And perhaps betting on one single game isn't a good business plan?? Perhaps?

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Hands-Free Law, Smands-Free Law: Distracting, Dangerous and Ridiculous Things You Can Still Do While Driving]]> @nutbastard: The problem is tax payers have to pay for bad air, substance abuse treatment centers, people with head injuries from motorcycle crashes, people who get seriously injured from not wearing a seatbelt and so forth. I am not saying the current laws we have regarding things like controlled substances are perfect, but I do think laws regarding helmets are a good idea. You do not have a civil right to ride a motorcycle helmet-less. But if the state grants you the privilege, the state requires that you also wear a helmet to protect society from having to fork over millions for brain surgery in the event you fall.

Your view would make sense if it only affects you. But unfortunately, your actions have a cost to society; therefore society is a stakeholder in your actions.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on House of Representatives Passes Bill to Protect Us from Asteroids]]> NASA's budget in 2007 was 0.58% of the federal budget. In the 1960's space race, NASA's budget was more than 5% of the federal budget. A single B-2 bomber costs $2.2 billion. The planned NASA mission to Pluto costs less than 1/3rd of a single B-2 bomber.

Do we really need to spend more on our military than the next 15 countries put together (considering many of those are US allies)? Stop bitching about pennies people. Get real.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on House of Representatives Passes Bill to Protect Us from Asteroids]]> @Rabid Penguin: You're going to burn in hell if you don't think like me, don't believe what I believe, and don't hate who I hate.

Liberals have a right to be scared of f-ed up conservatives.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on <i>Wall-E</i> Review: One of the Best Sci-Fi Movies in Years, Disguised as a Cartoon]]> At first, I thought this was going to be another "Short-Circuit" type of film and didn't plan on seeing it. Upon learning further about what the movie was really about, it definitely piqued my interest and now, with the amazing trailers and previews and reviews, I am definitely going to see this, maybe more than once... and certainly buying this on Blu-Ray!

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Google Street View Car Drives Into Microsoft Campus, Gets Laughed At By Windows Live Maps]]> You know, the Microsoft Maps "Bird's Eye View" is actually very helpful when you want to look at relative structure heights. For that, I actually prefer Maps.Live.com over google maps.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Eternal Sonata On PS3: More Than Just A Port]]> @haggis: I second that. How can you release this on a system with a majority fan base that doesn't even like JRPGs all that much and yet not on a system with a noticeably larger JRPG fan base...

If it is, no thanks. I have enough eye strain at work.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Intel Is Skipping Windows Vista]]> @chiablo: Agreed. The loudest haters/basher/complainers are those who don't have Vista or have only used like once... back in 2007 pre-SP1. I feel sorry for all those sheep following the herd and truly missing out on the new helpful features.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Giz Explains: How the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Will Save the World]]> @daftfunk: There are certainly a lot of similarities between Bill's and Carnegie's foundations. I was glad to read that Bill gave a speech in Los Angeles urging businesses to get involved with improving the schools in the region. Businesses reap the benefits of the educational system (i.e., those students who do graduate from high school and ultimately from universities with degrees). It seems natural and right that businesses should also want to improve and repair the broken pieces by investing in solutions.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Japan to Build Huge Solar Power Plants to Power Sharp Factories]]> @johnnyabnormal: Yep, and the lies that America needs to literally destroy its own environment and drill for oil! Then we would not be in this current energy crisis! Right. Woo hoo, gas could be a few cents cheaper. Only at the cost of severely polluted ecosystems. Have you seen Nigeria and Columbia lately?

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Dog Made Adorably Bionic With Model Airplane Wheels]]> @liquidsoapdispenser: I don't know the current status of the project as well, but you don't get anywhere by not trying. I'm sure things were learned by the first/second/third/etc. attempt at giving Hope front legs.

That's how science works.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Doha, Qatar: A Future City as Envisioned by Syd Mead]]> @VideoVampire: That's why the parks are elevated above the smoldering ruins of the "lower city." The plants can only survive above the pollution layer.

This looks kinda like Midgar to me (FFVII reference).

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on Windows XP On a Dell Means $50 Downgrade Surcharge Starting Now]]> Personally for home, I like Vista and Office 2007. I actually have both and can speak from long-term experience (I don't think you can give an accurate review of any OS from a single one-time use). I have an XPS 410 with Vista that I love. My next Dell will be a laptop with Vista. Obviously it will be one of those no interest for 12-month deals that I pay off at 11.9 months LOL.

Fools.

]]> <![CDATA[berribrand commented on The Third Eye Brings Overhead View to Everyday Life]]> Strange. This is how people actually "remember" past events. When you think back on something you did earlier, you typically view yourself from a 3rd person perspective elevated to somewhat birds-eye level. This is also why your own memory often fools. That and the fact that your brain makes up stuff all the time (aka your blind spot).
