  1. Hmm on History of MECC and Oregon Trail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about other games like bit-bots math games or.. oh you had a little red hat and you ran around a factory looking for vehicle parts and doing different science related problems to get through doors... forgot the name. Dinosaur Tycoon and a whole bunch of others that they had on the macs and the PCs.

    Yeah I remember some of the kids would always ask me how I managed to finish the game, My response was always "I didn't waste all my money on bullets.

    Usually when someone replies to your post they are asking you a question right? That is the whole point of the threading system isn't?

    Troll? I honestly don't pay that much attention to macs. I don't own any and I don't really have a reason to own one. I use them for math lab at school sometimes during my calculus classes. Jesus...

    Well it was a mild rewrite of how the complaints department of the Sirius robotics cybernetics division were a bunch of jerks who should be the first ones against the wall when the revolution comes and then a freak accident involving a encyclopedia galatica fell back in time proving the were... oh fuck it Im not in the mood to go look it all up again.

  9. Re:Best Online FPS On Any Console Ever on Church Threatens Legal Action Over Sony Game · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    sigh, there are games with dedicated servers on the 360. I hate to break it to you sony fuckers but its purely based on developer choice and a publishers willingness to provide them or allow players to host them. Then again people scream there fools heads off before release claiming that its going to allow some people to rig the game and that the stats will be a fraud despite the fact they don't have a clue in hell what they are talking about.

    Before someone accuses me of sony hate or being a 360 fanboy I hold the same contempt for xbox 360 fanboys who claim that dedicated servers are somehow inferior to client servers. They have there places, not every game needs dedicated servers however.

    Antec offers nice simple cases and gaudy ones. My current case is rolled steel and aluminum. Simple and clean. Not a beige box, but it doesn't have landing lights either.

  13. Re:The American Christian Amish? on A Field Trip To the Creation Museum · · Score: 1

    I rather like some of the Amish that I have met. Honest Humble and good natured folks for the most part. These fundies won't go the way of the Amish though. The Amish are very much content to live semi isolated from the rest of the world. They don't want to force there beliefs down others throats. They don't care if the world is different from them. Fundies from every corner will eventually try to tear down civilization as we know it to make everyone believe what they believe. Once they are done they will turn on each other. That is the shit that scares me.

  22. Re:Cyber Bullying... on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 1

    Please don't take that as "Kids should handle it themselves"

    What Im trying to say with that is, kids should be taught to be self reliant. Yes, authority does need to change the way bullying is handled, but authority isn't alway present, just like the police isn't always there. Ignoring a threat/ head in the sand/ letting them do what they want can be just as dangerous as trying to stop everything yourself. Its all about judgment and using it.

  23. Re:Cyber Bullying... on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Where I came from waiting for the parents to get involved got the victim in suspension then got him beat up again the day he got out.

    Where I came from waiting for the adults to get involved got someones face smashed into a locker. It's not cheap to replace teeth sometimes.

    That was only in middle school.

    After a while you start to realize that you get the same punishment for fighting back that you got for being a punching bag.

    Then again this was a predominantly white middle class suburban area. Parents don't give a fuck till there little angel is in trouble, then they get involved just long enough to scream how their angel wouldn't do a thing.

  24. Cyber Bullying... on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 1

    So.. how do you stop them? Block all IM software? Block all social networking sites? Do they have a fucking rational explanation at all?

    How do you stop a cyber bully? Escalate it. When they start a fight with you, they rely on the fact that you won't fight back. Push them past the point where they are comfortable, they will back down very quickly.

    Jackie Boy said he wasn't afraid a of a hostile crowd, he says he been in front of bigger "hostile" crowds and that this one didn't phase him in the least. He doesn't give a fuck about a fair debate, hence why he never accepts debates that might have a level ground either.
