  1. Re:Why Can't This Work... on Hungry Crustaceans Eat Climate Change Experiment · · Score: 1

    the algae and other seaweed growing on the ocean floor has exploded in population with the co2-rich environment. You don't have to plant any, nature already has.

  3. Re:Only difference? on Nintendo To Take On Apple With DSi App Store · · Score: 1

    improved?
    Already on the DS you can play Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, and Disgaea. It has its own gaming library of new games that will likely be just as memorable 5-10 years down the line.

    I believe the term you're looking for is "more modern, glitzed up, and shallow."

    I wouldn't be surprised if the DS has already outsold the XBOX 360, Wii, and PS3 combined, and not due to its pricetag. It's a phenomenal system, and I expect the DSi not to be "better" but to enable custom content for new games.

    But then, with a bit of a system upgrade it would easily be able to handle a game like Guild Wars.

  4. Re:Now if only the UN... on Battlestar Galactica Hosted At the UN · · Score: 1

    I say they switch to nothing but samurai flicks and anime, and become sai-fi.

  5. Re:Still waiting for adblock :( on 2.0 Beta Chrome On Windows, Chromium On Linux · · Score: 1

    take the old version, open it with winzip. one of the files within has a text-set limitation on what versions support it. just change the number, and you too can have a firesomething that works up until firefox version 6.022x10^23

  7. Re:Still waiting for adblock :( on 2.0 Beta Chrome On Windows, Chromium On Linux · · Score: 1

    While you and blahbooboo probably won't agree, I, for one, consider noscript to be the "adblock" for firefox.

    That, and I want a "firesomething" addon for Chrome. :)

    When google supports extensions for its browser, I'll switch. It is nicer, but I have my demands.

    "Did not read any replies"

    He's guilty.
    Observe: I post comments on my blog.
    I do not read replies.
    My web traffic goes up after each comment, some influencing it more than others.
    The prosecution insinuating bias doesn't have to prove that I read a single comment. If the traffic to my blog was affected by what I posted (impossible to disprove, or even to question!) then the nature of what I post is NOT UNBIASED.

    Thank you, thank you. Use this wherever you see fit, the comments are public domain.

    Amazing. the worm has already spread to change its own threat level.

    it's just a shame when that doesn't work and people tell you "your laptop probably can't run it then."

  15. Re:You Have Stolen From Your Bandmates & the R on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    My guess is that his agent or lawyer would pay for it afterwards, just to be sure, but yeah, he'd likely do something like that for publicity.

    And the guy behind the counter wouldn't mind if he recognized him. But then, that's just me being somewhat realistic here.

    No, no. *higher* than Jesus.

  17. Re:Not just - or primarily - games that this affec on Does a Game Have To Fail To Get a Real Ending? · · Score: 1

    I think anime is to blame for the worst of it. Nearly every series either sets in stone the length of the series ahead of time, or it gets dragged on for several seasons much to the dismay of the artists who made it, at least up until they check their bank accounts.

    Take for instance Slayers.
    At the end of the first series, the biggest baddest mofo in the universe is defeated.
    then, there's a second season. And at the end of the second season, the biggest(er) baddest(er) mofo(er) in the universe(er) is defeated.
    And then there's a third season...

  18. Um, guys? on Smart Immigrants Going Home · · Score: 1

    Hate to break it to you but this is not a new trend.

    "Back in the good olde days" it was an honor to have your children born in america, only to return to your home country (Especially a european country).

    Ever since before the USA was formed, people got an education over here or came here for foreign study, only to return home.

    Did you think it only worked the other way around?

  19. Net neutrality on Canadian ISPs Speak Out Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Net neutrality is like highway neutrality.

    Would you be upset if companies were allowed to contruct paying-subscriber-only lanes on the freeway? Or if they were able to just throw out traffic cones wherever they wanted?

    It really is that fucking simple. There is no benefit from any deviation from net neutrality.

  20. Using one language on Hope For Multi-Language Programming? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Using only one language is like only using one tool. sure, you can use your screwdriver as a hammer but that's what you have a hammer for.

    People are not defined by their physical characteristics. Let the parents choose things like this. It may affect WHAT their child becomes but it won't affect WHO they become.

  23. Gaming on Do Video Games Cost Too Much? · · Score: 1

    The only industry where $15 a month is "expensive" ?

    lowering costs to make more money is no new concept, it's not that you're suddenly making money appear out of thin air, it's that you're cutting into the funds people have set aside for other things like cigarettes. By all means do it, I'd like to see video games become the biggest industry in the world after this economic crisis winds down.

    Easy for me. I have a topless picture of myself on myspace. if my employer bothers reading my personal info and browsing my personal websites, it'll scar him for life.
