    What ever happened to mailing? (not e-mail)

    umm, useing e-mail to "serve" people or get ahold of them is NOT a reliable means. Call them, mail them or go vist their offices.

    relying on e-mail was his mistake.

    Kudos to epic. I'm sure they are firceing atari to pubish it like this. Atari is a BAD publisher.

    Why not have paper ballots that you simpley check your choice with a big check or X and then have a machine that scans the ballot and counts ballots? And do this before the voter leaves!!

    you have your paper trail, simple hardware, if it doesn't count properly or more then 1 choice was picked send the voter back.

    I mean how hard would this be to do? Wouldn't it be a much better system?

  13. Re:Less Violent End? on End of the "Lone Asteroid" Theory? · · Score: 1

    I agree, I don't give a damn about CO2, Stop it or produce more. I don't care. bad? good? who knows. Neither has been proven.

    But i would like us to stop useing fossil fuels for the OTHER more DANGEROUS emmisions that DO pose a HEALTH threat to humans. I don't see why theres this big deal about CO2 when coal power plants put radioactive material into the air every day, cars put out pollution (NOT CO2 mind you) that is proven to be bad for the enviroment and out health.

    So wtf is with poeple and their CO2 obsession?? the kyto accord should have focus on reduceing the amount of fossial fuels used by a country, not CO2 produced. (thats assumeing you could call it a "fair" treaty)

    hmm its fun to bitch about how silly and stupid the goverment is!! i should do it more often.

  20. Re:3D Control? on 3D Display, No Glasses Required · · Score: 1

    well homeworld and other games do a pretty good job of it. You can move along any 1 plane with your mouse, so you just have modifier keys to change the plane your moveing in.

    Also who would WANT a 3d desktop? my 2d one gets cluttered enough as is. Theres really no point for text/regular 2d stuff to be changed to 3d.

    Thats why theres no demand or need for this except in specialzed places. 3d radar screen, instruction video, miltary, architecture, construction, anyplace where you need to view something in 3d.

    Only good for consumers for games, movies and intresting screen savers:)
