Informative? More like needs citation, or funny, which you were probably going for.

I guess your modders agreed that it's "more green" because there isn't a tower of smoke going out the roof but I sure would like to see the amount of fuel burned to sufficiently freeze then shatter someone in the aforementioned manner.

(Though, I would mod you +1 awesome idea, regardless.)

Comment Re:Xbox Live is cornerstone of Social Networking? (Score 1) 307

This is modded interesting? Wow.

The statement when properly read is saying the the Xbox 360, and several of its components such as the Live Marketplace, Netflix streaming content through the Xbox Dashboard, Facebook/Twitter Dashboard apps, and Live.FM streaming audio wouldn't have come to pass.

All of which is perfectly true, had the XBox 1 not done well, it's like that the 360 would have been canned in R&D, and thus these elements of the 360 experience wouldn't have come into existence either.

So, what you mean to say is:

My side lost so I would like to impose a new (post competition) rule set because I believe the winning side banded together for the 'wrong' reasons, and should therefore be punished by being made instead to lose. I more specifically believe this because my sided banded together for the 'right' reasons!"

Comment Re:Oh waiter, my glass has something in it... (Score 1) 688

I've told the people at work that ask me half-full or half-empty for years now that my glass is simply half-occupied, and they go about their docile way.

I've been waiting for years to congratulate the person that calls me on the fact that the glass must be wholly occupied, though perhaps not with a singular substance. Years I tell you :(

Comment Oh, that's what made Vista fail!? (Score 3, Insightful) 672

Microsoft will release a public beta this week of its next desktop operating system, Windows 7, hoping it will address the problems that have made Windows Vista perhaps the least popular OS in its history.

So, Vista failed because they didn't provide a public beta for it?

How about addressing the increasingly long list of features people actually want instead of a resource intensive API to make my windows translucent? Or, making what was arguably Vista's best and at the same time worst feature (UAC) something that works without making itself so intrusive as to be the first time users desire to disable?!

Comment Re:Let's rephrase : scientists say, kill manned sp (Score 1) 308

An interesting statement when the research groups own "Statement of Task" includes:

"and ensuring the future progress of the U.S. civil space program"

Most of their objective list itself seems to imply (to me at least) they are for a civil space program, though I suppose it could be a masquerade for a desire to kill it and loot the corpse.
