About Ninja
Not as politically engaged as I would like. I'm quite glad the Internet provided me with forms of activism and political participation while allowing me to develop my daily activities. I do believe we are going through convoluted times but I see light in the end. Other than that I'm a technology enthusiast and I'd love to spend much more money trying new stuff!

Re: Re: Re:
I've seen Sonic 4 for Xbox too and that title was one nice win if you ask me! I still got to buy it though =//
I'd consider the cost of developing a port to a new console is far less a burden than trying to develop a new game and hope to hell it sells
Final Fantasi VII. I'd sell my soul for a remake.
I'm with you, older games should be ported to newer systems.
Re: Re: Re:
That's what I meant to say. Used games are harder to find and when you do find them it's not a really good deal.
Also, thanks for that link!
Re:
That. Amusingly those AAA titles are just eye candy. I find that pretty simple games tend to offer better playability and awesome plots than any of said AAA titles. I still play snes, genesis games. Because they are that awesome despite their ugly pixelated graphics. Which brings me to a point I find relevant: they are now competing with older, OFFLINE, easily un-DRMed games. I find no real need to stick to bleeding edge titles, this vast pool of older games suits me enough.
As for the used market fears... Try to find an awesome game used. They are extremely hard to find. And honestly bad reviews will do a lot more damage than any supposed issues such market may present to the developer.

Obviously. Even if you are sure to be law abiding you'll always have that pesky doubt deep down your mind that will erode you overtime. If you know you are monitored 100% of the time in your communications are you really going to say those naughty, pornographic things to your partner? Are you going to discuss your personal dilemmas? I wouldn't. Sometime in the future because I slipped somewhere this may be scrutinized by others. Or worse, hacked and released in the wild. No, you cannot rest with a surveillance state. This alone is enough to drive people insane.

It's a bit hyperbolic
Until it becomes reality. Sadly.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Awesome joke!
It's a joke, right?
Ahem. I say the Pope would fit as the chair of a "Gay Parade Week" just as well as Chris Dodd fits this role. (Disclaimer: I support homosexual marriage. Disclaimer 2: I see the grin in your face and no, I'm not gay ;P).
Re: Re: Okay, it's BROKEN. Now how do we fix it?
The "sealing" ability would be abused as well =/
In any case how do you get rid of something in the Judicial sphere? Popular pressure? (I'm asking because the US appoints judges differently than here and I'm not familiar with the system)
Re: Re:
Have my insightful vote and my hats off.
Re: It's NOT "speculation based on nothing," it's LIES.
That. Conspiracy theories say that they knew it was coming and let it happen in order to put the current surveillance system in place. Furthermore there seem to be visual evidence that the Boston bombings were orchestrated by the Govt as well.
I'm not as quick as to swallow everything that's thrown at me but at least the Boston event has some pretty damning visual evidence that SOMETHING smells fishy.
The sad part is that the cynic in me refuses to dismiss those theories entirely.

Re: Re:
I think he haven't read the Amendment at all. Allow me to help him:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
So we have two problems here. They do not have the right to know exactly who you talk with and when you talk to that person be it some hooker or your grandma (this would require in the distant past that the police followed and spied you). And it's not particularly describing because the data was collected in bulks.
Satisfied? Go away now, please.
Re: Is this the same crystal ball?
Well, Techdirt's Cristal Ball™ seems to work better, I always know what will be the next articles. In fact I can retroactively comment on them so it must be some sort of time-traveling machine. OOTB seems frequently puzzled by it.

At least they wasted just a few millions. Obama spent a trillion saving banks and insurance companies.

Please, do not forget to use your built in UNSEE command in the EDIT menu.
Ahem.
Re: Re: Re:
I assume you know the exact number of FISA requests don't you? I mean, it is TRANSPARENT, right? My guess is that these companies received any number of FISA requests varying from 0 to infinity. Sounds transparent!
Re: Here we go again, distancing evil NSA from friendly Google.
Google is part of the NSA, a self-funding commericial front.
Marked as funny! You intended to be funny, right?
Re:
Link please!
Also, glad mom doesn't know how to use computers ;)

I'm not sure if this is enough reason to be outraged:
And since most senators presumably received a copy of the talking points roughly around the same time Techdirt did, there's really no reason to hear these delivered live, in-person.
Maybe some of those who didn't stay are really worried but they either had other appointments or they didn't expect the absence to be an issue so I don't think it was some ill-willed move by SOME of the absentees.
We need to be reasonable at this point. We must not condemn the Senators for an isolated fact.
But I do agree with this:
This was a missed opportunity for those who left town before the briefing. Reps from nearly every entity currently under fire had been gathered in one room solely to address interested senate members, many of which claim to be very interested.

The ice ball caught my attention but I'm troubled by their claims that it lasts 80% longer than an ice cube. I mean if the volume of the ball is bigger than the cube it's obviously going to last longer, however if you use the same volumes the sphere should melt first since it has a bigger surface area and thus it exchanges much more heat with the liquid. The ball would probably cool whatever liquid faster than the cube though.
That said, the most useful would be the ChillBottles as they are reusable and they should cool any drink reasonably fast since steel will exchange heat with the liquid a lot faster plus it would not dilute your drink.
The big cooler doesn't seem a wise choice for carbonated drinks. And the last one doesn't appeal. At least not for me.
So Ninja's awesome choice of the week goes for the ChillBottles with an honorable mention for the ice balls because they are sexy ;)
Re: NSA points
I think it's environmentally unfriendly. Too much black ink was spent there =/
