ERR... have you actually looked at any statistics latly? The fastest growing segment of new HIV patients is straight young Women. The largest segment are straight people. Gays numerically are a small group and they have a high infection rate, but fewer people with aids. A dozen people a year die from being stuck by lightning. A couple hundred striaght non-black people die each year of aids. I think your a few orders of magnitude off.
If you don't get laid, then you have the same chance of getting aids as beign struck by lightning. So I guess posting on slashdot is a cure?
From several first hand accounts, the media rarly gets any of the details right even in local news stories. They simply sensationalize the few facts they have to make it seem like they know. I'm sure anyone who has had a friend/family member in the news will understands how wrong the stories are. Journalists are Attention whore arts majors.
Like always, 30 fps isn't the key. You might see a smooth movie at 30 or even 25 fps but for interative 3d enviroments 60 is better, and for some really really anal retentive visual processing people, no number is too high.
Everybody always forgets canada. We can do space travel, but we choose to let our big brother do it and just help out. We have all the infrastructure to do anythign we want but we settle for just healthcare. We could have made the A-bomb ourselves, but we thought we wouldn't really have a use for it. The US Jet Airplane research in the 60's was partially derived from our designs and contained many Aero technicians. We're small, at 30 million soem cities have a larger population, but we have all the expertise and the resources to do anythign. Unfortunatly we lack the will to do these large projects.
Don't forget, this particular wheel is a precursor to ICBM's. The US isn't going to share all the technology related to space flight, so China and india have to use a public program to get these technologies themselves.
Your time is worthless. You prove so by your igrnorance. Thus by your own criteria they owe you nothing. But even so. STFU. It's a game. You spent time to get it to work. You weren't smart enough, you gave up. No body owes you anythign except ridicule and scorn. Your an idiot. Your the type of person who watches fox news. Your the ignorant little shit who sues your neighbor when you walk on his sidewalk and slip. You are the very worst of america and deserve nothing. If you object to the price dont' buy. You are playing something/using somethign someone speent time on. Although they don't get much of a direct renumeration they still feed their kids on some portion of what you paid. Taking that small renumeration from them is stupid. Choose to pay for it or don't use it. Thats your choice as a consumer. You are a parasite, no better then the RIAA. There can be only so many of you parasites before you kill the host. The publishers are already suckign the talent dry, your makign it worse. If you object to corporations, Find out who one of Valves Staff is, mail him a check for the game and ask for a copy directly from him.
There is another option: Don't buy the game. No one is forcing you to. A legit protest is to just not buy it. A bullshit protest is to steal it. It's like protesting against Nike sweat shop conditions by Stealing Nike shoes. STFU. If you want to complain. Buy and keep a copy and complain. Else Just don't play.
I hold fairly balanced views. I'm a devote christian but also a scientist at heart (and technically by training). In climatology there is no debate that things are getting warmer, thats a given. It's only why and how will it affect us thats. I am not an alarmist. It won't kill us all, just change the equilibrium which might mean famine, natural distasters, a lowering of the carrying capacity of the ecosystem or an increase. People will still go on, but we need to honestly evaluate it. We can't deny the possibility that it might drastically change our societies.
Sattalite data showing no warming? as opposed to the massive amounts of independantly collected data showing a general warmign trend around the world. I'm not an alarmist. I am aware that this warming might be just a warm cycle in the energy output of the sun. I don't think it'll be a catastraphic event but it will change our lives and deserves soem stuf. We can't just stick our heads in the sand and deny the trends. We might be contributing to them, we need to collect more data. If we are, it might or might not be in our best interest to curve this trend.
DerWulf, do you know how out of touch you sound. I just listed 60% of the worlds pop. and 75% of the worlds technologically advanced nations, and you regress into a diatribe about communism. Your also pulling numbers out your ass. I do't see the failure of our idelogies. Canada is doing fine, our dollar is growing stronger daily against the US, we have a higher quality of life then most americans do and our healthcare isn't that bad, you get a fair and decent service no matter who you are. We dont' have to deal with HMO's. We don't have rampant crime, rampant violence, rampant poverty, and rampant undereducation. Europe is actually doign very well too. Those catastrauphic failures of the social systems aren't apparent. Their more of the things people bitch about over coffee then things they die over, like the US's lack of quality health care for most of it's populace.
The US was once a progressive and industrious nation. Now their the subject of ridicule and scorn aroudn the world. Your public education system leave a large majority of your populace ignorant of even basic science and history. Your Criminal system has imprisoned the largest number of people per capita. Your average income is falling, your dollar is falling, your quality of life is falling, your going into debt to fund wars around the world but can't fund education enough. All this happened while you were beign led by a "right wing" leader with a right wing government. Stop watching fox news, and tune into the BBC to get a true perspective of how the world views you.
Also you might notice China's economic growth is amazing and they will soon be kicking your ass as the world #1 economy given 15 years, if patterns stay as they are. China's nto really a communist state anymore, it's now a facist state. Calling them "liberal" is idiotic. Their right wing conservatives economically now as well as socially. they were always socially right wing in china. I know I was bron there, where did you get your info from? I get mine first hand.
By the same token, exstreme view point does not equal correct. If they had a exstreme viewpoint but had good data to support it, then it'd be scientifically contriversial. But simply holding a exstreme view point doesn't giev you validity and doesn't mean you deserve more attention then others workign int he field. But it often does mean you get more attention.
FYI: Plants use that energy to grow and live. In turn animals use that energy to grow and live as well. We're all children of the sun. We use the suns energy. And it disapates as energy uses to sustain us.
they are listening, and everybody wants a sequel. There are original games too, that freaked out japanese one where you roll into things and get bigger. theres somethign original.
Canada, Western Eurpe, China, and japan. All their media see all yoru media as right wing nuts. Even your vaunted new york times is much more right wing then our centerists or even our right. I live in canada, to us your our big, rich, well meaning, but ignorant, brother who happens to subscribe to some very mean spirited dieologies. We love you but think maybe you could all use abit more awareness of those countries aroudn you.
What is wrong with letting the audience make their own minds up?
The jounralists decide which is one side and which is another. They give two sides, but the otherside has no support and is a fringe group. The audience naturally assumes boths sides have credibility and that the issue must be contentious. Thus the Journalist has just decided that one side has more merit then it does and one side has less merit.
Also, the audience is generally idiots. As the 90% rule shows. 80% of everythign sucks. 80% of everyone is a idiot.
The NYT and Washington Post both lean a good bit to the left in thier reporting. I read the Washington Post, right after reading the Wall Street Journal. Thats what I call "fair and balanced". Between the two of them I think I get a decent summary of whats happening in the world
Read a canadian mcleans magazine after and you'll think the others are right wing in comparison. And it's true. Your commie bastards are our right wing nuts.
The more you realize journalists are wrong. It doesn't matter what the subject is, the vast majority of journalists have no clue what they're talking about. Yes, there are exceptions, but they are few and far between. Once you realize they're wrong about things you know, it leaves everything else they say about subjects you're less familiar with in doubt.
I agree. Journalists get much too much respect. They aren't educated men and women who dedicate their lives to finding the truth. Their often english majors who are just glad to have a job given their credentials. Their rarly science grads, always arts and ussually journalism grads. Their not bad people but their always out of their depth in scientific discussions. If you know anything about a news story, you'll always see that 50% of the "facts" are wrong.
A little while ago a aquantance of mine died in a car accident. He had been stabbed and his Gf was rushing him to the hospital. The papers played him up as a innocent victim of violence, a tech school student who was honest and bright. He actually was a coke dealer who decided that he had a beef with some shit at a house party and started a fight. HE happened to go to school too.
Sorry to break it to you but american media does nto have a "liberal" bias. To the rest fo the world, even your CNN has a "rightwind" bias. Thats how we perceive you. It might be that your so right wing that even blantantly right wing media seems lefty.
Main stream science is rarly even covered, it's always fringe science that gets press.

moores laws truly only regaurds transitors density. CPU speed or clock speed does not follow moores law.
How would it be if one would say America = "duh"?
To the rest fo the world, that statement seems very correct. You re-elected the same leader that brought economic decay and needless war.

meh, you shoulda bought the pro version for many mroe reasons but for being bale to install without a phone line or internet is one of them.
They gave you a modified peice of software for free. So you can do what you please with the gibbled HL2.
MGS3 > Half life > Halo 2. maybe. Remember Half Life will power counter strike source, and Counterstike has more players than any 3 Pc games combined.
The Japanese are notorious workaholics. The Americans and Canadians are close behing, with a few scant hours difference each.

The news is bullshit 90% of the time.
Most scientists are pro climate change. Few are "apocalyptic" cllimate changers. It's is truly just a small fringe that says everythign okay.
