  1. Re:When are they going to start worrying about gam on PS3 Downtime To Fight Disease · · Score: 1

    Games? Even without games they will sell 5 million PS3s, haven't you heard?

  2. Re:How the.. on PS3 Downtime To Fight Disease · · Score: 1

    But a new treatment is A NEW TREATMENT. A cure is a CURE. Stop being so goddamned cynical and take one up the rear for the good of mankind once in a while.

    So it comes in suppository form?

    In fact, Shadow Of The Colossus looks so awesome the PS2 can't even handle it.

  4. Re:Flamebait Responses on An Interview with a Cheater · · Score: 1

    If this weren't true than how can you explain cheat codes in single player games?

    Originally they were debug codes that were left in (and are still very useful for people making mods).

    That depends on whether we are talking about The Cheat.

    So is posession of heavy weapons (anti-tank or anti-air weapons) legal now?

  7. Re:democracy (is quaint and old-fashioned) on Was the 2004 Election Stolen? · · Score: 1

    How about Redundant since every time someone mentiones the word democracy we see someone going on a tirade how the USA is a republic. Well, guess what, there is no difference between a republic and a representative democracy, those are just different words for the same thing.

    At that rate I expect the Spanish Inquisition to show up soon.

  9. Re:Yes/No/Maybe on Was the 2004 Election Stolen? · · Score: 1

    The problem for third parties is that the vote split isn't the split of power. Bush won with a very small number of votes more than Kerry yet Bush gets 100% of the power while Kerry gets none. That means almost 50% of the voters aren't getting represented at all. In many other systems the parties would receive power proportional to their vote count and while that may not mean that much with two parties provided both parties can get all their politicians to vote the party line, imagine what if dems and reps got like 48% each and a third party had the remaining 4%?

    The only people with guns in the UK are the cops.

    As an American, yes. Most European countries implement legislation that allows fines for insults.

  14. Re:cheating vs. really wanting to learn on Cheating Via the Internet at College · · Score: 1

    I don't see any "written answers" exams on your list. The kind where you are writing (or drawing if it involves something graphical) but write short bits for each question instead of one large text like you do with essays. I've never seen an exam that's only multiple choice or an essay in university, multiple choice/boolean happened occassionally as a single problem within an exam and usually don't net many points, the rest is always writing out the answer. Whether it's formal proof or just a description of some process.

  15. Re:Five to ten years... on Plastic Batteries Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    That's partially because diesel fuel is pretty much nonexistent in the US and because car manufacturers build "bigger" (powerwise, not necessarily size) engines into cars sold on the US market as that market has more demand for power and less for fuel efficiency.

  16. Re:Five to ten years... on Plastic Batteries Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    As the infamous counterfeit Nokia batteries have proven, that's already the case with LiIon. Short 'em and they'll rip your hand off. Counterfeit batteries lack the short-circuit protection which means if shorted (don't know what causes that in a mobile phone but it happens) they explode, taking the device they're installed in and nearby tissue with them.

    You don't even need to use RGB SCART, the PS2 does NTSC even in PAL titles and with composite input.

  22. Re:There's a Technical Reason you dorks. on Wii Now Confirmed to Not be Region-Free · · Score: 1

    That doesn't explain why I can set my PS2 to NTSC output and the Gamecube plays NTSC games just fine once the region lock is circumvented.

  23. Re:Forget it then on Wii Now Confirmed to Not be Region-Free · · Score: 1

    A third would be a bargain. Standard console pricing is a 50% markup in Europe.

  24. Re:Bad news for the UK on Wii Now Confirmed to Not be Region-Free · · Score: 1

    Yes but console games don't use that 1$:1€ conversion, they use 1$:1.2€ which means a 50% markup on games. The PC market is not subject to these markups.

  25. Re:Bad news for the UK on Wii Now Confirmed to Not be Region-Free · · Score: 1

    Which doesn't explain why
    1. Console games cost 60€, which is a 50% overcharge compared to the US prices.
    2. PC games cost 40-45€ despite having proper translations (Nintendo only changes the text, all voice acting remains in English) and not being delayed for months in Europe.
