  1. Re:Never going to happen on Is Simplified Spelling Worth Reform? · · Score: 1

    Basic Kanji help wonders with verbs. I'm quite pro-simplified Kanji; minimize kanji pairs/sets, keep usage to verb beginnings and core nouns. It helps the understanding, if not pronounciation of a sentence, especially against the hiragana particles.

  2. Re:Memory leaks? on Q&A with Firefox's Blake Ross · · Score: 1

    I'm currently dropping in at 173mb of memory usage... however, this is acceptable due to my 1 gig of RAM and my very tasty set of extensions (some lightweight developer tools, FoxyTunes, All-in-One gestures, Tab Mix Plus, Adblock Plus, and several others...)

    My theshold is at 0. Read everything but GNAA crap, and then draw own conclusion.

    Same. I thought it was some bizarre recycling initiative for outdated consumer electronics for underfunded scientists.

    You're trying to suppress research and study to PREVENT Orwellian circumstances?!
    Good lord man, you're already too far gone.
    It's better that EVERYONE knows the psychological effect so they can conciously choose to overcome it.

  9. Re:Horror, Genre pleasure, the Unknown on Being Scared in Games is Needed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I see it as a metaphor for the collapse of Communism - always trying to build up, order bringing destruction, and disorder bringing uncontrolled expansion, leading to GAME OVER.

    Guns are not a fundamental right. Not in my country, anyway.

  13. Re:Yes on Do MMORPG's Cause People to Buy Fewer Games at Retail? · · Score: 1

    I'd just like to mention Metroid Prime Hunters, on the DS, as the closest experience to WASD/Mouse. D-Pad/Stylus gives me all the control and accuracy I need.
    Standard game controllers do have dual analogue now, but it's just not as intuitive as WASD/Mouse.
    What's your opinion on the Wiimote, as an FPS player?

  15. Re:All right kids... on Netscape.com Loses Its Identity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's called sane, normal use of frames - to split content over two websites. Using frames as a LAYOUT tool is a disasterous step in the wrong direction. Using frames to trap users is just plain evil.

  16. Re:Not Politically Correct on Over 12,000 black Nintendo DS Lite Systems Stolen · · Score: 2, Funny

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_(people)

    As far as I know, "black" is fine as long as you mumble it, and don't say it in an aggresive tone.
    African-American is hardly used, and terms like negro are just a no-go area. Generally, if you know their precise race, it's easier and politer just to say that - African, Jamaican, or whatever.

    Political Correctness is fussy and awkward and depends on the person. With my friend Alex, he gets wound up if I call him black, but "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, nigga?" is funny... odd fellow.

    Some other pages from that "Black Helicopter" compo show up some other mysterious black boxes. Mostly it's just military sites seen from above.

    Google Earth isn't a live feed. It's assembled from numerous photos of varying age and quality. Next time a satelite takes a snap, they'll update it. It's not like they're trying to keep it secret, unlike some of the other mysterious black boxes on Google Earth.

  20. Re:The real Classics on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1

    I'm 18 here - until I learned video game history proper, I thought the classics were Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog!
    Now I respect my heritage. Pong, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong and Pacman. Super Mario Bros., Paper Boy, Gradius...

    I'm sad that I missed the true classics, but I certainly don't regret my collection of emulators!
