    Sort of like developing for the PC, right? I know, we should all move to vendor-locked consoles.

    I was planning on posting something similar to this. I totally agree with this point. If you can run the same OS on the desktop with millions of hardware configurations, why is doing the same thing on a smartphone all of a sudden an issue?

  5. Re:Yay. more money for mansquito II! on Stargate Universe Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Eureka? Sanctuary? Those two are decent. The of course they have scare tactics, which I don't like, and ghost hunters, which I loathe.

    They used the same thing against Church of Scientology. Basically they fax you a black sheet of paper so you run out of toner printing them.

    Yes but if the person who cracks a system also does it by writing his code, you take the hac and you ad the ker from cracker... no wait you take the crac and add the ker from hacker?

    One sided wars are better than evenly matched wars by far. Better in terms of casualties anyway. Though if your goal is population control, evenly matched conflict will thin the herd quite a bit.

    Parent is accurate. The ensuing wars from USA's demise would severely deplete Human populations across the globe. Think how fast China would invade Taiwan. And Mongolia for that matter. How quickly would North Korea roll South. WWRD? What Would Russia Do? Say bye bye to Georgia, that's for sure. Venezuela invading Columbia? No that would never happen... Iran invading Iraq... I wonder. And these are just off the top of my head.

  12. Re:Not equal on StarCraft AI Competition Results · · Score: 1

    Yes this is definitely the best feature of original SC! I loved how the team of players could also choose different races. And you started with the command structure of player #1 (Human CC for example), but you got your own drone or probe as a starting worker to build a Nexus or Hatchery later!

    Personally I love coop in a RTS! Another game that had this feature was Conquest: Frontier Wars. Excellent game too. I recall one match where we had 3 players vs 2 players, with each side controlling only one empire. It seemed that the side with 3, which I was on, came out on top BY A LOT. It really makes a lot of difference if you can keep track and micro more of your empire.

  20. Re:Is revenue still increasing? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 1

    I agree. As a matter of fact knowing the piracy rate is nothing but a headache. You are better off just knowing how many people bought the app and ignoring the rest.

    That's pretty great feature, and it pretty much removes any excuse for piracy.

  25. Re:Two Wrongs. . . on UK Pursues Tax Evaders Using Stolen Bank Details · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This hard earned money is not your to begin with. It's not even real! It only has value because of the government. How much would one dollar be worth if the government didn't exist? If there was no one watching the boarder, and anyone can come from any shitty country and steal it from you. If there was no police protection your beautiful house would only be worth as much as the window a gang of criminals smashed to get inside, and loot it; proceeding thereafter you kill you and rape your family. Or how much would your stack of bills be worth if no one regulated inflation, and overnight it wouldn't buy you a loaf of bread? (See Zimbabwe)

    Not everything government does is great, or even good. But they do enough good to make it worth it. That's why all first world countries with high standards of living have large governments that collect taxes, and not Somalian-style fiefdoms. So no they are not trying to keep their hard earned money, they are stealing from everyone else.
