Comment Re:1.2 million euro (Score -1) 452

The euro is an international currency, the Anglo-sphere can try to "regulate" language all they want, but it just looks foolish. There is a reason why we use euro/euros for different things: "This game costs twenty euro. I had a bill of fifty euro yesterday, but I spent most of it on clothing. Oh wait, I still have twenty euros in my pocket, I can pay for it!"

Who is this "we" you are speaking of? You and all the other Anonymous Cowards? You're called coward for a reason, you know. I know I wouldn't, just like I wouldn't assist most politicians, and dictators. If you want to force companies to change, you first have to change yourself.

Is there -any- possible reason for this ./ article to link to http://digitizor.com/2010/08/16/happy-17th-birthday-debian-and-some-interesting-history/ instead of linking to the _official_ birthday page: http://thank.debian.net/ Also, like kwebbles mentioned, it's really sad you sad to bring up Ubuntu. It's Debian's birthday, you insensitive clods.

Comment Re:You got the wrong continent (Score 1) 94

And -I- would say that things like game development (and computer engineering in general) is a global happening. It makes no sense to point out what "Americans" or the "English" did as opposed to "the Japanese". Game companies (and subsequently, games) are build using talent from all over the globe. In one game, your sprites may be American, your music can be Japanese and the code could be African.

Sure, you can point out regional differences in the game market. If you look closer though, you'll see that there's much more cohesion than divisiveness.

Scroll down, take notice of the sponsors. The list contains, among others, Walmart, Xbox 360 (yes, the name of the console, not the company), Gamestop and Alienware (Dell).

Dirty little fucking companies at it again. Skewing results, steering votes. Eugh.
