Re:Dreamcast laser units

Check the Dreamcast Repair forum or buy a new GD-ROM drive, or just a new DC (which were $29.99 at EB last I saw) -

Re:iDVD and external drives
This'll be small comfort, I'm sure, but the SuperDrive is a Pioneer DVD-R/RW drive that makes fairly regular discount appearances under CenDyne and a couple of other brand names. I haven't tried this yet (but my birthday's coming up, and as long as I'm dreaming, God, I would also like a pony), but it is documented that if you install the drive in your G4 tower, iDVD will be none the wiser that you didn't get it at the factory.

Suzanne LloydLook what a minute of Googling turned up about Suzanne Lloyd and her grandfather's movies! (She is the one the LA times holds up as the reason this ruling is good for the little guy).
Posted on a message board, after Suzanne announces DVD will not be available yet (emphasis mine)
I'm not going to tell you how to run your life. That's not my business.
You've done some wonderful things: the book MASTER COMEDIAN was a delight. The film rep showings have been wonderful. The TCM showings have been terrific, and all Lloyd fans [and all fans of film comedy] are looking forward to the April 03 TCM showings.
But enough is enough. Cut a deal on the DVD issues and video reissues. The up-front money is not what counts - the back end is what you should be aiming for. Make sure the distribution deal is global - silent film is a small market relative to mainstream film, but cumulatively it's a larger market than most people realize since it's so easy to program multiple language intertitles on silent film and create a global product.
Maybe you're reaching for the moon in your negotiations. I don't know; I'm only assuming. I may be assuming wrongly, and if so I offer my sincere apologies. But if you yourself are an obstacle, if not the obstacle, to a production and distribution deal, then re-think your negotiating strategy. There are DVD burners out there already and people will start burning their own Lloyd DVDs without you. That's money out of your pocket.
Speak to people in similar situations - those in control of the Chaplin estate, the Keaton films, the Pickford films. Perhaps they can assist you in re-formulating your strategy.
Pop culture is ephemeral; even Elvis, the Beatles and Bob Dylan have to be repackaged for new generations. Without the films issued on DVD, which is eclipsing video as the most popular format for media, you are not doing yourself any good, you are not doing the fans of Lloyd and film comedy any good, and, most significantly, you are not doing the reputation of Harold Lloyd any good.
These are magnificent films. You'll make a handsome profit off them. Not immediately, but over time. Please re-think your approach and focus on what is not just a business proposition involving short-term gains, but the perpetuation of a significant cultural legacy.
Rick Levinson
And another:
"Why can't we give Suzanne the benefit of the doubt, and assume that she is doing her best to get a fair DVD deal"
because there are no dvds, and NO sign at all anything will be released on dvd anytime in the future. "Final negotiations are being made"..", "We are working on a deal...", "2002 will see a series of box sets..." etc etc, I'm getting really tired of this crap. I dunno what's behind this but the Trust is doing an extremely @#$ job in trying to get the movies out on DVD.
It goes on and on. A lot of Harold Lloyd fans are feeling stiffed by the trust, it seems. -
Read the players responses to this.
Maybe it will give you a window into how they feel about what he said, and if they agree or not.
Here's the thread on that server's forum.

EQ rants like this pop up all the time.
I've played EverQuest for over 3 years. Rants (which is what this is, it's not "news", it's barely even "buyer beware", it's a textbook EQ rant) pop up all the time in the EverQuest community. It goes something like this:
1) PlayerX logs in for some fun.
2) Something negative happens. Either a confrontation with another player, a monster or camp is stolen, someone else beats PlayerX and/or his guild to the punch, etc.
3) PlayerX, having nobody tangible to blame for his frustration, turns on Sony because, clearly, they designed the game to inconvenience the players.
He could publicly blame players for their actions, instead of deflecting blame to Sony, on the many messageboards that are dedicated to the individual game servers (example, example). But, just like the captain of the chess club blaming the captain of the football team for bullying him, it would likely do more harm to his virtual reputation than it would help. So he lashes out at the one target who likely won't lash back.
Some of his points are relevant. If you can chop out the vitriol and get to the meat of it, you might find some comments which make sense - but these are all side effects of the very nature of MMOPRG's. Massively (large) Multiplayer (you interact with lots of people, and you won't like every one of them), Online (the internet is NOT a friendly place), Role-Playing Game (people are not who they say they are).
I don't consider the last 3 years of my time spent in EverQuest to be "wasted years." I feel sorry for people who say things like that, like the comment I read earlier where someone said they'd go to their grave wishing they hadn't have squandered 2 years of their life playing the game; that's unfortunate. I've met a lot of interesting people. I've banded together with fellow adventurers who are real people, who work 9-5 or go to classes like everyone else. Yes, I've met people I'd love to be able to rain fire down upon in real life like I can in the game, but frustration is hardly unique to EverQuest or video games in general.
If you play these types of games expecting to find a utopian society: dream on. If you play them for the fantasy aspect, where you're granted the ability to team up with like-minded adventurers to slay dragons and giants akin to the ones Tolkien wrote about, then go for it. But don't come whining to Slashdot when someone kicks sand in your face - just deal with it or move on.

Re:*looks* fantastic!
I'm hoping Nemesis does something to redeem the TNG movies, as Insurrection kinda put it on a low note. Generations is the best TNG movie so far.
Apparently, you are not familiar with the "Even-Odd" rule of Star Trek movies. This is an even-numbered movie, and thus, will rock. Think about it:- The V-ger debacle.
- KHAAAAAAAN!
- The Spock debacle.
- The whale one--rocked.
- Worst...Debacle...Ever--search for Jebus.
- Klingons, in-jokes, etc.
- Cross-generation debacle.*
- BORG QUEEN.
- Zzz..debzzzaczz..zle.zzz...
*I find it odd that you thought -Generations- better than First Contact. Really, that struck me. I know plenty of folks that like Generations, but those folks LOVE First Contact. Borg Queen man! Time travel! Wow. Did you like Search for Spock more than Wrath of Khan (shudder)?

I used to be a regular at geekizoid. I make no excuses -- at the time it was a fun place. People posted random thoughts... nonsense articles... flamed each other with wanton abandon.

It is at this point that anyone bar a few determined Lockwood mockers and his pet cock-suckers left *.geekizoid for good.

Also, the "tidal-wave of vitality" had been ongoing for quite some time before Mr. Momochrome became overcome with jealousy that people were talking about someone other than him and thus decided to throw his hat into the ring. He's nothing. A washed-up has-been. Nowadays, who even remembers who Momochrome was?

Years ago, I won the battle of the sids, and relegated all the old-guard troll cabal to the obscurity of a clumsy mailing list. I graciously left ?sid=trolltalk to the neophytes and amateurs, as a sort of stomping ground wherein they might practice the craft. Trolltalk survives today as ?sid=20721, and the tradition had continued quite nicely until recently.
Now it appears that inter-factional rivalry is attempting to rear its ugly head. The phoneboy cabal, after such ruthless and base treatment of vlad, in a capacity quite extending beyond that which is decent, breaking the code of troll ethics, our own version of 'honor among thieves', and in fact, quite actually breaking several state and federal anti-trolling laws, have debased this once lovely stomping ground and brought their diseased and perverted notions into the fore. And now they promise to utterly dominate the underworld of our own slashdot! This cannot be allowed to happen.
With Klerck acting as regent during the Geekizoid era (and furthering the art of the troll with skill and finesse, I might add), the slashdot underground moved along nicely, with the occasional hiccough brought on by taco and his feeble anti-trolling efforts.
And so, as your rightful King, I do hereby proclaim an edict: Henceforth, anyone attached to the Phoneboy Cabal is to be considered corpus memento, and is to be treated as such with extreme prejudice.

The phoneboy cabal, after such ruthless and base treatment of vlad, in a capacity quite extending beyond that which is decent, breaking the code of troll ethics, our own version of 'honor among thieves', and in fact, quite actually breaking several state and federal anti-trolling laws, have debased this once lovely stomping ground and brought their diseased and perverted notions into the fore. And now they promise to utterly dominate the underworld of our own slashdot! This cannot be allowed to happen.
With Klerck acting as regent during the Geekizoid era (and furthering the art of the troll with skill and finesse, I might add), the slashdot underground moved along nicely, with the occasional hiccough brought on by taco and his feeble anti-trolling efforts.
And so, as your rightful King, I do hereby proclaim an edict: Henceforth, anyone attached to the Phoneboy Cabal is to be considered corpus memento, and is to be treated as such with extreme prejudice.

I have a problem.
I used to be a regular at geekizoid. I make no excuses -- at the time it was a fun place. People posted random thoughts... nonsense articles... flamed each other with wanton abandon. It wasn't full of stuck up dickless wonders like certain other sites. Amazing as it may sound now, this haven of juvenile fun was hosted by Vladinator, aka Scott Lockwood, aka Fat Fucking Loser.
Things changed, of course, because nothing involving a brain-dead obesity like Lockwood can remain fun for long. Sure enough, the drooling fat fool tried to make geekizoid into a more "serious" site, and offer commercial hosting to other piss-poor attempts at slash/scoop sites -- amusing to anyone familiar with the long history of hilarious incompetence shown by the band of half-wits administering his systems. It is at this point that anyone bar a few determined Lockwood mockers and his pet cock-suckers left *.geekizoid for good.
This is my problem. I was once a geekizoidian. I now hate and despise Lardinator and all those associating with him. How do I remove this taint from my soul and rejoin the troll brotherhood? Am I doomed to wander, anonymously, the wastelands of 20721, forever excluded from decent troll society?

Re:And the creationists will say?
You are correct on micro/macro.
That's odd, because I said nothing of it other than to identify that they exist as erroneous mental constructs of creationists. Are you sure you meant to say that I was correct about that?
This sort of twisting of information of well-known information is exactly what I would expect, however. Let's compare this to something you said later:
Peppered moths are nursery stories and have little correspondance to anything. I could throw away all my yellow sheets of paper, but that wouldn't make my white paper turn into monkeys.
Are you implying that evolutionary theory stipulates that peppered moths "turned into" monkeys? Are you implying that natural selection in the case of peppered moths has something to do with the evolutionary sequence of monkeys? What did the bit about a dog born with five legs have to do with anything?
What, exactly, are you saying here? Help me make sense of these completely disconnected ideas.

Re:ObSimpsons
Microsoft APIs are buggy, poorly documented, and inneficient. It's long been known that they change them to break specific products.
Check this post for instance:
"Microsoft has been known to incorporate features into the Windows API without telling other companies, so that they can prevent them from competing by improving their programs in certain ways. Furthermore, Microsoft is notorious for using its "control of the battleground" in which the application wars are fought in order to "break" its competitors' products. Take, for example, the infamous alteration of the "WINSOCK.DLL" file, which controls how programs communicate with the Internet. After installing the Microsoft Network, America Online mysteriously fails to operate correctly, or after installing the Windows Media Player, RealPlayer no longer launches when opening Internet media files." -
Animal CrossingAs a self-proclaimed Nintendo fanboy, I think it's also necessary to point out Animal Crossing, dubbed a "communication game" by Nintendo. It's for the Nintendo Gamecube (the cheapest of the consoles at $150) and the game retails at $50, which includes a special memory card (retail $15).
Imagine a cross between Harvest Moon and The Sims. The player controls a small, cartoonish character and basically lives their life. You begin by getting a mortgage on a house, which you then have to pay off by performing tasks for the other villagers in town. There are also Pokemon-like collection aspects to Animal Crossing in that it features over 40 species of insects, dozens of fossils to discover (which you can sell for profit or donate to the museum), and also tons of fruit to collect and sell (or consume). You are also given a rating on your house, depending on how good your Feng Shui is. Actions affect how other villagers react to you. If you dig up their gardens, they'll stop being curteous to you, and eventually run the other way when you come around.
But the game is about communication. You can visit other people's villages by inserting both your and your friend's memory card in the Gamecube. Items can then be traded with each other and collections can be completed. Don't have friends? You can also trade over the Internet by providing passwords that are keyed to the player name and the village name. There is already at least one good community for trading.
Finally, the game runs in real time, based off of the Gamecube's internal clock. If you can only play after work, then the villagers will begin to make fun of you for being a night owl. Holidays occur on their specific days, and special things happen (presents exchanged on Christmas, girlfriends on Valentine's Day, etc). Also, you will receive presents on your own birthday (set at the start of the game). Seasons change, and snow or leaves fall according to the season. Sales happen during specific hours, and if you miss it, you miss the sale. And don't try to reset the clock - if you do, a character named Resetti will be coming after you and bother you with text for a full 5 minutes.
How does this relate to the story at Slashdot? One of the things to collect are first party NES games. Donkey Kong, Pinball, Ice Climbers, Balloon Brothers, and dozens more are available. All of them can either be played in-game or downloaded to the Gameboy Advance for play on the road (until the power is switched off, it's stored in RAM).
I advise anybody who's into addictive, play-for-30-minutes-a-day-everyday games to buy it. You won't be disappointed. Now if you'll excuse me, Tanooki is having a sale on coconuts in an hour and I don't wanna miss it.

Hasbro wants all profit, all the time
I think the reason we're seeing these layoffs is that Hasbro wants a profit margin similar to the one they had when Pokemon and MTG were at their prime, when D&D3 was first released and selling like mad. But Pokemon's popularity is waning, and just about everyone who wants D&D3 has it by now...so they're not making as much money, and something has to go.
Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast ("Hazards of the Coast"?) already sold GenCon to Peter Adkinson, the ousted ex-President of WotC. Perhaps before long they'll sell the RPG stuff to him, too. -

Sci-Fi cancells Farscape (MLP)
By yanisa
Sat Sep 7th, 2002 at 05:46:41 AM CSTSci-Fi network shocks viewers: Farscape, its flagship series, has been cancelled.
Fanbase reacts; join them!
-
In a surprise chat yesterday night, David Kemper, Richard Manning and Ben Browder announced Sci-Fi network's decision to cancel Farscape, critically acclaimed and much beloved SF series, now in its fourth season.
Although Sci-Fi has previously contracted for two more seasons of Farscape, they have now excercised an out-clause. This was made known to the creators and cast only after they have finished filming the last episode of Season 4, which means that they have had no chance of even finishing the story. Farscape will thus end with a cliffhanger and unfinished story threads.
Needles to say, the fanbase is in an uproar and the cast is shocked.
And not suprisingly, Dilbert has seen it coming.
If you like Farscape and would like to see it go on, add your voice to the enraged masses.

Plight of Artists
This article is a pretty interesting view on how recording contracts really don't favor the artists too much. Revenues (as it's been said before on here, I know, I know) are usually generated through concerts and item sales, not record sales (some of the figures in the article might give you an idea of how ridiculous the percentage is). For those of you who think writing is a hard way to make a living (and it is, don't doubt it), music is far worse.

This is a terrible review
Yes, the movie U-571 was historically inaccurate, and it also failed to entertain in many ways, but this "review" is hardly any better. The reviewer has an obvious agenda, and the review reads more like an seventh-grade book report than a professional criticism. There's a time and a place for this kind of "review" (like, say, April 2000 when it would have been relevant) but I'd prefer not to see this kind of thing on Slashdot again.
U-571 is a "film" starring almost no one you've heard of, directed by some guy...
This is true, if you've never heard of Matthew McConaughey (Contact), Bill Paxton(Apollo 13), Harvey Keitel (Pulp Fiction), and Jon Bon Jovi (Ally McBeal). And couldn't the reviewer be bothered actually name the director he's blaming for this? (I guess he does later, although he misspells director Jonathan Mostow's name "Mastow" every single time)
The only reason for this $90 million mess is to prove that, in the words of Jonathan Mastow, "Das Boot was based on a lie".
A more complete version of this quote, if you care, is from the Washington Post, and reads, " "based on a lie" because "[...] it pretended that the captains and crews were submariners first, and only incidentally Nazis. They were dedicated Nazis; they had to be to fight that hard." Did "Das Boot" underemphasize the Nazi patriotism of the German submariners? I don't know, but it seems like a valid viewpoint to try to express.
...some ensigns and whatnots (played like scraps of dirty sheet styrene by some guys you've never heard of)Apparently, every movie made by Hollywood that doesn't have an "All-Star" cast with already established actors is bad, since it might star actors I've never heard of.
The Evilll electrician of U-571 tries to signal the destroyer overhead, and someone finally kills the evilllll SS-Nazi Gestapo Sea Killer electrician! Yay! Onward with the gratuitous stereotyping of our former enemies!
Wow, a WWII movie that portrays the Germans as the bad guys. That's a new one, aside from the ten-thousand other WWII movies.
Is U571 inaccurate? Sure, the tale told never happened, and the historical events closest to this tale were done by the British, not the Americans. Does that really matter on a sort of ho-hum movie like this, that few watched, even fewer remember, and nobody thinks is anything but mild entertainment? Nope.
I look forward to your review of Pearl Harbor in 2004, though.

Re:The Review is RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
>I have a 1.47Ghz processor on my K7S5A...
You're lucky then.
These people haven't been so lucky.
This person seemed to think installing a hacked BIOS would solve the problem. It did. A perusal of ECS' site shows they've improved upon PCChips service (they provide BIOS updates for the K7S5A, so I'm assuming they didn't pirate this BIOS, or they've learned to hack it properly), but as of December/January ECS motherboards with the incompatible BIOS were still streaming into the store I worked at. The K7S5A BIOS support page doesn't list a specific 1.4 ghz fix, but it looks like they fixed it just in time for this year (BIOS V.01/11/09). I guess 3 months waiting time isn't too bad.
Perhaps with the BIOS fix this board isn't junk, but long-term reliability is definately not a trait associated with PCChips products, IMHO.
A lack of testing advertised features (and XP support was advertised on these motherboards) is sure proof the company doesn't care for its customers. This occasionally happens to name brand companies (Abit comes to mind) but is, in my opinion, the status quo for PCChips and their cronies. Maybe ECS will eventually escape the bad name of their suppliers -- they are providing far more support for their products than I expected to see.
As with all things, only time will tell. Perhaps in a year or two I might be able to forgive ECS prdocts for being PCChips knockoffs. We'll just have to see! :-)
Anyways,
Whip out that soldering iron and fix it yourself the manual way if you choose.
The FAQ will probably help explain this problem better than myself. -
Old news.
Collaborative fiction has been going on for years on the web, in various forms. For example, this
Transformers based RPG I write on. From what I can tell (couldn't get very far into all the self-indulgent writing on The Therapist) the site Katz mentions mainly succeeds because it has a more accessable topic to the casual random websurfer than, say, a Transformers rpg. However, it seems to me very light on the "collaborative" aspect. The patients only talk directly to the therapist, which might be less confusing for the reader than having them talk to each other, but I find a lot more dull from a writer's standpoint.
As something that wakes people up to the possibilities of collaborative fiction and art, good site. As actual collaborative fiction, not as good. Perhaps, though, that people are noticing is a good sign for this kind of work in general.
Oh, and a few good points about collaborative fiction that I'm almost surprised Katz missed-
1. Breaks down the barrier between artist and audience (a key feature of "New Media", and one of those things the MPAA/RIAA are deathly afraid of)
2. A great way to improve your writing skills- you'd be surprised how much more actually writing with other writers (many who are better than you) helps than the traditional proofreading/critique/editing process. -

Re:Final Fantasy Unlimited
In IGN's coverage [ign.com], they speculate that the new game will be Final Fantasy Unlimited, based on the anime.
Be wary of this speculation from IGN because apparently FFU has flopped and will be cancelled in Japan later this month. They will have had a 25 episode run but were originally scheduled for around 52. I watched a few fansubs, and while the show is alright, it is definitely not great. The enviornment also was not very suitable for a game IMO. -
Elementary my dear Watson, Mac Fansare attracted because the whole format is different from the standard PC. Just because it isn't Microsoft controlled (yet) and offers an alternative, it gets some people that way.
Another way is that people are looking for the simple solution. Sort of the same reason why Fast Food joints do so well, because they provide a simple service and a simple product. Granted your average Fast Food buyer doesn't know how to grill a hamburger or make their own meal or maybe is too busy to do so, still if they can get something easier, then it is worth it to them to let someone else cook for dinner. The same with Macs, why fudget about the system, when the mac is easier to use and set up?
Another is the cult status, Apple has those fancy models with translucent plastic. Apple has OSX now, hey look it is based on Unix and MacOS! Now you can get an iPod!
Also, they got a lockdown on the education market. If your school uses Macs, chances are you will want to buy one.
Plus a lot of Macs are used for creative content, mostly web pages and web graphics, so more Mac people are on the Internet percentage-wise than PC users.
It costs more than a PC, but the Mac Fan feels he/she will pay more to get the better and easier to use product.
To sum it all up, they drank the Kool-Aid.
