    You obviously don't understand Debian.

    It usually takes years for Debian stable to see the latest and greatest of today. This is why most normal people use unstable and people wanting a server use stable. Testing is right out.

    If that still confuses you, then please switch to Ubuntu.

  2. Re:Intel? on AMD Demonstrates "Teraflop In a Box" · · Score: 1

    Funny, I have a laptop with an AMD Turion CPU. Unless Intel and Nvidia actually team up or Intel buys Nvidia, then there's nothing to really show in the Intel camp. AMD has an advantage here, but only so long as Intel keeps making joke graphics chipsets.

    So, fanboyism? I don't think so. I just don't care to rtfa

    Say what you want about intel graphics chipsets, but they make those too.

    Unfortunately, in order to really prove that there was a global flood, you would need to produce the Mexicans that built the Arc. Until then, it's just a story in a book.

    As to proving the existence of a god, in whatever form you want, that's an exercise best left to the reader.

    Yet they do not know that the ninja has the pirate's back this time. How could they, since ninja don't exist.

    I don't think the Korean War ever actually ended, but I do believe the draft did due to a little conflict called Vietnam. You might have heard about it. Now we just send people who want to see the far east.

    Thank you for clarifying what I meant by free. So long as there is an appearance of competition, all the cell providers need to do is point at the other companies and say "See, we still have competition" when in reality they are in cahoots.

    Does that help?

    Yes.

    Welcome to the "free" market.

    - and I could never go back to an analogue stick for that, but shaking the nunchuck for the spin attack, or shoving it for the shield charge, that doesn't quite work.

    Doesn't quite work? In OoT, I never bothered with the spin attack because I couldn't integrate it into my normal attack. Shaking the nunchuck lets me do that.

    And, yes, I have played the gamecube version of Twilight Princess, and I have to say that I could never go back to a button interface for that.
  15. Re:Bethesda's past on From Football to Fantasy - Bethesda's Long Journey · · Score: 1

    Bethesda has always made it a point to ship buggy, incomplete games. It is only now that they can add in components after release for money. When the game manual has vast omissions and tells the player to save often, you know you've bought a buggy product.

    In other words, a pledge is a promise to make a potential victim feel good about being shot in the face.

    I get modded flamebait, and I'm actually a nintendo fan. I've simply found that I dislike, with a few rare exceptions, every other Zelda title. Oh well, such is life.

    The next zelda will be an interactive cartoon that will stop periodically to have the "viewer" conduct fun little kids' songs with the WiiMote. At least, given Nintendo's history with the zelda series, that's my guess.

    If all the politicians in the world were to keep there mouths shut, global warming wouldn't exist. Since government is the direct cause of global warming, I submit to you that human activity is, indeed, the main cause.

    So, Bill is Borg? I personally won't be satisfied until I see gundams and skynet realized. Skynet using gundams would be even better though.
