  1. Re:It's disappointing... on Most Stars Are Single · · Score: 1

    Facts tend to be right, since they are based on observations. Theory can be right or wrong since they try to explain the facts. The 'Law' of gravity means if I drop something it falls. The Theory of Gravity explains why it falls. Scientists NEVER say Theory's are Fact but theorys are made of facts, thats a common mistake today. Only idiot scientist would every state they are correct and never wrong.

  2. Re:OK, but what about drivers? on ATI Talks Revolution Graphics · · Score: 1

    Maybe but my friends company designs games with a Compiler that will create 4 differenet executables, GC, XBox, PS2 and PC. Also most modern games on the consoles don't really push the specs all that much, mainly because of deadlines and they don't see the need too.

  3. Re:Future of our civilization? on Return to the Moon · · Score: 1

    Ok, so we're already screwing up the ecological system of one planet, so all the more reason to start mining the moon too!

    Ecological system? On the moon? Dude, give me some of what you're smoking, I need it to get the moon.

    I do beleive the one planet he is taking about is the Earth, since its the only one we have screwed up so far.

    I do beleive some people are trying to build tricorders or something simular, and I read about this years ago. So I have no idea if it worked or not. Just remember tranparent aluminum was sci-fi up until recently.

    This is Ethics 101 stuff and these lawyers failed.

  8. Re:Anti Competitive on Fate of High-Def DVD up to Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Sony could have a problem with Blu-Ray and its not Microsoft, but the other Blu-Ray manufacters. If Sony sells the PS3 less then the other Blu-Ray players, the other makers will look on that Sony is dumping their product to win the console market which may kill the Blu-Ray player market, since they will be only one left in the Blu-Ray market. The cheapest Blu-Ray player prices, I have seen so far are running around $1000 or so.

  9. Re:No on D&D Online Stress Beta Begins · · Score: 1

    Sony didn't break SWG, since it was never fixed to begin with, I played the game for over a year.

    I have played quite a few MMORPGs over the years, and I have yet to see a stress test help get rid of bugs at launch.

  11. Re:Bird's Eye view is amazing - just needs few twe on Windows Live goes Local · · Score: 1

    I agree with most of your comments but Google and Microsoft both use NAVTEQ, and both put my house about 1/2 block east of were I really live. The only thing different is Microsoft data from NAVTEQ is a year older then Googles.

    The thing I like about is Microsoft doesn't put there name all over the maps like Google does. Also Microsoft maybe in B/W but they have better coverage in my Area. Other my city, Google has very bad coverage.

  14. Re:Be first or... on Sony May Delay PS3 Until 2007 · · Score: 1

    The difference there was that netscape cost $30, IE was free. And your computer already had IE. AND Microsoft added code to make Netscape not work right.

    Netscape was $30 but you could get it for free from many ISPs, and it was available for download for free also. It was more Shareware. Netscape user from v1 to v3, v4 made IE4 look very stable...

  15. Re:Hyperspace is supported! on MSN Virtual Earth Revealed · · Score: 1

    I guess they want everyone to move to Atlanta, it did that the first time for me also, but every time after that it switched views just fine. Try find by IP address, it was only a few hundred miles off. The problem really isn't MSN fault, when I used to one of those IP address finders it used to tell me, I was in China. They are getting better, correct country and state this time.

  16. Re:Using a console the whole day? on Distributed Computing on Next Gen Consoles · · Score: 1

    Playstation 1, had massive overheating problems, mine you have to flip over just to get a disk to boot. The problem goes all the way back to the Intellivision which would lock up after a time, because of heat build up.

    "taking material from multiple organisms and using them to create new, functional genes."

    I see no possible way how this could lead to trouble. Michael Chrichton will get three or four books outta this one!

    I thought he already got a few books out this, anyone remember Jurassic Park? The added DNA from frogs(?) to complete the DNA for the dinos. Thats why the Dinos could start reproducing.

  20. Re:nintendo may be the only game maker who gets it on The Nintendo Conference In-Depth · · Score: 1

    The real question is how will the smaller houses push the hardware on this systems? If you want a killer game, it may take more than 100+ programmers, artists and the rest to put it together. If the game doesn't push the system will the Console makers even want the game? I have some friends in the industry and thats what worries them more than anything.
