  1. Re:Not Evil on Google Protects Healthcare From Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    So, the FDA has never approved a drug that's killed anyone? Boy i'm glad they are there.

    I'm not saying that faith-healers are a good thing, they aren't, but I wouldn't count the FDA as the be-all end-all.

    all i have to say is, give me one reason why any child, regardless of what economic status they come from, shouldn't be able to get medical care.

    LIES. This court has a higher percentage of 5-4 decisions in the past 10 months than have been ruled in the past couple of decades. Sheesh, don't just call bullshit, do some research. This is one of the points usually covered in the news reports about the last 6 decisions that have all been ruled 5-4.

    Well, as long as the developer has their hearthstone going, the bubble collapse should not affect them.

  4. A little PR speak... on News of Spore Delay Miscommunication · · Score: 1

    You don't push a release from "2008 to 2009". Wow, that looks bad. Say, instead, December 2008 to early 2009. (since you were "aiming" for december anyway).
    A whole year? Sheesh. Please don't bring up Spore again until Bush is out of the whitehouse please.

  6. Re:My wife thinks I'm a pussy. on Your Lord of the Rings Online Questions Answered · · Score: 1

    Ha! I tried this during the beta phase, and I rolled a minstrel also (because of the unique play mechanics), my wife said the exact same thing.. along with "doesn't that little tune get annoying every time you cast it?"
    "so, you are attacking with... music?"
    "Your bright red pants and pointy hat... Gay."

  7. Re:Request on Guitar Hero III, 80s Tracks Announced · · Score: 1

    That, or at the very least make the guitar silent, nothing like hearing the song + missed notes + *click* *clack* *click* *clack* as they button mash and strum. Real guitars don't click!!!!

    How would that be condusive to "playing the game"? Users need feedback from the game, or else they'll just get frustrated and say "see! It's not even picking up my strumming!" Would you rather the DDR5extremerushrevolution version of a huge "MISSED" popping up and taking up 76% of the screen? For the last time, it's a video game, meant to be a video game, not playing the guitar. Anyone who wants to play the guitar can, this game is meant to mimic the fun of playing guitar, without the years of practice. Just like FPS are the fun of running and gunning with no real training, Building RTS bases with no knowledge of military strategy, and doing outlandish things that you can't do in real life (like playing the guitar with no practice).
  8. Re:Isn't this a good thing? on Intel Laptop Competes With One Laptop Per Child · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You forgot one
    Intel joins the fray, OLPC can no longer get enough countries to sign on for the project (due to worries about the new intel machine), making the mass production price of $100 unattainable, OLPC drops out when they run out of money.

    Intel, in using Windows and their massive R&D team finally concludes that $100 is too cheap, and decides it's not worth it to their "stockholders" to continue the project, and they drop out also. Everyone loses.

  10. Re:Gamespot review: 5/10 on Halo 3 Beta Impressions · · Score: 1

    The single player consists of no AI, no objectives, and is played on the same maps as the multiplayer levels. While some fun can be had running around in circles, we find it hard to justify the purchase price compared to games that offer hours of interaction and direction.

    Uh. I think the joke is lost on you. Get it, He's running around the Multi-player levels alone? Funny? No.
    This is what counts as game jounalism?

    Ha! I love /. If this were windows, the tags would be "defectivebydesign, haha", and everyone would be making fun, and parent would NOT be modded "informative". Modding parent informative is silly, because everyone on /. knows "technology breaks when it gets old".

  13. Re:Been there, done that on Student Arrested for Writing Essay · · Score: 1

    It was first comics ("omg, Batman and Robin are teaching children to be homosexual and antisocial"),

    It started earlier than that, with people writing books about how "Stories to drive you MAD!" will destroy your children. This is a comic that came out years earlier, and was later turned into Mad Magazine.

    So, if we can make certain aspects of PS3 open to the independent game development community, we will do our industry a service by providing opportunities for the next generation of creative and technical talent. Now having said all that, we still have to protect the investment and intellectual property rights of the industry so we will always seek the best ways to secure and protect our devices from piracy and unauthorized hacking that damages the business.

    Translation: Abandon hope, all ye (independant developers) who enter here!

    ..money is taxed at every step where it changes hands?

    Yes, but we are not exchanging money in MMO's. If I create electrical blueprints for an architecture company, and then send those off, that doesn't get taxed, right? The money I make to do such a service does, but not every time I provide the blueprints. This is just silly.
