    I think what he's saying is, we have a Republican government which says that it tries to accomplish big things while squeezing the little people. It's accomplished the squeezing but hasn't done a single thing anyone can feel proud about.

    America won the war quite simply, Hollywood, the most important things in life are to have a big house and car.

    It's super important to have lots of money, that's how you get hot women.

    Cue American depression and anorexia, etc.

    The American's polled their launch staff and found only 25% were willing to launch, so they put guys with guns beside them.

    The Russians never did such tests, they knew they would never launch.

    We survived the cold war for one reason you'd have to be totally insane to launch, even in retaliation. The Russians saved our asses, someday there will be two America's facing off, then it'll be over.

    They're nuts enough to do it.

  5. Re:"Save Sony?" on Buy a PlayStation 3 and Sink Sony · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately they'd need to run a campaign telling consumers what DRM is first and that's a lot harder.

    And it would give the other content providers just enough time to sue before they could release the console.

    QED.

    I thought that part was sad, the aliens don't have anyone anti-social enough to destroy their computers on purpose for fun... and then we killed them.

    Meanwhile all my c code is now full of buffer overflow checking...

    Damn aliens :(

    On another note did anyone see the Forbin Project? Great computer stuff in that one.

    And tonnes of fun :P

    Leaving you to form your own justification for the action, which is pretty damn dangerous considering the justifications many American's used for their government's action towards Iraq proving faulty in the following months.

  9. Re:Answer yes on Jon Stewart to Save the Gamers? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunatly Jon Stewart's coverage of the Israel situation made me doubt that.

    I think Jon Stewarts liberalism also leads him to be an apologist for Democrats, I totally agree with his liberalism but that doesn't mean that I don't see his liberal slant.

    Jon Stewart has a brilliant show but his tight control over his corespondents leads to his being the only views expressed.

    If there are any further situations surrounding Israel or the Democrats I think another news source would be called for.

    In many countries, investors are more than happy to build factories, roads, mines, infrastructure, and the jobs that go with them. But not if government officials demand High Wages. If you had 100 million dollars, would you put it in Venesuela or North Korea right now? People who have paid a bitter price. That's a lot of money, and then they wonder why they have employment problems.

    Fixed that for you.

    Begin Linux Distro download, see 5k speed go to class, see cap totally breached.

    Some files are bigger than your caps, and the user has little control.

    Personally I don't like caps and instituting them seems like a waste of resources that could be better spent on faster connections.

  14. Re:cheating vs. really wanting to learn on Cheating Via the Internet at College · · Score: 1

    It's pretty rare that students are able to get away with copying essays from each other. Even better get students to do individual assignments totally diffrent from one another.

    You get a bit of weird grading but over time it becomes quite fair meanwhile actually allowing the students to be creative while not letting them cheat.

    I went to an alternative high school and they had this, when I got to a mainstream university I found it quite the culture shock it's a fucking terrible way to teach, any parents in the GTA I strongly advise sending your kids to UFA.

    The things are solar powered last a long time and have precise software controls any chance of designing them to build some simple but reusable tools?

    Again I must ask you why we're describing the literary value of this work, you don't need to do that with a painting it's the impression that conveys the message. Games are unarguably experiences and it's those experiences that need to be shaped to convey a message, sadly those experiences often are read this then jump on this :(

    Simple example, Let's say there was a game about the movie "Wargame" at first you fight with the computer but slowly you develop a strategie of reconsilliation and win.

    A game like that might have taught Bush a thing or two.

    Hopefully the evolution of your strategy could help you understand existentialism or perhaps just consider the perspective of your adversary.

    Really literature doesn't give answers it asks questions (Unlike the parent poster's game).

  20. Where the Ads went on Advertising Comes to DVR Owners · · Score: 1

    I own a digital cable box and a PVR in Toronto Canada.

    It resets often and forces you to go through tonnes of menu's now when you use certain of these instead of restoring you to your original channel it switches you to an all advertising channel which advertises other cable services.

    I'm sure viewership on this channel is very high as you are continually reset to it (After finishing a recorded show for example) but the cable company is monopolizing it, so when you're not actively watching you are bombarded by ads.

    Doesn't totally ofset but it's something.

  23. Performance Wise on GeForce 7950 GT Launches With Passive Cooling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There used to be the high end the mid range and the low end, (Radeon 9000pro, 9500pro and 9700pro Geforce 4Ti, 4600 and 4200) this was good the next generation of cards would have the performance of the old top card in it's mid level card and mid would be a bit above the new low end.

    Then they moved to 4 levels 6000, 6600GT, 6800GT, 6800 ULTRA (The lineup was more full but these seemed to be the peaks in this particular generation, and the performance of subsequent generations would move one level up 1 became 2 and 2 became 3 etc losing about $50 - 100 a generation.

    This addition provided something between high and middle when consumers really wanted something between mid and low.

    As a result the high end got split while more and more people clung to the middle which was why the 9500 and 6600GT were so hugely popular as mid range cards.

    High end buyers are starting to buy the mid range simply because game designers are realizing that the number of people buying $600 cards is going down and prices are going up as those consumers flee.

    Hopefully they will return to the 3 price point system as that seems to be the best for consumers.

    To card manufacturers, we're sorry about the press leaks but you better match last generations top model with a mid price card or you're going to get destroyed eventually.

    Why do people feel it's ok to give up morality in the states right now, it's ok to destroy houses and kill women and children... why? You're not in danger, there are no WMD in Iraq.

    Terrorism kills fractions as much as traffic accidents but I wouldn't rationalise shooting an automotive engineers daughter in the face as "Oooppps missed".

    I think the American people are waking up to the real danger, not from people trying to defend their way of life but from looking at what they've been doing too closely.

    American's don't want to admit what they just did out of anger and stupidity, so sad.
