  1. Re:PS cubed on IBM To Make CPU For Sony's PS3 · · Score: 1

    I didn't ask how much. #8^P
    Anyway, you've just reminded me of Irn-Bru, which i can only get smuggled into this country. Hmmm, Irn-Bru, Salt & Vinegar crisps & Cola Bottles. Drool...

  2. PS cubed on IBM To Make CPU For Sony's PS3 · · Score: 1

    So, IBM provide the chip for Nintendo and IBM provide the chips for Sony.
    I want IBM to provide a system that plays Nintendo & Sony games, by licensing the technology from both parties. Panasonic are providing a licensed GameCube(which looks like a Radio Alarm clock), so I can but hope.

  3. Re:Honk if you love Douglas Adams on Dr. Who To Come Back To The BBC · · Score: 1

    The parts of Shada that were filmed were released on video(in the UK), with Tom Baker providing segues and links in parts there was no film. The Shada story is pretty similar to the first Dirk Gently novel.

  4. Re:Orbital's cover of the Dr. Who Theme on Dr. Who To Come Back To The BBC · · Score: 1

    There's a live version of 'Doctor Look Out' on the CD Single for Beached. I can't remember if it's the 12 minutes long version with Chime, but I don't think it's the same as on The Altogether.

  5. Re:Morrison's Grave/Microsoft on OSX/Win2K Deathmatch · · Score: 1

    I hadn't thought of it that way. Now that you mention it, the sleek dynamism of Wilde's grave in comparison could easily represent W2K vs. OSX...

  6. Re:duh... on OSX/Win2K Deathmatch · · Score: 1
    The body of Jim Morrison and the lease to his grave in france
    If they did own the plot, perhaps it wouldn't look so horrible. In the same Cemetary lies Oscar Wilde, and it is one of the most beautiful graves I have seen.

    Je suis Anglais.

  8. Actually... on P2P vs. RIAA: RIAA Wins · · Score: 1

    His usage is correct. It is a quote attributable to Alphonse Karr from the book Les Guêpes, IIRC.

  9. Re:Playing devil's advocate... on Building a Plutonium Memorial · · Score: 5
    The question is, "Who on earth would want a pile of plutonium in their back yard?"
    Me. How else am I supposed to get superpowers?
  10. Re:how hard is this: on Organic Screens, Coming Soon · · Score: 2

    Have you seen eXistenZ? You need one of those adaptors.

  11. Re:speak for yourself on The Art Of The Matrix · · Score: 2
    I'm a fan both of the film and of Geoff Darrow (anyone not read Hard Boiled, written by Frank Miller? Sheer excellence),
    Since no-one else seems to have mentioned it, I think if you are considering buying the Matrix book, don't do it. Get Hard Boiled instead(if you haven't read it), it's very impressive. The detail in the art is sublime, and you really can't go wrong with a Frank Miller story. I only picked it up last week, but I was kicking myself for previously overlooking it.
  12. Re:Superman:Red Son on Following April Fool's Day Around The World? · · Score: 2

    He is already writing Ultimate X-Men, IIRC. However, as you state it seems like part of a Grant revamp of the X Continuity, which is convoluted to say the least.
    I think Millar was picked up for the X gig on the strength of a 'Marvel Elseworlds' about a year ago, which was an alternate take on this and various other Marvel characters. This isn't Millar's first Marvel work though, you need to go back to Skrull Kill Krew co-written by Grant Morrison.
    With Earth2, I think it was Frank Quitely's artwork that rounds it all off, it looks wonderful. I might be biased though, I used to live with a stone's throw of all of the aforementioned. That Grant Morrison is a weird looking guy...

  13. Superman:Red Son on Following April Fool's Day Around The World? · · Score: 3
    Blockquoth Dave The Drunk:-
    I suspect my favorite is from The Age newspaper in Australia, citing The UK Guardian in an article of some humor claiming that Superman is communist and Batman should be a terrorist.
    Sorry, it's real. Mark Millar has been working on the Red Son storyline for what seems like several years, but it is an 'Elseworlds' tale for DC with Superman as a Communist and as mentioned, Batman as a terrorist.
    Currently Millar is working on the ultraviolent Authority & Ultimate X-Men. That's a pretty elaborate April Fool.
  14. Re:They're marketing it all wrong on Whisperings from Indrema · · Score: 2
    Maybe they could team up with Sky TV in the UK to try and get an Indrema embedded in every Sky box - Sky are already offering TiVos for their subscribers.
    If any console is embedded into the digibox, it will be the Dreamcast, considering Pace are one of Sky's main suppliers, and they are the ones teaming with Sega.
    Also, I was under the impression that the MySky/TiVo package wouldn't be available for another few months, as you need a new dish(with multiple transponders) to use it.
  15. Re:would this have been different.. on Scientologists Force Comment Off Slashdot · · Score: 2

    If you really want to know, why not go and get the text from one of the links above and post it here?

    Where else could Napster thrive?

  17. Re:I would have loved networked arcade games! on Sony In Deal For Networked Arcade Games · · Score: 1

    If that's what you're after, try Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast.

  18. migrating birds on the sun on Sun Flips Its Polarity · · Score: 1
    but all those migrating birds on the sun must be used to it already.
    Huh? You do know that pokemon aren't real, yeah?

  20. Re:MS will exploit IE, and that will push users aw on Eight Tenths Of A Lizard · · Score: 2

    You can turn off animated gifs in IE. In options, advanced (or somewhere similar), turn off 'play animations'. No more dancing baloney. Javascript can also be controlled from somewhere similar. The functionality is there, but as with most MS products, it's not easy to find.

  21. Shielded Enclosures on NSA Reveals Some Tempest Information · · Score: 2

    This one is especially interesting. Finally, I have plans for protective headgear that the spooks can't penetrate.

  22. What are they doing with those mice? on Fiber-Optic Worms · · Score: 3
    Little is known about the sea mouse but its spines are exciting physicists
    Hmm, spiny for enhanced Physicists pleasure?
  23. Re:Jesus ... now every dipshit on earth will want on Boogie Bass Hacked · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I was thinking along the lines of getting it to say 'Your mother sucks cocks in Hell' and donating it to a Jumble Sale/Church Bazaar.

  24. Re:no platform games ? on The Top 15 PC Games Of All Time · · Score: 1

    That only worked on the Software Projects version, IIRC, not the bugbyte one.

  25. Re:Narrowband hell on The Top 15 PC Games Of All Time · · Score: 1

    What, no Bullfrog games? Surely some mistake?
