    Or he might be positing that most members of the "creationist" group are also members of the "flat earth" group. Or he might be positing that the groups are so large, that even their intersections is big. But all the statement, by itself, really says is that "a lot" of members are in both group.

  3. Re:Lack of demos. on Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates · · Score: 1

    I've bought a few games after playing the cracked versions, specifically Lands of Lore (1), Duke Nukem 3D, and Half-Life (for Counter-Strike). The reason I haven't for modern games, is because I just haven't pirated any in recent years.

    I've also bought anime DVDs and manga books of stuff I have seen fansubs/read scanlations of.

    If I like it enough, I will pay for it.

    Why learn from your mistakes when you can redefine them as successes?

    Eh, if such a thing as a "soul" exists, it follows the laws of physics just like everything else. It might not be the laws we currently think we know of course. But either way, it's all cause and effect, or randomness, or a combination of the two. No room for "free will", whatever that's supposed to be.

    The Bethesda games (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion) don't feature kids because you can kill anyone in game.

    Don't know about Arena, but I don't think Daggerfall let you kill the main quest people.

    Occam's Razor. The reason extraterrestrials haven't crossed interstellar distances to visit us is probably because it isn't possible to cross interstellar distances safely.

    Safely for whom?

    Personally, I find this scenario to be more likely.

    Even if they doe form, and are stable, they will be so small so as to sink to the center of the earth and star devouring it at the alarming pace of 1 atom a year.

    1 atom the first year.

    4 atoms the third year.

    How does one learn how to be a penetration tester?

    I wanna know that too. Would be a perfect upgrade to my Bikini Inspector license.

  12. Re:Good on Students Learn To Write Viruses · · Score: 1

    So, police training should involve mugging practice and fire-fighter training should involve learning how to set fires. Now, I'm aware of the fact that in order to practice fighting fires, there has to be an actual fire to fight and someone has to set it. But, somehow I just don't see a five week training session at the fire department on the various ways to set different fires and how not to get caught.

    It would be useful not for fire fighter but for workers who's duty is to fireproof the place and for security guards who's duty is to prevent arsonists fro sneakily setting fires.

    Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, the latter of which was done as a film transfer... and had dirt all over the film and jittered throughout the entire movie, along with the film grain, which seemed completely out of place for an animated feature.

    Sure that wasn't a bootleg recorded with a camera in the theater? ^_-

  15. Re:DVDs already have the big improvements on New Study Finds Low Interest In Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Funny thing is, I always find it really annoying to fast forward within chapters. Especially when each chapter is 20+ minutes. Takes 4-5 button presses to speed up to 20X speed, and without motion it's hard to know when to stop unless you know the exact timestamp of the scene you want. Or maybe that's just with my $20 Black Friday player :)

    How many security issues do applets have? I thought they were supposed to run in a sandbox. What's the point of the sandbox if it allows an applet access to the file system or registry? Just protecting against buffer overflow?

    Oh, I see the sarcasm in your post now. You were calling someone a Troll, while in fact yours was the true troll post. I think that's more "Irony" though, but yes, it was a bit too subtle for me.

    No thanks, I do not want to drink out of a cup that a dirty ping pong ball has been in. I'm sorry, but the ball has been handled by several people and dropped on the ground multiple times, and ducking it in a bowl of water is not enough.

    That's easy. Al-Queda can't take away your freedom.
