    or instead of being a complete asshole to your kid, why not try teaching him about respecting others belongings

    Because it's well documented that children don't psychologically develop enough skills in empathy to do such a thing until they're between at least 3?

    I believe babycolor on the apple ][ might be prior art :)

    I remember my little brother playing that when I could convince dad to hook our //c up to the tv in order to get colour.

    Of course it is. If I don't want my kids watching it, but you don't mind your kids watching it, it's because you're a lousy parent, not because I'm a religous nut. Jebus told me so.

    This is like the kid whining after he gets a new bike, because the neighbor got a better one.

    That's the american way. It doesn't matter if you got what you paid for, if somebody else gets more, you want more!

    AVP Wasn't bad if-you've never seen any of the predator / alien movies.

    IT'S IN THE FUCKING SNOW!!!!

    Predators hate the cold. They only EVER come during heatwaves. This was well established in the movies.

    How exactly does the predator leave behind his arm bomb? We know it doesn't work when not attached to the suit (thanks danny glover) and since when was the predator a "leave the bomb behind and run away" pussy?

    And how did the queen alien become some jurassic park leftover when we weren't looking?

    The whole face hugger -> full grown alien transition gets shorter and shorter too. Unless of course it's in a predator and you want to have a "sequel hook" ending.

    I've never met a pothead who's never bought at least an ounce at once for a party, or for a week. It just makes more sense to do that than buy it by the rigger. Doesn't mean you deserve to get "effed in the a" by some rapist / murderer. America is seriously fucked up.

    All of them. I'm working on a pc that cost about AU$500 not counting the screen (which is a POS worth maybe $90). It's a 2.6ghz machine with half a gig of ram. A bottom of the line emac with a crt is $1300, with a similar performing cpu and half the ram.

    There go my mod points....

    64bit is not (just) about address space agnabbit. The pentium 2 (and maybe pro) and above have a 40(48?)bit address bus. The 64bit mode of these processors has a shedload of gp registers, and non sse instructions can mess natively with 64bit numbers, this is where the benefits come in.

  24. Re:I don't understand some people's stubbornness on Some iPod Fans Dump PCs For Macs · · Score: 1

    Definitely. As a (very happy) iPod owner, I have to have iTunes installed on my pc. And it sucks. It's badly threaded, the interface is horrible (I don't care if it's mac-standard, the windows version should play like windows), and it thinks it should be in charge of everything. No matter how many times I tell it not to, no matter what settings I have in the intellipoint software, every now and then iTunes simply takes over the media keys. Even if I don't start the damn thing, sometimes plugging in the iPod for a charge is all it takes. So I come home, sit down and hit play, and winamp starts doing its thing. Then 45 seconds later iTunes pops up and starts playing. Annoying much?
