  1. A Small "Victory"... by Monthenor · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Rockstar Censors GTA After Haitian Outcry
    ...but we still get to kill Cubans, right? Their lobby must not be as televised^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H powerful.

    Seriously, though, we should really be more concerned about the rampant genocide already present in gaming culture.

    One last thing: why is the "strike" tag not supported? I can't be the only one sick of seeing ^Hs.

  2. GameFly by Monthenor · · Score: 1 · on Best Netflix-Like Videogame Rental Service?
    Fifteen minutes from sign-up to "we're shipping that game you wanted". I live in Fargo, so turnaround is about a week from sending a game to getting the next, but damn if they don't beat the selection of this entire town put together.

    They...they shall finally unite me with PaRappa 2. And there shall be a reckoning, for the kicking and punching is all in the mind.

    Dark Merger: A Ten-Part Tale of GerbilMechs, Patents, and Dreade Majicks. It's funny 'cause it's true.

    Can anyone hope to stop the Bezos juggernaut? Unprofitability and prior art sure can't...

  6. Gerbil Acne? by Monthenor · · Score: 1, Offtopic · on Overwhelmingly Large Telescope Closer to Reality

    I'd just like to say that gerbils don't get acne. And I should know. Such a discovery would, of course, rock the scientific world to its frightened little core, but I don't believe it will happen in our lifetime.

  7. Re:Sometimes the problem solves itself... by Monthenor · · Score: 2 · on Universities Creating Computer Discipline Offices
    I smell the faint scent of troll, but it may be from that "hypocrisy" jab from the Israeli...

    There is certainly no "legitmate" reason why anyone would come in at non-peak hours and reposition the monitor to a convienient viewing angle

    You're right. Most people doing that at 3AM are playing games :P

    Pray tell, why exactly is viewing porn considered an ethics violation at your lab?

    Well, pr0n and mp3z and e-harassment etc. are against the university computer policy, especially if done on the public lab computers. Not my rules.

    Face it, you're just another tech staffer who feels power in his belly and likes the taste of it too much.

    Huh? I suppose technically I'm a "tech staffer", although my actual job is writing Java for geologists. I just heard about this story from friends who work the clusters here, and it amused me. And that feeling in my belly is probably steak.
