  4. Win2k on Gamers React to Vista Launch · · Score: 1

    Wow, I'm way behind. Everything I enjoy plays just fine on Windows 2k. My next step is Ubuntu & virtual machines, I'll never *ever* switch over to Vista...

    Excuse me sir. What the hell are you talking about?

  6. Re:Hit the core problem first on Schools Act to Short-Circuit 'Cyberbullying' · · Score: 1

    My question is, and I'm being serious, is Columbine HS a nicer, more polite place now than it was pre-shooting?

    One of the stories in Chuck Palahniuk's novel Haunted touched on something exactly like this.

    Not in Texas. Not unless you're an actual certified engineer.

  16. Re:It's a gambit on RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3 · · Score: 1

    Neither Chonopay nor AllOfMP3 are based in the USA. Not only that but I believe that The Netherlands have basically told the RIAA & their cronies to fuck off on more than one occasion. Up until last September AllOfMP3 were operating legally in Russia. I know the laws there changed in September, but I don't know what that entailed for AllOfMP3. Even if the RIAA can get somehow identifying information, there probably won't be able to do anything as no laws were broken. Sometimes (but not often) globalization can actually work for consumers.

  17. Re:It's a gambit on RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3 · · Score: 1

    I don't think AllOffMP3 even has user data. All the billing was done thru a 3rd party (Chronopay) based in the Netherlands.

  23. Re:This isn't about .DWG format itself on Autodesk Suing to Keep Format Closed · · Score: 1

    "Lack of interoperability is a quality problem, not a legal problem."

    Wow, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. You do realize that AutoCAD includes a fully functional VisualLISP IDE to make your own "3rd party" software routines with right? They aren't keeping 3rd party software out, (in fact there are 100's if not 1000's of add-ons & overlays for different drafting disciplines) they are making it so you cannot open your data in anything but their software! It's pretty obvious that you aren't familiar with AutoCAD or how things work in a production design environment. It shouldn't matter what I want to open my *industry standard* DWG format data in whether it's IntelliCAD, DesignCAD or Microstation, it's *my* data, not AutoDesks.

  24. Re:Launch on EU Gamers Reassured by PS3 Preparations · · Score: 1

    You don't really think Nintendo had anything to do with Toys'R'Us selling your online order do you? By the way, the BBB has no teeth.

  25. Re:Nerdcore is pretty good on The Dueling Nerdcore Documentaries · · Score: 1

    I went to see MC Chris with some friends last month. The show was basically 1/2 comedy 1/2 rap, we had loads of fun. Got to talk to MC Chris before the show & he seemed to be a nice, relatively softly spoken guy.
