  1. Re:PS3 Comes with HDMI, Cheaper in Japan on Low-End PS3 Comes with HDMI, Cheaper in Japan · · Score: 1

    No, the HDMI applies everywhere. The lower cost only applies in Japan....for now.

  2. Re:No, being a sociopath is NOT normal. on An Interview with a Cheater · · Score: 1

    Assuming he's a sociopath, which he probably isn't. If he can keep normal relationships and cares about the well-being of others around him, then he is NOT a sociopath, not matter how many people he pisses off in an online game.

    Or he's read the Redemption of Althalus and is going all Gher on us. Unlikely, I'll admit.

    Here's the thing, without major reengineering to the human genome, the ideas outlined in Das Kapital will NEVER work.

  5. Re:Moo on Was the 2004 Election Stolen? · · Score: 1

    Um, no you didn't. Every single frigging election, votes in wisconsin and illinois are forged profusely for the democrats, and yet nothing's ever happened.

    Obviously he's never been to Illinois, Wisconsin, or New Jersey. Or Louisiana

  7. Re:DRM is a hassle on iPod Users Buy CDs, Shun iTunes · · Score: 1

    Quantum theory doesn't just work on the quantum level, but the probability for quantum effects to coincide in such a matter and be long enough lasting to be noticable at the specific area in the universe known as earth is so astronomically improbable as to be irrelevant.

  8. Lipsyncing. on Copyright Axe To Fall On YouTube? · · Score: 1

    Given that every single lipsync vid I've seen should be filed under parody, I'm pretty sure they're safe. Unfortunately. However, if they push it it does spell doom for AMVs.

  9. Re:I'll believe it when it happens... on Wii to be Region Free · · Score: 1

    Nope, all blu-ray discs will have regions 1&2, American continent and Japan respectively, region free.

  10. Re:Hitman on Upcoming Game Movies And Their Likelihood to Suck · · Score: 1

    Seen Find Me Guilty? Diesel's actually a pretty good actor, but I'm sorry, xXx and FF were shitty subject matter. CoR actually wouldn't have been a bad movie but they dumbed down the script a lot from it's original form. Read the novelization, it's based off of the original script and actually gives you the motivations behind each side.

  11. Re:Same old dilemma, new format. on Intel's Quad Core CPU Reviewed · · Score: 1

    So now, unless you code for 1,2, and 4 cores in the game you're making, you limit it unless the person has enough cores? Might work in 7-10 years, but not until then, and it's a lot easier to take code designed for one core and offload enough of it to optimize stuff for 2 cores but it's a whole 'nother ballgame to do so for 4 cores. Especially if you still have to design for 1 and 2 cores.

  12. Re:in other news, they're being realistic on Spore to be PC Only, For Now · · Score: 1

    Um, true, but more games are successful on PC than console. Not to mention that console ports generally get ported to more than one console, which means if you were to split sales they wouldn't do nearly as well. The exception is Halo, but that's because in the end it's a shitty FPS. Good party game, but shitty FPS.

  13. Re:Please, for the love of God... on Concern Over Creating Black Holes · · Score: 1

    And you know what, at one point in time the learned people thought flight by humans would be impossible. And then spaceflight etc.. etc.. Basically, we don't fucking know.

  14. Re:How long will that console last? on PC Game Market 'Becoming A Niche'? · · Score: 1

    Nooo, I'm pretty sure you just got lucky with your NES as both mine and several of my friends died. And unlucky with the others. I abused my first gen PS2 till the day I gave it to a friend. It's still working perfectly fine.

  15. Re:Dupe! on PC Game Market 'Becoming A Niche'? · · Score: 1

    Seperate the platforms on the console games and strip the perephials and the consoles themselves. The sections are not that different, and in fact the PC section should be a bit bigger.

  16. Re:Market on PC Game Market 'Becoming A Niche'? · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you seperate the console sections and then screen out the perephials and game systems themselves, the section for just teen and up PC games is larger, sometimes up to twice as large, than that for consoles, at least at best buy. Add in the Kiddie games, and that goes to 4-5 times.

  17. Re:The PC will always have a faster system. on PC Game Market 'Becoming A Niche'? · · Score: 1

    It's not that they're good at a specific type of math, it's that they are better than general logic cores at doing a single type of math at a time, but if you try to get them doing more than one type of activity they become much less efficient than a general logic core.

  18. Re:WoW is more inclusive than D&D. on Is World of Warcraft More Than Just A Game? · · Score: 1

    Hey, the first D&D movie was a good piece of camp. Mind you, the second one took itself waaaaaayyyy too seriously and therefore sucked balls.

  19. Re:Blazing saddles review on Blu-ray vs. HD DVD Round Two · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Um, it was made to insult, the fact that it insults now as well just furthers the genius of the movie.

    At least for the power, gas, water et al, they are not truly private entities but already closely regulated by the government. As such, regulations for accessibility that apply to the government can apply to them without much trouble.

    I have yet to see any quoted source on the insane complexity of the devkits. Nowhere. The closest thing I've seen actually quoted is that it's difficult, but not near the shittyness that was the PS2 Emotion Engine.

  24. Re:so, is MS okay to bundle now? on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    DX10. OTOH, if some enterprising hacker group manages to release a version of DX10 for XP, any and all reason for buying it goes straight out the window.

  25. Re:Separate box just for the gaming HW? on Chip Promises AI Performance in Games · · Score: 1

    Except for the PS3, which has a processor whose components can seperately act like dedicated procs to a specific purpose and feed it to the managing core of the system. Probably cheaper in the long run than separate cards.
