That movie frightens me tho, coz even now, I watch it, and somehow, they made sigourney weaver attractive. Nothing scares a man like being attracted to sigourney weaver...
Think about how many people a nutcase with a gun and a bullet proof vest could take out?
That's a lousy argument. Any criminal who can get a gun can sure get a bullet proof vest. Criminals can get guns, no matter what. Speaking from experience, even in a country not sharing a border with the US, it's rediculously easy. Banning guns only stops accidents and "heat of the moment" crimes. Which is fair enough, but banning the law-abiding paranoid from bullet proof vests isn't going to help anyone.
There's a metric fuckton of jobs that can't be done on linux (anything regarding graphics / multimedia), and most employers simply won't buy you a mac unless they're a mac shop. It's not worth the extra thousand dollars it'll cost them for an equivalent spec machine.
Emotional and marriage problems caused by porn?? Holy befrackin jebus.
Here's a tip: If you love porn, don't marry a woman who hates porn. She will find it. Who wants to spend 50 years pretending you don't like to watch people fuck?
Huh? Dreamcast? The dreamcast wasn't in competition with the n64 and the playstation. It was 2 years too late for that. Funnily enough the playstation2 has better graphics than an n64 too. And yes, I also would prefer any pc shooter to goldeneye if i'm playing by myself, but I'm not a lanner and neither are all but one of my friends, so for playing against regular people i stand by goldeneye as the most fun.
And no, I'm not a rabid nintendo freak, I own a ps2 as well as a cube (dog chewed through some cables on the n64 and i parted company with my ps1 many moons ago)
I'm just thankful for being able to read a blog that has some actual content amongst the anti-bush rants. I just stopped reading most design blogs for the month before/after the election, because I was tired of politics.
Were you playing the same systems as I was? The playstation graphics were horrible. Games weren't even perspective corrected for like 12 months. And the controllers? The only thing i've ever used easier on the hands than a nintendo64 controller is the gamecube controller (tho i prefer the buttons on the n64 one). playstation controllers are great if you've got tiny hands, just as the xbox controllers are great if you're shaq. But the n64/cube ones were awesome.
And don't get me started on goldeneye. Greatest. Mutliplayer. Ever.
Except, lots of people did challenge them. And lost. Because the gameboy was simple, cheap, and ran for hours. Maybe "resting on their laurels" was a good thing for them to do?
And to all the "californians refuse to pay extra for their petrol" posters, are these people are so fucking stupid that they refuse to pay a "gas tax" but they'll pay a per-mile tax that's enforced via gps- and that they'll pay extra income tax / whatever to pay for the gps device??? If so, then perhaps the entire state should be neutered.
Australia wasn't so lucky. Recent studies have all but proven that human hunters obliterated something like 90% of all species in Australia. Partly through over-hunting, but also because of the indirect impact. No food for predators means no predators.
This I'd like to see a reference for. And is it referring to the aboriginals (believed to be responsible for the extinction of the 5" tall wombat), or more recent settlers?
I know it's a radical idea, and won't catch on with the american dickheads who think it's god's will to drive a humvee, but here's a tip: TAX THE FLAMIN PETROL PER LITRE! It's not hard, you can't cheat it as easily as messing with something in your car, it actually taxes the people causing the problems, etc etc etc.... Ferchrissake.... GPS??? Solution in search of a problem much?
If your shoes cost you $9, then nobody's spent a single dollar trying to show you advertising. They don't care about you. They're not paying to show ads to you, they're paying to show ads to someone with AU$220 nikes. If you see some ads as well, then they're happy. But they're definitely not for you.
Yeah yeah yeah. Anyone you ask will say the exact same thing. And yet it's definitely well established that advertising works. Perhaps we're just having ourselves on a wee bit?
Anyone out there got a report on how it runs on an old Gf4 ti4400 w/128mb? I've got plenty of cpu/ram (2.8ghz/1280mb), just don't feel like upgrading my video card. SHould I give hl2 a miss?
Yeah, well if it's eating out of garbage cans or selling dope, I'll be a dope selling 3 meals a day eating kinda guy. If you stand to lose your roof or your full stomach, the threat of a few months in prison isn't really a deterrent.
For example, if China were to decide they didn't like software patents, they could invest in this scheme to reform them.
I imagine china loves the way the patent system is going, as it stifles western innovation. Our patents can't be held against chinese companies unless their government wants them to. If we try and shut down something in which they have a vested interest, they'll just tell us to go smoke a cock and there's jack we could do about it.
I've got an iTrip, and the quality blows. It's not a solution. For my car, I'm just going to rig up a line in direct to an amp, powering some old 7"x10" speakers which are left over from my previous life as a ricer.

I always loved that line :)

So I suppose it's asking for too much to hope that we'll grow civilized enough not to kill any animals.
It sure is. I like steak.

Well since it's gotta come out of my vacation time, you're damn right I wouldn't be doing jury duty.
Yeah yeah yeah. Anyone you ask will say the exact same thing. And yet it's definitely well established that advertising works. Perhaps we're just having ourselves on a wee bit?

At least the lead character in kimba the white lion wasn't named "Hemlet" or something like that.

Well since they were pretty much all ripped off The Phantom, I think they should all have a coke and a smile, and shut the fuck up.
Yeah, well if it's eating out of garbage cans or selling dope, I'll be a dope selling 3 meals a day eating kinda guy. If you stand to lose your roof or your full stomach, the threat of a few months in prison isn't really a deterrent.
You want duke nukem manhattan project. A bit old now, but still cool. It plays a lot like the old 2d duke scrollers.

Personally, I'd rather starve in the street than go one minute in jail. I couldn't bear the shame
Spoken like somebody who's never starved on the street.
