  1. Re:Damn censorship.... on ClearChannel Plays It Safe · · Score: 1

    As I said... sort to speak.

    They died from terrorists. You are absolutely right on that one. However, they died ... hmmm... let me think on how to phrase this correctly.

    Because of certain freedoms, this act went on. I know it doesn't make much sense, but let me put it this way- if the US was a police state, this would not have happened. Yeah, its taking it to an extreme, but I can't think of a better way to illustrate what my reasoning behind my logic was in words.

    The last three lines are to prove a point. We have the first amendment covering our rights to the government. Yes, the company can do what they wish since it IS their company, however that kind of thinking will get someone elected with the purpose to change the freedoms of the citizens of the United States.

    What I do find important is that you shouldn't use those that died as an excuse to either invoke censorship or to stop censorship.
    So instead you should let someone invoke censorship and not try to stop it? Maybe I didn't get the meaning of that line correctly... I'm not trying to use the people dying to stop censorship, I'm trying to get people to stop using the people dying as a reason to invoke censorship.

  2. Damn censorship.... on ClearChannel Plays It Safe · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Bah to it all. Why can't people just realize that human adults censor what is inputed in to their brains to begin with? I mean, come on! How does censoring music that has some relation to the NYC bombing help anything at all? Those people died for certain liberties and rights sort to speak- why take away what they died for just to try to soften the impact that they died?!!

    If I died in a terrorist bombing in the United States, the supposed country of freedom, I would be rather offended that this country of freedom that I died in is now restricting it.

    They took away the second amendment, but I didn't complain since I had no guns.
    They took away the fifth amendment, but I didn't complain since I had nothing to fear from the courts.
    They took away the first amendment, and I couldn't complain.

  3. My neighbor... on The Joys Of Losing Your Cooling Device · · Score: 1

    ... she had a P3-450. Still does in fact. Anyways, after two years or so, the machine became VERY unstable. I went over to check, couldn't find anything, and hit the BIOS to check the temp.
    74C.
    ... I freaked out. I never saw a non-overclocked machine that hot before... turns out that the manufacturer forgot to plug in the fan's power.
    Well, at least now I know how hot a P3-450 can get without frying...

    Nintendo already refused a deal with Square. Square won't release for the Gamecube ever.

  5. Oh no! on Congressman Boucher Responds · · Score: 1

    Is Dragon one of his funders? Is he trying to get into /. an advertisement? RUN AWAY!!!!!! :) Seriously, at least so far he seems like someone that knows a bit about computers- I wish all reps were like that....

  6. Re:Most addictive? on Up, Up, Down, Down: Part Four · · Score: 1

    Either Civ, or one of it's derivitives (Civ2, SMAC, or SMAC:SMAC). I still think Sid Meyer's Alien Crossfire is more addicting....

  7. Now... on DOOM Port for Digita OS Digital Cameras · · Score: 1

    When will they start porting Commander Keen?

    Whay about porting emulation of some of the 8-bit consoles... a camera might handle that...

  8. Science following computer game? on Could The Moon Power Earth? · · Score: 1

    In the game Allegiance by M$, Helium-3 was the most used resources, and they mined the moon for it. Hm...

  9. Hope on Human Genome Mapping Completion TBA · · Score: 1
    All I have to say: Let us hope that no one decides to use this technology for biological warfare, genetic weeding, or for discrimination (see: Gataca (sp?))
