Heh. More like they'll turn it into a reality show where there's 38 minutes of annoying hosts,...
They got the annoying host, Chris Jericho.
He plays (played?) a whiney annoying bitch of a wrestler in the WWE universe, though he hasn't been around much lately. He of course, could be a stand up guy a very nice in RL, but I'm not holding my breath for that...
He also is in a band that doesn't make much waves, Fozzy. They might be good, but as stated above, he plays such a whiney bitch of a wrestler, I've never bothered to listen to them.
But none the less I will check it out. I mean, big ass robots beating each other up? Sounds fun.
Actually coal, or any carbon source, wouldn't be a usable energy source, since there's very little free oxygen on Mars.
Discovering free oxygen would be a very big deal, but extremely unlikely. The only reason there is free oxygen on Earth is because early life started some sort of photosynthesis and starting giving off oxygen as a waste product that had the side effect of poisoning all their bacterial competitors. That event is known as the "Oxygen Catastrophe".
Hi, my name is iron oxide, I'm all over mars (in fact I give the planet its characteristic red color) and make a great accelerator for thermite and other high-energy thermal reactions.
Free oxygen is everywhere. You just gotta get it from me, first.
Doesn't sound free if you have to deal with Iron first.
Arrow of Time confirmed... Wheel of Time fans disappointed.
I've been disappointed since I realized the books were very engaging, exceptionally self-consistent, and... not only sexist but was a central component of the story. That sorta ruined it for me. -- A sad panda geek girl.
yep, I noticed the women in the story were very mean to men...
Now is the part I like, how long does it take for the console to get cracked, and by what methods they are able to do it. Probably more exciting then anything else, to some of us.
I was thinking the other day that the original Xbox was based off of PC tech, so the programmers had familiar ground for making the games (really not much different then windows games), but then they veered away from that with the Xbox 360. So, as i was thinking, I figured if someone had came in with a PC (intel/amd 64bit x86 procs), nvidia/amd GPU, a more then decent amount of memory, that they might have had a decent console during these lean years of outdated consoles. Of course, the company would have to make it so you can run homebrew on it, ie. PS3 Other OS, but not locked down as much. Let peeps have access to the hardware.
Yes, software would probably get pirated, but software always gets pirated. That isn't going to change, unless they start streaming games to us, like Onlive or something.
Anyways, I hope Steam is smart enough to put in plenty of memory in the console. Since that has always been the problems with other consoles, and I hope they keep the system open enough for homebrew.
One of my kids, visiting their grandparents, managed to conjure up some pretty sordid images of bestiality in no time by just googling one of her hobbies
He did it on purpose. Google by default has "safe search" and you have to uncheck it to get porn results. Unless grandpa did it.
First off, the poster said "her hobbies" so that rules Grandpa out. And second, bestiality is one of her hobbies? Is she hot? Can I get her phone number?
I'll second this -- and I'll do it openly, not as an AC. Children should be protected from religion until the age of 18, so they have some chance of actually making an intelligent decision about it, rather than being indoctrinated/brainwashed by it while their brains are still forming.
That doesn't even make sense.
I was going to church when I was a kid, till I was 15. Had to go, everyone considered the bible the word of god and law.
Only problem was, at 15, I decided I was sick of the bullshit, the lies, and that god doesn't exist and religions are very man made.
I wasn't religious to begin with, and no amount of forcing it on me made me religious. I saw it for what it is. Other people? It doesn't matter, they can NOT see it for what it is, just what others want it to be. I'm not sure you can help those people.
References to sodomy in the Bible are not talking about gay sex, at least not the main ones that are always quoted.
Even this? "And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing. [...] And when a man lies down with a male the same as one lies down with a woman, both of them have done a detestable thing. They should be put to death without fail. Their own blood is upon them." (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, NWT) Notice that the prohibition on sexual contact between men is stated separately from the prohibition on sexual contact with animals.--Leviticus 20:15.
Wait, so if I don't let chicks give me head, it's okay if i let dudes do it? From the words there, it's just saying I can't do the same things with men that I do with women. So if I don't do anal, go down, or let the woman give me head, I can do all that with dudes and it's okay according to the bible.
EVE is not really a space sim. To me, space sim means real time flying and dog fighting... specifically things like having to lead your target.
I've always found that the X series wasn't very accessible. The controls seem really complicated (instead of complex yet simple).
But the biggest thing I miss from the old space sim days is the story. In Wing Commander, X-Wing, TIE Fighter, etc. you really felt like you were a pilot who's accomplishments on missions really made a difference in the larger picture. Something sorely missing from either of the titles that you mentioned.
This is the responsibility of the executive branch. Obama had four years to fix this, and it would have been easy for him to do this. Yet it's gotten worse rather than better.
I always find this funny.
Bush 1 fucked shit up badly. Bill Clinton came in and fixed shit better, but everyone bitches about him lying. Bush 2 fucks up with Clinton did, then fucked shit up even worse. Now we have Obama, who hasn't been very honest with us so far, and doesn't seem to care about getting America back on track.
You see the problem? We had 1 good president and all of you get your panties in a bunch because he lied. All presidents lie. That is how they make it to office. Guess what? Clinton lied and did his job great, unlike the other shit bags you have all elected into office.
You don't know when you have it good, and are way too stupid to keep the good things. We have gotten what we deserve by believing that politicians won't say or do anything to get in office. Time to stop. Make our politicians keep their promises, or we drop them for new ones. Make them serve the people, not the corporations. If we don't, then expect shit to just get worse.
Well, as someone who designs timepieces and clocks that would charitably be described as "Holy shit, is that a bomb?" I find this more than a little troubling... Oh well, at least the shoes I usually wear are an ancient and well-worn pair of Nike low-tops...no problems there...unless they decide my shoes look too old and I must be hiding a bomb in them.
What the fuck is going on with this country? Also, it makes me wonder if Woz has any trouble like this with his Nixie watch...
The crime is that he cant sue the Cops that arrested them directly. If cops had to pay for their crimes they would be less like assholes and more like civilized people.
Anybody who's read or watched 1960s spy stories knows how to make a detonation timer with an ordinary watch or analog clock. You scrape the paint of one of the hands and position a bare wire on the face so it completes the circuit at the desired time. So the argument the cops are making that the watch was capable of triggering a bomb means exactly nothing. Anything capable of marking the passage of time can be adapted to trigger a bomb. You could rig a trigger with an hour glass if you wanted to.
Well, if we didn't know how to, we do now that, thanks!. Hopefully they don't arrest you for training terrorist by telling us how to do that.
But to arrest him after the bomb squad said, "No danger"? What's the point? If the bomb squad had been worried about it, Ok, there's justification. This is just the cops being assholes because they can. Cops are not there to teach us lessons, or punish bad fashion sense. Either the guy was dangerous, had illegal materials, or indicated that he had intent to cause harm, or the cops were wrong to arrest him. I can find quite a few things wrong with just about every person I meet: if I were a cop, should I be able to arrest them for that?
Well, actually that is all cops can do. Then it's up to the DA to decide if they want to prosecute. Now if their DA is really stupid, they'll press charges, but hopefully he/she'll bitch slap the police for being stupid. Guess we will find out monday.

(looking at picture in article) I really have to wonder why malware authors use command and control servers covered in rust...

such to be wrong eh? :P
Sucks to misspell a word when you are burning someone, right?
No it's not a wake up call. Only if one of these games is successful like the "500 million US Dollar on the first day" latest Call of Duty sequel http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57551285/call-of-duty-black-ops-2-earns-$500-million-in-24-hours/
If one of these games, or better several, are huge hits, then the publishers will howl. Not before.
That only happens because of hype and a large player base of your previous games. Plus lots of advertising.

Einstein specifically requested his brain not be analyzed or end up as a grotesque and bizarre display stoking morbid curiosity.

But if this is his website, he deserves to get arrested.
Nothing wrong with that web page, seems like you are a bit jealous.

How about in civil court?
And I thought it was insane to make it illegal just to own lock-picking tools.

Well done Timothy. I submitted this story earlier and the submission by mbeckman appears to be copied from
my submission.
I figured timothy hates me because I've talked shit about his "abilities" and all my submissions end up disappearing. So I stopped trying.
Didn't this game have page turning animations in it back in '83?
This is specific to e-readers apparently. I didn't read the article, i didn't want to break any patents by turning pages.
