    Oh no! It contains Milk and Nuts!

    NOOO! NOT MILK AND NUTS!!

    And of course there will be three models...Wisdom (low-end consumer), Courage (high-end consumer), and Power (arcade). SLIing all three will open the door to the Holy Realm of Gaming Goodness.

    And as long as it doesn't come with a #^*%(@#^$ Navi Office Helper, I'll put my money behind them.

    "Link! It looks like you're working on a resume! Would you like to know their weakness? Look! Look!"

    Ok, that was lame. But not as lame as this cheap shot at Nintendo.

  3. A precursor by Monthenor · · Score: 2 · on Ballmer, Gates on Microsoft's Future

    These days I'm more worried about the possibility of Time Warner/America OnLine buying out the rest of Amazon.com than MS pulling PR moves. I believe TW'AOLzon is referenced somewhere as a Great Old One.

    But all this shareholder crap is just a smoke screen for the coming .NET takeover. Don't let down your guard!! My CS buddies and I were at UIUC (sponsored by M$ this year) and we *still* aren't sure what .NET is. I half-jokingly believe that MS doesn't actually *have* .NET specs created yet. They fed the parameters for what .NET was supposed to be into XML and gave it a database of all current programming languages. It's parsing their "strategy" right now. After giving it a cup of really strong hot tea, of course ;)

    Without a doubt, the online news story that has had the most impact on my life in the past year has been Surviving the Boy Band and its subsequent fallout in the form of TERVOR PENICK ISNT DED AND U R DUM!: A Learned Treatise on Stupid People Who Speak Their Mind .

    Not that I'm conceited or anything.

  7. Don't underestimate the AOLer... by Monthenor · · Score: 5 · on Typosquatting Held Illegal
    I'm sure there'll be plenty of comments here about people not realizing they've mistyped the URL...but what about people who don't even visit the site? For example, my Post Cereal Online article at gogeek.org didn't raise the furor that Surviving the Boy Band did (and does), but one person emailed me to complain about some Raisin Bran. Now, does http://www.gogeek.org look anything like the actual Post site? No. I finally determined that this person had typed something akin to "Post Cereal Online" in a search engine (we're #5 for that search on Google :) and simply taken my email addy from the abstract. We can pass all the laws and make all the precedent we want, but we can't possibly make the Net safe for people as ignorant as that.

    Even scarier, said person appeared to be using a military (Air Force) account...

  9. Uh oh... by Monthenor · · Score: 1 · on Intellectual Property and a Censored Slash Site?
    The new student administration here at NDSU wants to start something similar, with student opinions of teachers, courses, and texts...I hope nobody starts flaming it and causes something like this.

    BTW, the site is scheduled to go up at Bisonpride.com, under the watchful eye of gogeek.org

    Heh, we yanked the URL right out from under them...

    As a hardcore gamer with little to no interest in politics, I have to point something out. As I read further into the article, I realized that this technology has one application that wasn't mentioned: making FMV games that don't suck!!

    And it's about time, too.
