Could you back that up?

See Paperback Books: "by the time of the American Revolution chapbooks fell into the following categories: 28% were religious works, 25% were fictional romances, 15% were biographical, 13% accounts of true crimes, and the remainders were joke books, and song books." But gore was popular: "Chapbooks drew the wrath of such men as preacher Jonathan Edwards who railed against them from pulpits and courthouses. ... Beheadings were popular, as were dismembered arms and legs dripping blood." There's more here, but later paperbacks in the 19th and 20th C were mostly pulp fiction. Of course, it's possible that porn books went unrecorded, but in that case I'd even more like to know your source of information, or did you just make it up?

But I agree, there's no reason for the lack of context in the blurb, since the Swordquest games are kinda esoteric to people who aren't into classic video games. They're pretty awful games, and the little prominence they have is almost entirely due to their comic-book/contest tie-ins, combined with the rarity of the third game in the series. And they aren't really sequels to Adventure -- the first game in the series was named Adventure II early in development, but quickly evolved (many would say devolved) into something else entirely.

Hey,
At least it detects .oggs

There is a list out there of overused scifi cliches. And with many of them its how you use it. Now saying that ideas are taken from trek, well i dont think any of the ideas in trek are original ones anyway, but that may be up for debate. However in many cases it not so much the plot, but the implementation.

TNG did its groundhog day episode, and so did stargate, and the stargate one is funnier and still easily my favorite episode.

That's Zak McKracken, not Ernie, Bob, Phil, or whatever else you may have been thinking. You guys must've been hanging out too close to those phone lines, the 60 cycle hum will get to you eventually. The proof is here: http://c64.users2.50megs.com/zak.htm

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

Linus Torvalds is an anagram of SLIT ANUS OR VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.

Richard M. Stallman , spokespervert for the Gaysex is Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of MANS CRAM THRILL AD.

Alan Cox is barely an anagram of ANAL COX which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.

I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, [Buy At Amazon] is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for SECONDARY RIM and CORD IN MY ARSE. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for "Felch Male" - a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, "felching" is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into "e-male."

As far as Richard "(cock)Master" Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following:

RMS: "I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance," he says. "It's about being able to question conventional wisdom," he asserts. "I believe in love, but not monogamy," he says plainly.

And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!

Speaking about "flaming," who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:

"I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

Is this why you were touching your p

Gigarectum is one that's probably not so frequently used. Same goes for Xenomorph, flagellate, moribund, logorrhea, sialoquent, genetrix, and bolection.

Spam costs the user nothing to send because the recipient either buys in or deletes. What would happen if recipients who have no intention of buying string the spammer along, pretending to want to buy, getting quotes for bulk orders, wanting to know about origins, asking all kinds of pointless questions, etc..

Of course, if only a few people did this, it wouldn't have any effect, but if it happened on a huge scale, it would make spammers' lives more difficult.

Several folks have done this with the Nigerian Bank Frauds, sometimes getting the would-be fraudsters to make multiple trips to the airport, spend a lot of time in correspondence, and so on. Some have even gotten a bit of cash out of the scammers.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

I always preferred Latin numerical prefixes.

I must say, "Sexium" has a nice ring to it.

Also, note that the allies often shot at church spires as they were/were thought to be used for artillery spotting.

If you happened to visit the recent Philly Classic you'd know that there is a tsunami of homebrew activity on the 2600, which is both good and bad IMHO as some titles feel and play like shovelware

Fascinating.

I had no idea that you were the voice for all professional technology journalists everywhere. I'll have to remind the technology journalists I know (and contact those that I don't, just so they know) that they should stop visiting and writing because a lone voice howling in the Internet wilderness has an axe to grind and went on a rabid rant that we lacked credibility with him. Sure thing. Gotcha.

Thanks for completely ignoring the half-dozen paragraphs of entirely relevant context preceding the line that you took as the kernel for your completely off-base and misguided (at best) rant. But context apparently doesn't mean a thing to a "pro tech journalist" -- I'll try not to laugh out loud at that -- like you claim to be.

As for your argument about being put "out of business" by vendors unhappy with critical reviews, it's not going to happen. The fact is that none of us need to rely on the site for personal income or revenue. With personal financial imperatives removed, we're entirely free to publish whatever content we see fit, free of editorial interference from manufacturers. Critical coverage has led to us being frozen out in the past. That's a decision that is entirely within vendors' rights to make, but it doesn't leave a good impression with the readership. It comes off as sour grapes or taking their toys and going home.

But being the ever-so-clever and infallible uber-technology-reviewer that you are, you would know that, wouldn't you? Unless you're not who or what you claim to be. Now there's a thought.

Good products get good reviews, bad products get bad reviews.

My naive friend, if only it were so, there wouldn't have been a need to start Geartest.com (or any of the other sites that people have mentioned here). The fact is that there are many so-called "pro tech journalists" and "professional reviewers" -- presumably you are the self-annointed leader -- who don't actually do reviews but are entirely motivated by other financial considerations. For example, say, people who want others to hire them as a "professional Web surfer" at $25 per search for using Google. Or, say, people who want companies to hire them as home appliance Internet security product development consultants of dubious credentials -- or none for that matter.

For someone that claims to be such a security expert, it's amazing to me that you would ask people to fill out a Web form and transmit detailed personal information (more than enough for identity theft) to you via the Internet in plaintext ("unencrypted" for those who aren't entirely familiar with the terminology).

How many not-so-good products get excellent reviews at Geartest.com? NONE. In fact not very many products at all get excellent reviews, or even good ones. That's because most products out there are just mediocre.

Commercial technology product releases are often shipped with flaws. The fact that Belkin released updated software for its UPS had nothing to do with your phantom review. Belkin was probably aware of any problems when it shipped and made a business decision to proceed based on the slim probablility that any individual user would be affected by the flaw. Anyone who has ever worked on modern technology products knows that this is a common occurrence, something that you seem to be completely unaware of.

I was going to write a gently-worded response that refuted every one of your personal issues, but you've earned a reply that matches the tone of your comment.

Curse and swear all you like (really professional conduct by the way). If you are a fraction of the accomplished and esteemed reviewer and technologist that you make yourself out to be, your efforts would be better put to being part of the solution instead of throwing around your petty denouncements, name

Perhaps these old humanists were on to something...

Here's the punchline: the classical era never developed any really good scripts. Most books were generated by publishing houses staffed by slaves, who wrote everything in simple capital letters. Other documents were done in a variety of scripts, none of them very attractive or easy to read. Then during the middle ages, with the European economy in deep decline, people invented lower-case letters and cursive writing in order to reduce publishing costs. This culminated in a beautiful script called Caroline Miniscule. This "classical" script which the Renaissance humanists admired and and revived, had died out only a couple of centuries before!

That's the Renaissance in a nutshell. They thought they were reviving an old culture, when they were really inventing a completely new one.

That case is nothing. Now here's a case.

Obviously, you have never taken a Pacific Challenge. Pacific Real Draft, as far as I can tell, use to be made by the Brick Brewery. But they don't show it on they're site, so this is about my only proof.

This was a contest in my college bar. It was thought up by the bartenders to get rid of the 2 year old Pacific they had in their fridge. It was so crappy that they only bought two cases of it, and they still had about 40 by the time this started. Basically, we'd play pool, and the loser had to chug a bottle of this crap. I myself drank about a dozen of those things. I swear, it was like giving Old Jenny Rottencrotch a full tongue bath. They gave away the beer for free, since they'd make it back in the shots of SoCo I'd buy to get rid of the taste. The only upside was that my pool game improved dramatically...
