  1. Re:WOW! on Calling the Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    thats way too expensive. Get a million people off the planet, maybe, after that just blow the rest up, its just not worth it.

  2. Re:MMORPG's are going on The Future of MMORPGs · · Score: 1

    I'm just waiting for a Fancy Graphical pure MUSH, one giant freaken sandbox of fun for the geek inside us all. Of course people will program neat little objects and then sell them in the real world, but if you can sell your programs, why not.

  3. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Trial Begins Over Library Censorship · · Score: 1

    Yes, in the same way that the government can't go around burning books. They also can't tell the libraries what books to buy (except material that is obsence, which can only legally be labeled on the absolute sickest stuff, most commonly child porn). Weither such policies extend to the internet hasn't been decided yet.

  5. Re:Of it is on Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos · · Score: 1

    And thats just what they want you to think, have you tried the user made map 2 hills. simply amazing shit. Though from what I've been able to figure out this game is going to have amazing single player, (in single player mode your hero keeps gaining strength each new game) thats going to be more like diablo, with warcraft style mixed in. Now their only problem is figuring out how to make the multiplayer battles be something new, that may not happen till worlds of warcraft comes out.

    If the food is worth getting slapped, sure, its all about weighing the cost benifit. Blizzard bas pretty much laid off on bnet, realizing they can't control them now they are going for tech solutions which is more them just having lotsa fun seeing if they can win one over on the hackers, though most likly not.

  7. Re:Biblical Pi on Simpsons Guide to Math · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The dead sea scrolls also had the old testament text in it, word for word. Proving in hebrew it hasn't been changed. Obviously translations have been changed horribly. Anyways, the fact that the hebrew language is based on math is real. Basically what is happening with the the two words is you are having one word which basically means line, and this new word which was translated to mean line, but probably means "circle line" or something, which creates a ratio of the difference between the told distance and the real distance. Not too difficult to imagine something like that existing really. BTW I'm not saying this whole weird bible code is correct or even that the bible is gods word, but simply that the hebrew language has a word that mathematically stood for this.

    Well you could pay money for someone to coligrafy (spelling) it. That would definatly get you attention.

    Dumbshit dumbshit dumbshit, geez I HATE correcting people on this, the language of hebrew was math based, and the word they used for line was different from the word they normally used, and if you (divided the new by the original word) * 3 you got 3.141 something or other (not exactly right but a close enough for making a round pool. I think I'll look it up for you, but I don't care right now dumbshit. Search google for pi in the bible.

  14. Re:We don't want it both ways. on DMCA Hurts Copyright Holders, Too · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the DMCA gives ISP's no libility if they remove the content upon notification. Napster didn't, I assume AOL did (though you can't truly remove anything from the web once its already there, especially from usenet, but thats another story)

  15. We can't have it both ways. on DMCA Hurts Copyright Holders, Too · · Score: 1

    Just because its the little guy we can turn around and say that everyone has to be liable because his work got out. In this case AOL was simply providing a medium, and are no more reponcible than any other ISP should be.
    God I wish I can gotten more sleep so I could have made this argument intelligently.

  16. Re:Oh my. on Resident Evil · · Score: 1

    Think I saw a demo of the once, was moving away from BBS's to the internet at that point in time and never really played much with it. Technology a bit to late, could have definatly used it though, I had a 2400 till the 28.8's showed up believe it or not sad but true story of a poor man.

  17. Re:The precedent on Pennsylvania Law Requires ISPs to Block Child Porn · · Score: 1

    How is this different though from when the feds order a ISP to block other illegal content, some of which (DMCA) the ISP must block or face legal consiquences. A law that says its illigal to knowingly distribute illigal content really is a law that doesn't have to be written down. (kowningly because the isp is notified of the address to block)

  24. Re:The Senator from Disney on Fox Explains Why SSSCA Is Bad · · Score: 1

    What about paid for advertisements. The person has a 1st amendment right to speach, which includes posing and advertisement. There have been rules placed on this though, most of which havn't been challenged in court. Would you say the person running the ad shouldn't be able to say who they are, or as currently they are required to say who they are, in case of slander or to avoid pretending they are someone else. BTW this is whats called soft-money.

    Of course we would need to change the fact that currently corperations are considered citizens and get all the rights of such. As your rule would be unconstitutional otherwise. But it really is an interesting idea. I'll have to throw it around see if I can think of any major problems
