    OFFICIAL servers. There are some private PSO servers running around. I've considered joining one... ahh those were the days. I racked up 500 hours in 2 months on that game... the Dreamcast was definitely the last true gaming console. Perhaps some other console may one day rise to claim the title? It would be nice if SEGA would make a comeback to the console market.

    It's only funny when it doesn't make me cry that this didn't happen. Starcraft was so much more interesting than Warcraft.

    Wait, scratch what I just said... I'm a little tired right now and missed the counterweight, although that does sound just a tad bit dangerous. Centripical forces, I knew they had a better function than seperating Uranium 235 and Uranium 238!

    I should have asked this before, but does anyone know how we plan to keep this space elevator up? Also, if it's connected to nothing, then I suppose it isn't very useful for getting items to the moon? Unless of course, the items come prepacked with some sort of mobility enhancing functions.

    Not to be nit-picking or anything, but technically a virus is not alive, therefore you can not kill it.

  16. Universal balance applies to all. on Court Rules Burning Porn = Making Porn · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There is a certain state of good and evil involved in this. While on one hand it is wrong (in our society) to view child pornography, making it (ACTUALLY making it) is a far more severe crime. We all have urges, whether we want to or not, that is what makes us Human. Albeit this is one of the worst social taboos in our society, what he did hurt no-one. Personally, I do not think he should be punished, but instead should be helped. Obviously his surroundings didn't sufficiently teach him what our moral standards are and why we follow them. The true question at this point is, should the courts be punished for perversion of the law? I think an abuse of the system such as this should never be allowed, he never infringed on anyones rights, while the court system did by removing his rights unjustly. In-short, take the guy to a psychologist, and take the judge to a basic morals and ethics class.

    They do, hard-drive companies use the metric standard when listing sizes, while Windows will read it in the ibi-prefix standard. Which is why you lose about 10% of your data capacity upon purchasing a hard-drive. :P

    Yes it is, because MB means 1000 Kilobytes, and MiB means 1024 Kibibytes. Usually you're off by a factor of about 0.91 or 1.1, which can mean a lot. Please don't insult the functionality of accuracy. :D

    This is offtopic but... I'm glad to see someone using MiB rather than MB, that makes things so much simpler because of the way metric prefixes work. I salute you!

    One of the programs associated with Python is called Idle (used for typing code and then running without any compiling, good for quick tests), this name comes from Eric Idle, who was on the cast of Monty Python.

  25. Re:Pitchforks, tar, and feather. on The Future of Tech And NSA Wiretaps · · Score: 0

    But the only way to fix it is to try, you have to realize that starting a revolution is no easy task, and the beginning stages must be done in secrecy. It has to be decentralized, it's like Bittorrent vs. Kazaa, Kazaa is much easier to track because it's centralized, but if you decentralize it, and say...have multiple leaders attempt to achieve the same goal, perhaps even everyone working in tangent with one another and having only a slight idea of who is who, then it would be more successful. Keep in mind that it would involve violence, you can't have a revolution without a little blood being spilled, that's just the way things work. If any attacks were made they would have to be made against the government directly as well, if civilians get hurt the cause because meaningless to them, this battle is about freedom against security, if you make them crave security they won't be on your side. This country was _founded_ on freedom, and without freedom this country is nothing. I am not proud to be an American but I am proud for what we should stand for. I was born and raised in Texas and I have a lot of pride towards what this state has been through to maintain it's independence, it's freedom! We're losing the battle by simply giving up, you can't give up, if you believe in something you have to see it through 100% otherwise you don't truly believe in it. I think the freedom of everyone else is worth risking my life for, I won't risk my life for what other people believe though, that is the difference. So to reitterate the basis of this response, you can't just give up for what _you_ believe in, and obviously you must not believe in the cause to the fullest extent.
