    There is nothing 'gay' about the rainbow. Just because a group of perverts got together, took over the APA and FORCED it to redefine homosexuality as 'normal', and then terrorised the rest of us into submission, by threatening to sack us from our jobs if we dared to say one word against the 'wonders' of homosexuality, doesn't mean it's normal.

    If you have to FORCE people to do something, it means they don't want to do it. Most people can't stand gays and don't want to be around them. The rainbow is nature's most beautiful sight, and is nothing whatsoever to do with perverts taking it up the ass.

    What sort of man substitutes another man's anus for a woman's vagina. Was the anus designed for the penis? Were two penises designed to 'mate' with each other?

    Quite obviously homosexuality is a paraphilia, because your genitals don't fit together.

    I'm not gay, but it seems to me a penis fits inside an anus.

    Now, a penis wouldn't normally fit inside a nose or ear, or even belly button, so wouldn't that be more a pervy move to try to fuck those places?

    And after all, woman like it up the anus also.

    The truth is, you are like the people that used to believe the earth was flat and would put people to death who said otherwise. Nothing wrong with homosexuals, just people. The problem you are having is you obviously like to get it up the butt, and you feel guilty about it, because your religious upbringing. Probably catholic and the priest didn't molest you or something. But either way, you want it bad, but feel guilty, so you lash out in public.

    First, the OTA stuff is, of course, free.

    Second, I hate to think what kind of twisted logic you used that leads to the conclusion "if you have a license to use part of the spectrum, everything you do (including that not using any of the spectrum) must be free".

    Third, "NBC" does not have a license to broadcast over the airwaves, their affiliated stations do (yes, in some markets the affiliates may be owned by NBC).

    Fourth, I am guessing that you also have a license given to you - to drive on the roads (which belong to the people). Does that mean that you are somehow obligated to give a ride (for free) to everyone that asks? Oh, and BTW - we also get to park in your driveway and camp out on your lawn too, because, you know, you do have that driver's license.

    Fifth, NBC paid a whole lot of money to be able to carry the Olympics. They did this for one reason - to make money. Who are you to 'demand' that they give it away for free?

    Last, do you know what the 'mono' in 'monopoly' means? It doesn't mean "choices I don't like". Don't like the choices? Too bad, but you do have choices.

    Or maybe people want to actually watch the olympics when it happens, not buy it later.

    Yes, I have choice. It's circumvent the block to watch it from the BBC, or download it from thepiratebay.se or similiar sites. (I like usenet myself).

    NBC paid a whole bunch of money to be dicks about anyone else watching it. So fuck them.

    Sooner or later, the Networks are going to finally understand that people can get the shit for free now, so why the fuck are we going to wait to buy it later?

  8. Re:Are people still playing this? on Star Wars: The Old Republic Adding Free-To-Play Option In November · · Score: 1

    I'm not being sarcastic, I really am curious. There was a HUGE amount of hype around the release (the usual "WoW killer" stuff that seems to accompany any major MMO release these days). Reviews seemed generally positive. Everyone was talking about it for a week or two after release. But then I stopped hearing anything about it. Don't think I've heard anyone mention it for a while. Considering this was supposed to be the game that finally fixed Sony's Galaxies fiasco, I expected more enthusiasm.

    I do like the free-to-play stuff, though. And this might lead me to try it out. I just hope they don't cripple it to the point where it's hard to get an idea of what the paid game looks like (like some MMO's do--some that have initials like "W.O.W.," maybe).

    It started having a Free Trial and I checked it out, and I don't understand what is special about it. It's sort of boring and it has way the fuck too many cutscenes. Nothing takes you out of a MMORPG like prerendered cutscenes.

As a Christian and an American, it seems obvious to me that in order to have a free society, both Christians and Atheists must be free to criticize each others viewpoints in the public square of ideas.

    I certainly wouldn't want to be arrested for quoting the Bible: "The fool says in his heart, there is no God." And if I want that freedom, I must allow Atheists the same freedom.

  11. Re:Complexity on Ask Slashdot: Are The Days of Homebrew Gaming Over? · · Score: 2

    Older consoles were not particularly complex and used moderately common parts so you could hack them and make your own games since things were generally well documented.

    These days consoles are generally far more powerful than your average PC with custom hardware (so you're not emulating it) and good luck making games without manuals, etc to tell you where to even begin coding. Without an emulator you can't code and test on your PC. Every change has to go through the process of loading it onto the actual console.

    In addition, with certified channels, you don't need to go through the hassle. If you want to make games, anyone can for iOS and Android and if you have talent you can get picked up by a developer with the proper tools to work on consoles. XBox is pretty much a standard PC so you can use DirectX and if it runs on your computer there's a very good chance it will run on the XBox. MS released XNA to make XBox development accessible to people.

    So again, the whole "homebrew" thing is either supported or not. If it's not supported by the console maker, it's just not worth the hassle. If you really want to get into the game programming business it doesn't matter what platform you work with. Most people now just use the PC, Android or iOS since that captures the bulk of the market and proves you value to any development company.

    Homebrew hasn't gone away. The historical "hacking" aspect of that term has just been rendered mostly moot.

    Wow, spoken like someone who's just guessing.

    The consoles are NOT more powerful then PC's, do you even read what's going on?

    Programming the consoles haven't been a problem. The Wii, Xbox 360, and the PS3 all have active "homebrew" and programming tools.

    Homebrew is almost NEVER supported by the console developers, we hack the system, then get it to run what we want, then release tools so others can, which in turn, usually gets more tools released.

    Sure, it's not big, it's not about making money, and it's sometimes a bit primitive, but that is what makes it fun.

    Windows 7 is a decent OS, but they've already dumped it for Windows 8, which they are betting the farm on, with Windows 8, and of course, the Xbox 8. And speaking of Xbox, success story? Sort of.

    First MS took a loss on the hardware sold. Then they took it up the butt because the hardware was failing. So, finally, 4 years after they introduced the Xbox 360, they got a version that doesn't overheat. Not sure where you are from, but I do NOT call that a success. No other console had to go thru so many updates to fix hardware problems, most consoles go thru hardware updates to make them cheaper and smaller.

    Xbox Live is where MS makes their money, and in that, they have been successful. Except lately it's become very ad centric, so lets see how that goes.

    But since you are too stupid to read the article (maybe because you are so old and need new glasses?), you would of seen it was about how MS has fucked up and lost the lead and innovation they once had. The article isn't about their successes, but namely, what they did wrong.
