hehe.. actually, it was sarcasm. Hovering your hands over the keyboard and moving them as little as possible is exactly how you get CTS. This is why kids don't get taught the "home row" method of typing anymore. Correct posture is to rest your wrist in front of the keyboard and reach for the keys. This is called, among over things, the "reach method". The purpose is to encourage as much movement as possible. Exercise, it's not just for your legs.
patriot? What the fuck dude? For one, I'm Australian. For two, parts of MIR had fallen out of the sky by the time the ISS started construction in 1998. Here's another idea, how about you just fuck right off? Nit picking tool.
Sigh. The Russians were planning MIR-2.. it was canceled, what with the fall of the Soviet Union and all. Bush (Sr)'s justification for the "Agreement between the United States of America and the Russian Federation Concerning Cooperation in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes" was well documented at the time. With his departure and the arrival of Gore and Clinton, the reasoning was spelled out again.
I'm repeating the fact that water is wet, you're saying I'm "making attacks on people's ignorance".
Ahh. another idealist who is completely unaware why the ISS project was approved. MIR had fell out the sky and the Russians were about to let go a whole bunch of their space engineers. What do you think those engineers would go on to do if something else was not found to occupy their time? The US feared it would be making weapons.. most likely for countries like Iran. So the Space Station Freedom plans were dusted off and modified for "international cooperation" and, there ya go, the Russian space program is re-invigorated. No need for a nasty war. Now compare the cost of the ISS to that and you get some idea why it is considered a bargin.
Opera have always been suffering under the delusion that customers would be lining up to buy their desktop product if only Microsoft wasn't "strangling the market". This is such bullshit. Since day 1 everyone has been saying that Opera are on crack. Web browsers are expected to be free. Sure, maybe some people would like to pay for a web browser.. I mean, people pay for bottled water too.
Every time Opera talks to the press I get the feeling that they would like nothing better than to force Microsoft and Mozilla to charge $99 so they can go back to doing the same.
It's not that much of a stretch of the imagination to think that someone would demo Mirror's Edge and decide that it was so horrid that they'd rather buy some other game. Are you trying to suggest that gamers should be forced to cough up dough just to see how bad it is?
1. You have to authenticate yourself to the site in an annoying and expensive way. 2. It's trivial to get someone else's data but the site logs all accesses. 3. They periodically check who has been a bad boy and send the police out to talk to them.
Of course, there's the slight problem that no matter how good the identification/authorization process is, someone will hack it, and that means that innocent people will get done for it.
Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down... Leon: What one? Holden: What? Leon: What desert? Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical. Leon: But, how come I'd be there? Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you... Leon: Tortoise? What's that? Holden: [irritated by Leon's interruptions] You know what a turtle is? Leon: Of course! Holden: Same thing. Leon: I've never seen a turtle... But I understand what you mean. Holden: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon. Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you? Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Leon: [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping? Holden: I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Leon? [Leon has become visibly shaken] Holden: They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?
Says who? I don't know about the warning labels on cigarettes in your country, but here, in Australia, we have warnings that link smoking to gangrene and blindness. I'd say almost 80% of everyone I know smokes or quit smoking in the last 10 years. None of them have ever had anything remotely exotic as gangrene and none of them have gone blind. It's just fucking absurd to demand warnings for things that are so unlikely. Sure, maybe it's possible but so is a whole lot of other statistically irrelevant bullshit. People die from water overdoses. It's just scare tactics by a bunch of busybodies.
This is not a flying car like the moller which envisioned VTOL from your driveway.
And that's probably a good thing. Why is it that everyone understands that you have to have an Atari 2600 before you can have a PS3 but, when it comes to the "flying car", they expect the future today.
reading through forum posts from people complaining about the insane number of bugs in the game.
Ya know, on the Internet, we have this think call a "hyperlink" that you can use to show someone what you're talking about.
Really, I have no problems with this game. I can't help it. Am I just lucky? Do I just happen to play the game the same way the play testers did?
are turning the console world to crap.
That might be relevant.. I'm playing on a PC.

Name the bugs then. I've played hundreds of hours of this game and experienced no crashes. That's more than I can say for any other game I've played lately (except maybe Eve Online, that's probably the most rock solid "game" I've ever played). There's absolutely nothing wrong with using the same engine.. I think more companies should do it. The Oblivion engine is so good that I hope they make a dozen more games using it.
Did you watch the video? It really is funny, honest.
Do you ever wonder why your opinion is different to everyone else's? I mean, sure, some people think Fallout 3 sucked, but shit, even Yahtzee thinks it is awesome, and he's paid not to like anything. That's a piss funny video BTW. Feel free to go watch it and come back saying it wasn't funny.
Not $100 each, $300 for the pair.. So that was AU$600+ for me..
Aussie dollar hasn't been below 62c for over 10 years dude, but yes, you're right, they did fuck themselves but this was in response to the threat. They thought doing nothing would have killed them faster, I disagree.
Pah.. you're an academic when you're part of the establishment.. when you've climbed up the ivory tower. I love academia.. I think it's the most noble pursuit if you can get it, but I also wouldn't want a law professor defending me in court. Lessig is a great academic, but he got laughed out of supreme court. There's a difference between book smarts and street smarts.

Sigh. RSI != CTS. Although there may be a link.

Yes, because moving less is the solution.
You're a perfect example of a Slashtard.

You mean the premier Netscape crap that no-one bought?
There was never a time when you couldn't get a web browser for free.
Mosaic set the standard.

The company measures my performance by what I get done.
Maybe you should watch it again.
The whole point is that it is not a question.

Ha, you actually bothered to free that retard?
Sucker.
I don't have have trouble getting being to listen to me. What makes you think I do?
Slashdot is a breeding ground for "too stupid to stay quiet about how stupid you are" fuckwits. Don't mistake the noisy morons for the majority.

Ahh.. The words "cheap shot" mean nothing to Slashtards.
That you for replacing my speculation of irrational fears with more speculation of greater irrational fears. You've done us all a great service.
