It's not like these patches are a surprise. When Microsoft said that they were going to work hard to fix up their software everyone scoffed. WHen they do the patches everyone mocks them for having holes in the first place. I use Opera and I don't even bother getting the patches anymore, but I'm glad that they are following through with what they said they would do, even if it's not up to everyone's exacting standards.
You mean, it could transmit anybodies MP3 collection in under a half a second? Does anybody know of a single user with 2TB of MP3s? Is Taco just a bastard who has to interject with personal notes in every news byte?
Taco: just because you created/. doesn't mean that it's your personal site. GO brag about your MP3s where people don't have to see it (especially now that some people are paying money to see it).
So what's the deal? You want his job as chief/. bullshit "artist"? Bottom line: Katz talks out his ass and he's flat out wrong a lot of the time.
Blah blah blah, keep talking, but you're preaching to the choir because I believe the general consensus on/. is that Katz sucks.
I think the coloured beads are so that you can easily see that person's rating according to you. You can quickly browse down and skip all the red bead posts and make sure to read the green beads. It has a purpose.
Commander Taco did actually, I believe that's what the 'CT' denoted in that little correct.
Katz uses big words, but he can't write for shit.
(don't flame me accusing me of the same, I'm not writing reviews and books, asshole)
I'll start at the end first:)
My point was they should probably have realized from the beginning they couldn't develop something like this aboveground, and they are now paying the price for not being a bit more FreeNetish.
They DID in fact know better, and actually claimed that they had struck a deal with FUnimation at one time I believe. There were claims that things were fine, then this shows up much to their chagrin, nice work Chris!
Having some practical experience with Q3 mods, I'll try to explain something. I think you are probably theoretically correct. They could do that and it would work to some extent. However! The boxed editions of Q3A for linux sold poorly, thus Linux is not a very powerful gaming force, thus Windows remains on top of the heap in gaming. What does this mean? All the DIY stuff with putting the game together yourself just ain't gonna happen with Joe. Q Windowsuser. You've gotten Linux on the brain (no offense meant by all this of course) and you're not used to packaging thigns up neatly and tidily for Win users. Sorry if I'm wrong on that, but that's how it seems. This mod wouldn't be half as popular on release if it was distributed in tiny chunks, with users creating hteir own pak files and creating hteir own images... Good in theory, but I don't think it would work for this particular instance.
Lastly, I want to say that they are going to change everything to non-DBZ according to their website, and still have it out in a month. Hrmmm... They miss deadlines a lot, so don't expect this to actually happen so soon.
Funimation blows:)
Hell, he doesn't even have to make a good movie any more and it grosses $430 million
and MAN, was Episode 1 not good! Speaking of rape a few posts back, Episode 1 (and probably 2 as well) was rape of a perfectly good franchise.
Can you GPL graphics and models and sounds? If not, then you'd have nothing to distribute. Code is great and all, but have you ever played Q3 when it's missing textures or models? Ugly. But they'd have to replace all the name references to copyrighted characters as well... a lot of changes overall to make it distributable. I doubt the actual gameplay is anything similar to FUNimation/Infogrames concept for the game, and there can be no copyright violation on gameplay anyhow... but back to my point, I was under the impression that you could GPL code and stuff, not binary iamges and models and sounds. Care to enlighten me?
You can create and distribute anything DBZ related that you want. As soon as you make something that FUNimation wants to make money off of they will say "HEY! Don't do that because you are stealing out profits!" and the C&D letters come out. If you make a winamp skin (aren't all you other/. people linux? I thought I was the only one using winamp =P ) nobody is going to say "Damnit that's 5.4MILLION dollars I'm losing on the winamp skin industry. They signed with Infogrames to make a DBZ game, so BFP is taking their profits, how simple is this? Copyright violation in an easy to swallow capsule!
But FUNimation would go after someone if they distributed a script that they wanted to use. It's all about what FUNimation think they can make money off of that they atack.
That's up for someone else to decide if Funimation decided to pursue copyright violation. This has happened before numerous times before to other mods (most notably to the Quake2 version of Generations). Surprises me to see thsi get any kind of remark on Slashdot since it's a simple issue of copyright violation...
I think it says that caging them up and shooting htem into purple space storms is a Good Thing. I suppose the oppressed geeks were in a much greater supply than apes on the Earth of the future anyway.
Good god, I hadn't thought of that.
Space horses?
Maybe before hte Oberon crash horses were the dominant/only life form on hte planet and they too are enslaved by the apes. Maybe they can talk. Mr. Ed was an alien? It makes as much sense as an ape talking since neither have sophisticated vocal cords that can produce human sounds.
I would have considered it a good movie if Tim Roths (awesome) character had said "Get your hooves off me you damn dirty horse!" at some point.
Imagine a sex scene...
Imagine the public uproar, and how hilarious/amazingly odd it would be to see...
Anybody know if that supposed sex scene was cut out, never filmed, or just an internet rumour? It amuses me to no end.
Orangutangs, chimps, and all those other small monkies/apes are OK. But gorillas? Gorillas have never, to my knowledge, been used in any space program. Groillas would not bloody likely fit into those space pods or into those cages on the Oberon. Yet there they were. The gigantic human population I'll let slide even though it's ridiculous, but I can't excuse the including of a completely unlikely thing like gorillas in this movie/POS.
The original was better, but even without comparison between the two Burton's is bad because it just doesn't make sense. Maybe a litle sense? No, not really.
Gorillas?

Finally, someone who agrees with me! Seriously, I find it hard to believe that all of these supergeeks can't handle some fast paced editing and scene cuts and your Linux hacking uber-brains can't keep track of a dozen characters! This movie was fantastic, but that's my opinion. It was, however, able to be understood and comprehended by even the normal man. The only thing I could understand with this movie was what the fuck those Pikeys were saying, but I found that hilarious.
Anybody know where to get official info on the DVD release so I can keep up to date? I'd really like to have these on DVD as well as realplayer.

The artwork in Ghost In teh Shell was amazing through the whole film. I dunno if you noticed, but they upped the artwork quality by 3 fold whenever she was naked. That team had their priorities:)
You can check out teh series called Berzerk. The Dreamcast game "Sword of Berzerk: Guts' Rage" is based on teh series, but since teh gameplay didn't sound too thrilling I urge that you don't base an opinion on the game. The series is very, very cool and it's worth checking out for any anime fan. Try to find a fansubbed episode in realplayer format just to take a look. BTW, generally he is called Gatts, not Guts.
I don't think it gets much better than Kenshin. The action, the stories, the characters, and don't even try to forget the music. Kenshin is my favorite anime series and I've only seen the fansubs. I personally recomend the Shinsen Gumi's subtitles because I like their spelling conventions.
I found this kind of funny since me and my friend had been saying "Worst episode ever" all the time since the comic book store guy on the Simpsons said it a few weeks back. Now, just an hour after the Simpsons time slot the worst Xfiles ep rears it's ugly head.
Who's fault was it that the Lone Gunmen were talking about messing with the 'circuitry' (AKA the power cables of a hard drive) of one computer which was supposedly still on? I found a lot of that stuff insulting!
