i know you prolly don't really care at all, but i gotta say, before you completely give up on the xbox, you gotta try ninja gaiden. This is a game that it is certainly worth owning the xbox for.
hmm...well actually, the original definition of a sport (which you can still see as the first entry in webster) was an amusement or diversion -- which video games definately count as.
The problem is that most sports that (up till now) the mainstream media would cover, where those that were heavily athletic. So, in most peoples minds sports = athletics. However, this is just simply not true. (you can still hear people calling something that was fun "good sport")
So in the end we find that most diversions and compititions are actually sports. HOwever, not all of them are athletic. SO video games = sport != athetic.
But any money that come in (no matter how) is good money for they peoples over there in tsunami land. I would say, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth." -- err i guess that doesn't quite fit. HOw about, "Don't insist on seeing the pasture that a gift horse was raised in." How is that?
Also, he was not actually being serious. He was making fun of all the figures that both industries seem to somehow conjure up out of thin air.
Seriously how do they know that they "lost $X of dollars due to piracy?" Wild are the kinds of figures that people will come up with when there is really know way to check them.
actually, i was refering to the fact that most HS students do not pay taxes. Even if they do, it is fairly mininal and will be refunded at the end of the year anyway, scince they will earn less that $15,000 per year (or whatever the cutoff is now). So, most HS students do not pay for their school (or do not pay more than a few dollars) in taxes. Hence, for the HS student, school is baiscally free. This is opposed to college, where quite commonly the students themselves are paying for their education.
Now of course the school is not free, in the sense that teachers salaries and books do not magically appear out of nowhere. However, from the student's prespective, HS is a free education.
As per your accersion, i am in fact BOTH young AND stupid.
i suppose that you are either too old and cynical or too obtuse to get what my original point was:)
Now i understand that maybe you thought you heard this, but for the love of all that is good and holy please, PLEASE think about what you write before you post it. The lyrics that you posted make no sense at all. The actual lyrics follow:)
Every gal in Constantinople Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople So if you've a date in Constantinople She'll be waiting in Istanbul
i don't mean to be too hash. I have mistaken lyrics many a time myself. However, if you write something out and it doesn't make sense, you should really check into it.
right, but how often are you in a place for 12 hours where you have no access to an outlet (or DC source)? I mean, if you have a handheld that lasted for 7 days straight without charging, would it be 14 times better than the gameboy (ignoring the coolness factor of such a battery)?
The fact is, the majority of people will not find themselves travelling for more than 6 hours at a time. As such, a battery life of 6 hours would be more than sufficient. It is all you really need. More battery life is good, but not critical.
And of course if you are regularly taking trans-oceanic flights then you now you need a gameboy anyways. But for the rest of society, six hours ought to sufice.
**Not that i belive everything in the stated review. Or am I going to get one of these stupid things. I just wanted to point out that 6 hours would probably be more that enough for the average human. More battery life would be good, but not critical.
AWSOME! Man i was JUST at the yahoo site and was watching some trailers (i don't have a TV so i don't get exposed to movies unless i expose myself -- but not in the sexual sense).
Anyways, i have a good connection here at work so watching trailers is not usually a prob. IN fact, i had watched like 5-6 trailers without any prob and then i tried to watch charlie and the chocolate factory and i get lagging out. WTF? Says I. so i go on to other trailers and it is working great. Back to CCF and no thang again. Crazy. So then i decide, well i guess i will go pop over to slashdot and see what is gonig on there and lo and behold, but what should to my wondering eyes appear, but movies.yahoo and charles and the confectioners place on the main page of slashdot! Awsome! Says I.
Anyways, i just thought i would share that, since i thought it was somewhat cool.
in my humble opinion, PS1 is the greatest consol that has ever existed yet. I own an xbox, ps2 and gamecube and while they are quite good and have impressive abilities wich outstrip the ps1 however, there is just something special about the ps1 and the line up of games that it had.
Just a quick review, from the top of my head... Twisted metal Castlevania SYmphony of the Night (best game ever, i think) Tony hawk series FF VII metal gear solid tekken 3 and the list goes on and on...
I could go on forever, PS1 truly was the greatest of the consols in the golden age of the consol.
of course they have things called "trains", "buses", "carpools", and "taxis" that people can use to transport themselves without actually having to drive a vehicle:P
perhaps it wouldn't have mattered if he had fully read the article before ranting?
Seriously, his rant was against the EDITORS not the article. The parent's point was that the editors should not imply causality when the article does not. HELLO! McFly!
Perhaps YOU should have understood the parent before posting a snide anti-rant comment?
or a testemant to what can be accomplished when one knows EXACTLY what hardware the user will be using. For PC games the user could be using ANYTHING. There are so many variables to consider and you never know what some stupid gamer is going to try to do to increase the 1337ness of his b0x:P
Of course, on the xbox you only have to hope that the gamer is smart enough to; a) take the disc out of its pagaging b) put it in the disc drive
You don't even have to worry about him remembering to turn on the machine since it will do that automatically when you hit eject.
As for online -- same thing applies. Only one configuration and the thing is so easy to set up that as long as you have highspeed internet and a ethernet cable, you should be fine.
Oh yeah, i LOVED it in Halo when master cheif roled himself up into that cute little ball...er...wait. Nevermind. I just realized that you are an idiot.
It is quite simple, really. The virus enters the host cell. From there it uses the hosts machinery (enzymes, ribozyme, protiens, ect) to carry out the replication of the viruses DNA (or RNA whatever the case may be).
However, the virus is not just bare DNA or RNA (gennerally). It also contains a protien coat on the outside that serves to hold and protect the virus genome. So this too must be made in great quantities to hold all the vast numbers of genomes that have just been copied.
So, in order for a virus to replicate in a cell, it must use the cells system to make BOTH the nucleic acid synthesis AND the protiens for the coat around the virus.
Since this process of protien sythensis uses energy, the virus IS using the cells matabolism to make protiens.
Does anyone have any clue as to what the parent was talking about??
We are not helping Apple -- yet we are part of Jobs' strategy?!?!?! I guess this implies that Jobs goal is to bring down apple. Oh man, just wait till the board hears about this one! Are they going to be pissed or what!
And as far as creating a bulls-eye for M$ or RIAA wtf are you talking about?
1) ipod is SOO rediculously sucessfull that if it hasn't already gotten M$ attention they would have to be completley oblivious to everything going on the world. To belive that more hype will suddenly make M$ sit up and take notice is just idiotic. I assure you they are already aware of all the money they ipod is bringing in and have considered what they want to do about it already.
2) The ipod is prety much created and designed whith the RIAA taken into account, so i would suspect that they have little to worry about from that quarter.
yeah, so besides that fact that at no time durring the parents irratic ramblings did he even come close to making anthing that could be construde as a coherent point. Those few things that *might* be interpreted as arguemnts seem kinda moronic.
(i can't tell, and i being to mean here?)
Seriously -- oh and one more thing, how would overexposure of the ipod hurt AMERICA?!
Of course, as long as you PERSONALLY can't manage to calculate the entire game from the start (i will help you out here -- you can't) then chess is everybit as unknown as GO (which is a great game too).
I don't understand how the fact that computers can solve chess games is supposed to make the game no fun anymore? The point seems to be that as long as you haven't solved it, then it should be fun for you.
Just becuase a computer could kick you ass at crosswords puzzles (or a multitude of other games) does not mean that they are no fun.
Be that at it may a Go program for the DS would still be appealing for at least 2 reasons;
1) For begginners an easy go program can still be challanging and they can still learn from it
2) More importantly, GO on the DS would be quite a bit more portable than most "travel" and folding GO products. The inclusion of a touch screen would make it so that it would be easy for two people to play head to head on the same board DS while the fact that there is wireless capability makes two people on two DS easy to accomplish.
WHile i know it would most likely NEVER happen given how few DS's there will be compared to the general population and how few people actually play GO, but it would be a blast to play a 9X9 with some guy on the bus on the way to work!
Anyways, of course these reasons are valid for other board games too like Chess, othello, Risk, ect. ect. as well as card games. It would be awsome to see some of these make it onto the DS. I am sure they will though, becuase the cobination of the touch screen with the wireless makes the DS an almost natural ground for these types of games.
sooo...you pay someone to work 8 hours a day and they work 5 (with some foosball on the side) eh?
Now weren't you touting RESPONSIBILITY just a bit ago? If your boss is paying someone to work 8 hours, they should be responsible and work 8 hours a day -- it is not like it is complicated.
And if your boss is paying you to manage people and make sure they work, and then you let them go with 5 hours, i would say that is fairly irresponsible.
Perhaps you should get the plank outta your eye before you point out the specks in others.:)
of course, he didn't say anything that required citation, as it is not really nessesary to cite something that is taken to be common knowledge -- which his claims were. But just so we are all in agreement, let us look at his arguemnt...
1) Climate fluxuates. 2) It fluxuates even without human intervention 3) We do not fully understand these fluxxions
Conclusion: The warming trend we see in the earth's climate may not be due (in part or in full) to increasing CO2 levels. And even if we were to reduce CO2 levels we might still see an increase in warming.
ie: our inability to understand the trends in climate change may mean that we do not understand why the climate in increasing in temp right now.
Yeah?
Ok, so now lets look at his claims and see wich ones need citing...
1) So we will start off slow with this one... What was the temp where you live this morning at 3am? How about at 3pm. Did it change? (hint: the answer is probably "yes"). If it did we see that the climate can flux in temp.
Moving along to slightly longer times... What was the temp of your home town January 1st. How about July 1st. Were they different? (again, the answer is prolly, "yes"). The temp changes throughout the year too!
Ok, a bit longer then... Do you suppose that it was cooler durring the last ice age than it is now? (hint: the same answer as for the above questions). If you answer "yes" (you should have) then you will see that the temp can change over thousands of years.
So, i would say that through common sense and knowledge, one should be able to arrive at the conclusion (and just know it) that the earth's climate has changed with time. so we will just go ahead and mark down this one as "common knowledge" ok? Cool.
2) Now number 2 might seem a bit less like common knowledge, but i assure you it still is.
Think about how long humans have been around. Lets say around 10 million years (overkill)i think a reasonably educated person should at least know this sort of ballpark figure -- at least the target audeince of his post. Now how old is the earth. Lets say 10 billion years.
Now we use "logic." Do we assume that the temp of the earth just started to wildy flux in the last 1% of its life? Of course not. That would be rediculous. For one, the earth radiates heat away from its surface into space, so that it would seem to cool. But for another, it vents heat from its core so that the surface would seem to warm. Overall, the temp of the earth would have to be in flux throughout its history. This is assuming the uniformatarianism hypothesis is correct, which again is logical.
Thus we see that there is cause to belive that the earth has fluxed in temp on its surface one way or the other through most of its life. Thus, the surface temp of the earth has fluxed whilst humans were not around. And this was arrived at by the simple process of thinking. No need to cite something as obvious as this.
3) This one is so mind bendingly simple that i will not even present an argument. Show me one person that thinks the fully the climate fluxes of the earth and i will show you an arogant bastard who has clearly not thought much on this topic.
Now onto the conclusion that was offered. It was simply this;
Since we do not fully understand the climate fluxations of the earch without humans and we do not understand them WITH humans around, we cannot be sure of anything regarding the fluxxes of the earths temp. Thus, we cannot totally differentiate the efffects of CO2 from the natural fluxxes. Thus, we cannot make any definative statemtns. Futhermore, the whole mess is so complicated that there may be other factors that we haven't thought of. And lastly, even if we were to stabalize the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, it may be that the temp would still change (very likely) and perhaps even rise.
Of course this is not to say that CO2 CAN"T contribute to the rise in temp. THere are ve
this is exactly what is wrong with the world. People are more concerned with the NAME of the person saying something that with WHAT is being said and if it makes sense or not.

I swear, (no sarcasm at all -- i am deadly serious). It is this mentality and the people that hold it that are responsible for many of the worlds problems.
