Wow, that totally explains this.

Why I hate PETA by RandallDangerStevensin vegetarian

[–]roger_ 2 points3 points ago* 

It's cool to bash PETA (especially on Reddit).

I not disagreeing that a lot of what they do is wasteful, and that they often come across as douches, but they're still bringing issues like bw2002 mentioned to the general public.

Yep, just a front for the meat and tobacco industries.

They don't run shelters. They take in terminal and un-adoptable animals that other places won't, and often have to euthanize them.

BTW you're referencing an article from a lobby group for the meat and tobacco industries (among others).

So PETA should ignore the fact that sex sells?

You're also disregarding the fact that they use men in ads too. Even if that wasn't try, they're not objectifying women worse than any other company, and at least they're doing it for a good reason.

Funny Life's Too Short scene by stevenl95in rickygervais

It's a funny show IMHO, most people just had really high expectations.

Even Ricky said it wasn't gonna be as good as his previous shows.

Wii U To Be More Powerful Than the Next Xbox by appdirectin wiiu

Nope, the Xbox beats the GC in almost every comparison.

Again, there are reasons why Nintendo can sell its systems for the lowest price and still make profits.

Any recommendations for decent computers speakers to replace my dying Klipsch PM 2.1? by roger_in hardware

Looks nice, but quite a bit over my budget :(

Wii U To Be More Powerful Than the Next Xbox by appdirectin wiiu

[–]roger_ -6 points-5 points ago

Depends on the game, the N64 cartridges didn't have the storage space of the PS for high-res images. The PSX was also released two years earlier too (so the comparison isn't completely fair), and cost 50% more than the N64 at its release.

I'm pretty sure the Xbox had better specs too, and in my experience generally had better looking games. And again Nintendo offered something that was 50% cheaper than the Xbox and PS2.

Not really compared to the competition (NeoGeo, Jaguar, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, etc.)

Nintendo was consistently priced the lowest though, so of course they had to comprimise in brute power. They often had the better games (or ones with broader appeal), so that didn't matter too much.

Nintendo usually prices their stuff (relatively) low compared to Sony and Microsoft, and they rarely go for cutting-edge performance.

Do I still need to be aware of the GIL when doing multi-threaded stuff with PyPy? by roger_in Python

[–]roger_[S] -1 points0 points ago

I don't actually have an application in mind, I was just asking out of curiosity. I'd be much more inclined to use threading if the GIL wasn't an issue though.

Knowing Nintendo's history, that claim is pretty suspect.

Hypothetical - What if the marines had kept their Pulse Rifles? by damianlzin LV426

[–]roger_ 0 points1 point ago

Still would be very difficult with xeno's popping up above and below.

In an open field it'd probably be a lot easier.

[–]roger_ 0 points1 point ago

They might have held out a little longer, but I don't think they could've taken on 100+ xeno's in such close quarters.

That said, I'd love to see what would happen in a fight with better prepared marines (are you reading this James Cameron? Alas, I know you aren't).
