What's right for one person is not right for another? Is milk good for you? I bet if you search for that you'll find research going both ways... We're all... Snowflakes... There was a guy in New York who lived to be over 100 living on Thunderbird Wine and Bread fried in fat back. When asked why he doesn't fry his bread in bacon he said because it was too lean. Here was a guy who knew exactly what his body needed and lived to be a ripe old age. If he'd of gone to a doctor they'd of told him to eat some vegetables and he'd of been dead in a week...
I dunno where you're from, but here in America, Congress creates law, the Executive branch enforces it, and the Judicial branch interprets it. Checks and balances.
Thank you! This is the way it's set up and it was set up this way for this very reason. That laws will be checked and rechecked and debated and not just passed and left. If the enforcers think it's needed they can fight for it, but the interpreters can say no to the rule makers next rule. The first check is the people, but not enough people take the time to get involved with the process more than complain about it.
And here's something I was wondering? How is a company to get experience at doing something until they do it. It's that vicious cycle we see when applying for jobs for the first time. They won't hire you because you don't have experience but you can't get experience because they won't hire you.
I say try something new! Google has got the the bank to try something risky and "unsexy" and if it fails, move on knowing that it's core is still making money enough for their private landing strip...
Over time the children grew to treat the robot as one of them -- playing games with the robot, hugging it, and covering it up with a blanket when its batteries ran down."
Some researcher said sex with robots in the next 20 years right? Might as well start em early...
If it's marked that only 17+ can buy and should play it because of stated reasons (I believe that's the target for M rated games). Unless it's just sitting and collecting dust what good reason does a company have for pulling it off their shelves.
These are the same people who sell the "Unrated" version of movies to teenagers without a second thought but because video games are the hot button for "Think of the children" THAT'S what gets attention.
We're not mocking his right to use it, we're mocking the words that come out of his mouth during his use of it. Where's our first amendment right to mock idiots?
If this was to be considered a real debate, the audience has to keep in mind that you bring in two opposing views. When you automatically rally the troops with "He's Crazy!" while he brings a calm pointed case it will only weaken yours. By the Crowd being disrespectful we lost a lot of credibility as a community. I'm fine with you saying whatever you want to whomever you want, but, in that forum there are rules of engagement.
I'm saying for the amount of love we give that right in particular, we are the first to mock another's right to freely use it. We (like the crowd) use it as a shield to scorn others, but all in all the crowds reaction was one of mocking rather than voicing their concerns and frustrations in a calm rational way.
I say the better plan for that debate would be to ask him questions to which we know he'll give answers that contradict his case. From the sounds of it, he won this debate hands down against both Lanning and the crowd.
They weren't there for intelligent discourse, they wanted their shot at telling Thompson he was a jackass. It's particularly regrettable because the people asking questions usually had good points to make, but the way they chose to make them was mocking and disrespectful.
How can we want the first amendment and claim it protects every jackass if we're going to turnaround and blast him first his ability to use it. I don't agree with the man, but someone has to be the thorn. Hate what he says, but give him his ability to say it and then come back at him a reasonably sound argument. When we act like loons we only make him look sane
Come on people, if there is a lock on the door and you know the people with the key to the room the chances for needing a slashvertisment like that decrease and knowing who has physical access to your servers increase...
Of a game ahead of it's time. Now we're accepting of sleeping with hookers, running them over, and taking our money back in games. But in the early days of Nintendo they seem to of had pretty tight Standards & Practices to get a cartridge licensed.
But times have changed and now you can strangle people with a choking acting thanks to them!
But what happens when the Red Skull comes looking for our super solider formula? Will We wind-up taking the only survivor of the program out with a sniper when he goes against government wishes to comply with registration too...
Anything where you have better chances of being killed driving to get the damn thing than winning isn't worth the money...
Chance of dying from a car accident: 1 in 18,585
Game play experience may change once game is online. I always laughed seeing that in games like Animal Crossing. But, MODs could be seen under that blanket warning. Once a game is live and online there's always going to be some odd way to view it... Ever been T-Bagged in a Halo match or downloaded a new item skin for Elder Scrolls?
Won't this damage a lot of adSense technology already in place by non-evil companies? Also, would this apply to browsers keeping history of where you've been?
not to whoever will kill the project with close sourced software. Perhaps this means they plan to open the source code for WinXP! That way they can claim the "community will support it" and they'll focus on Vista/Longhorn
I've watched the cut scenes in the halo games and they move the story along fine. I mean, we've all seen how well the Final Fantasy movies have done in the US but, Advent Children is probably the best Video Game movie I've seen in my entire life! The Models for M.C. exist and any Halo move that doesn't include him would just be wrong! Like a Doom movie not in space with hell spawned demons...

Chalk this up to stupidity but I always assumed it was NCSoft for both because of adverts from NCSoft portraying the two together.
I've had a CoV account a while back and stopped playing... I may have to start again if all this is more than a rumor.

How are we not suppose to give monopolies our money? In some sections that's the only option for internet. How much backbone fiber is AT&T?
That's a violation of common carrier status isn't it? To say what information can and can not travel along the lines?
