  1. Re:We hardly knew ye...for two years. on Bethesda Rolls Out Final Oblivion Content Addition · · Score: 1

    You are mostly talking about level listing, right?

  2. Re:Could be a tremendously capable tool, but.... on Pentagon Urges Space-Based Solar Power · · Score: 3, Interesting
    this mean that the Pentagon could *bogart* all of the power when needed

    They can do this now (with the civilian president's executive authority), it's just terribly inefficient to do so.

    And it's doubtful that they ever would turn off everyone's power - particularly since they haven't so far.

    Mod community supporting the game?

    Can you compare sales on 360/PS3 to PC and tell me that moders made much a difference?

  4. Re:video link is of an unrelated demo on Dragonfly-Sized Insect Spies Spotted, Denied · · Score: 1
    It's more a testament to the effects of LSD use among the protestors than to an gov'ment conspiracy.

    Apart from the fact that these anti-war protests are a huge potential magnet for a suicide bomber.

    They aren't charging more. They are charging the same price and throwing in two pretty good games.

    And how large is Wii's HD?

    I wonder where they will put the games since they have upped the max size of games to 150mb. The games they are releasing with it may be smaller. I wonder what happens if you erase the card?

    On legendary? What's your gamertag?

  9. Re:Compatibility on Do You Recommend Google Maps API or Microsoft Live Maps? · · Score: 1
    Where else would such a clueless post be considered 'insightful.'

    Pick the browser of your choice and see how well maps.live.com works. The answer is 'flawlessly.' This goes for all the slick tools in the colections that aren't there for Google Maps (talking about vanilla options here).

    I've programmed with the Google Maps API and it's pretty limiting. My future projects will be done with Live.

  10. Re:Uh, thanks, Jack. on Jack Thompson Includes Gay Porn With Court Filing · · Score: 1

    Apart from the merits of the case, there is actually good reason to include the images rather than a link to a website. Website content changes and a permanent recording needs to be established.

  11. Unbundling.. on EU Think Tank Urges Full Windows Unbundling · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I also look forward to having the software unbundled from my TV, cell phone, DVR, Xbox360, car, and wrist-watch.

  12. Mashup: Opentable and Zagat on Intel Releases Mashups for the Masses · · Score: 1
    Those two are the ones I notice a lot of jumping back and forth from, but any such 'mashup' would have to be approved by both parties.

    I get the sense that if there is a large population of people who desire a site with a common set of features from two different sites one of those sites would simply add them on their own. Otherwise a third party would wind up simply ripping off the other's content.

  13. Re:Fallacious argument on Lost Odyssey To Span Four DVDs · · Score: 1
    It does stand ground, in a way, because ms doesn't support HD-DVD games (though it may be technically possible.)

    However, I think the argument is fallacious because if you are complaining about the need to change the CD every 10 hours, you probably need to be changing the CD every 10 hours just to give your body flaps a chance to air out.

    They were both pretty lame.

  15. Re:Halo Marketing - Pathetically Desperate on Halo 'No Longer Just a Game' For Microsoft · · Score: 0, Troll
    The only thing notable about the franchise is it is the only thing Microsoft has to talk about.

    You're a moron. There are several successful franchises for the Xbox- two racing, KOTOR/Bioware, and a bunch of well received hits like Crackdown and Pinanta.

    On the other hand, you're just some fat slob posting as an AC of all things on the internet. Maybe if you did something with your life you'd be worth listening to.

  16. Re:"MasterChief"? on Halo 'No Longer Just a Game' For Microsoft · · Score: 1
    I don't think that language denotes they didn't consider him human. The suit may be what they were referring to.

    The 'son' thing is an age thing, I'd guess.

  17. Re:Or, you know... on Ghost in the Shell, Other Anime Coming to Xbox Live · · Score: 1
    That makes so much sense but the odds are that if you are an anime fan and have a 360 with a broadband, you also have bit torrent. And then you can take it and transcode it and watch it on your 360.

    That's been the big hole I've seen in the downloadable media from XBL. I watched and LOVED Clark and Michael - but it was free. I'd like to see Afterworld on there too (for free). But there is no way I'm going to pay money for something that is going to get stuck on the 360 on the limited 20g harddrive.

  18. Re:In other words... on Ghost in the Shell, Other Anime Coming to Xbox Live · · Score: 0, Troll
    Point being, I don't care how cheap it comes out to per month. I don't want to pay for something I won't be using.

    I get the feeling you have the same attitude about antipersparent.

    He opened his post with 'generally accepted.' That's internet debate lingo for "I made this up and can't prove it."

  20. Re:lets do the math! on Comcast Slightly Clarifies High Speed Extreme Use Policy · · Score: 1
    I think someone already used the 'welcome to 1998' line. If it was you, shame on you for unoriginality.

    You demonstrate clearly why there needs to be more tiered pricing options. Comcast - in my area anyway - has only one price and one tier.

    I'd rather not subsidize your 800 GB of pr0n a month (yeah, XBL demos, WHATEVER) when I only play Poker and Burnout on XBL and watch legal tv programs on their network sites and read slashdot.

  21. Re:Confusing, we need better descriptors on Impassable Northwest Passage Open For First Time In History · · Score: 2, Funny

    That regional changes in weather patterns, including temperature, occur, is not disputed. That we are in an actual warming phase - globally - is in question and that it is caused by Al Gore jetting around in a private plane is an article of faith.

    Here.

    And while some populations have denned on the ice, those same populations are starting to den on land, too.

    As the environment changes as it has throughout history, it is not unexpected that certain populations will grow and decrease.

  23. Re:Misleading info on Polar Bears on Impassable Northwest Passage Open For First Time In History · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, and if you read it, you will see that since the 1970s the population has risen from 5k to 25k. This during a period of alleged global warming. Their numbers are not in decline.

  24. Misleading info on Polar Bears on Impassable Northwest Passage Open For First Time In History · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Polar bears were not mentioned in the linked source but multiple radio reports I heard on this referenced a threat to polar bears.

    This is assinine given that in the past 30 years the worldwide population of polar bears has climbed 500%. Just don't tell any members of the Church of Global Warming.

    Correct, it does not. Cycles of warming and cooling independant of man's actions are in evidence.
