Stupid corporations. Once we supported AMD because they were the underdogs fighting against Intel. Now that they're doing well, they sell out on us. Bastards. They're just as bad as Metallica.
That's the same as before, then. That's simply not going to do. My Palm's gone 3 months without a battery change.
I don't give a crap if I can play golf in color on a Pocket PC. If I want games, I'll play them on my computer.

I downloaded the trailer the other night. This movie's going to suck sweaty donkey balls.
First of all, I think John Travolta's a fine actor, but horrible miscast here. He doesn't have the menacing presence of an alien leader, and his voice just... it just doesn't work here. And the crazystraws coming out of his nose just don't make him intimidating enough.
Story... okay, how many of these "humans have been enslaved" stories do we have to endure? I don't care if it was the first book ever to run with that idea, I'm sick of seeing it, and if it doesn't bring something new to the table, I'm skipping it.
Dialogue. "After we finish mining out this miserable little planet... let's do the universe a favor! Let's exterminate the lot of them!" Oh boy. Marvel comics can come up with better cliched villain talk than this.
Special effects? Incredibly fake. See the alien chick's tongue? No motion blur. Some of the flying ships look like they were rendered on a Voodoo3 card, with the settings on "fast."
And oh man. John Travolta doing the maniacal villain laughter...
Welcome to the 10 o'clock news. This is your anchor, Webslacker. First, our top story: archeologists today made an exciting discovery when they dug up old relics from a forgotten civilization. The items they discovered were dusty boxes in very deteriorated condition that bore the inscription "Tomb Raider" on them.
Other evidence found around the excavation site has shed little light on what this "Tomb Raider" might be. All archeologists have been able to decipher is that it was an old cultural icon that was long since abandoned and forgotten by early cave dwellers.
I just bought Dream Hunters yesterday, a Sandman story collaboration between Amano and Neil Gaiman. Too bad they can't make the entire FFIX game in Amano's art style. His artwork is fantastic.
Rob, please come back quick! The anti-cubicle? How many times have I seen that here? I can't take any more of these repeated stories! Tell Rob to hurry back from vacation so that we don't have to see old stories reposted here! Er, wait a second...
They mixed up the VGS/VPC thing just like the guy who sent in that last Connectix story to Slashdot. MacOS Rumors does not have any knowledgable sources except for the stuff they swipe off the front page of AppleInsider, and even that's wrong half the time. They're the Apple equivalent of the Weekly World News, they post anything and everything that gets emailed to them, including obvious pranks and fake rumors.
I don't know the guy personally, but from reading all his.plan files he seems really down-to-earth. He's also pretty slouchy in front of the camera. Is that egotistical to you? He's really frank about stupid mistakes he's made while coding, and that comes off to me as a guy who's not concerned with trying to preserve his reputation as a programmer.
What I want to know is... what was Edward James Olmos smoking when he have that Superbowl halftime speech? "Behold! The Sage of Time is with us once again, and reveals before us a tapestry of magic!" I don't know what he was smoking, but it must've been pretty good
The machines being used in AppleSeed are all beige G3 towers with the 66mhz motherboards. Not the G4's, nor even the blue G3's. Also, G4's are $1600 and up, not $2000. The older G3's are substatially cheaper.
For example, what the hell was up with this year's Monster.com commercial? Or that Allegio (or whatever the hell it was called) commercial where they sang "We Are the Champions?" Many of these commercials were funny, but forgot to push whatever they were selling. The one with Christopher Reeves was cool, but the majority of people out there are going to forget what it was for an investment company. Try remembering the name of the company off the top of your head for example.

If you have mirror space you'd like to spare, email me with the info.
Show me some FTP space, I'll show you a 60MB trailer. Email me.
I'm not sure if I can get around this anti-saving stuff, but in case I can, I'd like some volunteers for mirrors.

Sorry, my brain's not working right now.
It's useful for people who browse at 1 or 0
It IS worth it. I usually browse at 2+, so I appreciate it when people shove First Post under the radar.
*SIGH*

That's bullcrap. You can buy 'em legally. Non-regional DVD players cost a bundle, but they're there.
But but but... I bought the strategy guide already! How could they do this to me?
=D

You can switch to the classic Finder view if you want.

It's kinda like everyone got overdosed on South Park after the movie, I'm kinda wary of something like that happening with the Simpsons.
Toy Story 2 is gonna win for best song. Anyone care to disagree with me?

Medea Corp Go check 'em out. A RAID that uses SCSI drives might be faster, but he gets his 30MB/s guaranteed data throughput, so he's happy.
