    "Frankly, in this case it is quite clearly the Chinese government that is responsible for this. If Google doesn't comply, their service will be blocked from China such as they have done in ths past..."
    You're right. But Google could AT LEAST put a disclaimer or something, telling everyone that certain results have been omited. Unless, of course, secrecy is part of the agreement. And Google IS evil...

  13. Re:Non-US Elections on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 5, Funny

    Non-US countries have elections?

  15. YAWOSGWNSA on Is Open Source An Advantage For Game Developers? · · Score: 1

    (Yet Another Why-Open-Source-Games-Will-Never-Succeed Article)
    Every once in a while we get this Prophets Of The Obvious' kind of articles, to tell us what we already know. And i mean, five years ago this was probably true, but now, with games like Counter Strike, Age of Empires series, Blizzard's *craft series and many others having such a long (for games) lifespan, it is quite obvious that MULTIPLAYER games behave just differently than your average adventure game, in the way that the "replayability factor" is much higher, thus keeping the players' interest in new releases, patches, etc., always up. And guess what, this guy from the article up there just *ignores* this fact. Which, i think, is exactly the point to have in account when talking about OS gaming.

  16. Wait a minute... on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: 1

    ...are you suggesting that USA knew Iraq was "a bad guy" when they sold them all those nasty WMDs?

  18. Re:bad design, not the power on Student Killed Driving Solar Car · · Score: 1
    "...Typically it's for an "experimental" car, there are limitations on what roads you can go on, and usually requires a lead and or chase car."

    There were leading and chase cars, actually. Although very sad, it was a tragic accident, mostly. I mean, people should be aware of the risks involved in experimentation vehicles, right?

  19. You atheist communist!! on Sony Projector Gets Bright Images From Black Screen · · Score: 2, Funny

    any-country-in-the-world-ian: "Tell me, what do Americans *really* think of ?"
    american: "we don't".

    And that's not very clever, u know.

  22. Re:Outsourcing ourselves out of the economy on Video-Game Publishers Outsource Development · · Score: 1

    You've got a point. Now, who should do something to prevent this long-term impoverishment (i have just made that word up)? Corporations or Government?
    I mean, John CEO could be very altruistic, but while he keeps all the jobs here, their competitors outsource and cut costs and leave him out of business. Quite a dilemma isnt it?

  23. Re:Google can't rest on its successes on Search Beyond Google · · Score: 1

    The problem with Yahoo is that it tries to do far too much. When I want go search for something, I just want a little box asking me what I want to search for - not a huge page with a million links on it and a few flash ads.

    That'd be this.
