  1. Re:Ah, Final Fantasy 12... on Jump Festa Shows Off Final Fantasy XII, Dragon Quest · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Did You Think We Couldn't Make Our Hero Any More Effeminate? Hah, You're Wrong, Loser!"

    No kidding!

    Game looks good, but is there some kind of contest on "how girly can our hero be?" going on or something?
    Is the trans-gender demographic the next big thing in videogames?

    Hey, japan, we liked Snake better than Raven! Snake is a gruff guy, not a girly-man whith a needy girlfriend who won't shut up. Get a clue!

    Is there any news on that? What Disney Movies are there left? Can you play with The King? Etc.

    Oh, and is the camera still an evil spawn of hell? That camera was the toughest enemy of the whole game! Killed more times than anything else.

    It's FELLONS. These are not jaywalkers, they are murderers, rapists, duggies (dealers, trafficers, etc), and more.

    That's suspected felons.
    So what if they later drop the felony charge and only prosecute the misdemeanor, you're allready in the database, tough luck.

    Wanna bet that most people arrest for drug possesion will be charged with "possesion with the intent to sell" only to have the charges against them reduced after the database entry has been done?

    They convict people making crystal meth on charges of terrorism (making meth involves chemicals that could be used to make other nasties), you can count on them to overextend the long arm of the law using that technicality too.

  8. Re:Some indian movies can be really good... on Bollywood Embraces Kazaa Movie Downloads · · Score: 1

    A number of people around here seem to think that all indian movies have the same plot.

    The thing is that india produces over one thousand movies a year, and less than 5 of those aren't "Boy meets girl, boy and girl dance a lot, boy fights and dance for the girl, and they lived and danced happily ever dancing after".

    Eh, if indians like it, they can keep watching 'em. Don't expect me to watch them though.

  14. Re:Counterpoint: the GBA battery. on Washington Post Covers iPod Battery Ruckus · · Score: 1

    I will need to go through four batteries in the next 6 months, according to your calculations.

    If every iPod needs a battery replacement every 18 months, every gameboy SP needs a battery replacement every 3 months.

  15. Re:No shit on Washington Post Covers iPod Battery Ruckus · · Score: 1

    Simply planning to have people trash their $300+ investment every 18 months is certainly not an example of good planning or good engineering.

    No, its a great example of your FUD.

    First of all, 18 months is anecdotal evidence, plenty of people have had workking iPods longer than that.

    Then, "trash their $300+ investment" is a flat-out lie. You don't trash it, you get a replacement battery for 99 dollars with service, or 50 for do-it-yourself.

    If the product had been well designed you'd simply be able to pop in a new cellphone style battery when the old one stopped working.

    If cars were well designed, you would simply add more oil in when the old one is depleted. But those greedy car manufacturers have you come back for an oil change, sure, you can buy oil from unoficial online retailers, but supposedly its extreamly difficult to change the oil.

  16. Re:Apple doesn't make batteries on Washington Post Covers iPod Battery Ruckus · · Score: 1

    I expect that same great company producing this great product to take care to make sure the charger doesn't overcharge the battery.

    They did.

    When the battery is full, the iPod displays a "Battery Full" image and doesn't charge it any more. And you can verify the truthfullness of that assertion by placing your hand on the iPod and feel that it is cold to the touch, a clear sign of inactivity, since it is warm when in use or recharging.

  17. Re:Counterpoint: the GBA battery. on Washington Post Covers iPod Battery Ruckus · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, you charge the gameboy battery 99 times, and then pay Nintendo 20 dollars for a new battery.

    99 times, that's what, 3 months?

    Hmmmm...99 bucks to apple after 18 moths, or (20 * 6 = 120) 120 bucks to Nintendo after 18 months.

    So your point was that Apple's design was greedier than Nintendo? Funny, because it seems 20 bucks cheaper to me.

  18. Re:Apple replaces more than just the battery... on Washington Post Covers iPod Battery Ruckus · · Score: 2, Informative
    NOTE: iPod equipment that is sent in for battery service or service requiring other repairs will be replaced with functionally equivalent new, used, or refurbished iPod equipment. You will not receive the same iPod that was sent in for service.

    How does that work for engraved backs?

    They pop out the back, then slap it on the iPod they're sending you instead.

    The AC marijuana suggestion might actually be a good one, if that doesn't go against your world view.

    Depends, is prison good or bad for hearing?

    I know the law makers seem to think that its good for your health, because they keep Cannabis illegal to protect people from its unhealthy side effects (news flash: inhaling smoke is not good for your lungs, film at 11), and then throw them in jail. So the logic must be that jail is healthy...
