Comment Re:Culprit ? (Score 4, Interesting) 376

I was Army and when I watched it, I couldn't get past the fact it took place in 2004 and not only was someone playing an Xbox 360 on a 32" LCD TV, they were playing Gears of War (released 2007). That and the fact everybody was wearing the ACUs (Army Combat Uniform-the grey pixelly one) and not the DCUs (Desert Combat Uniform), which were not all that common until 2005. Didn't notice the cereal though!

I don't think this is making it completely unavailable to them at all. It's easy enough to mail order a game (even if you are in Iraq or Afghanistan), and even easier to drive off base to your local walmart. Also, this say Gamestops on base won't sell the game. It makes no mention of Post or Base Exchanges. I think it's a good sentiment on Gamestop's part.

Funny, I've always thought of vampires as the new zombies. We had the rash of zombie movies over the last x years- resident evil, 28 days, ect. Now we have all this vampire business going on with true blood and that god awful piece of crap that 12 year old girls and gay men go see.

I don't think it is impossible at all. Maybe with today's technology it is, but who knows what humans will discover and be capable of in the next 100 years. It frustrates me seeing posts from people like you thinking our basic understanding of physics and engineering is the pinnacle of science- which is both vacuous and stupid.

I'm sure we would have still left the trees if everyone was like you, but we probably wouldn't have an airplane or a computer. We probably would not be able to trap light. We probably wouldn't be uncovering quantum secrets, detecting extra-solar planets, or visiting the moon either. We are at the brink of learning how to manipulate space and, in the future, we will only learn more.

These researchers are dumb idiots. They have no clue what they are talking about and are all just dumb, poor idiots without any friends. I bet they are all redneck republicans, too. They live in the bible belt and work on dirty farms! They haven't even been to grad school! Sent from my iPad.

Comment AVOID THE ISSUE (Score 4, Informative) 342

Lucky for me I read up on this before using my PS3 at all today. I seem to have circumvented the issue to a degree. I unplugged the power my wireless router and then fired up my PS3. From there, I noticed my date/time was set to 12/31/2000. In the system settings, I disabled internet connection and reset the time manually to 3/1/2010. Now that internet was disabled, I plugged my router back in. I tested a few games, and all worked. Granted, this does not solve the issue of trophies and getting into PSN, but at least I can play single player games until they come up with a fix.

It's less about the damage the leak caused and more about the dishonesty and cover-up. I live in Massachuestts, on the Connecticuit River, about 80 miles downstream from Vermont Yankee. I, for one, will be happy to see this place's license not extended. If they covered up something this (as you claim) trivial, I would hate to see what else they are capable of covering up, or would cover up.
