  1. Re:Will be watching Dark Star again on Alien Screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, Dead At 63 · · Score: 1

    His work was awesome and it will be a shame that he's gone. I've just watched Alien the other night.

    Unfortunately I watched the rest of the Quadrilogy, including resurrection for the first time. I think my brain melted half way through that one.

  2. Re:My heart goes out to him... on Alien Screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, Dead At 63 · · Score: 1

    Did you not see the end of Fight Club? It's not nice if you fuck it up.

  3. Re:Unfortunate on Alien Screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, Dead At 63 · · Score: 1

    I agree. I think Avatar is going to be the most overrated movie for sometime. That happens with a lot of Cameron's movies.

  4. Was it from chest pains? on Alien Screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, Dead At 63 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Someone had to ask it.

  5. Re:Nothing outrageous... on Charities Upset Over Chase Facebook Contest · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Remove them from the beginning rather than letting them think they have a chance.

  6. Re:Pro-"Choice" on Charities Upset Over Chase Facebook Contest · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Like anything, both sides are filled with extremist assholes.

  7. Re:Meh on Google Open Sources Etherpad, Piratepad Launches · · Score: 1

    Or it can be the other way around and MS' awful little OneNote can do the work to conform with others.

  8. Re:Wow! This blows me away. on Google Open Sources Etherpad, Piratepad Launches · · Score: 2

    Correct. Even MS, for example, could set up a Hotmail wave service. Wave is simply a protocol. http://www.waveprotocol.org/

  9. Re:For the unititiated... on Google Open Sources Etherpad, Piratepad Launches · · Score: 1

    If babelfish is anything to go by then you should be lucky it got that close.

  10. Re:Monopoly or not. on Psystar Not Closing Up Shop · · Score: 1

    I think you want the Tiger Woods forum

  11. Re:Monopoly or not. on Psystar Not Closing Up Shop · · Score: 1

    That would possibly change if they allowed you to install OSX on anything.

  12. No SSD no interest on First Look At Latest Ion-Infused Asus Eee PC · · Score: 1

    It will waste more battery power and more prone to problems when being moved about. If I want an hard drive, I'll get a full blown laptop.

  13. Re:Wait for it... on Google Found Guilty of French Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    No surprise this is modded Flamebait but it's spot on.

    As some of you may remember there was a article here about a country that set up a site to start selling US movies and music online without permission because the US was fucking them over and they decided to get payback.

  14. Re:Really impressive on Google Found Guilty of French Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    I've been to France quite often, and on most of my visits I did not speak a word of French. I was never subject to any ridicule, but I never expected anyone to speak more English or Finnish then I spoke French. I understand somebody could have bad luck and meet an asshole, but if everybody you meet are assholes you should look in the mirror for a cause.

    Most people go to Paris and Parisians can be very rude which is completely unexpected from a big city. Everyone in London, New York and L.A. come off as people you'd find running a little "Mom & Pop" store in the country.

  15. Re:Really impressive on Google Found Guilty of French Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    The French are often very nice and easy to get along with so I'm cool with them. But like any other group, some individuals are nice and some aren't.

    The US, unfortunately, kept a hold of the islander mentality that the English have so many of them are afraid of anything different.

  16. Re:Really impressive on Google Found Guilty of French Copyright Infringement · · Score: 3, Insightful

    1) It hard to "speak with people" who insist that everyone speak perfect French or be subject ridicule, especially when you don't speak French.

    You mean like the numerous Americans and English who mock immigrants who don't speak perfect English even though the immigrant knows two or three languages and the native English speaker can only (if lucky) manage one?

  17. nazi-like on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 1

    Yet I want this "No fat chicks" edition of the 360.

  18. Re:Meh. Call me when they've stopped keyword spam on Yes, Google Does De-List Pages; But When? · · Score: 1

    Yes, please!

    I do like that you can remove a site from results which I've used to remove those god awful rose india sites that pop-up in Java results. But then you slightly tweak your search and the site is back in that result. I'd love to just wipe sites completely from all searches.

  19. Why Jew? on Yes, Google Does De-List Pages; But When? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And not kike? Or for that matter, nigger, faggot and chink. None of these hold that warning and yet they're more likely to produce "distributing" results.

  20. Re:Man, If I had a nickle... on US McDonald's Wi-Fi Going Free In January · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The Japanese girls going to the language schools seem to love McDonalds wifi. They're the only reason to walk into a McDonalds.

  21. Re:Burger King is still better on US McDonald's Wi-Fi Going Free In January · · Score: 1

    It's these sort of statements to show who has eaten real fries and who hasn't. McDonalds fries are the best of worst perhaps.

  22. Point & Click programming on Has a Decade of .NET Delivered On Microsoft's Promises? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People like .Net because MS offers tools to allow point & click programming. This means more people can do it and companies can lower wages.

    That is one big reason not to support it. We don't need more shitty software that people don't understand how they've created it.

  23. Re:Java too complex on Has a Decade of .NET Delivered On Microsoft's Promises? · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's the idea behind JavaFX.

  24. Good idea but won't happen on Firefox Mobile Threatens Mobile App Stores, Says Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Like Apple will allow them on the iPhone and I doubt it will get me to switch from Google Android browser. I enjoy using the Opera browser for Android sometimes but even that doesn't feel as intuitive. I doubt Firefox will be better.
