  1. Poop! on Consumer Ethanol Appliance Promised By Year's End · · Score: 1

    If we could figure out a way to turn fecal matter into biodiesel, just think of the possibilities for sources...
    Outhouses, sewer treatment plants, and the Republican National Convention could all provide us with cheap, renewable, sources of energy.

    "The first Windows update after I installed XP hosed my network drivers."
    Complete BSOD for me. Apparently the patch didn't like my SATA controller. What a headache.

    There I was, reading your reply and thinking about adding you as a /. friend.

    Then I saw this...

    "that Picard is better than Kirk will ever be?"

    A flying drop kick and a judo chop from Kirk; and Picard would be whining like the aristocrat
    panzy he is. :P

    Because my old tube radios will survive the EMP, I'll still be able to listen to the static.

    How cool(cold) is it, though? My Ionic Pro has a heat signature.

    I did not know these things. But, I'm not a sports fan either. Thanks for the insight.

    Of course not. I'm sure I'm just another ranter to him..

  13. Re:summary wrong on Record Box Office Indicates MPAA 'Piracy Problem' Hot Air · · Score: 1

    Again, a problem with business models. Are the team owners really out to take care of players? If they were, they would have a decent pension. Cheaper than 45 mil over three years.... and then the player gets injured and only plays 6 games. Grrr!

    Heh, The NFL and NBL have been getting their asses handed to them (in ratings) by NASCAR. (which I would imagine pays the drivers/crews considerably less than a first or second round draft pick)
    People are sick of 'roid pumping, drunk driving, overpaid assholes. And it's starting to spill over into other sports and businesses.
    I've even seen some surprising voting trends that reflect this attitude.
    Not to mention... Nicole Kidman's .. last.. movie (if you can call it that).
    Next, I suppose they'll blame poor numbers of the re-re-release of the movie "Ishtar", on Piracy.

  17. Re:summary wrong on Record Box Office Indicates MPAA 'Piracy Problem' Hot Air · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'll tell you the same thing I told U2s manager. Make more than 1 good movie (or song) per year (or album). Sell some bumper stickers. OR some action figures.
    I'd be willing to bet Lucas made more $ from merchandise than from the actual Star Wars movies themselves.
    One of the kids I knew growing up had at least $3000 of Star Wars action figures, models, posters, clothes. And that was in the 80's which translates to some ungodly amount now.
    Again, this is a business model issue, not a Piracy issue. If studios are losing money, then they need to re-examine how much they pay executives and actors. I mean honestly, there is no actor alive that is worth millions of dollars a picture.
    Yeah, I'm kindof a Troll about this. F'ing whiners, the lot of 'em.

  19. Re:This sucks. on D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax Has Passed Away · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I grew up in an orphanage. Playing D&D (frowned upon by the staff and houseparents) was my only escape from farm and school work during those years. It not only helped to enrich my imagination, it gave me the first real life use for the math I was learning in school. And eventually led to my love for computers (since I just had to play this "rogue" game everyone was talking about). For that, I thank the folks over at TSR and Mr. Gygax. Gary, you truly enriched my life then, and your damage system lives on in the RPGs I play today. You will be missed. Though, I'm sure you're rolling a d20 somewhere in the afterlife, even as I write this.

    Fuckin' A. These tactics are hardly worth being called a "hack". Someone needs to spank his little blind ass. Maybe if someone had, he'd fucking know better. If I caught my teen doing this, I'd likely break my foot off in his ass. Li'l SOB, where are your parents? Or are they just hippy/liberal do-gooders as I suspect?
