    FWIW, I concur... but the similarities in your initial comment jumped out at me and I couldn't resist the lesko reference.

    uhm... either i'm clarivoyent... or I skimmed over that part =P ... Sorry. Do I get an out because I said to not get on "infogames" case when we were discussing infogrames???

    We'll see, I'm probably off base...

  7. Re:Remember... on Infogrames Serves Civ3 Fans With Cease and Desist · · Score: 1

    Apparently not in Germany... check out the whole Killustrator fiasco, and see what I mean... Adobe didn't send the cease and decist (which is a term i use in a general, rather than a legal sense as IANAL) an "ambulance chasing" law firm did well within the bounds of the established practices of German law (apparently)

  8. Remember... on Infogrames Serves Civ3 Fans With Cease and Desist · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is in germany... and that something similiar (opportunistic lawyers using a german law to fatten their own wallets)

    see what happened to Kontour (was Killustrator because of a similiar german lawyer tactic...

    it's like ambulance chasing but for intellectual property... so... don't necessarily jump on infogames case, because they didn't initiate the cease and decist...

  9. Re:Yeah, watching it ruined the plot for me... on New Star Wars Episode II Trailer Out · · Score: 2

    I don't know if george will follow that plot line, but the whole Kenobi vs. Anakin duel where Anakin ends up toasted in Lava is discussed/alluded (albeit briefly) in the Shadows of the empire novel. I kinda really want to see that battle visualized, but george has said on many occasions that he doesn't feel obligated to make the movies "fit" all the novelizations and add-on books out there's universe/explanations/etc...

  11. Jar JAR less phantom menace on Convert Movies From R to PG13 to PG On The Fly · · Score: 2

    Maybe we could use this technology for good instead of evil...

    We could make a more "official" jar jar-less Episode I without scouring (no pun intended) for phantom edit copies/files. Because, jar-jar is truly offensive to me. =P

  12. Re:Duke Nukem on Ask Bruce Campbell Anything... · · Score: 2

    There's a DVD available to they live??? is there such an animal? The VHS was out of print, and I've been waiting for a DVD to be made... (if tango and cash is in DVD format why not They Live? )

    please advise...

    Bruce never says that in Evil Dead 2. I've seen ED 2 so many times that I never have to see it again, and I am 100% certain that line only
    appears in They Live, which I own on DVD, and is a really great campy flick.

  13. Re:Karma Kap on Slash 2.2.0 Released · · Score: 2

    The karma itself does not matter.. you are correct... The parent poster was identifying a "bug" in the code or a flaw in the design of the system/implementation... or more likely a missed/overlooked requirement =P

    If this becomes do-able (i.e. source released, etc...) on the commercial X-box putting it in a stand up arcade box may be a solid idea...
