    I agreed with everything you said, except the 50-60 dollar video games.

    If I could find them cheaper I would go that route, but I guess I'm still a sucker for blockbuster titles :(

    killzone doesn't look better than modern warfare 2. and that game is on both platforms.

    as soon as one of them ran after a baseball or was in an automobile while the other was not, their ages changed.

    this event probably had the biggest impact on their age differentiation, but it had already occurred a long time ago.

    Please don't take this as anything but a strategic business move.
    If it was in Red Hat's interest to ignore patents, they absolutely would.

    I bet we are both wrong.

    Just like all things computer-related, there is no magic bullet answer.

    Now I believe there is a rudimentary blacklist that immediately cuts out improper results, but then additionally performs a 'SafeSearch' pass on your data. (you can almost tell it is calculating something, because the 'Click Enter to Search' is delayed, indicating it is doing something)

  8. Re:From the article on Seven Words You Can't Say On Google Instant · · Score: 1

    Yea I dunno, I just don't believe there is a black list. There are too many issues associated with white/black lists.

    Try changing your safesearch settings to High and compare the search results, even though the sites look benign, there might have some racist comments or something that prevents it from showing up.

    'Hate' is a pretty strong word that will return tons of crazy results.

    The results are going to disappear if the bulk of the returned links are Adult-Oriented, it has nothing to do with the Keywords you type.
    There is no magical 'banned list'.
    They probably use the same metrics as their 'SafeSearch' algorithm.

    Although most of the good points have been made, I just wanted to zing you for this:

    customers are tired of paying for hardware that actively works against their interests

    You make it sound like my giant HDTV is a net-negative. Although I'd rather not worry about 'secure links', my TV is still a net-positive. It isn't 'working against my interests', and honestly, I don't think I have a piece of hardware in my house that won't provide a secure link. I don't even know what is being broken by this DRM. So, yes, I am happy to pay for this TV again if need-be.

    For that matter, the GP should re-read it 18 times.
    Because you really don't "get it" until you reach the 18th time.
    Go ahead, prove me wrong.

    And afterwards you should read the entire bible backwards 15 times.

    Otherwise it'll be a sticky few decades ahead of us.

    But that is not what happens in real life..

    Take African Honeys Bees for example. They have to fight so many tough predators in their home environment, that when you introduce them to a bunch of pussy predators in South America, they DOMINATE the landscape.

    I'd hate to see how badass a bacteria must be that survived on Mars and in deep space.

  16. Re:Is he bloody stupid? on Tensions Rise Between Gamers and Game Companies Over DRM · · Score: 1

    I don't play PC games any longer. I much prefer the console.

    Cheating has gotten out of hand, the constant expensive upgrades, and lack of a uniform hardware/playability have pushed me out the door long before DRM ever had the chance. I still prefer the mouse in first person shooters in terms of accuracy, but i'll give up some accuracy to enjoy a better overall experience.

    Probably offtopic, but I just wanted to say that.
