  1. Re:forced morality on The Moral Responsibility of Game Creators · · Score: 1

    Of course some could argue that you preventing people from forcing their morality on you is in fact forcing your morality on them.

    Hypocrisy is the act of doing one thing and saying another. A person who wants to pass laws banning alchohol and still drinks himself is a hypocrite. Someone who wants to pass laws banning alcohol and smokes marijuana is not. While a drinker might say, "You have your drug. It is hypocritical of you to refuse me mine." That would not make the teetotaler a hypocrite because he agree follows the same doctrine that he preaches.

    Thus people who preach against forcing your views on others are hypocrites because they are forcing their views on others. Of course they can solve this by simply admitting that they are in fact wrong in doing this. (Its really very complicated and catch-22ish.)

  2. Re:Evolution is not Science (Please mod down) on The Moral Responsibility of Game Creators · · Score: 1

    Large things can be inferred based on small observations.

    Evolution on a small scale can be observed to be a fundamental attribute of the universe. Namely whatever pattern is most capable of reproducing itself will become the most numerous. That is all that science can infer.

    Whether the underlying logic of the universe was created by an intelligent force or originated through random chance is however beyond the limits of science because it is impossible to observe the beginning of the universe directly.

    That is where science stops and philosophy begins.

  7. Re:Why would this be a surprise? on Next-gen Game Boy to Hit Stores This Year? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    DS to me seems to be an attempt to separate themselves from the "game boy" name in order to appeal to a more adult (not as in porn) market.

    If you walk into your office with a game boy your boss may complain, but if you just have a Nintendo DS with wireless IM, PDA like functions, PDA like stylus pad, ect... he would not have as much reason to call you on it.

    I firmly believe that the next step for the DS is as a poor man's PDA. All they need is a few software packages being released on NDS media which can use the features of the NDS in a business environment. Since the GB(C|A) cartridges use a different slot they could be used as data/application packs with the NDS cartridges acting as a mini OS.

  15. Re:No, a pound is a unit of mass on Experts Suggest Replacing Definition of Kilogram · · Score: 1

    Depends on the type of scale.

    A balance scale measures one mass against another and ignores gravity in its calculations. (So long as it has gravity to keep the weights on it.)

    A spring scale measures weight and can vary according to gravity force.

    This link explains it pretty well. Basically weight is ambiguous due to misusage.

  16. Re:I suggest on Experts Suggest Replacing Definition of Kilogram · · Score: 1

    A pound is a measurement of weight not mass.

    The mass of a pound at sea level != the mass of a pound on a mountain.
