  1. Re:Censorship is the last resort of a failing regi on Iran Blocks, Unblocks Access to Google · · Score: 1

    Isn't that really Stalins fault? I mean he did basically order the Red army to sit outside Warsaw while the Germans killed the resistance. He was just pissed about us helping the Polish resistance in the 1st place, not to mention the fact he wanted the polish Resistance dead. He gave orders that allied air craft dropping supplies in Warsaw be shot at.

  2. Re:What Intel's gonna do on Intel Purchases Havok · · Score: 3, Informative

    Implementation is up to the actual developer, bungie didn't want realistic physics. They wanted "fun" physics.

  3. Re:When Danny sneaks up on an enemy on The Differences Between the AO and M Versions of Manhunt 2 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I betting that is why Reggie was actively courting manhunt 2 to improve the library of mature titles on the system.

  4. Re:They do more harm than good on What Are the Advantages/Disadvantages of Game Schools? · · Score: 1

    Why in gods name would you have gaming capable PCs/consoles around campus? That is like a bloody Siren song. Sure its a good way to weed out the weak willed but still?

  5. Re:Spin Translation: on Defending Sony Against the Church Of England · · Score: 1

    Ian Bogost isn't a PR guy..

    He is a prof a Ga Tech and he helped found Persuasive Games. He is actually a rather interesting fellow.

  6. Re:correct me if I'm wrong on Radiation Absorbing Mineral Found In the Arctic · · Score: 1

    I think they mean that the water used as coolant could have the radiation removed, so even if the shit hits the fan, and the coolant water gets turned to steam, its not radioactive steam.

    3 mile island could have been even less of a problem.

    Wow.... I'm impressed, you made that jump from stem cell research to the war for oil was one of the smoothest I have ever seen during my time on slashdot. /Bow

  10. Re:Disappointed with E3 Screenshots on Halo 3 Almost Done · · Score: 1

    Killzone looked nice at e3 but that about all I saw. It made way to many quick cuts for me to get a feeling of what the graphics looked like in game. The cut scenes looked good, but I'm not really sure I like the general art direction. As with many of the super real graphics... they looked bland, dark, and brown. Though hellgast on the other hand looked rather good graphically and art wise.

    Halo 3, at least grabbed my interest with the trailer and some of the things it hints at. Though I don't really have high hopes.

  11. Re:Hasn't really been discussed on Halo 3 Almost Done · · Score: 1

    They aren't making halo wars though...

    I'm guessing something with pirates.

  12. Re:the first step on Eve Online's New Chief Economist · · Score: 1

    There are several ships that are the only one in existence. 1 of them has changed hands via sales and theft repeatedly. It currently resides in the hands of a ship collector. There are a few ships that no longer exist because people destroyed them.

    The devs also have don't use standard equipment to my knowledge. All their ships belong to one faction and would take database editing for someone to be able to use.

  13. Re:of course on Failing Our Geniuses · · Score: 1

    If the current system of punishment is anything like it was 5 years ago.. if the "smarter" group is a very small minority at a school they stand to take alot of shit over being in the "smarter" classes. With the current zero tolerance crap something tells me you will have children trying to get themselves put back into the "normal" classes just to end the crap that they get for being segregated from the other students.

  16. Re:Nice try, but... on Winnie Wrote a Math Book · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Less and less often does clothing have any bearing on someones work ethic. The last time the clothing was washed is a better indicator.

    I've met goths with tats and piercings who are the most affable and pleasant people. I've met pressed, tucked, combed frat boys who leave me with the urge to burn down frat row, and for good measure every sorority to.

    Clothing and looks in general don't tell you much. Attitudes and other things you mentioned do.

  17. Re:Fuck the ESRB. on ESRB Responds to 3D Realms' Kvetching · · Score: 1

    The system is damn good.

    The retailers and the big 3 need to let AO games on their systems, or find a middle ground possibly creating a new rating that doesn't have th pornographic connotations of the AO.

    Outside of slashdot?

    Go look at a game developers site. Look at the job listings, I'm willing to bet about half the time they will use the terms AA,AAA,or AAAA.

    Listen asshole, for the last time, THAT WAS NOT A .50 cal sniper rifle. That was a .30 cal m1919, and just because you couldn't see the black helicopter doesn't mean I couldn't, mark my words, one day I'm gonna shoot that fucker down, then you see. THEN YOU WILL ALL SEE!

    There is no moral quandary, if you have the means, you obviously will commit a crime.

    Where is the rock you have been living under, are there any good ones near by that I can move too? Cause something tells me its a hell of a lot more pleasant under there.

    Yeah, it basically saves a script of what happened. Each time you watch its acted out in the engine.

    Movies files at hi rez would be killer size wise.
