Looking at the spammers is indeed a great place to start. And don't worry, I do not think they have a trace of morals:)

    I for one am absolutely sick of their attitudes, tactics and utter lack of respect for others. They have the audacity to hide behind "capitalism" and some "right" to make money in their dealings.

    Sometimes I just like playing devil's advocate.

    There's no connection proven yet between the ddos and spammers. That's like the fact that no WMDs being found proves they're there and hidden.
