  1. Re:The game did it. on Why Do Computer Games Claim Lives? · · Score: 1

    no, allowing login times longer than 48 hours is not stupid, it isn't the publisher's duty to help players with time management. if anything it would be the internet cafe's responsability to ensure a safe environment and possibly to send people home if they look ill.

    well i hate to be the one to kill the remaining part of your theory, but you can't turn ambient heat into electricity, heat is useless without a heat gradient. the only way to turn heat into electricity is to take it from a hot place to a not as hot place.

    you fail to consider the viscosity of the mantle, it oozes slowly.... VERY slowly it is not liquid magma.

    the author also runs capitol hill blue and seems to be willing to say anything to get his guys into office.

    every source regarding this quote all point back to Doug Thompson and CHB

  5. Re:*cough* on Blog Services Outgrow Their Data Centers · · Score: 1

    actually centralized services are better in many ways, they allow reasonable spam protection within comments and take care of all the hosting and upgrade concerns for you. rather than finding out too late that there was a security patch for jRandomBlogSoftware AFTER someone goes in and changes all your graphics to hello.jpg

  6. Re:All things may be equal. on Blog Services Outgrow Their Data Centers · · Score: 1

    i have used both myspace and xanga, i have never had xanga behave weird or run slowly, while myspace is slow or messed up several times a week. there certainly is a wide variety of performance and quality.

  7. Re:who cares about the bloggers? on Blog Services Outgrow Their Data Centers · · Score: 1

    no, typepad costs money the bloggers are paying for it.

    ad supported services have better incentive to keep performance up because when the system is annoyingly slow people visit fewer pages and see fewer ads before they leave to do something else

    nowadays more like the goatse clause

  9. Re:Frontpage Material on Jamdat Investor Sues EA · · Score: 1

    it barely belongs on slashdot at all, however the closest fit would be the games section, as the effects of the merger and lawsuit would be relevant to some gamers

  10. Re:Nintendo had to do *something*... on CNN Hands-On With The Revolution · · Score: 1

    the only work around that didn't suck balls was the sega genesis one, and even that chewed the hell out of your thumb after a few hours of down D-R Right High Punch

    it does, maybe your profile settings or cookies got hosed?

    i think the bigger problem was that anyone could download a CDDB CD ID list and get whatever the fark they wanted form mp3.com

    it is also entirely unrelated to rights online.

    to be Chaotic Good you would have to release MICROSOFT'S source, relesing your own is limited to good neutral and lawful good

    the GPL does not force anyone to do anything. The GPL gives EVERYONE the oppurtunity to do something they could not normally do as long as they follow certain rules while doing it.

    why the fuck would buying gold help? gold isn't any less a symbolic store of value than the others, if anything it is worse sue to being affected by both confidence on it's use as currency and supply/demand in that it can be mined and can be used to make goods.

  19. Re:Privacy != Freedom && Freedom != Privac on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 1

    if by recently you mean dating back to the founding fathers then yes, it is a recent phenomenon, though in the history of human civilization all of america is rather recent.

  23. Re:Beware of upscaling on Do Detailed HDTV Listings Exist? · · Score: 1

    meh HD is overrated for broadcast, unless a program was originally intended for HD you will end up seeing stuff you weren't supposed to, blemishes, wires for special effects, jaggies where the green screen didn't quite do it's job. for movies HD is great because theaters are already far higher quality and so you don't see random stuff that was supposed to be invisible to the viewer

    a decent digital SD format would be a much better investment, rather than one channel running at 1080i or 720p we could have 2 to 4 channels running 320 by 240 interlaced. things like news and talk shows don't need super high resolution unless YOU want to see jerry springer's pimples.

    personally i would rather have more options in what to watch than have the same options at higher resolution.

    perhapse to ease the transition flag all but one cursor as extended cursors, which applications must notify the environment that they are capable of handling before the non-primary cursors have any effect on application windows

  25. Re:You're kidding, right? on Apple Holding Back the Music Business? · · Score: 1

    horrible analogy, MS office is used to create files and defaults to a proprietary format. IPod is used to read files and does not default to anything, just plays any file it can.

    iTunes has a weak iPod lock in due to iTunes music only working on an iPod, unless you burn to CD then re-rip, but iPods have no lock in.

    also there is nothing preventing you from buying a CD and ripping it for use on your iPod
