Pretty sure you can determine China's Cyberwar Threat level by determining the ratio of Shrute Bucks to Stanley Nickels and multiply by 3.

The only people reporting that the Chinese Stealth Fighter is even match for the Raptor are the Chinese and even they can't keep a straight face when they say it.
Its bigger, heavier, slower, its radar capabilities are at least 15 years behind the Raptors and they aren't stealthy at all to the Raptors.

Josh Holloway will do just fine in Eastwood's place. Don't misunderstand me, Eastwood at 30 for this, there is no better casting choice for this role. Since that isn't going to be possible, Holloway will do.
Failed Games That Damaged Or Killed Their Companies 397
An anonymous reader writes "Develop has an excellent piece up profiling a bunch of average to awful titles that flopped so hard they harmed or sunk their studio or publisher. The list includes Haze, Enter The Matrix, Hellgate: London, Daikatana, Tabula Rasa, and — of course — Duke Nukem Forever. 'Daikatana was finally released in June 2000, over two and a half years late. Gamers weren't convinced the wait was worth it. A buggy game with sidekicks (touted as an innovation) who more often caused you hindrance than helped ... achieved an average rating of 53. By this time, Eidos is believed to have invested over $25 million in the studio. And they called it a day. Eidos closed the Dallas Ion Storm office in 2001.'"

I wasn't relating this to intelligence, just to the comment, "why would anyone want a dog?".
My dog can turn off the lights(lightswitches, open doors(doors with doorknobs) and knows what switch to hit to put the garage door so she can go out. I'll take that kind of intelligence any day over a cats intelligence of just lying around all day.
Submission + - Old PC games vs. the new ones
Dark_Brother writes: "Hello! [url=http://oldversusnew.blogspot.com/]This[url] is my first blog, so forgive me for some eventual mistakes. In this blog, I will write about the problem that bother many gamers. Or least I think so...
Now, the problem is (fanfare, please...) lack of ideas and innovation in PC games. You certainly noticed that all the games of the specific genre are practically SAME. For example, look at Medal of Honor and Call of Duty (1 or 2, whatever). There certainly are some improvements, like AI, graphic and some minor things, but did you noticed ANY radical changes in gameplay? No? What a surprise! Their mechanic is almost same like mechanics in Wolfenstein 3D, for exmaple.
In this blog, I will compare some new games (2005-2007), with their older brothers. This is just the beginning. There will be more games. I think I will add one comparing by a day (or two), so don't worry, there will be plenty to read!
*Note: All that is written here is my personal opinion. All games that are here are OK, but mostly, their "old brothers" are better."
