  1. Re:FFVII was *NOT* "revolutionary" on The Ten Greatest Years in Gaming · · Score: 1

    Almost everything you talk about is an opinion, in of that you are comparing two things and when you say one did it better, you mean you liked that one more. If you actually wanted to know which one did it better, you would look at the source programming and see who implemented the code better. Now, since we are firmly grounded in the world of opinion contrary to facts, I will put in my .02$. Final Fantasy Seven represented several dramatic changes. One of these, the emergence of Square as a serious contender onto the playstation platform is still felt to this day. Speaking about the game itself though, ffvii is really the first time that a company like square was able to tell the story they desired to without losing any of its power. ffvii was able to reach out to audiences across the market and grab there interest and attention. Its the reason they were even able to sell *games* like ffix; it was such a strong, artfully done game that it created a foundation for all future acts of square to be judged by.

  2. Viable Solution on Net Neutrality, Schlocky Salesmen vs Monopolist Plumbers · · Score: 1

    To cite a possible solution from wikipeida, Enough and as Good -- if operators prioritize bandwidth, they must leave enough and as good bandwidth to permit non-prioritized services to reach consumers. Now, i may be an uneducated surf, but I see that as the most intelligent route to take. Pass legislation that lays down a minimum requirement, and then let whoever wants to pay more $ for more bandwith splurge to their heart's content.

  3. and if there wasn't network neutrality on Net Neutrality, Schlocky Salesmen vs Monopolist Plumbers · · Score: 1

    we would have a whole, additional set of headaches as detailed by the article. Imagine how fast costs for bandwith would rise when the competition isnt about quality of material, but merely a war on aquiring high speeds. Whereas network neutrality in its current state is certainly open to corruption from political sources and large companies, read microsoft, google, that doesn't mean the idea should be disbanded completely. Personally, I have no desire to pay a dollar for every video clip I pirate, er download.
