Thats the same Suzanne Shell that has been fined for practicing law without a license. She basically has a couple of books (sold on amazon too) that give advices to parents when facing child abuse courts. Allegedly to protect people who aren't abuser, but she still dispense her immense judicial knowledge without any warning that she is not a lawyer.
Hopefully she doesn't form some sort of alliance that Crook guy and bring down the net!
Hoe can that be possible? Those card are to be used on a particular suscribed account, player do not open a new account for every card.
That said, they probably have a lot of non-active account that still count as "subscriptions". I have 2, and although I don't pay for them any longuer, I know they are waiting for me...And I know of at least 3 or 4 people doing the same thing. Do we all count as suscribers?
Its not because you don't hear about a game in the mainstream game review site that they aren't hits. Its just a question of exposure. Take Hexic or Crystal Cave on XBox Live. They fare pretty well for games with 0$ in marketing budget.
Some games have a niche market and are quite recognized among players. Cave story, Tumiki Fighter or even some *band variant comes to mind.
In the end its only a question of marketing. Just like Open Source, suffers from a lack of "Open Source Marketing", Indie suffer from a lack of "Indie Marketing". But things are picking up IMHO.
Maybe because half of the people on my space don't really post _their_ personnal information. Some of them might have a reason to hide their IP on a site full of pre-teen and teen...
Because you think that if you install Linux on Joe Somebody's machine, he will not enter the root password when asked for it?
OSes are as secure as the person using it. To think anything else is ridiculous. And that applies to every OSes.
And I'll get modded down for what I am about to say, but people blame MS for everything, saying they can't do things right, that it should be open source, security through transparency and whatever. But right now, no open source distribution out there is secure if used by a technologicaly challenge user. And some of those open source project have been worked on for years... What is MS to do? Open Windows sources and wait 20 years and go trough 20 forking projects for someone to finally get it right? All the while, only knowledgeable people will have a secure OS?
Unfortunatly, sex website operator are unscrupulous.
We'd end up having microsoft.xxx, slashdot.xxx, digg.xxx. It would be ridiculous..xxx domain are only a good idea if existing registered domain holder can get the.xxx version locked to them for free and for life.
Of course one could easily block.xxx domain. But how long will it be before 60 minutes and friend 'expose' the scandal of known company name being used as sex portal, and pointing everyone to it like they are doing for MySpace? Or that some christians fundies boycott Walt Disney over disney.xxx?
Not sure why the parent is modded as funny, because its more insightful than funny. Did that company sued the ISP or the maintainer of the sites? Nope. They went were the money is.
Thats like charging someone with a crime because he knows where the neighborhood crackhouse is.
Thats because you didn't try Doom RPG. He didn't do the game per say, but he is the driving force behind it. And its an amazing cell phone game (one of the best I've played, and only short to DoomRL as far as turn based doom RPG goes.)
Buy a 360! I'm kidding! I'm addicted to Oblivion on my PC. I have a SLI setup (with 2 NX6600GT), so its running pretty good (although not as good as I would like). I rented it on the 360 for kicks and beside not crashing when using a magic sword, and playing on a 55" TV, I prefer the PC version.
But the article is pretty cool and they are right. I've run on 1 card for a while (because of a busted fan) and Oblivion is the first to give me trouble (Oblivion was what convinced me to go out and buy a new fan). 6600GT aren't top of the line and run at 125$ these days, but every latest games runs on a it.
Yeah i'm not sure where that comes from. From my (limited) poll of friend with Mac, they tend to be artists or the artistic type, not technological inclined people.
If course they say "average PC buyer". I guess if you add the sum of all PC buyer tech knowledge and make an average... But thats like saying that 90% of all Mac user who drive have a Volkswagen. It seems true (it really does) but its not.
Even better. A tit is hanging out in a normaly inacessible texture file. If anyone here ever saw a naked body texture file, they know it actually look like Silence of the Lambs' flesh dress. Nothing even sexual about it.
Yeah. Some programming language let you reference a procedure/function rather than call it. So the following pseudo code will be valid "if (somefunction is null) {do something}" but will not do the same as "if (somefunction() is null) {do something}". The first will check if "somefunction" as been declared, the second will check the output of "somefunction".
I got my set preordered 2 weeks ago. Even if its 100$ more for canadian customers.I wish I got a boy instead of 2 daughters now:) (Not really. Cause i'd have to share me new lego!)
Yes. The old and the elderly, the easily convincable, the influencable people. They do not prey on the slashdot tech crowd (although sometime ones wonder), but on people who don't know better. They've been told that one can have good deals online, that you can find anything on there.
And you have to remember that there is not only porn and penis enlargement offer sent, but low mortgage loan offer, the chance to find a lost friend, travels or even online casinos deals. Poker is a big thing right now, and interests rates very low, its tempting for a lot of people.
Being talked about as the joke of the day is not that good. They would have gotten has much publicity by naming it the Nintendo Shitpile. Would it be good? Nope.

See? I write that JW _ARE NOT_ child abusers, and a JW try to make me understand that they aren't child abusers.
This is the exact reason why I left the JW. Because most of them aren't listening, they are preparing their next brainless argument based on what they have been told to answer to objections.
And BTW, some people are ready to give their lives for their religions by bombing themselves. It doesn't make it right.

Mod me down all you like, I won't even post anonymously. But for having being raised as a JW, I can see why anyone would say that. They arbor child abusers in their rank and prefer to discipline them by themselves rather than going to the authority. But by those standards, catholics are a bunch of choir boys too. (we know it aint true, but some people like to generalize)
I stepped out of there 10 years ago, and although they are wrong on many things about raising childs (I left college to knock on doors 100 hours per months cause it was what a JW did. The end of the world was coming anyway, who need an education?) they aren't serial child abusers, and most childs are more than happy to take a walk on saturday mornings. What they do with their child is not worse than many parents do by pushing their childs in beauty pageant.
And yes the parent poster is partially right. I've seen bloodless operation performed on open heart patient 10 years ago. Although I don't think we need to thank them for being pionner in the field. A lot of JW died because of that silly beliefs. Blood is sacred, apparently more than life itself.
I didn't say they should do that the whole time - but there are plenty of other things kids can do without resorting to electronic screens. It is bad for their development. There are studies that have shown this.
And studies that have shown the exact opposite. Studies are studies, made by politically interested parties or people in need of grant money. Real life is something else. You pick whats working for you and do it. But you have no rights to impose your view about raising children on anyone.
Some studies show a high rate of kidnapping for organs trafiquing in tropical countries, and other show that we will all die from avian flu. It doesn't stop me from bringing my daughters on vacation or feeding them chicken.
Something must be wrong if you can't get them to stop fighting.
I didn't say I couldn't stop them fighting. I have 2 daughters, one is 3 months old. I said that this is what kids do in long trips. I remember doing it with my brother, and it wasn't because my parents didn't raise us correctly. It was because we were tired of looking at the trees pass or we were getting nauseous from reading books in the car.If you had taken any long ride with a child, you would know that most children get sick if they don't look at the horizon line while a car is running. And it gets old real quick.
Shows what you know. You might babysit childrens, but I _raise_ 2 childs 24/7, both under 26 months old (yes I work at home).
Say what you want about not using the tv to keep them occupied, sometime its a boon. And last time I checked, my oldest daughter was speaking both french and english plus some spanish she picked up on Dora The Explorer. Thats at 26 months old. I'm not saying she is a genius, I'm saying that she seems to learn even by watching TV.
For your information, babysitter dude, no child will read a book for 4 hours unless they are autistic or strapped to a chair with the book in front of them, a-la Clockwork Orange.
Make me even doubt what you say when you states that the 2 years old you babysit aren't allowed to play video games. Even if they were allowed, at that age they do not play. They play hide-the-controller. But you should know that.
And yes english is my second language, but unlike you, I am tolerant of other and I do not lack basic reading skills.
("In fact, you are saying you should babysit your children, no matter how much you deny it." Thats good english? Making arguments out of thin air not even related to anything, and that "you should babysit your children"? WTF? Shouldn't it be "should have someone babysit for you" or "you shouldn't babysit" or something. I guess you showed me... Thanks Mr Book Reader!)
Some people have children. And child do not read book, and tend to fight the person beside them instead of having a conversation.
I'm not saying that we should have tv babysit our childs, but a dvd player is damn usefull when you take 4 hours flight startinf at 3 am with a 2 years old.
