I know this might be cliche, but statistically you're more likely to kill yourself driving your own car too, but we still drive our cars.
So I don't think that statistic is very fair.
Well according to how fast this bloody Half-Life film just broke the YouTube World record for Top Rated video of all time in 2 days and 750000 views, I think that test might be skewed.
But who knows maybe it would've got more hits if they used a gravity gun in the video instead!
And can someone other than me slashdot this video please??
Hi there,
Was wonding if anyone new if this auction includes the upper half of the continent and if not will there be another auction for them crazy Canadians?
hey guys,
I was just wondering (slightly off topic sorry) where a good place to go (if there's any place for it) to go where I could hire a programmer/programmers to do a small MMORPG. Me and a few friends have been throwing around some ideas for a game and we're wondering some ball park costs to do this. We're all 3D animators so we have that end takin care of.
Is there some forum where we can show our ideas for a game and if programmers like it they'll work with you on it (for free or for pay? I'm completely ignorant as to the costs of such a huge project.)

I really don't think it matters what the drugs are for, we shouldn't care about or see any ads on TV,I really think it should be left to the professionals as the article stated. There's no reason we should go into a MD's office and ask for a perticular drug unless your a bio-chemist and know why that drug is better than the rest. Because the ads I beleive are really just trying to push people to take drugs coraberating this is the fact that NO ad i've ever seen gives scientific data on why the drug is better than others in it's field. They just show a man running in a green pasture all happy with his kids and wife.
Through the endless marketing speak about the "technologies" involved in HDTV and HD_DVD and blueray... I find myself just wanting to ignore the whole thing.
They have managed to so utterly confuse the average consumer, that people actually flock to best buy and ask the advice of the A/V *cough* "experts" over there.
HD-DVD / Bluray isn't about **ing movies, its just a high density dvd player (hopefully with more data / computer applications than the dinky junk they are going to cram onto the next hollywood trash movie).
Then we come to HDTV.... even more confusing video format that means:
A friggin resolution of 1920x1080 (I think)
some DRM
DVI/hdmi connectors (and god damn price of the cable.. lol what a joke).
The industry seems to think if they can thouroughly confuse the consumer... they can probably also convince him/her to change his/her entire Home Theatre setup.
I bet in less than a year's time, there is going to be some new HDTV surround sound requirement that will force everyone to replace their current dolby digital sound / speakers in order to truely enjoy hdtv sound.
I also have a question... this thing about 32bit vista not being able to produce true HD resolution with movies.... is that some kind of joke? My computer can already play that resolution, what gives? Is the encoding of the movie that cpu hungry?
I'm sorry.. obviously I'll be marked as a troll... but I find this so frustrating. The arsenal of buzzwords is starting to get to me. For gods sake.. can't I just use bluray to back-up my files? I don't care about movies.
I'm going to have to agree that most of the blame falls on the consumors.
It sucks that the wages there are so low, but my real problem isn't there wages. It's the fact that (and here's where the evil of corporations comes in) they get the products made for nothing, then sell them to us for a ridiculous amount. Then THEY take the profit.
I agree with lifting there economy but coporations are doing it under a guise of "oh it's really actually just boosting there economy" and what happens when thier economy has been boosted and labour is too high? they ship out operations to another country to boost there's, great help the next guy, but what happens to the last country's economy and all there jobs, down the freakin drain. and thier whole economy collapses because they were never really doing it to boost there economy; they saw a chance to make a PROFIT and they took it.
That being said, I don't claim to have all the facts which is why i'm posting so I can hear your comments in return. But let's not be dicks to each other when posting our retorts, k?

What is wrong with slashdot. Lol. They are a business last time I checked.

Your right I must be decietful. I guess you don't want to take from someone who knows..... Yea. And I found pulling a trigger much more hard.
Suicide is a horrific act. I'm sorry but a quick slice of the wrist is not painful at all, its a slow and easy death, you just pass out.
And all 8 would've used a knife had no gun being around, this is a moot point.
