Yea, on disc 2 or disc 3, (Vicious makes a reappearance) Valentine is following some bounty and ends up busting in on two guys in the sack... not exactly Cartoon Network material... and one of the episodes on disc 3 has a hermaphrodite as one of the main characters.

Increasing the supply of valuable items decreases the demand, yes, but this is hardly a solution. Decrease the value of one item and eBayers will go "farm" another item. You might as well just hand everyone a suit of the best armor in the game to start out with and call it good. I think the EQ system is a bit flawed anyways, but I won't go into that at length. ----

As an EQ player, I just thought I'd reply to your comment. The problem is that these auctions are causing problems in game. Example: Monster X drops nice weapon Y, which sells on Ebay for $500.
Player or Guild Z decides they want the money, so they sit where Monster X shows up and kill him every time he shows up (which in some cases can take weeks). Now the only way to get weapon Y is to buy the weapon from guild/player Z, or try and find a used one for sale, which the player may not be able to afford, or dislike. Some players like the satisfaction of "earning" their equipment and don't want to be forced to buy it on the open market. eBay auctions, while not the sole cause of this type of problem, excaberates it. The other big problem that Sony has with these types of auctions, is the sale of player accounts. For example, Player A sells his character to Player B. Once Player B's payment comes through, Player A calls Verant and says "Hey, I can't get into my account, it's been hacked or something". Since Sony has no record of the eBay transaction and Player A is whose information is in their customer database, they restore Player A's account to him. Player B could be out $1000 or more. Player B has no way of getting his money back (since account sales are against their EULA, they don't support complaints from "non-customers"). I realize they could offer some sort of controlled environment in which they could manage account transfers, but again this leads to the problems above, of people creating accounts/characters to sell for profit, and subtracting from the quasi-limited supply of items in the game, at the expense of players for whom EQ is "just a game" that they want to enjoy and play. ----

I just have to put in my two cents and agree with the idea that it's not the tale, it's the teller. While it's true that a good plot adds to a story, it's the way in which the story is delivered that makes or breaks a writer. I can read a story where I can see every major plot event coming from a mile away yet still be riveted by the book. ----

Bottom line, you may aswell stick to windows if you are going to allow closed source binaries into your kernel.
Yes! Yes! Because lord knows it'll take FOREVER for NVidia forever to come out with the patch, since they hate their customers and love nothing more than to cackle with evil mercenary capitalist glee while the pathetic fools who bought their products go down in flames; whereas the champions of open source stand always at attention, since they have nothing better to do in their lives than write bugfixes.
I mean COME ON. By providing the linux community with drivers (open or closed) NVidia has shown that they value linux users as customers. They have a vested interest in maintaining a good reputation in the linux community, which means keeping drivers updated, stable and secure. Not to mention your whole closing statement, which basically spits in the face of the entire Linux community. God forbid Linux stand on it's own merit as an operating system. If Micro$oft released all its application/OS source code tomorrow, would you switch to windows? This type of pig-headed Open-Uber-Alles attitude is really irritating. Just because Open Source development has some benefits over closed source development does NOT mean that it is a panacea. ----

The point he's trying to make is that the API that is available to windows developers is better documented than the various Linux-related API's (X, kernel API, etc...). Whether or not MS decides to disclose the entirety of their API isn't really relevant to this, so your WINE argument doesn't make any sense in this context.

I have to laugh at stuff like this, and "Gore is being a sore loser" type opinions. The only reason Bush is sitting on his high horse and calling for Gore to "be a man and concede" is because.... drum roll Bush has more votes! It's pretty darn easy to talk about losing graciously and accepting defeat when you're on top. Let's face it, if the votes were the other way around it'd just be the other way 'round, with Bush crying foul.

The problem with today's benchmarks are that they don't simulate real honest-to-goodness usage patterns.
Hehe... that reminds me of a 3d card I saw reviewed in some gaming mag a while back... the reviewers ran several sets of 3d benchmark apps on them, and the card blew every existing card out of the water by quite a margin. Real-world performance (frame rate, image quality tests on various FPS games, some flight sims, etc...) was absolutely pathetic. It was basically a card designed to perform excellently on 3d benchmark tests, at the cost of everything else. Heh!

People have been blowing the "The eye can only see 24fps" bull for years. It's about time someone set them straight, even if it's only to say, "Oh, wait.
It's not 24fps the eye can see. It's 72fps. Yeah, that's it." Of course, down the road, that'll change to, "Wait, it's not 72fps, but 100fps," and then "Wait,
not 100fps, but 200fps," and so on. Seems to me the only reason for this is to make people not feel so bad about not having the latest and greatest video
card out there.
No, grasshopper, there's a difference. At 30-ish FPS, the brain begins to "fill in" the jerky collection of frames it's seeing and creates the illusion of smooth motion. Ever looked at a TV program in frame-by-frame mode? It's really amazing just how much 'filling-in' the brain does, how easy we are fooled! It's actually even more noticeable with cartoons (e.g. the simpsons or something) At some point however, the visual data has to come in at a point where the eye cannot percieve the difference between the generated image and reality... with NO mental filling in. There is a difference, and most of us can percieve it at one level or another.
