  1. I think it uses the PS1 and not the Sega Saturn version of Castlevania: SOTN. It has been awhile since I had a usable 360 console. I have since bought SOTN on PS3. I have owned copies of SOTN on PS1, 360, and PS3 now. I wish Sony would release an upgrade path for all the classics to the PS4. But you say that the classic games released on the 360 will play on the One? I may look into that again. I have Blade Kitten on the PC. thought I had it on the PS3, but I don't see it in my downloads. I thought I bought it originally on the 360, but without one, I don't know how to check. https://www.playstation.com/en... says that it has been available for the PS3, but click on the link and it opens a store page that says the url does not exist and searching for Blade Kitten on the store proper turns up 0 hits. Very frustrating.

    That doesn't mean that you didn't narrow your worldview to the scope of the article, the only information you complained I didn't use in making my initial assessment. But what do you make of T-Mobile's own website saying that speeds are limited to 2G?

    I may not have all the facts, but I certainly have a clue. Something you don't realize when your world comes to consist of what is contained in a single article.

    And you know this because you read the article... How about actually having an account? I had an account with MetroPCS, an alterego of T-Mobile, and I did run out of the amount they give you. I recently switched because their customer service is lousy. Now maybe T-Mobile branded accounts are different, but let me get back to you on that further on in the post
    And what is reduce you to 4G supposed to mean? There is no speed higher than 4G except for some companies playing with so-called 5G networks.
    Now back to T-Mobile branded accounts: Unless the terms have changed, which they very well may have, all the plans stated in their terms that they lowered the speeds to 2G.

    Most plans lower you to 2G speeds well below that.

  7. Re:Potato growing conditions on Study Suggests Potatoes Can Grow On Mars (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    At this stage, I'm not talking edible potatoes, just something to change the environment, so if it can use water in something like perchlorate brine,that would be fine. As for oxygen, shipping bacteria or something to produce it might be feasible, but by the time we are thinking along those lines, something other than potatoes might be more effective. I "wanted" to use effectatious in that last sentence, but apparently it is a bit of a neologism, and while I have some notion that becomes more appropriate when used as a comparison term, my sense of what it should mean if I use it as opposed to effective isn't clear to me.

    Yes, but is it due to the cold, or the lack of sunshine. Just what are the exact conditions on Mars, anyway? For that matter, were the experimenters highly selective on what kind of potato they chose? Was there genetic engineering involved? PS: I din't read the article or much of the summary, and I doubt they were very forthcoming on details anyways. #NotAllPotatoes #NotAllEnvironmentalConditions

    I must have been going through a rough patch when news of the opening of the "Facebook equivalent" hit Slashdot, but I heard nary a peep about it out of Microsoft. No wonder nobody used it.

    I can, but I find it slows me down to getting to some more entertaining stuff. I even have a saying for my and others failure to do so. Learning when to read. I know how to read, just need more practice on learning when to read sometimes, though just because I have skimmed something when someone else expresses a sentiment that I should have paid closer attention doesn't mean that either one of us would have gotten to more entertaining fare had I paid more attention.
