  3. SM3 :: Super Happy Zone on NES PC · · Score: 2, Funny

    Way back when -- in my "band" days I wrote a song called Super Happy Zone which is what we called the sections where Mario/Luigi would jump into the coins.

    The singer told me (later) that the song had all this meaning for him and he thought it was a really amazing piece of occult writing and that I must have read a lot of Crowely (who I only knew by reference through Jimmy Page and Ozzy) to have so carefully written an ode to some God or another.

    When I told him it was about Super Mario Bros he laughed nervously and ran out of the house.

    Haven't seen him since I swear!

    OS X _needs_ Perl, OS X does not need FINK.

    Clearly the Virex Developers have screwed up by using FINK derived libraries, but I agree with AC I much prefer a working Perl to a broken Perl and a working FINK.

    Virex Developers should fix this.

    I like Perl more than I like Fink.

    Fink effs up Perl.

    Think I am a troll? Think I suck? Check the macosx mail list on Perl.Org to see a lot of other trolls and suckers.

    As far as I am concerned Virex is doing its job.

  13. Well this would eventually happen anyway... on AOL Not Alone In Subscriber Decline · · Score: 1

    The number of people who need their hands held to surf the web is in the decline.

    Plus kids are already "comfy" on the web so we'll see even further declines.

    Sadly, for parents too busy* to monitor their children's internet access AOL et al wasn't a bad product.

    * Just becuase someone doesn't monitor their children's internet access doesn't automatically relegate them into the BAD PARENT bin, but it is a really good indicator *

  14. Seriously... on Ask Internet Expert Dave Barry · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You kinda suck. You spent 2 years bitching about your wife and her not wanting anymore kids. Then you divorced her. That sucked. Your boring craptacular life made for a sucky sitcom and probably ruined Harry Anderson's already beleaguered career.

    That being said:

    Does it bother you that you probably caused Harry Anderson's cancer?

It is poorly designed, has massive security holes and listen I know this will sound crazy, but it all reports to a central MySQL Database! And listen this whole Linux thing, it's a ruse! It's just more MS crap they are beta testing. Now listen, everyone just go buy a Mac and a copy of Lotus Notes and everything will be OK. Thank you and good night."

    An applicant with a CNE. MCSE, CCNA, A+, Solaris, CLP kinda scares me. Why have you been spending so much money to prove your salt?

    I also DO NOT hold and MCSE against people. So you went for a cert, and got it good for you. I personally have a CNA, CNE, CLP and Solaris. Each time they were gotten to "show" I had chops in the respective fields.

  22. Re:11 minutes later on S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse · · Score: 1

    It's dead baby shit because it is blatant bullshit propaganda. It is a number that is entirely unprovable. It is a number decided on by people whose agenda ia also bullshit.

    My son and his coming sibling will undoubtedly go through the liberal phase you're currently stuck in but they won't blame their country for every Godforsaken problem the World has. They'll have the brains to think for themselves and not believe the talking heads on TV.

    You need to look around you and see what is going on. The US Government is not your enemy.

  23. Re:11 minutes later on S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse · · Score: 2

    I do know that US-foreign policy towards Iraq (the prevents even humanitarian aid) has contributed to the deaths of over 500,000 children. It's not spectacular, you won't see it on TV (unlike the World Trade Center), but it's still happening, in a slow and calculated way (which strikes me as evil). If 9/11 pisses you off, how do you feel about that?

    If America suddenly had a food shortage or whatever what kind of aid do you think Iraq qould give us.

    Being the world's big brother is a two way street. If the US is going to give aid to countries then it is involved in those countries. If those countries are going to act aggressively towards us then they will be sanctioned. You can't go around begging and then attack the people who gave you alms. For all the 500,000 dead baby shit we hear about no one seems to care that Iraqis do a fine job of offing one another over there. But I suppose the US is to blame for that too.

    The US just isn't the big bad you want it to be. Do you know how I can tell? People who immigrate here tend to stay here. In fact there doesn't seem to be any mass exodus to Canada or Mexico from the US. If we're so effing horrible why do people keep coming here?

    Ah. Hitler also believed that war was the natural state of man, and brought out the best in a nation. That killed 6 million Jews, and an equal number of homosexuals, gypsies, and other "undesirables".

    Ok first Hitler bad. Not a fan. I'm already a bad guy becuase I don't believe in the Liberal agenda more than I believe in the Conservative agenda, I don't want you all screaming I'm a NAZI on top of that.

    So according to your figures puppetman 12 million people were killed in the Holocaust; yes? The number has fluctuated greatly over the years and what ever it really is it was too large. In the 50s the number was about 600,000 and rose steadily until the late 80s where 6,000,000 was sort of agreed on and it has stayed there for some time (15 years or so now.) But you've gone and upped it to 12,000,000 which is interesting. I wonder if when my son is in school that will be an accepted number. I wonder if you've statred the latest revision of history.

    I wonder if in the 6th grade (some 10 years from now) my son will be taught that Americans flew the planes into the WTC. I'm sure you think that, or at least secretly wish it.

    As for you other ridiculous charges -- I like Freedom of Speech plenty... I don't like what these people did. I have that right; right?

    I don't know or care where you were on 9-11 but read my old 9.12-13 posts to find out where I was and what went down by me and perhaps my "conservative" views won't seem so wacky.

    Most of the folk who've been through a war will tell you it is no fun, a horrendous experience and well, Hell.

    Yet we humans continue to have them. Humans, as a race, not as individuals like war or we'd stop doing it. Prove me wrong.
