    Because we like to write the way we talk. English speakers prefer to say July 7th instead of 7th of July.

  5. Re:There is no "net" to be "neutral" with. on The Real Issue With Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I've always been a fan of C. Dispite personally being pro free market. Most roads are operated by the government for this reason. There are some community owned and private last mile roads as well as private (toll) expressways. But I wouldn't have a problem with this in the internet but currently most of the internet roads were built with tax payer money but still owned by local companies. This is the worse situation. No community planner would ever envisions doing this to our roads.

  6. Played Narbacular drop. on Valve Opens The Portal · · Score: 1, Troll

    I have a copy of Narbacular drop, and while its interesting its definatly error prone, ie often forgets to draw things that are supposed to be there. Havn't been able to complete the demo because of this. But it is interesting. I assume they didn't hire these guys for their excellent coding skills :)

    Beutiful, you get the government to end its support of telecom monopolies and I'll stop supporting Net Neutrality.. Deal?

    And all those games are for free it seems. There really is no market for purchasing these games. It would be nice to see some people actually making money of some high quality adventure games.

    25Gb BluRay instead of a 30Gb HD-DVD.

    Hold on I was sure the blueray was the bigger size?

  10. So what do we make of this? on HD DVD vs Blu-ray Direct Comparisons · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So are the image problems are result of the encoding technique used on the blue-ray? You'd think with the increase in disc size that they would use a better scheme. Is this a fault of the movie producer or Sonys default encoding scheme? Anyone have any ideas???

  12. Re:I don't get it. on Common Sense Beats Out MN Games Law · · Score: 1

    The cursing isn't helping your argument. But either way..

    These lawmakers have to know after repeated rulings of unconstitutionality that this type of law won't stick around.

    My post was a responce to this fact. The lawmakers don't CARE if it gets shot down just the media effect of their vote. And they definatly don't want to educate the populus as you speak.

    DUH!
    Campain 1: Joe Schmo voted to give children access to violent material!
    Campain 2: John Doe voted to protect our children.

    Now who is going to win in election???? Its not about the protecting the children at all, its a game to win the election pure and simple..

    And I still don't know any popular video game that "teaches," you to have sex (outside of some weird homebrew games that I'm sure exist, or sex ed game maybe??). Either way I thought the beating the prostitute thing was only in the original GTA3 and not in any of the later versions? Am I wrong?

  17. Re:Insurance fraud.... on RFID-enabled Vehicles: Pinch My Ride · · Score: 1

    Well what they sell you insurance called Comprehensive. Which covers damage not involving and accident, means that if a tree falls on it, or it burns to the ground, OR it gets stolen they pay for it. Obviously they might be inclinded to give better rates for these cars, but they arn't specifically selling theif insurance.

    I mean if I had a gas guzzling SUV, I'd sure as hell break apart the steering column and leave it on the border then report it stolen.

    Breaking the column of a computer chipped car isn't going to get you anywhere.

    Personally I think this guy was committing fraud then reported to the media when he failed.

    Sure if said parent pays online for your lunch they should be able to choose the food. But if I little Johney want to use my own money (or my parents money they gave me. the school can't tell the difference) to buy junk I should be able. Well atleast as far as what the school offers, though any reasonable school shouldn't offer much junk.

    In just a year or so these kids will be able to go off campus to buy lunch and then you have absolutly no control anyways.

    Possibly this equipment is intended to be mobile (thus the reason for the expense) and moved around sorta like the Patriot system we have now. And the mountain is just where its being designed at. Otherwise I'd hate to see that money go into a program thats currently being scraped.
