Mind you, I don't mean "childish" to be an insult, only that they (rightfully) don't understand the bullshit reasons for locking people out of the hardware said people own.
I certainly don't mean this is a tantrum or whining, crying or anything of the sort.
It's a childish reaction. You know, the one where mom or dad or your teacher tells you not to do something that you know is perfectly safe to do but that you shouldn't do it "because I said so!"
Also, spite. To really stick it to Sony that OtherOS satisfied most everyone who was interested and that by taking away this on the box feature, they brought this on.
Plus the usual "because it's there", curiosity about the architecture, etc.
I thought the moral was thusly: Steal as much as you can. That way you can afford a better lawyer (and accountants to hide money offshore for when you get out of Club Fed in six months).
Nothing when it's about myths regarding explosions and/or pointing out exactly how much energy is needed to replicate (beyond all normal and most abnormal circumstances) the results of the myth.
However, there are times when it seems like they easily bust a myth on the small scale and, well, have all the laws of nature saying this is correct but they still have to go running off to the bomb range or smash up half a dozen cars.
Why don't cars explode like in the movies? Well... because they're rigged that way in the movies whereas in real life, cars are designed to not explode. Compare that myth to diving underwater to escape an explosion.
I could only watch the first ten seconds because it just looked so uncomfortable. There was nothing natural or intuitive about the movements and WoW? Seriously, they used WoW as they're example? They need a much simpler game (and a reason to be standing) to make this shine.
I admit I'm more than a little curious as to what Jamie Hyneman came up with during the Alaskan cabin fever bit.
Also, points for saying batshit crazy lies to the media. (Also, points to media businesses that repeats said lies and for making their own. You know, "government takeover of healthcare", FEMA interment camps, all too common errors in which party denotations are reversed a la whatshisname's page scandal http://mediamatters.org/research/200610130010.)
Exactly. Most people think that humans naturally wake in the morning and sleep at night but that only came about during the 1900s. It was all part of FDR's socialist alien agenda to chill the planet by encouraging people to work during the day and thus arriving at work in the morning. Notice that the rise of the sun slows after the morning commute and falls in conjunction with the evening return. Coincidence? I think not.
Gameplay doesn't change with resolution. Image quality? Sure, I guess if you really, really need to shoot someone in the eye instead of merely the face.
In any case, the loss of resolution is usually made up by playing with friends barring gaping rifts between skill levels.
Exactly! How many times have we heard that lack of knowledge of the law is no excuse for breaking it?...but then those were usually just small fries who'd be wipe out by lawyer fees in a heartbeat...
Yeah, because that's totally an apt comparison, what, with Vietnam systematically killing millions and invading a dozen countries while their partner on the other side of the world does the same.
If you're gonna rag on them, rag on the fact that the fucking narrator spends a minute explaining what happen, another minute on what they're going to do, another on what could go wrong, replete with puns, three minutes of actually showing Adam and Jamie or Kari, Grant, and Tori doing stuff, then, just as things are progressing, they switch to the other team and their myth and start all over, and THEN follows it up with two minutes of what's going to happen after the commercial break.
He's correct and so are you (except about him being wrong). Michael Chertoff, ex Secretary of Homeland Security, ran a consultation group, Chertoff Group. Rapiscan Systems was a client at the time he was pushing for scanners while he was the current Secretary of Homeland Security.

All these assholes who can't get along would just use something else as an excuse to be an asshole.
Gogo humanity. :(
Think about all the info you have on your phone and computer and all the things that keep you logged in. Now imagine losing that phone...

I notice you didn't mention anything about the whole 'raining sulfuric acid' thing...

It doesn't help when one shows up three or four times.

Wow. How did that slip by the caps filter?
So you're saying after two failures, we can do anything?
Too much standing.

That's so mean.
Well, next time stack them all neat and tidy!
Troll? Read the link. He packed a bomb in his pregnant Irish fiancée's bag.
What good is 'security' if they can't see or report the holes in their legislated mandatory screening procedures?
If they can't see them or won't report them, then they are not doing their job and are a problem.
That'll work great until they hook up with a white girlfriend.
Oh, wait. That already happened in 1986. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nezar_Hindawi
How would you know, hmm? Unless... you read it, too!
Quick! Get the tar and feathers!

Drives me nuts (and away from the TV).
Ah, yes, I remember that. It was always fun to uninstall and reinstall the whole fucking game because the DRM flipped a shit over nothing at all.
