  2. My only question: on Gen Con Indy 2005 In A Nutshell · · Score: 1

    Are there any girls there?

  3. As someone who works in the game industry... on Gaming Industry Engages in a Bit of Nostalgia · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...just let me say that after the first couple of weeks, the high pay, short hours, easy pace, hookers, and free pot really start to get old.

    There are days when I wish I could get my old job at the slaughterhouse back.

    Just sayin'.

  5. Re:Risk your life for Garbage?? on Discovery Prepares for Return · · Score: 1

    It cost so much to get the pre-garbage up there... shouldn't we be looking at ways to recycle trash in orbit?

    Cradle to cradle has some interesting ideas on designing items so they never truly become garbage, they just get fed back into the manufacturing process.

    Nice troll.

    Your sig says you're ready for the Rapture. It's easy to not give a flying fig about the environment when your ideology says you're going to be transubstantiated into Heaven when the End Times come.

    The rest of us would at least like a nice, clean place to do battle with the minions of the Antichrist while you're hobnobbing with Him.

    So buy a Prius for the people who aren't raptured on the first round.

  9. Re:So on Supreme Court Rules against Grokster · · Score: 1

    Thomas Jefferson was not a Federalist; rather, he was a Republican and upon becoming President tried to unite the groups.

    Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican .

    The Republican party didn't exist until 1854, some 28 years after Jefferson's death.

  10. Obligatory Indy Quote. on Drawing uncovered of 'Nazi Nuke' · · Score: 0

    Nazis!

    I hate these guys.

  11. My oh my. on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    There goes my plan to cash in on a bunch Malaysian TLD URLs when Longhorn is released.

    Ah well, it was a myopic business plan at best.

  12. Run it through: on Funding Promised for Trips to Moon, Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    I just ran the quote through my Dave Chapelle translator:

    House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Tuesday the space agency will have the necessary funding to send astronauts back to the moon and to Mars.

    Comes out:

    We're going to Mars, bitches!

  13. Re:heh on Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm just glad they snuck in a Willhelm among all those screams.

    Parent is referring to the Wilhelm, a sound effect that sound artists seem to stick into every film they can as a joke.

    From the above linked article:

    The Wilhelm has punctuated the death and dismemberment of dozens of characters in some 20 to 25 movies, particularly in those associated with George Lucas. With appearances in some of history's biggest hits, from Star Wars to Raiders of the Lost Ark to Toy Story, clearly this sound gets around.

    Listen to the RealAudio of the Wilhelm article.

  14. Green Web Hosting Services on Green buildings, Green Server Farms? · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you're not interested in running your own alternative-energy IT setup, you can always outsource it:

    Solar Hosting uses renewables (i.e. solar, hence the name) to power all their web servers.

    Looks like they offer a complete solution package, from web design to hosting.

  15. cute slideshow. on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 5, Funny

    You've gotta be a speed reader to read each mini-article at the slideshow's default speed. What dope at Forbes decided how fast his readers should read?

    That slideshow could make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.

    OpenRAW certainly would apply to goatse.

  17. Re:Bad. on Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill · · Score: 1

    As much as I am for civil rights and gay marriage, this is inflammatory. Just because Microsoft changed their stance from pro to neutral (not against), this makes them bigoted? I don't buy that. I don't buy that at all.

    From TFA:

    Some proponents of the legislation expressed shock and anger at the company's decision, characterizing it as a capitulation to extreme social conservatives that appeared to run directly counter to the company's internal policies which stress diversity and are considered gay-friendly; Microsoft, for instance, offers domestic-partner benefits.

    They changed from pro to neutral after being threatened with a boycott from a single pastor.

    Cowardly, to say the least.

  18. Needs to be point and click. on Bastille Adds Reporting, Grabs Fed Attention · · Score: 4, Funny

    The download instructions for OSX were a little intimidating, even for someone like me with basic Unix skills...

    Once Bastille for OSX becomes completely point and click it will take off like Jean Valjean after stealing a loaf of bread.

  19. Re:Script Kiddies in Uniform on U.S. Military's Hackers · · Score: 1, Informative

    According to TFA, the main task of JFCCNW is to bring down websites that don't portray America in good light.

    It is going to be more of a PR-damage limitation excercise than anything else. And a good way to spend millions of taxpayer money.


    Until they start going after opposition sites like Daily Kos or Eschaton because they're critical of the current administration. Collateral damage in the War on Terror, you know.

  20. Re:Energy requirements on Flying Cars Ready To Take Off · · Score: 1

    Perhaps (if you are one of these global warming nimrods) you could argue that we need to produce less CO2.

    First, let's define "nimrod".

    Then, let's see what the nimrods at the Union of Concerned Scientists have to say about global warming.

    Don't overlook the science on the issue.

    Actually, from TFA:

    However, Google does have one caveat in its upload terms: "The video must not contain pornographic or obscene material."

    I hope Google doesn't get to decide what's "obscene."

  22. Wrong product name. on New Photoshop Details Leaked · · Score: 4, Informative

    Oops. Looks like Adobe accidentally let slip the details of the next PhotoShop version due on Friday. According to BetaNews, the next version, dubbed PhotoShop CS2,
