  1. Re:Blender was Fantastic on NaN Closes Shop, The End of Blender? · · Score: 1

    (note: this is _not_ intended to be a troll or a flame)
    5 hours
    I got the hang of 3D studio max in 1... I _still_ haven't gotten used to blender, and i've tried it on and off for several years
    and how is an "extrude" feature innovative? every single modeler i've ever used has an "extrude" feature. And they've been around a lot longer than blender.

  2. Re:How Are These Anime-Based? on US Army to Try Out New, Anime-based Uniforms · · Score: 1

    Except when the evangelion goes berserk and starts eating things ^_^

  3. Re:ID Card Threat? on Hong Kong Gets Smart ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Yes, but I think he's also talking about writing the software to make the car and the reader communicate, along with notifying your friendly neighborhood gestapo of what your doing with your car.

  4. Re:Does it seem on Mozilla 0.9.9 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, the circuit city i go to has several Linux boxes (Compaqs i think, running RedHat)

  5. Wow.. on GTK+ 2.0 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I tried the devel branch for 2.0 not too long ago, it turned out to be hideously unstable... have they really fixed all of those bugs in such a short period of time?

  6. Re:Free Artistry on Is The Net At Fault For Illegal Filesharing? · · Score: 1

    If the artists and the public agreed to remove the greedy middleman, then the problem would be resolved.

    The reason the RIAA & MPAA exist are for the greedy companies (Record Labels, Movie Studios) and artists (Metallica, Britney Spears, etc) to make more $$$

    If you want to destroy the MPAA & RIAA, you'll have to convince artists to care more about the art than the money, live without being signed onto the greedy multi-billion dollar companies (to which the artists are nothing more than monkeys dancing for nickels), and not expect to 'make it' and live in a $2 million mansion for the rest of their lives...

  7. Re:Dub vs. Sub. on New Anime Block Starts Tonight Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    Probably less than hiring a staff to translate/englishify (Direct translations can be horrible and make little sense, this accounts for common phrases & slang) and then hire people to do the voice acting.

    Or you can simply have some guy type up a translated version and splice that into the video

  8. Re:Dub vs. Sub. on New Anime Block Starts Tonight Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    They could always just use subtitles that are part of the main video stream -- The Iron Chef does this when the main person (forgot his name) is speaking, although the rest of the characters are dubbed over

  9. Re:reasons for anime? on New Anime Block Starts Tonight Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    What about Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost In the Shell, and Serial Experiments Lain?

  10. Warcraft III Anyone? on Blizzard Rains on Bnetd Project · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps the _REAL_ reason they did this was because of Warcraft III Beta.... Since W3 is Battle.net only, It doesn't make sense to give copies to all your friends... they can use up your cd key (and since there's only 5000 copies, Blizzard likely has a list of all valid keys making a keygen futile)

    Now with this bnetd, you can copy your Warcraft III Beta CD over and over again and simply play on your LAN or any bnetd server

    With that in mind, Blizzard probably should have gone a different route then using the DMCA

  11. Re:I was just saying the other day on More Media Consolidation Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Score:0 Troll

    It's called _SARCASM_
    HAHA
    funny
    laugh

  12. Re:About 20-40 billion smackers? on Be Sues Microsoft for Violations of Antitrust Laws · · Score: 1

    If PC makers such as Dell and Compaq where able to say, "Look at this BeOS RUnning on our new XL-eron 800 pc, it runs better than windows blah blah blah" then maybe developers of pro audio equipment would take notics

  13. Re:Bollocks on HP Selling Systems With Linux · · Score: 1

    Play Diablo II?

  14. Re:Good for some, nightmare for others on Peek-a-Boo(ty) · · Score: 1

    No, employees spending the time that their getting paid anywhere from $6-$60 an hour for are using it to surf pr0n.
    plus there's always the threat of getting a sexual harrassment suit filed.

  15. linux? on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 2, Interesting

    it runs on linux?
    isn't Bungie a MS-owned company (i belive they were bought out so that Halo would go on X-Box)

  16. Re:Directions for Id on Carmack: Lord of the Games · · Score: 1

    um, Maybe they just like First-Person shooters? I also think that making quake III without the traditional single-player campaign was a gamble.

  17. Maya = $$$$$$ on Finale for Final Fantasy Studio · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yeah, and i belive they bought 200 copies of Maya Unlimited, which goes for around $16,000 a copy... 200x16000=$3,200,000 - ouch! (unless they got some kind of bulk licsence deal, even then it would still be expensive)

  18. MacSlash on Macintosh Clustering · · Score: 1

    Oh lookie, Mac Slash has been slashdotted.

  19. Re:Waaah!!! it's a kernel patch Waaaahhh!!! on Kernel 2.5.3 Released · · Score: 1

    It is? I don't see any "News for Linux Nerds" text on the site.... I guess they better stop posting FreeBSD articles

  20. Re:Australian Cousumers: 0, Video Rental Business: on Australia Rules DVD's are Films, Not Software · · Score: 1
    * DVDs are more prone to deterioration (being very vulnerable to scratches) and so will not allow as many rentals before requiring replacement.
    No way, VHS wears down after repeated viewings, DVD's don't as long as long as there cared for (just put them in the case!)
  21. Re:Harrison Ford? on 'Indiana Jones 4' Finally A Go · · Score: 1

    That really sucks that they changed it because making the terrorists middle-eastern would be too "politically incorrect" in these "sensitive times"

  22. Re:THE MATRIX OF ANIME??!! on NY Times on Anime · · Score: 1

    Calm down there cowboy, I was just saying that i find the general style of the two films to be similar.

  23. Re:I recognize that I don't know anime very well . on NY Times on Anime · · Score: 1

    let's see
    Cowboy bebop: Reminds me alot of the Han Solo side of star wars, you know, space ships, bounty hunters
    Ghost In the shell: I would call this "The matrix of anime"
    Evangelion: Sci-Fi, very good, giant robots and stuff
    Serial Experiments Lain: more psychological thriller, i haven't seen much ov it

  24. Re:I recognize that I don't know anime very well . on NY Times on Anime · · Score: 1

    Cowboy bebop, evangelion, Ghost in The shell, Princess Monoke, FuriKuri (a.k.a FLCL), Serial Experiments Lain

  25. Re:3.x on Xfree86 4.2.0 Out · · Score: 1

    It's probably worth upgrading, you can probably find a TNT2 for $25 dollars somewhere
