    Don't you mean ninjas working for pirates? Or are pirates no longer cool thanks to Disney corp.?

  2. Are the games really in colour? on Games That Defined The Virtual Boy · · Score: 1
    I was looking at the screenshots, and I get the feeling that the games were designed and created in colour, and then displayed in red. Especially with the Wario game shown. It would have been better to design them from the gound up in red, as awful as that would have been for the developers.

    Anyone get the same impression, or is it just me? I wonder if the carts contain colour sprites.

    Brix is only a measure sugar content. Although, more sugar = better taste, more nutritious, I suppose.

  7. Re:I doubt it will work... on Virtual Reality Gaming System Tests for Telepathy · · Score: 1
    Dear Bill,

    If you're 'sure' that something is going on, please feel free to create a simple experiment to demonstrate the effect. We will even name the effect after you. It will be super great. All it will cost is a little hard work and a little time and money, but the fame and fortune will be fantastic for both of us, as I would like to get in on the first floor of your intuitive powers.

    You're not, however, doing a very good job of convincing anyone else, even though you seem 'sure' of this effect. Others are very convincing at showing that this effect can be explained by other, well understood phenomenon. Why should I bother to think that you know what you're talking about?

    I eagerly await your reply, as I would like to profit from the results of your experiment.

    Your's sincerly,

    PS: Quantum mechanics is only a statistical model of the atom, and is backed up experimently. String theory is not yet, and so is not very convincing. They should not be uttered in the same sentance.

  15. Why not just have an intermediate. on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 1
    There needs to be an impartial intermediate. So if the teacher suspects something, then they can ask the intermediate to look, and the student will be sure that the intermediate won't tell everyone what they found.

    Its pretty simple, right?

  17. Re:This post is probably flamebait! on Sony Talks PS3 E-Distribution Initiative · · Score: 1
    By that logic as a Linux user how does M$'s brand of evil effect you any more than Sonys?

    Sony supports FOSS. In fact, Sony Online run open databases rather than Oracle. Much better than closed M$ products.

    For half the price you can build a pc that runs Linux far better so how is that a selling point?

    Because Sony is supporting FOSS software by embedding it on the ps3. If it wasn't for the ps3, where would OpenGl be now? And how easy will it be to release games for the PC/Gnu/Linux if there is already a 'closed' platform that runs it? Also, IBM, Sony and Toshiba have already vowed to open the cell specifications

    All of which are actively supporting others as well.

    Sure. I don't see any of these companies NOT creating games for the ps3 for its lifetime. Do you?

    And if Blueray flames out you will be upgrading your PS3 in a year.

    Do you think the formats will matter once combination players come out?

    Wow you got ripped.

    I got a lot of gaming out of my investment. I still have it and play dvd's/games on it regularly.

    Sure! I'll give you 10 good reasons!

    1. My gf doesn't like me gaming on my PC because its anti-social.

    2. I don't allow M$ anything in my house, and the sony drm thing didn't affect me as I run linux for everything!

    3. I like playing video games!

    4. I don't really like Mario.

    5. The ps3 will run linux!!

    6. Sony have good internal developers (studio liverpool etc), and will always have good 3rd party support. Namco, Squnix, EA etc have supported sony for years.

    7. I'm gonna buy HD movies for my HD TV!

    8. If I buy an x360, I will have to upgrade in 2 years time.

    9. Its really only 20% more than I paid for my ps2 initially.

    10. I've run out. Is bragging rights a good reason? Probably not.

    Granted it is a little steep. Give it a year and it will come down considerably.

  20. Why is this happening in communist china? on Smart Mob in China for Retailer Discount · · Score: 1

    I'm confused. I thought the PRC wasn't affected by free market forces like this. Can someone please explain? How is it possible that the 'retailer' is able to drop prices in order to gain market share?
