No, kahn played Lily Von Schtoop, the German singer. Hedley was Harvey Korman's villain. In this context (the real hedy being a beautiful actress), I guess it's easy to mistake the roles:).
And not only that, but didn't he (played by Harvey Korman, btw) have a problem with everyone always pronouncing his name "Hedy"? I always thought that was funny, but never really understood it until today. I'm guessing that it was homage, as Mel Brooks seemed to be celebrating classic Hollywood nonstop in his movies of the '70s.
Well, Mr. Coward, besides marking yourself as an ignorant homophobe, you have also shown your ignorance by libeling a well-known and respected gaming site that happens to be offering a deal on the *ACTUAL QUAKE 3 BOX* with Gamedealer.com. Of course, if you'd have followed the link in the post you'd responded to, you'd know all this.
When I first saw Tughouse, I thought it was kind of funny, even though the art sucks. However, I changed my mind quickly when I found the link to Sluggy Freelance and realized that Tughouse blatantly ripped off all its funny ideas from there. Think about it: evil housepet that plots against its owner, demons are often involved, etc. The whole "trip to Hell" storyline, for example, is taken directly from Sluggy's first Dimension of Pain story. Not to mention the demonic summonings at the beginning of the strip's run, the reactions when a woman entered the strip... I could go on. My advice to the Tughouse author: get some ideas of your own, man! Sluggy's good, but don't plagiarize, for cring out loud.
Even if it could, it won't. According to the latest issue of Linux Journal, which had a feature on different distributions' stances on the LSB, Red Hat seems to be more in favor of complete compliance than most. Also, a Debian rep in the article said that Red Hat had been working with them since before LSB to ensure binary compatibility between the distributions. Also, I'm pretty sure that Red Hat has stated that it will be following Debian's lead standards-wise. Red Hat knows that so many of the people in the Linux community have their eyes on them that the company doesn't dare to do anything wrong. And with tools like rpm 2cpio and Alien, and with RPM being completely open and based on cpio, the packaging system is irrelevant. It looks like just a brain-damaged move on Metrowerk's part. And off the top of my head, I can think of five or six major distributions, and except for Slackware, they all seem like they work pretty well together. Makes me wonder if they were including Tom's RTBT and Trinux in their list of 39 distributions:).
Jon, I may not always agree with your posts, but generally, they do seem like there's some thought put into them. However, your recent postings have had sort of a "knee-jerk" quality about them, especially this one. I hate to point this out, but the Star Wars series has always been inherently commercial. I remember when I was little, Star Wars stuff was everywhere. Toys, restaurant promotions (yeah, they had them then, too), kids books, comics, etc., etc. There has been no selling out, just an increase in demand and the media rising to that demand. And the movies themselves are very much geared towards manipulating the audience also. Even the merest concession to reality, the explosions in space thing, was ignored by Lucas. When scienc-fiction writer and movie novelizer Alan Dean Foster was talking to Lucas about this issue, pointing out that you cannot hear explosions in space (so the story goes), Lucas said that the explosions were there because people wanted to hear explosions. Lucas has always been out to manipulate people like this, and the current hype is just an extension of this. And since you admit to not having seen the movie yet, how can you say that it is lacking in the mythical quality? If anything, so far it looks like the acting, writing, and effects are all vastly better in this movie than the three previous ones. Plus, there's no Mark Hamill, so that's a good thing. Really, Jon, you'd get a much better reception if you would just think things through before you stick them up on the Web.
Lovely, a few years from now Gore will feal justified in taking credit for open source. You think Stallman's pissed now, wait 'till this happens. By the way, does ESR know about this yet? I'm wondering if this site fits the Open SOurce Definition;).
I've got to agree. There's not a mention of retirement in this whole essay. Reads more like, "if you think you can do all this better than me, then do it". And judging from some of the responses that I've read here, all of ESR's venom seems justified. When I first read the "resignation letter", I had a good chuckle, but after the Slashdot response, the dead seriousness underlying the humor is pretty obvious.
Playstation emulation. I think I read something a while ago about Apple installing either a new drive for N64 carts or PSX support in Macs... I guess they chose the latter.

No, you got that reversed... Id made it for Apogee, not the other way around.

"Talking Moon" as translation for Redmond... I like it! Appropriate, too, seeing as how Microsoft talks out of its ass so often! ;)
Gee, I thought it was a happy ending...
Named after a coffee shop? I think not. I just assumed that it was named after the character from Battlestar Galactica.
