Comment It's the story! (Score 1) 436

special effects are always supplemental to story.

the bar for what 'dazzles' the film-goer raises over time but regardless of technique (3D, Stop-motion, green screen, CGI) a bad story will not become better with 3D.

Comment Ship Half-Life 3 already, Valve! (Score 1) 768

If you want to make tons of money, just ship another AAA game.

Windows 8 people will buy it and they will pay for it whether it is on Steam, Xbox live, Windows Store, what have you.

Put your resources and talent where it belongs.

Half-life was the bees knees way back when. I remember when the first head crab jumped out at me. almost shat meself, me did.

HL2 was rip-roarin fun.

HL episodes were like dancing naked in a filed of posies.

Focus all of your resources on HL3. Make it epic. Why are you still reading this, Valve? Off with you, then...

Comment Cisco is a Partner Led company (Score 1) 220

I did not read the article. Just want to state that Cisco typically does not bid directly on projects like this.

A 'partner' (Service Provider like AT&T or Century Link. An integrator like Northrop Grumman or WWT)

Would bid on this. They get (Managed Solutions Partner) Discounts that they would bake into the RFP response.

Some of these discounts are as high as 65-70%, depending on the product, competitive landscape and so-on.

I would take this price comparison with a big grain of salt. There is more here than meets the eye.

Comment We Geniuses (Score 2) 385

are misunderestimated. Just because I can memorize pi to 1000 digits, lift 75 lbs with my weiner and compose French poetry in the bathtub don't mean I should be treated like a freak.

I'm just a people, too.

Comment Get ready for the pre-election flash crash (Score 2) 617

Wall street hates Obama.

Not a partisan jab, just an observation. (I am actually one of the 'undecideds' they keep talking about)

Remember what happened to the stock market 2 weeks before the last election (October 24th, 2008) The election was Nov. 4th.

this year it is Nov 6th. You'll see.
