Nintendo's Ace in the sleeve is the GBA compatibility , Now its a shame they didn't add emulation for the GB and GBC.. but its a small quibble . The PSP has a few good titles (though i have regretted buying one as by a few i mean about 3 , hopefully that will change before Christmas ) but the DS can survive a drought because it has a back compatibility list in the thousands with new titles released regularly for the GBA .
Backwards compatibility can aid a new console immeasurably.. for example the PS2 when it was released had an awful line up , but there were some high quality PSX games that were just released (not forgetting the 5 or so of titles before that).I would say that was fairly instrumental in securing the PS 2s place in the market.
I would rather they pushed them back to improve them than release a buggy piece of crap (Battlefield 2). The real people at fault are the marketing department for setting silly goals , Thankfully nintendo has the sense to push things back . I don't think there will be any kind of Duke Nukem farce , nintendo do have a long history of shuffling release dates and it normally turns out for the better
I would argue that he was not a psychopath but a zealot and his actions were zealous . He doesn't really fit most of the characteristics for a psychopath . Saying that , I do believe zealots are far more dangerous .
having a look at the ICD(International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) for a psychopath
callous unconcern for the feelings of others;... Reading his biography that is very much not the case
gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules and obligations;.. Very much debatable
incapacity to maintain enduring relationships, though having no difficulty in establishing them;.. He had many long term close friends
very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence;.. no
incapacity to experience guilt or to profit from experience, particularly punishment;.. no
marked proneness to blame others, or to offer plausible rationalizations, for the behaviour that has brought the patient into conflict with society.. possibly yes
Whilst it is impossible to diagnose a dead person , it seems very unlikely that he could be classified as a psychopath
Zealotry denotes zeal in excess, referring to cases where activism and ambition in relation to an ideology have become excessive to the point of being harmful to others, oneself, and one's own cause. A zealous person is called a zealot.
he was a fanatic
"However sacrificing your own people for propoganda purposes, as Che teaches, few would argue that this is not pyschopathic." -Interestingly if you look at the Christian god . In the stories did he not send his own son down to spread his word and intend for him to be sacrificed for his goals
Is he really Canadian , nobody knows . This whole discussion has been nothing but odd jingoistic posturing set about by a troll (intentional or not). The fact remains that every country has its positives and negatives . Personally I Thing Iceland is one of the best countries in the world.I would far rather move there than to the USA or Canada . Doesn't mean i dislike the USA or Canada . There is no best place in the world , only personal preference .
If you want to piss people of another nation off , there is no better way of doing it than say "My country is far better than yours".
it turns into something like this
Yabstonian : Yabstonia is better than Blabstontia . We have Freedom and rights Blabstontian : No no , Yabstonia is not , Blabstontia rules.We also have freedom and rights but we also have better health care Yabstonian : Shut up your moronic Blabii , you have no rights compared to us Blabstontia : up yours yabso , we do too
School yard fights should be dealt with in the same way as any street fight. Skipping school should be treated the same way that running away from any state imposed service is . Cracking the school computers is cyber terrorism and should be dealt with as such
or in the real world doodling in your text books.. detention or make the parents replace it School yard fights.. break it up and give them detention skipping school... Warning and detention cracking a school computer... suspend computer privileges or a whole serving of detention for them if its persistent.. maybe even suspend them
I agree with you totally , this whole thing is a complete over reaction. Kids always do this kind of stuff , hell i even cracked a few teachers passwords when i was in school all those years ago.When I got caught i got a weeks detention . Now perhaps what they did was a little more serious , but not serious enough to get the police involved .
Depends how they word it "Bill to give the police new powers to help secure our country " "Cracking down on criminals and hard.. A new bill which will save countless millions in tax money and allow the police to get to the routes of digital crime "
That sounds like a good deal , Most phone calls are much shorter than that . Ones longer could normally do with a small break before your ear falls off .
Defiance is also a key characteristic of a psychopath , failure to comply to societal norms . I did make a typo on that sentence though;) but it wasn't the word defiantly
I prefer to draw my power from the fear of the computer users after they realise they have a problem mewahahah As they know they are going to be in for a small interrogation...Dark lord of the Sys you see..... I should probably go and see an therapist;)
You see I am far more qualified to hand out psychological advice (Dusts off his System and network administrator sign )... oh wait... no I'm not.. It is argued time and again though and we will never truly know (being that he has been dead a good long while)It is nearly impossible to diagnose the mental illness of a person who died a long while ago . So all we have is conjecture . So my belief is on no more solid ground than any
I would disagree with Hitler being a psychopath , he was certainly emotionally unstable and very passionate . He was an evil sick man , his turning on Germany was out of spite , he felt betrayed.. or perhaps the reason he destroyed the infrastructure was because he would rather it burnt than fell into the hands of "sub humans" . http://www.dailybruin.ucla.edu/DB/issues/98/12.01/ news.hitler.html an intresting article on the subject It does not require a mental illness to be a completey evil bastard

When i first read about of the game , I read the title as Planescape : Tournament .. I was looking forward to some RPG based FPS multiplayer action
Either that or we just discovered Alanis Morissette's user name
I've been racking my brain to think why it's ironic ... I deduced that the person wearing the t-shirt was in-fact an Atari 2600 joy-stick
"the release of Google Desktop 2.0 is beginning to take shape as a browser in itself as the need for a Firefox or IE is almost eliminated."
So the need for a web browser is being eliminated by a web browser .
Personally i prefer each of my apps to do a specific task or group of tasks
I originally had used a sentence involving the word myth, I decided to change it to story as to not insight a flamewar unintentionally ;)
That's promising ,I am not bothered about speed really but the power management issues were really taking their toll on my battery life
Yes , but you couldn't tell that from the chart either . ... not enough
I have an ATI card in my laptop and the drivers have improved but well

Vandalism for that.

Or anything by N-sync , Not that it would cause any problems with the wings , but it may cause the pilot to bail out.

Lets not try "System of a down " though
Hiroshima and Nagasaki .. The US military said those were necessary to bring about an end to the war.
... but it is exactly what Che did in principle .Civilian casualties to further ones goals
I am not here to debate if that was right or wrong

It does not require a mental illness to be a completey evil bastard
I am not defending their actions , only the definition of psychopath (APD)
Stalin was perhaps , he was defiantly an evil bastard .
.. he was quite possibly psychopathic .
Mao was not a psychopath he was a zealot .
Pol Pot i will give you
Castro (the nick is a joke) is defiantly not a psychopath and would possibly fall under the zealot heading.
Che Guevara was defiantly a zealot
Killing a lot of people does not mean you're automatically a psychopath , its the motivation behind you actions .
