  1. "full report" --ha! on Sony Bets Its Future On PlayStation II Console? · · Score: 1

    I really don't get this report. It is well known that (logically) stock splits have little real impact, but keep stock prices at a psychologically attractive level. The perpetual hype over stock splits adds a "momentum" angle but it hardly seems that the added volatility would take down Sony. It isn't like this is petfood.com, or something.

    I'm not sure we should be reading financial reporting from a gaming site. What is next? "Alan Greenspans get fragged, Clan Fed fights back with an interest rate boost!"

  2. Re:Illegal, immoral? on Microsoft To Go Straight to the Supreme Court? · · Score: 1

    In the libertarian-ayn-rand-dog-eat-dog-jungle, there is no morality.

    Offtopic, perhaps, but you oviously don't know much about the philosophy of Objectivism or the philosophical grounds of libertarianism. They are highly moral constructions, which find stealing and lying to be repugnant. Certain elements of the case against MS (e.g. the corruption of Java) could therefore be supported under a libertarian legal system.

  3. Re:All the curved plastic in the world on The Answer to iMac Envy: NEC's Z1 · · Score: 1

    Actually the S3 Savage4 LT 3D is supposed to be the only "real" 3D accelerator for laptops (and therefore for these laptop-like desktop machines). Most other high-end laptops and the Gateway Profile use the ATI Rage Pro LT, which isn't going to cut in when Quake III comes out :)
