  5. I don't see the point of the A4 size. on A Deep-Dive Look At Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 · · Score: 1

    The reason why i got the first Samsung Tab was because it was basically a large PDA that i can fit inside my jacket.

    The size is a good compromise, Its even suitable to watch movies on it, I've gone through every episode of DS9 on it(youtube ssshh).

    Now I just need a head mounted display(with camera for AR) and frogpad AND ITS GARGOYLE CITY BABY!

    What makes you think you'd be in high enough altitude to make parachutes effective in the first place?

  7. Re:PLEASE KEEP ME STABLE AND HORIZONTAL! on Australian-Built Hoverbike Prepares For Takeoff · · Score: 1

    All the fine tuning in the world is not gonna help, the moment this thing gains some momentum not even Ace Rimmer could keep this from spinning out of control.

    I was thinking; "Surely, he must have some kind of computer between the stick and the engines."

    Not a fucking word.

    Unless someone can make this thing stabilize on its own in mid-air, its not worth a dime.

  11. Re:Easy question on A Plea For Game Devs To Aim Higher · · Score: 2

    Thats the jist of it, but there is a reason why the budgets are so bloated, its because they think a game wont sell unless it includes a full feature Hollywood piece.
    Its been detrimental to gameplay, because they dont trust in niches and genres to bring multi million sales, Its all about accessibility's now, homogeneous soup to tap into every possible market and they try to make it up with cinematic content.

  15. Re:Larry Sanger is anti-intellectual on Is There a New Geek Anti-Intellectualism? · · Score: 1

    As one that belives diversity is important in any context, society or otherwise...I still belive there must be rigour.

    How do you think the anti-vacine crowd got so popular?

    (maybe a bit more ridiculus example)
    What do you think happened in Europe when the bible was handed to laymen without the theologians.(as much as the Chatolic church was repulsive at the time the varius sects that popped up burning jews were way worse)

    Those are examples on mass information backfirering.

  16. Re:Question on Is There a New Geek Anti-Intellectualism? · · Score: 1

    Some words from a philosopher friend of mine.

    "If we didint teach you how to apply logic you would be using all that empirical data to club dinosaurs with"

    Im not a philosopher myself, attleast im not book learned about the subject, just bits and pieces of abridged knowledge.

    But don't take for granted the last 300 years of philosophy....you want to have to deal with Platon and his metaphysics?

    Its also smacks of hubris, to think "yeah, they gave us the scientific methodology now their useless".....I can't predict the future...but...100 years..200...years...a thousand....who knows....maybe there still is flaws in the way we apply empiricy.

    That said...IANAP

  17. Re:Question on Is There a New Geek Anti-Intellectualism? · · Score: 1

    But intellectualism isn't about memorizing stuff, its how you analyse the things you know then apply logic against the unknown.

    "Yes hun. And I am disputing that. Even with a lot of state run enterprises, so long as there is a stock market and private property in the means of production we have a market economy guided by the profit motive, otherwise we have a planned socialistic economy."
    You do realise all you have been doing here is going "nuhu", then pushing a "road to serfdom" mentality?

    You call me unequiped? You're the one that seemingly only have read Marx and ignore the fact that most socialists today does not use him as a gospel.
    Ideology is not fucking math, that you lack imagination and the ability to read qualitatively does not mean the world works according to your axiomatic bullshit.

    "Another one of those insights that you can reach by sitting in a corner and thinking: if a company, which has the monetary incentive to, does not have the perfect information as to which is the best safety protocol..."

    Wow, never brought up the problem of information, but cudos of yourself for reminding you of it, it is however...not a problem for large multinational businesses, you think...they had no idea how to increase safety margins?
    I'd call you an idiot, but I think this is more a case of denial.

    Other then that...thanks for the out of nowhere strawman....but faith is reserved for those with a single doctrine.

    No, i have no illusions that goverment will fix everything, it just have to drive a nail in something in the social economy when its proper, freedom limiting? Yes...but unlike you I still belive individuals retain enough freedom, ingenuity and will to survive taxes and regulation, an economy allways grows, now it will grow for/with everyone.

  21. Re:Wow on Checkpoint of the Future Coming Soon To Airports · · Score: 1

    Except, instead of a bolt piston at the end of the line we get an energy directed explosion.

    The reason for the tunnels last time i read about it was to protect passengers from exploding bombs, and the visualisation i saw was long arched plexiglass corridors.

    Depending of course how long these tunnels will be, a bomb will be much more deadly then exploding in an open air enviroment.

    I can't speak for ThunderBird but i feel slightly insulted when i get modded insightful/informative every time i try to be funny.

  25. Mods on Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3 Launch Dates Announced · · Score: 1

    If battlefield 3 does not deliver tools for modders, Im not interested.

    The battlefield series was more then a game, it was a platform!

    As soon as Forgotten hope 2 appeared is stopped playing vanilla BF2 altogether.

    Its madness to cut the ability to produce free content for your product, but i guess EA/DICE isnt looking for a solid game with longevity anymore.

    Why not call it Battlefield 2011(+n) and be done with it.
