  1. Re:Yawn on Upscaling Retro 8-Bit Pixel Art To Vector Graphics · · Score: 4, Informative

    Last time I checked, these filters you speak of in Zsnes and other emulators simply extrapolate the pixels without paying any special attention to shapes and colors. TFA picture looks quite a bit more advanced.

  2. Re:Rise of the triad on FPS Games That Need a Remake · · Score: 0

    Woah there, best game from the 80's? You're not getting THAT old, pal. Rise of the Triad was 1995.

  3. Not entrapment on MPAA Caught Uploading Fake Torrents · · Score: 0

    What they're doing is not entrapment. Entrapment involves getting someone to perform a crime they otherwise would not have commit.

    In this case, the individual downloading the fake torrent already had the intention to acquire a copy, illegally.

    With that said, screw you MPAA.

    "If google nuked the pagerank of someone who isn't intentionally spamming, like slashdot, we'd all have a right to be screaming bloody murder. But this makes perfect sense."

    If that happened, a Google employee would not mention it on his personal blog, now would he.

  7. Wrong on Slashback: Google, Surveillance, Stardust · · Score: 0

    "For one, on the bottom of the Chinese results they do show that the results were filtered according to local law. So, the Chiniese citizens are in fact informed that their results are being filtered indirectly by their Governement."

    ...will it be enough to send me into space?
