I guess what annoys the me is Squaresoft releasing a whole bunch of different RPGs, with different themes, different worlds and different characters, then calling them all Final Fantasy. I guess Capcom does the same with Breath of Fire, but they keep patterns going and, all in all, it's such a thoroughly-done series that it's hard to care that the characters from each game will be dumped with little chance of playing a part in the next game, and that, unlike series like Rock Man, you may not see them again...Okay so it's not that hard to be annoyed, or enraged by it, but still.
Either way, what the Hell? How old is Douglass? I'm 21 and even I can recall that the NES and Atari days were loaded with games and sequels that weren't worth playing. We have a huge selection now and even while that means more shitty games, even the not-so-hot ones tend to leave the old games (besides the classics) in the dust, they're way cheaper, rentable, you can frickin' download them, and you don't have to blow in the cartridge to play them.
Oh and movie tie-ins? The Atari had ET! Nostalgic memories can be way too selective.
Also, if there are life forms anywhere on Mars that depend on the current conditions, they'd be in some danger. Considering how curious a lot of NASA scientists are about the possibility of life forms, I doubt the proposal will go over.
Fonts are far more complex and there are a lot more of them now, and besides that, you're listing the load time of the program, not the speed of text processing (which may have been an issue on a 486 but now is all but meaningless).
But, ah, the whole reason for the loading times becomes apparent when you start doing larger text with colors and filters and blocks and so forth. Just writing a simple article can be done in TextEdit after a 1 second load time.
Heh, my G5 loads Photoshop in 5 seconds. Wonder how I lived without it.
Hey y'know if recognition programs get complex enough, we'll just use Flash applets. 3d seems over-the-top to me.
So on that note, I'm running this video game site (http://www.dragon-tear.net/) and I might need a captcha sometime later. I had this idea of generating a number with an ascii image, like so:
.
n
n n
n
n
n
n
nnnn
Really simple. That way it can be done with any alphanumeric. Does anyone know if this scheme was cracked yet?
Yeah let's just take our Prozac tell ourselves everything is good this way. Life in general is meant to be spent in a cell; it's just the way of things.
Those police, unlike all the other police in history and every court case known to man and without any precedent, would have proven he's innocent, instead of adding him to the overflowing prisons full of everyone else who was in a similar situation.
Oh God, I'd never mutilate a video with Real compression. Flash is pretty ideal though, and great with compression that doesn't ruin the video, plus you get interactivity and so forth.
Idiots who are desperate for everyone to love their interests for no reason should go study the art of dog crap disposal for ten years. Maybe throw in skateboarders or something. "Dude, dog craps is da bomb!" "Yeah! Physics rox too!" "Watch me do the Lorentz contraction!"
If you've got nothing worth saying then nobody's gonna care no matter how you say it. Confounded pseudo-scientists.
Look, government passes laws. Laws only apply when government wants. Authority's rules DO NOT apply to authority. Why is this still such a surprise? You wouldn't walk up to Bin Laden and politely ask for his inside plans; what the heck drives people to think they can do so with a government?
where he described anyone who doesn't support ever-increasing intellectual property laws as "communists"
Communism is where everything is owned by the government and is distributed among the citizens. Intellectual property is where everything you've *payed* for is owned by a company after in your possession.
If I see or sense something, then that's that. Really, science mostly involves proving and using theories; questioning everything and finding possibilities. A lot of people want to call themselves scientists, while, of course, they couldn't care less about science and are just trying to take what they were told to believe and make it seem real.
So while the posers are out to push the possibilities behind creationism or evolutionism, doomsday scenarios and things like that (not to insult any of these), real scientists would rather delve into things the common public doesn't discuss, might dismiss for illogical reasons, and could all-out oppose sometimes. Reputation and assumptions really have no place in science.
I'd rather just find out how things work and what runs them. Simple enough. Beliefs and proof can be interesting but they're elements, not the real thing.
Eh-heh, and what in the world is the PATRIOT Act for, if not to show everyone that the government would gladly throw you in prison at the drop of a hat? Just like the DMCA, I really don't think it counts as abuse when the law is *supposed* to screw everyone up the ass, and does so.
Tired of hearing about all the bad things games do?
I haven't heard any bad things at all besides eyestrain due to certain displays. The fact that some psychotic angry mom thinks games will damn us all to Hell doesn't mean anything. A bunch of brainless lies really don't count as bad things.
>but over-doing it cause you to lack in concentrating on your education and social skills
Just like eating can cut down on your starvation skills.
>Video games are dangerous because they are fun and rewarding in the short term.
What?
This is the most gigantic slew of words I've ever seen someone dedicate to a big load of hooey. A nice example of what people have to do with their time when they've locked themselves away from anything beneficial.

You just dedicated an entire post to stuttering. The world thanks you, and wonders how it ever got along without your en-genius input.
If you can't read what I just wrote then you're hopeless.
and further establishing the ESRB rating system among parents
lol "End stereotypes! Anyone who is under eighteen must be restricted from video games we don't like, at all costs!"
Replace 'is under eighteen' with 'has dark skin' or 'is female' and it becomes a hate crime.
lol I know I'm not the only one who thought 'Blackberry' meant the real berry, but was I the only one thinking 'thumbs' meant the small pictures?

I think the shroud 'Patch' may be made of the big foot suit
lol "hay everyone pay attention to me everything that's too much for me to comprehend is bigfoot and the Matrix has us all! I'm gonna go have a beer."
I would understand that it was a valid mistake.
Says someone who wasn't imprisoned for life.
Yeah let's just take our Prozac tell ourselves everything is good this way. Life in general is meant to be spent in a cell; it's just the way of things.

Like BAM! You just got nailed by a feather pillow.
You see what file sharing is doing to the market?! We cannot stand for this!

it must be true, otherwise "they" wouldn't bother to suppress it
Close. It has to be *damaging* to them if they have to censor it. Just another one of your paranoid delusions distracting your logic, it seems.
[i]Despite what the extreme left would have you believe, there is such a thing as improper behaviour.[/i]
Heh, force of habit.

And of course the logical reason backing this is... um... Okay well yer gonna go to Hell if you don't believe in it.

So we're not a communist state; we're far worse.

Technically - and this isn't very important - 'universe' refers to everything in existence. So, dimensions would be part of the same universe.

But that's semantics I guess.
Oh yeah, definitely. I'm way too busy talking to people in IMs, e-mails, message boards, chat rooms, and IRC, to socialize with anyone.
