  1. Re:The "environment" on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    most respiratory diseases are a direct result of car exhaust

    Sounds a bit far-feteched, have any proof?

  2. Re:The obligatory argument for ID on Using Copyrights To Fight Intelligent Design · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You can believe what you want about who created the world and what's in it. As a Christian, I know it was Jesus, but intelligent design doesn't require belief in Jesus.

    Your mastery of science seems to be surpassed only by your mastery of theology. You might want to reread your bible before claiming that Jesus created the world.

  3. Re:Books anyone? on Amazon to Enter the Online DVD Rental Business · · Score: 1

    Well there are these things called libraries that already rent out books. All you have to do is go there and ask for a card. I really don't see anyone coming up with a pricing plan that will encourage people to use their system for a fee instead of the library around the corner.

  4. Re:Modifying everything to suit us? on Genetically-Modified Everything · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What if we modified everything and then we were suddenly rendered extinct?
    Then it wouldn't matter. We'd all be dead and it wouldn't be our problem.

  5. Re:Take up music? on User Interface and Carpal Tunnel - Tech Solutions? · · Score: 1

    I second the suggestion. I took up bass awhile back and it strenghtened my hands in addition to greatly reducing carpal tunnel symptoms. I still can't play worth a damn, but it's fun trying.

  6. Re:Nothing New on Army Discusses MMO Troop Training Sim · · Score: 1

    Actually the Marines (I don't know about the other services) use simunitions which consist of paint pellets that are loaded and fired similar to real rounds. One only has to swap out the magazines, upper receiver, and buffer. Their range isn't great but they work for MOUT and other close in conflicts.

    The main argument for using a game is being able to see and review actions, and in that aspect there isn't anything else which would suffice.

  7. Re:Killing in the cause of Religion on On Religious Violence And Videogame Violence · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem with this argument is that religious people inherently ignore parts of their religion that don't support their personal goals. Add this to problems with translation and interpretation at that's why so many people have been killed in the name of religion (it's also why there are so many Christian sects).

  8. Time Lapse on Famitsu Boss Talks Future Of Game Magazines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The biggest problem with paper gaming magazines is their amount of time between an article being written and actually being published. If they want to keep their audience, then reviews need to appear before the game is actually released to the public. Being online is the only way that this can be viable. But who really wants to read through an entire magazine online? Not many, but I doubt that most people read gaming mags cover to cover anyways. Especially when the reviews have been online long before the magazine hit the newstand.
