  1. Re:Cut Scene Overkill!! on Review: Dragon Age: Origins · · Score: 1

    I know the feeling. I was playing Metal Gear Solid 4, the first I had ever played, and the shear number of cut scenes really got to me. During one, which seemed interminable, I thought, "hell with it" and went outside and smoked a cigarette. Upon returning, the cut scene was STILL going. A minute or two later, it finally finished. "Thank God!" The next thing in the game, I hardly need to tell you. It was another cut scene. I brought the game into GameStop for trade in. I simply got sick of it.

    I need to go to the doctor. Send me your credit card number or I will have the government send armed men to your house to throw you into a cage until you comply.

    No need for the joystick. The mouse already has one.

  4. Re:Professionalism on Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Rule 1: blame the user." /me sheepishly raises his hand.

    I had forgotten that I had started using Grub 2 at some point. The upgrade instructions did mention that, I think, update-grub had to be run manually.

    I passed right over it.

    There was some audio funkiness, though. All sorted out because of something I did. I have no idea what though. I think it is PulseAudio thing... it usually is.

    Windows Direct X 11 and X Windows 11... there are going to be some very confused noobz in the near future.

  6. Re:I wish the system could do something good for o on Telco Sues City For Plan To Roll Out Own Broadband · · Score: 1

    Killing people before they can do anything whatsoever will prevent them from future crime, true.

    Judge Death, from 2000AD, had a simple argument to this effect: Crime is committed by the living. Kill all of the living and you eliminate all crime.

  7. Re:But, but but... on According to Linus, Linux Is "Bloated" · · Score: 1

    One of the reasons that I like Linux is that they will actually name a document "Stable API Nonsense"

  8. Re:Kirby was not involved in Spider-man on Jack Kirby Heirs Reclaim Marvel/Disney Rights · · Score: 1

    Lee was the driving force behind the character. That's plainly obvious from the wikipedia article you cited. Lee went to Kirby and Kirby came up with "Captain America with cobwebs", which was not what Lee was looking for. Ditko was responsible for giving the visual to the ordinary teen with superpowers. Kirby had no input into the character that appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15.

    Kirby was awesome. His style defines superhero action comics to this day. He just didn't have anything to do with the Spider-Man that hit the shelves.

  9. Re:PC gaming is dead on Linux Port For id's Tech 5 Graphics Engine Unlikely · · Score: 1

    I'm a Linux and OpenBSD user and I bought a PS3 as well. Oddly enough, this one time gaming enthusiast now plays little at all because I hate console controls and I hate dealing with Windows (for which I do not have a license to use anymore) more than I like gaming. So I now don't game much at all.

  10. Re:Lets Start a Programming Gang! on Games Fail To Portray Gender and Ethnic Diversity · · Score: 1

    Bloods vs Crips vs Latin Kings... I think we have a best selling game franchise right there.

  15. How about... on Sony's New Development Strategy For the PSP · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Focus on improving the PSP's abilities rather than spend all their time trying to cripple the functionality other people have given to it?

  16. Re:Think about this on British Men Jailed For Online Hate Crimes · · Score: 1

    I's sorry that you are senseless, but any law which prima facie is neutral but is de facto oppressive is oppressive. See poll taxes and literacy tests.

    It is simply a method of suppression of those opposition voices which you endorse. You are a totalitarian or, in the language of leftists, a fascist.

    The suppression of opposition voices.

    "Totalitarian would have one and only one viewpoint."

    That was the goal.

    And how was the Fairness Doctrine used? To suppress the opposition.

    Bill Ruder: "We had a massive strategy to use the fairness doctrine to challenge and harass the right-wing broadcasters, and hope the challenge would be so costly to them that they would be inhibited and decide it was too expensive to continue."

    Totalitarian liberalism at work.

  21. Re:whats the crime in hate crime? on British Men Jailed For Online Hate Crimes · · Score: 1

    "Though the US version seems ripe for abuse"

    All hate crimes are not treated as hate crimes in the US. It is far less likely for blacks attacking whites while chanting race hate slogans to be charged with a hate crime than the other way around.

    I heard about that... that's some scary shit. Like how if you breath it, it will kill you damn fast. Apparently it feels a lot like drowning.
