    Or "Clones Gone Wild".

  2. Re:hmm... on Share The Pi! · · Score: 2

    No point other than karma whoring off of lame jokes about DeCSS (repeated at least 50 times per Pi story), no.

  3. Re:The only thing I'm waiting for... on Intel To Drop Rambus Exclusivity, Support SDRAM · · Score: 2

    The first boards will be showing up in August.

  4. Re:Eh? on Pillars Underwater · · Score: 1

    And notice after the setup for "I speak Atlantean"... the fuckers ordering the food UNDERSTAND AND SPEAK ENGLISH. Damn, I hate McDonalds.

  5. Blender Question on The Blender Book · · Score: 1

    Does this book show you how to export blender files to a useful format, such as 3DS?

  6. Re:What are the ethical implications here? on BoyCott Advance · · Score: 1

    The authors have no rights. They signed them away when they agreed to perform work for hire. The "author's baby" arguement is purely emotional, and does not make sense.

  7. Re:Way off base on The Presidents Technical Advisor · · Score: 1

    Libertarians can be bought just like Republicrats.

  8. Re:Destination games... on Garriott Brothers Return to Gaming · · Score: 1

    Note to moderators: It's the Garriott brothers that deserve the +Funny, not the above poster who simply stated the obvious.

  9. Re:Remember DeCSS? on Linux and Shrek · · Score: 1

    No, "Free if you use it like I say you should and not any other way" is exactly what GNU/Linux and the GPL is all about. "Free" is something like the BSD license.

  10. Re:Final Fantasy blows this away... on Linux and Shrek · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you should have finished reading his whole comment before jumping in, trying to look smart or geek-chic by correcting his mistake.

  11. Oops. on Why Aren't You Using An OODMS? · · Score: 1

    Guess my ranting overrided (OO pun! HOORAY!) my Simpsons attention.

    I'm fired... arn't I.


    You should be, if you're a software engineer. If you're just a code monkey then it doesn't really matter as you don't create the design, just bang out code from a specification.

  13. Re:Stop, wait, don't flame. on Remote 'Root' Exploit in IIS 5.0 · · Score: 1

    Change that to "Large, complex programs written in languages like C are subject to buffer overruns", and I'll both agree and point out why I don't like crufty old languages.

  14. Re:smart trolls on 1TB In A Cubic Centimeter · · Score: 1

    "New smart trolls"? Trolls have been getting +5 forever.

  16. Re:laws / society / trust on MPAA Goes After Gnutella · · Score: 2

    So civil rights protection is the 60s was not useful legislation?

  17. Re:Victim of the Economy on How Long Can The Free Services Stay Free? · · Score: 1

    Developers usually don't reply as AC.

  18. Re:MY Question and comments on How Long Can The Free Services Stay Free? · · Score: 1

    Or parents buys a game for a birthday/christmas/whatever present. The kids figure out what they want by reading the free game sites, which don't necessarily have to be contant promoters of any piece of crap like the big, secure, ad-based or magazine-backed commercial sites. The parents probably don't want to shell out $5 or more a month just so their kids can find out what to spend another $50 on.

    Either fight to change the system or move.

  20. Re:dvoraks head on Calling Out TiVo · · Score: 1

    No, he's quite intelligent. He's a master troll, and he's bringing in the ad impressions. Now, if A - C were about him not being a moron but about him being a jackass, well, that's a different situation.

    D: Trying to stir up page-hits.

  23. Re:Rights do not change...EVER on How Corporate Lobbyists Colonized the Net · · Score: 2

    If you give up the idea of rights and accept whatever society does, then society is free to create laws that punish mass murderers because the majority feels that it is ethical.

  24. Re:Victim of the Economy on How Long Can The Free Services Stay Free? · · Score: 2

    Developers usually have a LOT of stuff being used on their computer at once: compilers/IDEs, several browser instances, help files, flowchart/modeling/UML tools, email, various utilities (internal development programs, version control, third-party stuff, release utiltiies, etc). We're shoving internal company data all around. Faster computers, more memory, larger monitors, and faster networks dramatically increase our productivity.

    Now, the place for the older machines is in the testing department. The testers are supposed to reflect a selection of supported customer configurations, so thats where the minimum system requirements boundary should be tested. It is far, far easier to tone down an application developed on a high-end machine than to build up an application on old hardware.

    Well, the majority of gamers are kids, and the majority of kids either do not have jobs that pay enough to spend money on a game news site or just do not have jobs at all. So, you're message to them was basically that you are shutting them out.
