Comment Re:It was a good run (Score 1) 97

I believe they LET / ASKED him to keep donating after the usual Age cut off date because they needed his blood and he was a very good producer of what they needed. But he finally reached the age where even the blood bank said "yeah nah Maaaaaaate! thanks! been wonderful, but we really don't want to kill you so this is your last"

Comment Re:GPS maybe? (Score 5, Informative) 101

Civilian GPS equipment is actually designed to cut out above a certain velocity and altitude. Generally the velocities and altitudes involved in weapons delivery applications. This is, of course, designed to prevent somebody building an ultra cheap Balistic Missile guided by GPS OR an ultra fast rocket propelled missile guided by GPS. Go too fast OR too high and your guidance goes from accurate to estimate to guesstimate to "ooh, look at the flowers"

Comment Moving game in development to FPS (Score 1) 75

I read this as EA saying something like:
"Our head decision maker likes playing first person shooters and doesn't give a toss about games with well thought out storys. This game is being pivoted from the single player story line based game play to online first person shooter team combat"

Comment How is this even on Slashdot? (Score 1) 215

Wait.. what? How is this even on /.

Sure it talks about porn sites. Which a large proportion of /. readers PROBABLY[0] access. But apart from that, this is nothing to do with tech news etc..

Oh wait.. I'm living in the Naughties[1] back when Slashdot cared about relevance.

[0]Okay Okay Petal. Not you. I know you don't access porn. I'm talking about the OTHER group of /. readers
[1] You know, 2000 to 2010.

Comment The plural of LEGO is LEGO Bricks Not LEGOs (Score 1) 93

The Plural of Lego is not Legos, It's Lego Bricks.

I cannot find the official link on their web page but the following link points points to a number of discussions and official Lego announcements and requests.
http://english.stackexchange.c...

Now the following is juts my personal reaction to the use of LEGOs.
The Plural of Lego is Lego. In the same way that the plural of a Sheep is Sheep. You don't hear somebody say "I'm going to round up my Sheeps" you hear them saying "I'm going to round up my sheep" (Actually, you probably hear them say "I'm going to round up the flock" But that doesn't help my argument)
