  1. Re:Good idea on Want To Make Video Games? · · Score: 1

    You sit there and do one part over and over again. Or you die on purpose. You aren't paid to play the game,

    Where no man as loved before!

    For those looking for a Real Audio Link.

    I wish I could give credit to the originial editor of this sound clip but I could not find it. It is a great clip and if you have never heard it before you gotta try it now.

  3. Re:ummm ... lets look at this from a political are on India's Bargain Supercomputer · · Score: 2

    Pakistan is a military/Islamic dictatorship, one religion; India a democracy, cultural meltpot.

    I hate it when people tote Democracy as the height of an successful country. Russia is a democracy now, or do you people not notice? I would not want to live, their, though I believe it is a hell of alot better than India.

    The overused cliche, Islam bad, Democracy good is just too damned stupid for people to even consider using it. read this small overview of what a great country India is. They are a democracy that is holding together by a thread, with people who gladly see themselves succeed from India proper.

    I just cannot stand it when people post this stuff, and it gets modded based upon a child like simplicity of an issue.

  5. Very Scary on What's Your Earliest Memory? · · Score: 1

    My earliest memory that I can recall is going to be ~2, because I remember wearing diapers. There was this brass post that was used to hold up the curtains in my parents room at the end of the hall. At night a light at the far end of the hall would reflect off the post and it would be like a shiny point, or the reflection off someone's eye. I always thought of it as the reflection of a monster's eye and would scare the me to run away from it. I specifically remember wearing diapers when running down the hall way.

    Uh, no, it is when your life turns into 5 adapted children that you had come from Cuba to live in your 1 bedroom apartment to forefill the dream of living in America, oh and for those 5 tax credits you filed for those poor lost souls! :)

  9. Re:Hmmm. on New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law · · Score: 2

    Well, lets see, I got this from the Gun Control Network

    There were 4,019 crimes involving handguns. While this number has increased in the last two years, the figure is still lower than those recorded in 1992 and 1993.

    So while it is true that crime did not disappear, it certainly was not as bad as it used to be when guns were legal.

    Now for the most important thing for us to know is Murders in 1996, 679. Murders in 2001/02 was 886. So yes there was an increase, but if you look at the total number of crimes committed, in 1996, it was 239,340, in 2001/2002 it was 650,154. So for a drastic increase in the amount of crimes committed there were not a drastic increase in the number of murders! This statistics provided by Research Development Statistics of the UK.

    It seems to me that gun control was done those people a world of good. Of course I am not suprised by your answer. People tend to form an opinion and will attempt to find the facts to fit there preference.

    It is reminiesent of when we had all these doom-sayers preaching that if the US raised the speed limit to 65 that people would be dying left and right, it would be holocaust of people flying all over the road... Funny, how the world somehow did not end.

    Mysql or postgress haven't got the balls to handle the kinds of data sets and transaction times this kind of application requires. You need Big Iron, and Big Commercial Databases

    So because you shell out big bucks you get big performance? Please, that is like saying becuase you spent $40 for a pen that you will write better. Sometimes can be very little correlation between the money you spend and any improvements you get.

    Clever enough to keep hundreds of Chinese Kiosks from selling pirated DVD's in the streets?

  14. Re:What can we do about it? on Should You Trust Website Customer Reviews? · · Score: 2

    Probably the worst reviews that I've found have been for video games.

    I don't think that you should forget the reviews for video games that have not yet been released. I was looking at MOO3 and they had people basically reviewing previous versions of the games and using that as to what their expections should be for this one and then giving it a rating.

  15. Re:I'll tell you how this is going to turn out... on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: 2

    I can just picture, 10-20 of the cheapest players getting together and forming a gang of total naked characters because they refuse to buy anything. They go around steal everything, and then sell in the black market which is how they will make a career out of this game. Sure half the guys will probably get killed but it is not like it will matter because they did not pay anything to get on and they had no possesions to loss so what the hey.

  16. Re:Ok, this is going to get me branded a geek... on The Great Stanford Buffy Population Equilibrium Study · · Score: 1

    I've always wondered how the vampires can even get a stiffy

    To get a uh, stiffy, you need some blood flowing to the right places. So that would explain why they need to kill 150 to 200 people a year. It is hard work keeping it up sometimes! :)

    You are correct, I believe that computers be remanufacturable. However I don't believe that we can do this with today's technology coming from Intel, So I volunteer these open source plans for building a computer with reusable materials.

  19. Be on Notice on HP Wants Manufacturers To Bear PC Disposal Costs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Notice that he said PC manufacturers should bare the burden. So when a PC gets manufactured in Bob's garage, they have to pay the burden. I am sure that it really targeted at companies like Gateway and Dell because they are built on the factory floor in the US, I doubt that companies that get their PC's manufactured in Taiwan will have to pay the fee.

  20. Re:What's next? on Open Source Housing · · Score: 2

    If cannot get into the FSF, the only other close option you have is a closed-source solution like upgrading your Girlfriend(current version) to a Wife 2002/2003. The biggest problems are just forefilling the requirements, involving time, alot of patience, it will constantly dump on you. This is of course after your have invested heavily in "Diamond" hardware with gold ring connectors. Don't even get me started on the EULA too.

    Just remember, that only a closed-source solution can forefill your needs in today's world, just ask the church!
