PS: Isn't it funny to say that 47% of high school DROPOUTS think school is boring? Yeah, and 47% of the guys who broke up with that hottie in high school believe she's a bitch. Yah think?
PPS: 53% percent apparently DIDN'T think it was boring, which is MORE, i.e., a LARGER number (hey, I'm just spelling it out for "generation YouTube" here). unless they were only counting the primary response, in which case there could be any number of other responses, and they could include things like 'i got offered an fasttrack college scholarship' or 'my brain was damaged by a passing manatee' for all you know.
Sometimes a method just doesn't work for some people. There is a near infinite set of possibilities for that, but that's just not the point. The point is that teachers are supposed to be educating kids to be helpful and productive members of our society. I agree that most of the efforts to use new tech to appeal to kids have failed dismally, but saying that it's the fault of the technology just doesn't sound right.
Then again, you just used the fallacy of the undistributed middle to try to prove that other people make stupid arguments, so i don't really know what sounds right to you..
That's peripheral to the argument.. and anyway, it probably seems like that to most teachers... perhaps an analogy like 'what if you were taught addition on an abacus when there was a perfectly good blackboard available?' would help in that respect.
I can't speak for everyone, but i think i personally learn much better when i'm enjoying myself... now all we need are a couple of fun educational games.
now FYI, where i come from, 'Hippie' is an insult, especially in that context. If you're not a close friend saying it in jest, don't be surprised if i get upset by it.
yeah, yeah.. i don't think that was my point to being with, but i also don't think i spelled it out very well. Here is my only point in this whole argument: when you release information, you can't expect to keep control over it. That's it. Pure and simple.If nothing else, i think we can agree on that.
As i said, i'll give it all up, as soon as you're willing to make the same commitment. I see no reason to give you anything, since you clearly have no intention of reciprocating.
As for the value of information, are we having a rational debate about the value of 24 songs being traded on the internet vs. the value of a real person's ability to live her life, or are we having an abstract argument about semantics and my (un)willingness to submit to your childish demands?
for your benefit, i'm going to assume it's the former and say that $220k is a lot for this person to pay for such a minor crime, especially since it's so common as to be considered a non-event, and the plaintiffs in this case have a habit of only picking cases they are sure they can win.
one more thing.. maybe you're used to winning arguments with ad hominem attacks, but it won't work all the time. Good luck with the shitstorm, i think everyone's going to need it sooner or later.
Agreed. Being a professor does not (and should not, unless reasonable evidence can be presented) automatically qualify a person as an expert witness.
Doug Jacobson's homepage is probably a reasonable indicator of his actual research and qualifications, since they're all listed there. He is a security researcher, but it appears at a glance that his specialty is massed network operations.. I guess at the very least he'd have to know a little bit about TCP/IP, although that isn't necessarily sufficient to prove he is an expert on spoofing, IMHO..
of course, those who i do consider experts in the field would not be allowed anywhere near a case like this.
Yes. Yes i do, and no, i'm not anywhere near as squeamish about it as you might think.
Also, I don't live in your country, therefore i'm not subscribed to your archaic tracking system, I'm not married, i don't have any children or pets and I most likely earn more than you do, hippie.
Information is information, you fucking luddite. Either realize the point of the argument, or get off the fucking internet.
thats' fine provided i can return the favor.
However, your analogy is really pretty shit. The computer is a physical tool, the cannabis a consumable. Neither of these can be shared in the same way that music (or any form of data) can be.
Also, you're stealing my oxygen right now.
Which is why, when you freelance, you don't charge people unreasonably for what is the equivalent of 5 minutes work for you. Especially since the bulk of the work was done by Chris Brady (who gives his software away for free, mind you).
You simply start memtest86 running, walk away, tell them to call you if anything turns red. Simple.
So he was actually fired for expressing an opinion when in the capacity of chairman of the meeting, not necessarily for the content of it.
If the SFS has a strict set of rules, this is actually legitimate ground for dismissal... even though he asked for permission, and even though he had a valid point.
Sad that they didn't observe the rules so closely before...
Apologies, the PSP is also MIPS based... which of course explains why you can now run PS1 games at virtually full speed with little alteration..
Anyway, my bad.
I was running my mouth off for 4-5 months and it was an "OK" experience. Most things in the box worked right out of the box. With the notable exception of people not listening to me.
For 99.999% of people, and 100% of organizations, I recommend keeping your fucking mouth shut. I don't recommend stupidity.
Relax, he's only attempting to facilitate a ban through a legal pathway (which he himself had a hand in creating). That doesn't mean he's trying to have an existing law enforced, it means he's attempting to have the law applied to a product that it does not yet apply to, and (in this particular case) he really doesn't have much of a chance of succeeding..

I believe that part of the problem is that many people don't have a choice of provider.
Don't fool yourself. There are no good guys in politics.
how about.. The gameplay makes me sweaty. In the pants.
congratulations.. i lol'd :P

no idea how else they were going to get rid of them.
good one kid. you'll go far in life.. provided no one decides not to feed you because you're a rapist.

sure sure, i shouldn't nitpick.. but the problem is much more than just compatible resolutions..

well said sir. Would mod you up, etc etc..
i may have to literally kill myself from shame and embarrassment.
umm, no you can't. The architecture is completely different. The Wii is PPC based, the PSP is Cell based, and the PS2 is based on a custom MIPS CPU.
In addition to that, they have different native resolutions, vastly different amounts of ram, different control interfaces, etc.
While you can cross compile code from one to another fairly easily with the right compilation tools, you CANNOT expect them to just work when ported.
Best case scenario: they'll look weird and won't run quite properly.
Worst case scenario: it'll never work at all.

It was a hard one to find.
Seems a bit steep for such an old game, but it is quite difficult to come by. more info can be found here of course.

no, because they probably don't exist.
