I'd let him beat my ass at Quake all day if he'd let me drive his car. It takes MOXIE to take your Ferrari F50, say it's not fast enough, and install turbochargers. Here's an interview with the car.

Someone who has never heard of OCR captured a chat log of a portion of the Yahoo chat with Metallica.

After reading that, I can begin to understand and sympathize with Metallica's reason for suing Napster. It should be noted that the list of names ("LON"?) is not for the purpose of prosecuting those individuals, but to demonstrate actual examples of pirating as evidence against Napster. Metallica is only going after Napster, and with not-unjustifiable reason. (Or you can just say it's justifiable reason, whatever.) Napster knows that their software is being used for piracy, they expected it, it may even be that they promoted it to get people to use the software, and why? Napster is a for-profit corporate entity with a single purpose: to make money. They don't care about freedom of information, or community, or sharing. All they want is to either have a spectacular IPO, or that some other money-grubbing corporate entity will swallow them up, giving them a considerable amount of cash in the process.

But I can't completely support Metallica's lawsuit, because of the possible precedence setting it may create, and Metallica is aware of this. But because they are just as much a bunch of money-grubbing profiteers as Napster, they are flippant about what affect this may have on freedom of information. If this results in something other than a settlement or narrow ruling, it would allow other software or service providers to be sued because of what their clients do. Imagine EFNet being shut down because of #MP3 and #Warez. And this wouldn't be very good news for Gnutella, either.

So I hope that either Metallica loses or Napster settles. Or we could help Metallica out in their goal to see Napster shut-down. Just stop using Napster, there's already a perfect replacement that's not made by some money-grubbing faceless corporation in Gnutella. Or we could use FreeNet, or any number of ways to trade mp3s other than Napster.

And, on a completely unrelated topic, be sure to check out the RomeroDance!

Since we're on the subject of bad games... Daiktana Dance

The idea of Sim Plagues is old. It was originally devised for the series of "biblical adventure" games that are in "development" by Elves on Tricycles. You can read the press release here.

It's about fucking time something like this happens. Maybe Spielberg will get the film industry off its ass and start making some good films again cause God knows it has been nothing but shit lately. Did you see Mission to Mars? What the fuck was that?
