    No, but you should.

  3. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Flawed Online Dating Bill Being Pushed in New Jersey · · Score: 1

    Don't waste your time or energy getting offended by a stereotype that isn't even true. My advice is to stop taking things (or yourself) so seriously and just be whatever it is you feel like being (especially if it involves regular sex).

    based on just how much dollar is out there instilling or not instilling fear in them (ie, greenpeace).

    Investing money into instilling fear in the general population... and the example you come up with is Greenpeace? Are you joking?

    Baaah, brother.

  5. Re:Summary of the summary on Judge Rules That I Own Slashdot · · Score: 1

    I'm not really sure where you are going. I was simply pointing out a possible hole in your statement:

    Fortunately for everyone, property rights do not stand or fall on what a ruling is construed to have implied.

    So, where were you headed? Did you think I meant that this website should actually be transferred to the submitter? That's almost as preposterous as the article. :)

    Are you so sure about that?

    Don't we already do that?

    GP is probably in a different time zone.

    Judging by the way W handled Harkin Oil, I have to disagree with the thirsty part.

    If people were capable of that, we wouldn't need computers in the first place.

  12. Re:Who the heck is buying these cards? on Cheap New GeForce 8800 GT Challenges $400 Cards · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: I am a FPS player.

    Come on, own up: who's buying these console-priced cards, and why?

    Simply stated, lesser cards will not drive high resolution displays (1600, 1920, etc) at high, stable frame rates without washing out the visuals by turning features off or down.

    Lots of people (myself included) get a huge amount of entertainment from PC gaming. This level of entertainment is often related to the performance of the machine. If you are crawling along Oblivion (just as an example) at 20 fps, you are not going to experience the game as intended and probably will not enjoy it very much. Online, the lack of performance translates (with almost absolute certainty) to getting your ass handed to you repeatedly. So, we fork over the cash for pricey hardware hoping it will improve our experience by improving the performance (of both the machine and ourselves).

    I have to agree with the AC. You have some great flying pics up on your site. They make me realize I need to get my ass down to Torrey Pines and finally try para-gliding (I'm a wimp; I gotta start simple). Thanks! :D

  15. Re:Save your selves? on White House Wins On Spying, Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    And you still think that terrorirst want to desroy your way of living?

    If they don't (and they won't), our government, in trying to convince us otherwise, surely will.

    Just out of curiosity, have you tried doing all 3 of those at the same time?

    Costanza tried it. Didn't work out so well. Better than the crib notes, though.

  21. Re:Only a waterless piece like this on The Hard Science of Making Videogames · · Score: 1

    When in a FPS, water isn't going to be the most important thing (unless you're making "Abyss:the shooter").

    Or Bioshock, which did an excellent job with water (imho). I highly recommend you check it out if you haven't already.
