  1. Re:Do not want!! on Sony Producing New PS3 Hardware, Slim Appears Likely · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, there's a few models as cheap as the PS3. However, all the models comparable in performance are indeed much more expensive.

  2. Re:Do not want!! on Sony Producing New PS3 Hardware, Slim Appears Likely · · Score: 1

    Proof? Well, while the graphics cards and total memory are comparable, the processor on the PS3 is much, much better than the 360's, albeit harder to code for given that RISC coding across multiple processors was prior to the release not exactly a much needed skillset in the world of gameing; and the blu-ray player and positioning of the usb ports make it a much superior design as well. Seriously, that stupid little flap thing on the 360 was clearly designed by poo-flinging monkeys.

    You can buy a 360 without the additional attachments sure, but only if you like playing in the same room as a jet engine.

  4. Re:Both GM and Chrysler were handle poorly on GM Gets To Dump Its Polluted Sites · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Horseshit. The unions were much more complicit in the downfall of GM and Chrysler than the last few crops of CEO's at either company. Moreover, given the stock holdings that the union was given at GM, anything bad that happens to that company is now completely their fault. The fact that they sold most of it is absolutely no excuse.

    Given that the only overarching study of the worldwide temperature sensor placement concluded that a large amount of them were incorrectly placed and none of the models can correctly predict the past without inputting the actual year in as well with the fact that most of the computer models aren't even open source, and yeah, I'm going with wrong.

    *blinks* Actually, using solely reasoning one must be agnostic. You cannot reconcile actively believing in the non-existence of a creator entity with the idea of reason.

  10. Re:Communism on Computerized Election Results With No Election · · Score: 1

    Given that it is impossible for humans to 'fully attempt' said system because of rather basic instincts(which ironically are the same tribal instincts that regularly give birth to memes like socialism and communism) and limitations(monkeysphere bitches) the real world outcome of attempting said system is and will remain EVIL.

    Oddly enough, the countries you describe tend to be either highly homogeneous and/or much much older than the United States. Affirmative action is merely a race-based socialist scheme.

  16. Re:To the report itself... on EPA Quashed Report Skeptical of Global Warming · · Score: 1

    His bias is irrelevant given that it's the only study out there. Until multiple comprehensive studies are done, his study is the only input of data on the subject. If true, it means that all readings since the system was put in place/upgraded to it's current state are completely useless.

    Never happened this fast? Given that the farther back in time you go the less focused your measurements necessarily become, I find it highly fucking unlikely that you're able to say that with any sort of certainty.

    Nukes have got nothing to do with it. The reason North Korea remains undealt with is because they are effectively holding 1-2 million South Korean citizens hostage. Those are the projected number of civilian deaths from the NK artillery pointed at Seoul before we could take out the installations with conventional weapons. Now, if we went with the tactical nuclear route, that would be different. But the general consensus is that starting an offensive with nukes would be a bad idea.

Neo-Con sure, but not that right wing, as both his SGs position in Heller and his position on the bailouts proves. Sure he pushed for that stupid marriage amendment, but you can bet you left nut that Obama would have voted for it, even if he never would have said anything vocally.
