  1. Re:Surprised Hollywood green-lighted long-term pro on Wallace and Gromit Game Preview · · Score: 1

    correct me if i'm wrong, but i think it is Aardman, not Ardvark

  2. Re:Please say it ain't so!! on Spider-Man Has Back Problems · · Score: 1

    my biggest question was "Where did he get the costume? Costumes R Us?"

  3. Re:Amazon is not really reliable with searches on Amazon Becomes Domain Name Registrar · · Score: 1

    (One was the story of a woman as she approached menopause and how she dealt with her emotion over it. Definitely not sf)

    that really depends on just how exactly she dealt with it..

  4. Re:No! No! No! on Compiling Under Wine · · Score: 1

    dont you have to install windows under vmware? ive always been under the impression that thats how it works. vritual machine, not os emululator

  5. Re:Long-distance communications: on UFO Evidence From SOHO Satellite · · Score: 1

    i have to say, that is a really great idea. perhaps you could set up string 'repeaters' so that you dont actually have to run your string the whole distance. just send your correspondences the short distance to the nearest string repeater. it'd slow things down, but would probably save some string (and lessen the huge tangled web that would eventually become a problem as interstellar travel becomes more frequent.)

  6. Re:Sweet! on Linux Kernel Module For Nintendo Powerglove · · Score: 1

    hmm, mine is a righty. i remember the box said there was a left handed one, tho i called mattel to ask how to get one and they said they never actually made any. apparantly they lied to me :)

  7. Re:Will SFX Overtake Actors? (Yes!) on Talk to a Movie Digital SFX Expert · · Score: 1

    I remember it being Tales From the Crypt, and the whole episode was from Bogarts point of view.. the only time he was seen was in mirror reflections. very little digital compositing was needed.

  8. Re:RESIDENT EVIL!#$&!#()$& on Resident Evil · · Score: 1

    he probably didnt want to spoil the film for anyone who hasnt yet seen it. you dont find out the details of what happened until near the end, i'm sure he knows that. i loved the film by the way.

  9. Re:Product Placement in 2001 on Product Placement in Video Games · · Score: 1

    i loved in Last Action Hero, whent he kid tries to convince the movie characters that they weren't real, he used the 555 thing as a proof (also nabbing arnold the cute blockbuster employees phone numbe rint he process), to which they replied 'zat is wahy ve hav ahrEA co-ODES'

  10. Re:They're not preventing AIM integration on AOL vs. Trillian · · Score: 1

    i beleive it stands for Text Only Client. its what i've always assumed anyways...never actually seen documentation about it

  11. Re:...I'm really disappointed on Review: Kung Pow · · Score: 1

    not to mention High Strung, one of the funniest movies ever made. basically just one guy (oedekerk himself) ranting and raving about anything and evertyhing that bugs him, including watermelon popsicles, ("they actually put SEEDS in the popsicle, what marketing genious came up with this?? Watermelon popsicles, with all the annoyances of actual watermelon"), a character named Happy the Clam, and a breif cameo by jim carrey. if you can find this rent it (better yet buy it, but ive never found it for sale) you'll be glad you did.

  12. Re:i hate to say this.... on Reverse Domain Name Hijacking? · · Score: 1

    gaaaah, my brain hurts after that. too many A's

  13. Re:The impossibility of random compression caveat on Slashback: Squashing, N'Synch, Yopy · · Score: 1

    i was amused by it. you didnt post in vain

  14. Re:Good riddance on The Tick to be Cancelled · · Score: 1

    isnt that "Super" Dave Osbourne?

  15. Re:What to call it? on Microsoft to Introduce GBA-competitor? · · Score: 1

    ahh, Quantum Leap reference, nice.

  16. Re:Better Link on AOL Instant Messenger Remote Hole · · Score: 1

    try gaim.sourceforge.net, it does AIM, ICQ, Y!, MSN, IRC, Gadu-Gadu (whatever that is), Zephyr (whatever that is). in addition to those neat features, it will also balance your checkbook, reuse your postage prepaid junkmail envelopes, shampoo your carpet (and cat if you've got one). seriously tho, all the protocols run on thier own threads, so you can enable/disable them at any time without recompiling, you can also log in/out of specific accounts and whatnot. in any case its very nice, very stable, and very nice.

  17. Re:GBA woes... on GBA Getting Bluetooth · · Score: 1

    oh yeah, it goes for $9.99 USD, ive seen it online as low as $6.99 (course, i just put $20 worth of LEDs into the thing, but hey, i can see now).
    also, flourescent lights work great, my biggest use for the thing is sitting someplace waitnig for something. customer service, food order to be ready, etc.

  18. Re:GBA woes... on GBA Getting Bluetooth · · Score: 1

    i have one of those as well, it was branded a 'TrapLight' and works great. last night i replaced each bulb with 2 bright white LEDs and boy howdy is it nice now. you can move the arms farther away from thier normal upright position and it completely eliminates glare, but lights up my whole darkened bedroom. havent seen how long the batteries last yet, but so far so good.

  19. Re:To be fair... on Star Wars II: Return of the Name · · Score: 1

    woh woh woh, back up...

    the boat SINKS??

  20. Re:Who is at fault for this? on Adobe Threatens KIllustrator Over Name · · Score: 1

    not to mention the Blue Screen of Death could actually kill you...

  21. Re:Disgusted of Hicksville on Really Targeted Advertising · · Score: 1

    i actually saw a commercial for a brand of 'ribbed' toilet paper that they said 'helps keep your whites whiter'. i can only assume it helps "keep your shit from staining your underwear".

  22. Re:But arg format is totally nonstandard and fucke on The Pentagon Discovers dd · · Score: 1

    i always just leave out the of= part, do the tab completion, then move the cursor back and put in the of=. i agree its annoying, but if the path is that long you COULD save some typing.

  23. Re:diablo is a common word on Blizzard Sues Over Diablo Movie Title · · Score: 1

    the rumor i heard is that he used to wear a yellow and black striped sweater, that made him look like a bee. hence, sting

  24. Re:It's even simpler than that... on Blizzard Sues Over Diablo Movie Title · · Score: 1

    you just made my day

  25. Re:keep it all moving on Stuffing Junkmail Postage-Paid Envelopes? · · Score: 1

    I'm curious how many other people clutter up thier kitchen table swith junk mail. (and how many of these people actually USE thier kitchen table for anything other than a junk mail receptacle)
