    ... and George just shot him in "self defense"?
    Sounds like cold blooded murder, not self defense.
    Who is shooting an armless scared teen?

  2. Re:Because these fantasies are based on Britain on Why Are Fantasy World Accents British? · · Score: 1

    Westeros is more like western Europe, not just Britain.

    Why would Google shut down its domain in Greece?
    If they got a problem with Germans, they would rather shut down their .de domain.

    I couldn't find past hour/day/week search settings.
    There are probably a lot more, but this was a glaring omission.

    If there is always this high fluctuation, then this was another business as usual day.

  10. Re:Plumbers on How To Thwart the High Priests In IT · · Score: 2

    I don't think IT guys want to control your bathtub. They are more like want to prevent you to bring in your private jacuzzi to the 10th floor, when there is already a regular bathtub. And you are the reckless guy who causes flood on the floors 1-9 despite the plumbers' advice.

  11. what a bullshit! on Are Games Worth Complaining About? · · Score: 1

    I played through every good game, some even more than once. I even play some really old games now (like Baldur's Gate) or remakes of old games (like King's Bounty). And follow FreeOrion, ScummVM and similar efforts to recreate old, but good games. The present "game industry" is not targeting me any more, so I rarely find good games nowadays, I have to resort to play the same old games.

    Birds can "almost" change their sex.
    Dinosaurs are a bit lower on the evolutionary tree.
    I wouldn't declare dinos unable to do this, until i've seen their full genome. (And years of studying biology). Obviously Jurassic Park doesn't demonstrate anything, it is not a documentary.

  17. Re:Hero? on Spammers Finally Under the Legal Gun? · · Score: 1

    Though, he sets a good example.
    10 such guys would cause a tenfold problem for spammers, and those 10 guys could rack in a nice sum.

    I don't fear death because i don't understand it.
    I fear it because it is an inevitable and bad event.
    In my opinion those who don't fear death
    don't understand or don't care what they will lose with it.

  23. Re:the real problem with game journalism.. on Analyzing Game Journalism · · Score: 1

    Actually, mass effect 2 is a good game. Compared to ME1 and Dragon Age, i liked it.

    But they are nowhere near the old Bioware games.

  24. Re:My favorite part on Torrent Users Fight Back · · Score: 1

    They got no license to freely modify God's copyrighted work, did they?
    I'm pretty sure the default copyright wouldn't allow it, and God didn't issue any licenses.
