    "A large number of Afghan informants had their names exposed "

    "Hostile attitude, disrespect for law enforcement officers "

    I have an easy answer to that.

    "Officer (or agent, whichever the situation calls for,) you are aware that multiple state and federal Supreme Courts have ruled that I have a lawful right to use of lethal force in defense against an unconscionable arrest, are you not? Either you let me go now or I'm going to have to stand in front of a judge to once again get that fact reaffirmed."

    Memphis cops HATED me. And the FBI, when they tried the same sort of bullshit with me in high school, back when Columbine happened, they REALLY didn't like it, either. Guess what? I'm still here, and they leave me the fuck alone.

    Mirror your old drive's contents onto the new drive (Sony even provided a software backup feature IRC for this purpose.)
    Install in PS3.
    Works like a charm.

    Seriously, external media just sucks and is not system-critical to operation. Use system-critical components for the transfer, and you won't have much of an issue.

  6. Re:Question on power output on Long In Development, Toshiba 'SCiB' Battery Debuts · · Score: 1

    A lot of people also screw up and think you can measure performance by 'grams per watt' which physically speaking is pure nonsense, it's grams per kilowatt-hour.

    No matter what, you still must add in per hour. Most consumers do not know a 60 watt light bulb uses 60 watts of power per hour of operation, I know some who think that's the entire power draw over a year!

    HOUR MUST BE STATED.

  7. Re:Question on power output on Long In Development, Toshiba 'SCiB' Battery Debuts · · Score: 1

    No, when you mention watts, while it's understood to those that know that it means draw per hour or charge per hour, most people do not.

    Because the watt is one joule PER SECOND, time is inherently involved and *MUST* be explicitly stated.

    A watt-hour = 3600 joules over the course of an hour, either draw or charge.

    Umm, Crystalis certainly wasn't pattern recognition. Nor was Final Fantasy, nor Castlevania II.

    And of course someone without any experience today would say Bioshock is better. They have NO EXPERIENCE therefore their words pretty much mean jack.

  9. Re:Emulators on Our Video Game Heritage Is Rotting Away · · Score: 1

    According to the very page you link: 'While the emulator isn't technically a true emulator'

    And that is because it's impossible to recreate the VCR head in emulation. It's POSSIBLE to play the titles, yet they are not emulated.

    Incorrect. The Action Maxx (which came with Sonic Fury) used a VCR. I still have the tape.

    No, the games were better. Games today rarely require you to think or use imagination, with all the focus being mostly on graphics.

    Good luck finding Action Maxx emulators or ROMs. You needed a VCR to play.

    The PDF provides citations if you bothered to even read it, just like any decent paper would have.

    Oops, your bad for not bothering to check if the sources were already contained in the document. Don't you know what a fucking bibliography is?

    The Emerson Effect is optical crosstalk that occurs when 660-670nm light is mixed with 720-740nm IR. It ends up enhancing photosynthesis, stimulating the same phytochemical systems and increasing the rate of photosynthesis.

    It's a shame you totally forget you can't mention Watt without time.

    So your lesson is pointless as you obviously don't understand the difference yourself.

    A Japanese man cries remembering Hiroshima. I am a Japanese person.

    What were you saying about "a Japanese" being incorrect? If one forgets the rest of the sentence, of course it will be improper.

    A hard piece of ice going about 400+ MPH would do some serious damage.

    I have made ice bullets and fired them from a homemade PVC cannon. Even simple rounded balls of ice cause decent damage to trees.
