  1. Re:Hmm... on "Clone Wars" Cartoon Shorts on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    I saw an episode of Samuri Jack the other day, and I don't know how this would turn out to be good except being done by a talented artist... Samuri Jack flailed around for a good 10-15 minutes killing some robots, and in the end the death count was Samuri Jack, flesh wound, and the Robots - 10,000 nonfunctional. Sounds like typical Lucas, 'cept change Jack as Luke and company, and change the robots to Stormtroopers that can't hit the ground they are standing on.

  2. Re:Politics on Shift Calls it Quits · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    May I cite the PATRIOT Act, the DMCA, and the drug war which has heavy restrictions on sedating or depressant drugs yet we have over 20 forms of legal speed available at the grocery store under the guise of dietary supplement, cold medicine and caffeine tablets? This is the new form of the fascist state that now is growing in the States?

    May I direct you here, specifically to the article written by Jackson Mayhem. May I also remind you of the protests that happened months ago where the D.C. police force had buses and plastic ties waiting to arrest certain protesters. Remember fascism doesn't happen over night, but if you look at who's in power you would imagine it already has.

  3. Re:Reminds me of Suck.com on Shift Calls it Quits · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I could care less about the latest war the US has gotten itself into, that's what you get for living in a fascist dictatorship like the States, I just want to see a magazine with front-to-back pictures of women in various juxtapositions.

  6. Call me when.... on Buy a Segway... Please · · Score: 1

    Call me when Segway can hit 200 mph. Why buy a Segway when I can spend twice the money on something that goes 150 mph, and negotiates traffic and pedastrian traffic extremely well. It is called a motorcycle and it has been around for years. What was drugs was Dean Kamen on and where I can get them?

  7. Re:So what.... on Microsoft Going After Hotmail Spammers · · Score: 1
    you've just been lucky. One day someone will harvest your email address and then it'll spread around all the spam lists in the world.

    This happened to me - with my paid-for ISP email account. Some korean got hold of it, now all I get are mails for teddy bear shops and porn in a foreign language.
    I never bothered to use that email account as I had others my friends knew about.

    My hotmail account gets a fair few spams, but not nearly as many as that isp account.

    The moral of this reply - it isn't MSs fault here. Stop being partisan and focus on the real bad guys at least for this thread.

    And the real bad guys would be the Saddam and Osama right?
  8. Re:So what.... on Microsoft Going After Hotmail Spammers · · Score: 1

    I don't know what the hell you are talking about unless you signed up for random crap and didn't read everything when you signed up for the account. I have had my e-mail address for over a year, and I don't get any spam at all. At most I get a monthly e-mail from Microsoft itself that is clearly labeled as coming from Microsofts Hotmail service. I don't even have the paid account I have a regular free account.

    My spam filter is and has been off. I get at most two extra pieces of miscellanous spam from god-knows-where. Compared to my old e-mail on my ISP, which received at least 30 spam e-mails a day.

    The universe is slowly cooling, and will eventually cool to absolute zero (killing all life), or so the theory goes.

    Thus finally allowing Mickey Mouse to pass into the public domain.


    This only works if you actually believe lawyers, lobbyists, and Disney CEOs actually have pulses and are alive. I have an inkling that they may be highly advanced animatronics..
  13. Re:finally! on California EULA Lawsuit · · Score: 1
    I've had this same viewpoint for a very long time. I for one am glad to see someone doing something about it.


    I personally have had this viewpoint for years, and I still can't believe it took this long to bring up a case. Then again I guess the stores pre-bubble burst were in the black a large bit and rather not upset a customer but I am guessing now due to the post-bubble burst the stores are scraping for scraps. The economy is bad, the local Best Buy used to have 3-4 people and once I counted 7 in the computer hardware dept. now it has dwindled to 2.

    Also if this woman takes a settlement, anyone want to get together and start a class action lawsuit and make some money, I am finding it hard as hell to make any money in the tech industry these days, this would be the best chance yet.

    Then again the market is flooded with techies, I am currently working with some girl who is going to a technical school and she said her school promised her a job making at least $70,000 a year, she's in some computer related field, probably graphics or something because she didn't know there was any other operating systems besides Windows and OSX.

  15. What this hopefully will come down to... on California EULA Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hopefully, at least in my mind what this should come down to is that Software and hardware companies will be forced to disclose their license agreements on the box, in font size 12 print, understandable by a sixth grader terms that also are legal tender. None of this hidden 20 page long text that takes a paralegal to understand.

  19. Re:I would love to use this tech. on Hollywood Says No to Filtering DVD Player · · Score: 1
    There are certain movies that are great, but not quite acceptable for my family to watch.

    With a technology like this, you could tell the DVD player what's appropriate for the audience.

    It would be a really great solution to show certain movies in schools too.


    Now you know George Lucas wouldn't like that, he would be royally urked with millions of people turned on the Remove Jar Jar feature, or banned the playing of the first three movies.

    Real human waste is made from... PEOPLE... Ok enough Soylent Green references. Seriously the real human waste is in the cubicle next to you playing Solitaire(actually due to the economy that guy was fired, sorry for the misinformation) and running the country, at least that's my opinion. When it is made out of real humans tell me about otherwise I will make comedy about skiing on shitty snow.

    I know there is the local coffee shop, the local dive bar, the seedy restaurant, and any other place you can think of you might want to visit, and you get to meet these great people and they become your friends and if you don't like them you can just ignore them or tell them nicely. I mean I used to be into MUDs and stuff but it just seems to be another fantasy world, but geared towards soccer moms. What's it for to keep the husbands happy that at least the wife isn't running errands and maybe fucking some other guy, instead she is getting a nice CRT tan and frying away braincells by flirting and cyberfucking some guy over the internet.
