...is that George Lucas is of course incredibly rich and famous, where this Phantom Editor guy is a nobody. Call me when he makes something of his own.
I don't know about you guys, but back in the prime of the X-Files, these guys were as close a role model as I could find on television as a kid
Congratulations! You have won the Sad Award. You are Captain Saddo McSad of the Sad Brigade!
Maybe now you can go and get a life?
By the way. This won't be shown on TV over here for months... If I still watched the X-Files, I might be pissed off about that. Not all the world gets the same TV shows at the same time.
A bunch of people mentioned this fakester. I caught his show when channel hopping one night. "Christ on a bike!", I exclaimed, "This is the kind of bollocks people were routinely debunking as fraud a hundred or so years ago!"
Scott Kurtz of PVP did a brilliant pisstake of this guy at the start of April.
I thought the "Pull the String" line was from another Ed Wood classic, "Glen or Glenda", with Lugosi as the omniescent narrator. Now there's a film once seen not forgotten.
I meant terminally gullible. Oops. Finger trouble. I'm not well.. If you take homeopathic medicine instead of real medicine, terminally could be the correct term here.
To swindle the termianlly gullible by giving them 'medicines' which are just water that once had an eye-dropper of something waved at it. Homeopathy is bollocks of the highest order.
Never heard of the dude. Did come across the Baen Free Library once and didn't see anything on there worth the downloading... It's just a gimmick.
When it comes to pirated books on the internet, here's Neil Gaiman on the theme. Read from Monday April 8th to Wednesday April 10th.
And yes, he's already had the hatemail from 'information wants to be free' freeloaders who like nothing more than to deny people of their income.
Every time I hear about something like this, I can't help thinking that these people are wasting their ingenuity on something completly worthless. If they brought that ingenuity to doing something worthwhile, who knows what they could do...
...is a nutter. Pure and simple. He's right there in the nutter squad with such people as David Icke and Whitley Streiber. Just because they may have found some ruins in the sea doesn't mean these ancient myths are true.
The end result is the most important part. There's no bloody point spending hours writing code if that code isn't actually going to do anything, even if that thing is just flash your name in morse-code on the caps lock light!
Yeah, and what about the LEO?
The Lyons Electronic Office was the world's first business computer, and it was British through and through.
See here and here to learn more about the first ever business application of computing. The foresight shown by Lyons executives in the late 1940s put them way ahead of everyone in the world, and this from a company best known at the time for their teashops.
The words 'cheap', 'water' and 'computer' used in close proximity do not inspire confidence or an incentive to try this mod out. Then I read about the cotton...!
But you can't really call any of the Gran Turismo games realistic, as they don't have car damage. OK. This is not Sony's fault, I gather the car manufacturers wouldn't allow their cars to be seen damaged. Boooo Hisss! But this possibly makes close racing more fun, when you can use other cars as mobile crash barriers to keep you on track round a corner and gain an advantage that way.
But the FS2002 crashes don't look realistic anyway. It just freezes, with "BUILDING CRASH" in a message bar at the top of the screen. Now if you had the damage engine of IL2 Sturmovik, that would be far more realistic.

"Bevare! Bevare the big green dragon..."
There was once a cartoon about these books.
The dialogue ran.
"Men are from Mars"
"Women are from Venus"
"Pop Psychology is from Uranus"
Sums it up perfectly, I think.
Oh yes, PMT buses. When I got the bus from Hanley bus station to Sheffield, I'd buy a period return.
Oh how we laughed.
Geeks organise revolution!
Geeks get head held down toilet bowl and flushed by non-geeks!
And here am I without modpoints to mod this fuckwit down. Insightful my arse!
But don't you just love the way he tries to link the complete bollocks that is 'alternative medicine' to open source to get support?

No no no!
During the 80s, the console on the tardis quite obviously contained a BBC Micro...

Yes, but it's about cats. cat obsession is the last refuge of the crazy woman...

All authors have to eat, and have a roof over their head.
We all want to get money from our costumers
Costumers? You mean these people are running around dressed up as Superman or something?
"Robby, where have you been? I've beamed and beamed"
"I'm sorry Miss, I was giving myself a lube job."
