I believe I saw a post here on/. that said that if 95% of the world's energy was produced by windmills, we would be extracting more energy from the atmosphere then is being added by global warming.
Of course at that point every man, woman, child and pet on the Earth is living in a windmill, but, hey, there ya go.
We on this planet really know so little about genetic crap...
Well, no, **YOU** really know so little.
Sadly, the case with GM is that it will be prevented by the hysterical uninformed and fearful ignorant masses. Just the same as with energy. We could have a world of efficient and modern nuclear power, but, no, everyone, even the supposed smart geek set, has to sit in their caves and wail at the moon and not open their eyes.
You all only listen to the whispers of agenda-driven boogeymen, and ignore the hard data of the truly informed. This is the shitpile world you deserve. I just wish I didn't have to deal with it as well.
I now return you to your dark, demon haunted world.
Alice and Bill aren't splitting up: they will continue on together at AliceandBill.com, where they write about technology news and will be happy to accept your kind PayPal donation."
They are also looking for open-minded bi-curious men and women, or swinging couples, for experimentation and BDSM play. Or maybe I dreamt that. Ignore me.
Movie theaters would be great if it weren't for all the other people, the cell phones, the crying babies, the expensive food, the sticky floors, the uncomfortable seats and the boring crap projected up on the screen.
I've enjoyed your work, but I'll skip the fanboy fellatio, if that's OK. Not my style.
Here's mine:
The world is a vast shitpile populated by an even vaster array of troglodytes, losers, meatheads, jackasses, ignoramuses and low wattage fumblementalists of every political and theological stripe.
Why should I care about the future? Give me one reason to give a damn about what happens anymore.
i'd be interested to see how a god i don't believe in would strike me down. in fact, i think it would be worth the death that would come from it.
Steeerike one! That was called "joking around." It's something "human beings" do when they possess a "sense of humor." Maybe you should get out more.
there's nothing to be purist about? at all? it makes me sad that you think that - enjoy your corrupted corporate existence then.
Absolutely 110% LOL! We got a live one here, folks. Wriggle on the hook, fanboy, wriggle! Squirm for me! Squeal like a piggy. You know you love it.
So because I think it's silly to be purist about a line of game products from a major gaming corporation, *I'm* the one who leads a "corrupted corporate existence"? Wow! That might be the most nonsensical thing I've read on the Internet in, geez, *hours*!
are you trying to say that final fantasy $NUMBER is closer to actual history?
Woosh! A swing and a miss! The count is 0 and 2.
my point is that the story is being bastardized. not history. your point that braveheart is a far cry from the actual history of william wallace is completely unrelated to my point about breaveheart 2.
Actually it was a dead spot on parallel analogy. Reread it a few hundred times and you may get it. Maybe.
you say that there's no point in whining about something you disagree with?
Steeeeeeerike Three! The batter is outtahere!
if so, then why are you whining about my post? you obviously don't like it so why did you whine about it?
I didn't whine, I delivered a righteous smackdown upon the unworthy pate of a a whiny sissy fanboy.:-) Now, bark like dog for me, bitch, or I'll take away your rare Tifa/Aerith lesbian scene lithograph.
OK. You're a purist. And God hates fanboy purists, so I'd keep one eye on passing storm clouds.
I've enjoyed FF from #1 all the way through FFX-2. They're just enjoyable diversions, folks. There's nothing to be "purist" about. FFX-2 was fluffy and fun. Cracking a smile during an RPG will not bring about the Apocalypse.
bastardization of my favorite stories when there's a continuation made after the story has ended. it's as if there was a braveheart 2 being made.
No, it's not even on the same continent as the city that contains the ballpark. This comment is particularly ironic considering how Braveheart 1 was a bastardization of actual history.
Square can do what they want with their properties. I can play them or not. If they produce a sequel I don't like, well, that's life. There's no point in whining like a sissy over it.
I know you are kidding, but it's a view held seriously by many over-politicized geeks. I had one at work last month whine about how all the "Enron guys got off scot-free". I pointed him to a web page detailing the indictments and convictions already handed down, along with exactly how complex the case was (hence the delay as cases were prepared), and a little mention of "innocent until proven guilty".
You should have seen the retarded idiot go through multiple waves of ideological panic in trying to fit the facts into his monochromatic world view. Truly a scary sight. He kept trying to filter and twist the information. A world where Bush was President and Enron executives got punished simply could not exist in his tiny, broken mind.
I used to think ideology was a mental illness, but these days I think it's just the may most people's brains are wired. It's going to take another 9 million years to evolve away. So, 9 million more years of total and complete fuckheadedness from the bulk of humanity, day in and day out.
I'd rather see the League Of Extraordinary Genetlmen Book 2 version of the invasion. They invade because Gullivar Jones and John Carter (and all the creatures and races from those literary universes united) kick their slimy asses off Mars. Edward Hyde singlehandedly downs a MArtian tripod. The Nautilus takes out another. Dr. Moreau creates the hybrid infection that saves the Earth. Good stuff.
However, because Hollywood royally fucked the first book in the ass until it died of blood loss, that ain't gonna happen. God, I hate that fartsucking place.
It's not the overall level of FF users that matters -- that's going to be high on a site like Engadget, low elsewhere. It's the fact that it has increased that matters.

Everyone knows the first spam was 6,341 years ago when the serpent offered Eve an herbal remedy to not only give Adam more staying power, but add cubits to his manhood. Turns out it was just an apple, and Adam & Eve got blamed for the whole scam and banned by their ISP.

Neither. The correct answer is giant bees.

Mmmm... mutant peach.
Please tell me this was a joke.

Pfft! Spoiled brats! In my day, we had to download them by hand. Without gloves! In the snow! Uphill!
And there we're bears! Oh, such bears we had!
I could run MacOS 10 running in Cherry OS under WinXP running in Virtual PC on a MacOS 10 install within a Cherry OS install inside of...
And then I can open up some X11 windows and completely lose track of what the hell hardware I'm on!
How does it handle run time exceptions, like sticky wickets?
No, wait, that's Cricket.
I'm so confused. :(
Some would say it was Douglas Engelbart over at SRI, but, hey, what are facts in an election year? ;-) I tease...
Other than that they are perfectly fine.

Yes, it was cheesy, but so what? It was supposed to be silly. It was FF letting its hair down. You people seriously need to lighten up.

Uh, well, it's not really all that new. It came about with the inital advent of VCRs.
Shit.

Hey! Wipe that grin off your face.
Repay? How about Hellfire missiles? Then put the survivors in federal prison where lifer rapists can pound them in the ass with mutant cocks.
Or give me time. I can probably think up something really nasty where the fresh, steaming baboon semen will be the least of their worries.
Oh, there will be an accounting, a tallying of sums and a distribution of damnation, I tell you.
