  Re: Re: Re:

  My problem with the RSS ads is that sometimes they're just plain inappropriate. I've been biting my tongue about it, but now seems like a good time to speak up.

  Re: Re:

  I think so. In this case, I think he's referring to radiation in the terms thermal radiation, you know, like heat radiating from a radiator. Or specifically, from the battery exploding.

  Re: Re: Pointless Babbling is the point

  I'm just saying that I see alot of emphasis placed on twitter being a protocol used for notification, but given its limitations. it doesn't seem a useful replacement for RSS to me. Of course Twitter can be a useful tool when used for actual communication, but RSS appears to be a better protocol for notification purposes, that still has the capability to change, if it ever does become the horse and buggy.

  Pointless Babbling is the point

  My only problem with Twitter is when it ISN'T used for pointless babble, because when it isn't "babbling", it winds up getting used as a replacement for RSS, but RSS doesn't need replacing, that's why we have it.

  There should be no controversy, Hot Coffee isn't even in the game unless you change the game code, which is certainly something you have to choose to do, and really isn't easy on any platform other than PC.
