Comment Re:It didn't help last time. (Score 0) 158

The low number is normal. If it was near the high number of the actual donation something is wrong. They usually don't lie about numbers about how much is donated (because of good publicity of how successful the program is). Then the amount diminishes due to expenses, etc. All official charities, are actual corporations that need to pay their workers, CEOs, VPs, etc. I guarantee if they collect $10 mill, less than $5 mill actually goes to actually helping. Worse are government aid, which could mean they give them aid which costs up to that donation amount they stated (which means food, water, etc. that is probably brought at the over priced amount and aide workers - yes people get paid to work, duh - are subtracted to that amount). It's usually never clear cut money tossed at the victim's gov't. Or the amount could be tied down through some legal issues and the victims never see a dime for many years to come.

I think they are making too much of it. It could be the last arcade/arcade in NYC. And what I mean by that is the Chinatown arcade is just an arcade and nothing else. There are other places in NYC that restaurants with an arcade (which they don't count as an arcade). Chuck E. Cheese, Dave and Busters, etc. are places that have an arcade in NYC but are considered a restaurant.

Comment How does this stop pirating? (Score 0) 469

Last time I heard most of the stuff being pirated are the movies currently in the theaters. So chances of it being a good version that it's HD quality rather than a CAM version is...? Pirates don't care as long as there is a decent viewable version of the movie. If it's just released on DVD/Blu-ray for rentals, I'm sure a large majority will agree to the statement above.

Comment Re:Dependent on the Church (Score 0) 323

The Bible actually clearly states you are to confess sin directly to God, not to man. But the Catholic Church wants you dependent on the Church, and this app removes part of that dependence.

Actually you missed the recent memo. Our God now is Steve Jobs. Confessing to the iPhone is normal practice now.
