    IBM? Also, it's not suing, but suing successfully. Look at SCO. They try to sue to the top, but they're failing. badly.

  6. Re:Can we say on Will Wright's Dream Machines · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. No game, aside from roguelikes, has immersed me as much as Morrowind, and I expect Oblivion to do the same. Truly open ended, and you truly live another life.

  7. Re:Well... Linear except for dying on Will Wright's Dream Machines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I had no idea how in depth games could get until I started just recently playing nethack. I think that if the devs wanted flashy graphics, it would take away from the immersion (my friend says anything other than the tty interface is blaspheme) You are right about how roguelikes got it right. When push comes to shove, you must remember that death is really meaningful. It's a pity that we discovered roguelikes so soon before Oblivion (=D), and i truly hope I won't forget them. Few games, if any can truly make the characters decisions as weighty as a roguelike. Several times I have been insituations where I agonize over whether or not to fight, flee, or pray in a battle, and no modern game has given me that personal level of tension, satisfaction, and ultimately not feeling as bad when I waste a great sunny afternoon killing grid bugs and cursing those damn nymphs.

    Sorry troll, you lose. If you knew anything about it you would know that AJAX is entirely browsewr based and cross platform, and ASP in all its many forms is entirely server-side.

  16. Re:A note on stereotypes. on Ask About Life, Blogging and Linux in the Middle East · · Score: 1

    regardless of the circumstances (I think everyone deserves the right to legally immigrate as long as there is no outstanding arrest warrant/criminal record) you must realize that illegal immigration is, well, illegal, and thus a crime that should be prosecuted. Also, where I live (Georgia) Mexicans are seen as hardworkers, but still the dres of society. Maybe it's just me, but 90%+ of all stereotypes are laughable. I simply avoid talking about and categorizing pople by race because that almost always makes a statement false.

  22. Re:To all the naysayers. on NASA Cancels Missions After All · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The one reason that government's can sometimes do things better or first is because they don't have to make a profit. Onced something is profitablt the private industries generally do something better, and one day NASA might just be a small research group that only concerns itself with the bleeding edge, unlike today when everything in space can be seen as bleeding edge.

  23. Re:You have to pay for the Iraq war on NASA Cancels Missions After All · · Score: 0

    I think the government should not have to pay medical expenses for alcohol or cigarrete related medical issues, because they are 100% preventalbe and it is common knowledge, if not common sense that they are not good for you. To put it another way, I don't want taxpayer money (read: my money and your money) should be spent to help those who are in the hole because of a dumb choice that they made. When I rule the world that's one thing I'm going to change. For victims of secondhand smoke, they still get support because it wasn't their fault.
