    Today’s Boy Scouts are Bad Ass

    lmfao. Sorry dude but you're fucking retarded. Generally speaking people would consider me left of center, but in the first 10 or so years of my adult life I've probably spent over 10k on firearms, and wouldn't hesitate to use any one of them when/if a situation called for it. The day the...

    Today’s Boy Scouts are Bad Ass

    My sentiments exactly. No prob. w/ kids learning how to properly handle weapons. But imho there's quite a difference between shooting frozen milk jugs (or whatever) and essentially training a kid to shoot terrorists. Socially speaking, that's a dangerous road to follow. z0mg I said...

    Take Two Sues 3D Realms

    Sorry, but that just sounds extremely naive. From what I understand, they gave them 12 million. When Douche dude asked for 5 more they said no, but offered 30 to purchase the ip. He told them to piss off. Unless he can repay them in full, I don't see how anyone would have a problem w/...

    People Only Pirate Popular Stuff

    Yeah, I really wish more companies would do this. Most of the app's i work with cost well over 4 figures. For someone who just want's to play around &/or learn the costs can be prohibitive, & are at the least a substantial commitment. As a result, a significant amount of people in the...

    People Only Pirate Popular Stuff

    Heh, I guess i must have seriously mis-read your post. If that's the case.... "bust teeth" -- just assume this is what I would like to do to someone who feels my work is worth stealing, yet not work paying for (or more likely simply asking permission). Simply an expression of how much it...

    People Only Pirate Popular Stuff

    See, & something like this is what I'm talking about (even though I'm sure exec.'s shit themselves at the thought of it). An idea like that is a decent example of trying to get something good out of both sides of the situation. In that, people are going to do it regardless, so find a way to...

    People Only Pirate Popular Stuff

    Hmm, asking a stupid question for the sake of starting a side-argument.......there's a 5 letter word some use to refer to that. What am I for? Get specific much? I can only assume you must be one of those black/white people who thinks everyone MUST either think "yay, pirating's great lets...

    People Only Pirate Popular Stuff

    True, but how many pirates do you know that call up the original artist and say "hey, what's your paypal, i got 20bucks for you?" I don't think pirating is nearly as big a problem as it's made out to be. But I do have a problem with the attitude that ip = free for all is totally moral. I...

    Google Street View Has to Reshoot in Japan

    Good for you. But you're not complaining are you? My point was that just because your service is 'free' does not mean you can do whatever you want with impunity. Some impoverished young man washed my windshield the other day without asking me, resulting in it being free. The lack of cost...

    Google Street View Has to Reshoot in Japan

    Sure it's a free service.........that nobody asked for. If you're going to insist on taking photo's of the whole damn world you're going to have to be discreet, & have lots of different sensibilities from different cultures to avoid offending. Our american "you don't like it GFY" doesn't work...

    Google Street View Has to Reshoot in Japan

    Well, If the photo's were picking up 'PRIVATE' property, due to essentially looking over your fence, they have every right to complain about it. I would too, fences are there for a reason. Don't see how that = 'give up on these people'.

    Pirated Windows 7 Builds Botnet with Trojan

    Do you understand what you're saying? Lawful / unlawful is not subjective to your personal moral perspective. You need to read the definition.........a few times...........and think very, very hard. BTW, I agree. Wut U smokin? Can you send me some plz?

    Pirated Windows 7 Builds Botnet with Trojan

    "illegal" is part of the definition of what "murder" is. Kill =/= murder in this context.

    Pirated Windows 7 Builds Botnet with Trojan

    This. At worst they could try to file a civil case against you, but there's absolutely nothing criminal about ignoring / breaking an eula. Only exception would be of course if something in the eula you broke actually is illegal, however that doesn't really have anything to do w/ the eula itself.

    Steve Jobs Hates This House

    I don't disagree that he SHOULD be able to do what he wants. But that is not the reality, nobody ever said it was fair. If he knew full well what the circumstances were before he made the purchase, and then did it anyway......then no, he does not have room to whine about it. Would you...

    Five Controversial Ways to Speed Your PC

    I don't know about doing it to customers comp's. But for me a format / reinstall is not a big deal. Obviously, just keep all your working files / custom config.'s on a separate drive (at least, yeah, backup your stuff). If my system takes a dump for whatever reason I can simply wipe &...

    Maybe you forgot a /sarcasm..? Pirate+free doesn't make any sense. Unless of course you're assuming that torrent = pirate regardless of content.

    Yeah somehow I couldn't shake the possibility of that when I decided to try it. Glad I went w/ the DD from msft instead.

    Steve Jobs Hates This House

    Well, considering the state supreme court supposedly denied his request to tear it down at least once, I'm not sure how the jokes on them. It's not the historical society itself that is directly responsible for the legal shenanigans. It's local ordinances & crap that defines what is/isn't...

    Steve Jobs Hates This House

    No doubt, but it's the same sort of situation, which is the point i was illustrating. Doesn't change the fact that he's a dumbass for thinking said circumstances somehow wouldn't apply to him. All of these circumstances would most certainly have been made perfectly clear to him considering he...

    Steve Jobs Hates This House

    If i recall correctly (been a while since I read the article) he bought the house FROM the historical society, and there were obvious implied restrictions given the home had obviously been deemed "historical" previous to his purchase. Don't get me wrong, I think it sucks too, but the bottom...

    Duke Nukem Developer Closes Its Doors

    In their defense, they weren't spending 12 years on the sole task of trying to make some screenshots look 12 years worth of badass. They spent 12 years making change after change, each of which rendering much previously completed work obsolete (& hence has to be redone). I'm sure a few of the...

    Duke Nukem Developer Closes Its Doors

    Don't think there's anything overly complicated about the game. The inflated production time is simply due to bad management. Producing a game can be a pretty linear production pipeline, which does not fair well to "changes on the fly" in the middle of productions. Put yourself a manager that...

    Celebrities Sell Games Better Than Game Reviewers?

    Eh, I think the guy's just full of shit. Sure, slapping a celeb. on something will help the sales w/ just about ANYTHING. But when the first games that come to my mind when I think recent "blockbuster", I don't recall any big celebs endorsements slapped on them: Assasins Creed Gears of War...

    Yeah, there's no need to protect girls as young as their early teens that get brainwashed and whored out across the country by some pimp. Even if their pimp gets caught and tossed in jail, after a few years of that, those kids are screwed for life. Adult man & woman want to make some...

    Prosecutors Seeking Prison Time In MySpace Case

    90 days only for the harrasment itself. But the act of internet harassement is deemed illegal, add to it that in this case that act resulted in someones death, then you have manslaughter. The question is wether or not you consider the minor mentally fit (for lack of a better term) enough to be...

    You Are All Tax Cheats

    And what do you think your militia is? It's a "social" group. Who paid for your guns? Yeah, you pay for them yourselves. Could think of that money as your tax for you militia. One way or another you end up forming a "social" group....and "society". In order to be able to effectively defend...

    Well, don't get me wrong, one way or another someone needs to flog the hell outta this wench. But, it all comes down to wether or not her behavior was breaking the law. Just going by my own moral compass I don't see any problem at all w/ throwing 3 years at her. She's a damn 40 y/o woman...
