Just goes to show you, they don't build 'em like they used to.


The 767 has a far fewer deaths than its older cousin the 737. It isn't apples to apples, because they aren't the same class of plane, but the 737 has well over 3500+ fatalities, where as the 767 has about 500+. Its brother, the Narrow body 757, is over 700+ deaths in its run so far. The 737 is only a decade older, not enough to make up the death per year ratio of the 737. So in this case, thank god they don't make them like they used to. If you notice that in the ten latest crashes include a 737 and a 747. The 767 has had a bad rap ever since EgyptAir Flight 990, but it is a good hull if properly maintained. That being said, the plane in question was delivered to LOT on 15 May 1997, a very new plane in all respects.

I guess I stand corrected, most gamers are now grumpy old men pining for the glories of yesteryear.

Fuck me, no wonder they advertize Viagra during X-Play.

I hear what you guys are saying, I just don't feel the same way. I guess part of it is that I don't really get the appeal of first person shooters anymore. I sorta liked 'em back when Doom was a hot name in gaming, and when I was young enough to think Duke Nukem 3D was groundbreaking for its mature themes. The last one I really liked was Half-Life, but that's because it heavily incorporated story elements, not because of the game mechanics (which were far from groundbreaking).

I thought Gears of War was a refreshing change of pace, and IMO presented the first real gameplay innovations we've seen in shooters since Doom. I'm glad there's been a lot of copying of their cover mechanics, since it adds real tactical considerations like cover fire and flanking to firefights. It's not enough to really make me a shooter fan again, but it's enough to keep me from being annoyed at developers for just continually putting new paint on 20-year old game mechanics.

I guess I just generally prefer action-adventure or sandbox games nowadays. Combat shouldn't be 100% of what games are about anymore as far as I'm concerned. If developers still want to make shooting the centerpiece of gameplay, then it should at least require some thought along the way, and force you to change weapons and tactics every now and then so it doesn't get stale.

Reverting back to "classic" shooter mechanics just seems like a step in the wrong direction to me.

Oh, and full disclosure, the only modern shooters I've played are Resistance, Gears, and Halo. Maybe I'm just missing out on something new and unique that everyone knows about from CoD or Battlefield, but from the sound of the reviews, I kinda doubt it.

It's not about this generation of 20 year olds, it's every generation of 20 year olds. It's you, at 20. Man, it took me a while to lose my sense of entitlement. In fact, I'm not sure I have.

There's always talk about that greatest generation. What about the ones that were fucked up in the head because they went through a horrible fucking War? I mean thats gotta mess you up something fierce.

It's not about this generation of 20 year olds, it's every* generation of 20 year olds. It's you, at 20. Man, it took me a while to lose my sense of entitlement. In fact, I'm not sure I have.

Funniest part of the whole thing is the two in the studio laughing their asses off.

You know I've done something like this. Not on live TV but when I was telling a friend about an accident I was nearly involved in. At the time I was about 20 years old and, oh yea, I was also tripping my ass off on acid.

Ok, I upvote even though I really have seen this bit a number of times

He gets a little harsh towards 20 year old in this, but his great truth, which anyone should take away from it is: DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, and do it well.

If you don't like your current job then spend time looking for one you'd prefer to do, but still do your current job WELL.

I know people who are just like this and it shits me so much, because it's exactly the thing that stops them getting anywhere in life. They don't climb the ladder of success because they never have a good reference, they never show how damn good they can be at the shitty jobs so they get noticed, or come away with a great reference, to move on to the next, bigger, better job and so on.

Being shit at the shit jobs means you'll always do the the shit jobs. Be great at the shit jobs and people Fucking NOTICE. They DO...

My first real job (not counting delivery medicine by bike or working in Pizza Hut) was answering ALL the email an ISP got.. ALL of it, just me handling all complaints, queries, support requests... pretty mind numbing really... but you know what, when I left that company I was a lead client software developer, creating code to run on AT&T's customer's computers nation wide... and then when that company closed up I was recommended on to another company where I work today.

All because I DID THE SHITTY JOBS WELL.

It's a HUGE truth that is really important for doing well in this world, and as Louis points out, there are those who don't get it.

This is a great lecture, I really don’t like the set it is distracting and just plain ugly. Guess this is 20 years old?

15 people were arrested for taking part in ddos attacks, which are the virtual equivalent of walking into a store with a 1000 friends and buying nothing. they're facing $500,000 lawsuits and 15 years in prison.

how do you propose we, the people, hold a board of directors accountable for their actions? what steps exactly can we legally take? usually when a group of people disagrees with the actions of a corporate entity, they organize a boycott of the goods/services said entity is providing. your entire last paragraph was not thought out entirely. and a reeked of a typical protofascist cop-out. turn off your corporate medias, son.

what in particular are you talking about when you say "virtual version of walking into a store and not purchasing anything?"?
The hillbilly analogy was used as an example of punishing an individual (the drunk) versus punishing a faceless company like PayPal. By punishing Paypal (taking down their site) you are punishing the people who work there and the investors who own the company. Do they deserve punishment because of the decisions of a few at that company? Shouldn't we hold the leaders or directors responsible instead?

I am in no way defending the targets or their actions that caused them to fall under the crosshairs. But PayPal is not a hillbilly with a who drank too much at the bar, got a blowjob from a hooker, and came home to beat the wife cuz dinner wasn't ready. People who don't deserve to be punished are...and that sucks.

romanticizing? or supporting? ...and hopefully never.
the drunk hillbilly analogy makes very little sense.
who exactly is punished? people who couldn't access their paypal accounts for a few hours?? inconvienced maybe, punished? not quite.
or are you talking about the 20 year old kids who are facing $500,000 law suits and 15 years in prison for what is the virtual version of walking into a store and not purchasing anything? beacuse yeah, that does fucking suck.

when will people stop sounding like protofascist drones and reclaim their innate ability to think critically and be free?
what's happening here is so much bigger than bored teenagers fucking shit up for a day. it's a new current in radical movements. there's always been radical activity under the surface of any dominate power structure, and hopefully their always will be. this is the fist time in history it's been so able to truly be a global force. and that my friend, is fucking huge... a few hundred thousand kids, world wide, understand the technology so much better than any corporate/governmental IT division. they're writing the fucking code. this is the kind of movement that i think really has staying power, and it will be impossible for either political party just absorb some of the ideology into their platform to placate it, like they do with all movements that gain any sort of momentum.
