    They've actually become lawsuits?

    That is a complicated reason.

    ... and said it had no alternative but to pursue an expensive legal action that it admitted it could ill afford.

    Will this be the first game in a series of many to come that will be pulled off the market to be changed due to questionable content?
    Yes, there's a slew of games with hidden content just waiting to be revealed by the right mod. Of course not, you moron.

    Submitter? Is that you?

    "If I was CmdnrTaco"...

    It is you! You can't even write four words without making two mistakes. Seriously, though.

    ...I would be long past giving two shits about editing or even dupes.

    You think "bitching" pushed him over the edge? You think he used to care but meanies like me scared him off? Taco has never given two shits about editing or dupes and you know it. "Editor", my ass.

    If you don't like it, leave.

    I like it just fine and people meta-bitching makes it all the more enjoyable.

    Please, let's not bring pseudo-religious texts into this. Qigong?

    The topic's about scientific experiments producing results that aren't immediatly intuitive.

    A very good point, I hadn't even thought of that.

    I've sent Ennis an email asking about her study, I'll post here if I get a reply.

  9. Homeopathy. on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 2, Insightful
    "And it remains true that no homeopathic remedy has ever been shown to work in a large randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial.

    But the Belfast study (Inflammation Research, vol 53, p 181) suggests that something is going on."

    Excellent. If tests suggests something's going on, let's test it further.

    "We are," Ennis says in her paper, "unable to explain our findings and are reporting them to encourage others to investigate this phenomenon."

    I hope she and others keep testing it, since this is the first time I've ever heard of homeopathy even being remotely true. I won't hold my breath though.

  10. Who? on Ask mc chris · · Score: 1

    He's probably most well known as the high pitched rapper on the track 'Fett's Vette' that you probably have an MP3 of somewhere. No, really. Who?

    Rasterman, of Enlightenment fame, has responded to Seth Nickell and Havoc Pennington's blog entries, which were in reference to this previous article about Next gen X rendering. The previous post was about Nickell's post, not the other way around.

    It's not enough that people don't read the articles? Now Slashdot is actively discouraging them from reading the summaries?

  16. Rover cheaper in Denmark? on Nintendo Fined $143m for Price-Fixing · · Score: 1

    Wow, I just had to throw in my two cents here, because you are grossly misinformed.

    A quick look at a randomly selected Rover dealer in Denmark ( http://www.rover.dk/newsite/r75/prisliste_r75_seda n.htm ) says 325,000 DKR for a basic model 75 which is approximately 43,740 Euros or 27,636 British Pounds.

    For comparison see http://www.mg-rover.com/content/Rover/en_GB/Rover2 /~jsp/model_75_pricelist.jsp where prices range from 17,000 to 25,000 British Pounds for a top of the line model.

    I don't know where you get your prices, but I'd appreciate it if you could recommend me a dealer.
