  1. Re:No longer associated with BSOD? on Windows Is Dead – Long Live Midori? · · Score: 1

    It's Dantes. Edmond Dantes.

  2. No longer associated with BSOD? on Windows Is Dead – Long Live Midori? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Oh, shut up already. These jokes are getting old and redundant. My Windows XP has not crashed a single time in months. Windows is no longer associated with BSOD.

    Sorry, but Windows will always be associated with BSOD in my mind. I never forgive, and I rarely forget.

  3. Re:If the Scrabulous people have any pride... on Scrabulous Is Dead, Hasbro's Version Brain-Dead · · Score: 1

    Do you really expect the average Facebook luser to understand such legal niceties? That's asking a lot.

    However, in a free country, a business is entitled to shoot themselves in the foot. They can even choose which foot.

    And, in a free country, a business is allowed to decide whether it wants to use a dainty .22 pistol, a .45 semi-auto, or a M-79 40mm grenade launcher. of course, the US isn't exactly a free country any longer, but that's another topic.

  5. No. on Scrabulous Is Dead, Hasbro's Version Brain-Dead · · Score: 0

    I'm not David Byrne. I'm just a long-haired metalhead who grew up listening to his father's Talking Heads records.

  6. Re:If the Scrabulous people have any pride... on Scrabulous Is Dead, Hasbro's Version Brain-Dead · · Score: 1

    If you don't have any pride, life isn't worth living.

  7. You're doing it wrong. on Scrabulous Is Dead, Hasbro's Version Brain-Dead · · Score: 5, Funny

    If these guys can do Scrabble so well, why not encourage them to do other Hasbro games in a way that makes Hasbro money?

    Stop making sense.

  8. If the Scrabulous people have any pride... on Scrabulous Is Dead, Hasbro's Version Brain-Dead · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the people behind Scrabulous have any pride, they'll tell Hasbro to go fuck themselves. They did a better Scrabble than Scrabble, and rather than compete, Hasbro turned to the law.

  9. Re:Opening weekend vs. bootleg copies? on WB Took Pains To "Delay" Pirating of Dark Knight · · Score: 1, Insightful

    But on the opening weekend? It seems like an entirely different experience.

    If I watch a bootleg, I can do it at home and not have to deal with idiot parents who bring their babies and toddlers.

  10. I'm glad the son of a whore is dead. on Spam King and Family Dead In Murder-Suicide · · Score: 1

    Frankly, I'm glad he's dead, and not wasting my tax dollars sitting a 8x10 cell with his dick in his hand. It's unfortunate that, on his way out, he also killed his wife and kids, but you've got to take the good with the bad: one dead spammer, thousands more to go.

  11. If you're worried about EM radiation... on Pittsburgh Cancer Center Warns of Cell Phone Risks · · Score: 1

    ...then you'd better stay out of the sun.

  12. Re:Rent console games before you buy them. on Video Game Movies "Not Creative Expression" · · Score: 1

    Well, there isn't much the console game publishers can do about rentals in the US. Their rights end at first sale, for the most part.

  13. Re:Rent console games before you buy them. on Video Game Movies "Not Creative Expression" · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use GameFly, which works on a Netflix-style model. They have plans where, for a monthly fee, you can have one to four games out at a time. If you like a game, and it's listed as for sale, you can keep buy it used from GameFly. They'll send you the case and the manual. I've done this with Mass Effect and Soul Nomad and the World Eaters (it's Ogre Battle on crack).

    The turn-around time is about five days, in my experience, and once in a while GameFly will send a disk that's had the everloving hell scratched out of it, but GameFly is good about handling defectives. You can report a defective disk at their site, and they'll let you choose between having a new one sent out right away, or having the next game in your queue sent out.

    I don't need to have a point when I'm bored at work and have karma to burn. :)

    I never suggested otherwise.

  16. Re:Wooing the ladies on Putting Fable II Through Its Paces · · Score: 1

    He was. You see, a whole bunch of uptight Christians got butthurt when Kevin McCullough railed against the (incredibly tame) sex scenes in Mass Effect.

  17. Re:Fable 2 is Fable 1 on Putting Fable II Through Its Paces · · Score: 1

    I wasn't impressed by the first Fable, so I'll be renting Fable 2 before I consider buying it. I suspect that Persona 4 will be a more rewarding experience than The Next Peter Molyneaux Game.

  18. Rent console games before you buy them. on Video Game Movies "Not Creative Expression" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Because if gamers saw the actualy game play from the absolute garbage developers are putting out, they'd never buy games.

    This is why I rent console games. If it sucks, I'm out a rental fee. If I like it, I'll send back the rental copy and buy one of my own. Of course, you don't have that option for Wintendo games, but that's not my problem. :)

  19. It's their site. on Video Game Movies "Not Creative Expression" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Vimeo owns the site; they can do what they want with it. What's the big deal?

    Capcom is saving that for Devil May Cry 5.

  21. Re:Oh noes! on World's Oldest Bible Going Online · · Score: 3, Informative

    The word you want for the "semi-official" texts is "apocrypha".

  22. Re:Original on World's Oldest Bible Going Online · · Score: 1

    I won't tell you that you're stupid or crazy for believing in gods. Not when I've prayed to Athena to guide me the last time I fought a mugger. I will say this: I think that if you really want to understand the Word, you can't depend on a translation. If you don't know Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic then you probably don't know what God is really saying.

    My ex did that. It was one of the more trivial reasons for her becoming my ex.

    I've read Donaldson, but not Gene Wolfe.

  25. Re:Neal Stephenson doesn't DO endings. on Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" Due In September · · Score: 1

    Well, at least Stephenson hasn't given any of his villains a name like "Lord Foul". I'd say that's a name out of a Japanese console RPG, but I think Donaldson started writing before the advent of JRPGs.
