    Actually, they have to prove that what she was was not only false, but that she knew it was false and said it maliciously, and that they have sustained damaged by her lies (reputation, business, etc.)

  3. Re:BLAH! (What's up with EBay?) on Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Finalized · · Score: 1

    One problem with just keeping the old XBox is it costs you money, compared to selling it if the 360 were a direct replacement.

    unless you have xbox live and have to keep paying for it, i'm not really sure how "just keeping the old xbox" costs you money. it's a one time investment. that's it. do you have to take yours in for repairs all the time or what?

  4. Re:PS2 and PS1 games? on Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Finalized · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Xbox 360 uses a treo of PowerPC processors to run games...

    WOW this is totally incorrect. first of all, the XBOX 360 doesn't use a treo at all, to run ANYTHING. where the hell did you hear that?? second, the latest treo's use either intel's PXA270 chip or an ARM processor...and get this, the fastest of of those two processors is just 312 MHz!!! i'd like to see you play doom3 with that. and THIRD, even if MS decided to use a freakin' TREO in the XBOX 360...which as i said is totally ludicrous...how the hell are you going to fit 3 3.2 GHz PowerPC chips in a goddamn TREO?? have you seen the size of those things??

    Plus, Microsoft is loosing money on each original Xbox.

    Does this mean Microsoft is holding a burgeoning moneybag over each original XBox, suddently unleashing a torrent of crisp bills all over its glistening black & green plastic exterior?

  12. Re:Cool.. but some questions. on Gene Therapy Ages Human Cancer Cells in Lab · · Score: 2, Informative

    (i was just studying this)

    the /. blurb is misinformative, as telomerase is far from a "cancer-specific" enzyme. it is present in many "normal" cells, including sperm and stem cells. also, a cure would not be as simple as just injecting telomerase into a cancerous cell.

  16. Re:Lack of rational thinking on Harvard Pres Says Females Naturally Bad at Math · · Score: 1

    First I want to state that I always beleive in hiring the best person for the job no matter what. I hope that we can agree on that statement. If so then we both agree that afirmative action/quotas are bad.

    not necessarily. i think the whole point of affirmative action movement was to show that quotas and and meritocracy are not mutually exclusive, and that age, social, political, religious and cultural backgrounds should be taken into consideration when determining "the best person for the job no matter what." also, many proponents of affirmative action claim (logically, in my mind) diversity of race, culture, religion, etc. enhances the success of the group, but perhaps not the individual job. (as i'm sure anyone who's played WoW or FF will agree, every character with the same stats is a formula for disaster)

    note: i do not support affirmative action in its current form

    It appears to be shades of Eps 6 (Return of the Jedi), with Luke facing off against Vader. In this case, however, I'm presuming that Anakin wins (looking at one photo, apparently by cutting off both Tyrannus' hands, again much like Eps. 6).

    In the UK if you accuse someone of something in a way that could have harmful sideffects for them then that's slander/libel unless you can back up your accusations. Is this not true in the US?

    yes, it is this way in the US; however, the difference is that here the law is written "did" instead of "could" (afaik, ianal). the burden of proof of potential damage to business or character is upon the supposed victim.
