Before this movie, I never realized that everything in Washington DC has a blue tint, everything in Mexico has a yellow tint, and
everything else is normal. Oh... Wait... They dont have tints. WOW
Another Microsoft Failure
ummmmmmm you might not like Microsoft but they don't really fail too much. Especially when you consider that they have 98% of desktop OS share.
I hated it when the astronaut jumps from the little maintenance drone back into the space station

Mir Mir Mir
what have yee become?
lifeless, dormant, useless
much like Iridium
Reeking of sweat
wiped from a brow
designed for Russians,
and not those American sows
At first a triumph
followed by fear
then liability
and fourth a sneer
from those pesky Americans
and their giant wallets
I longed for some Cold War
and the restrictions on mullet
for then surely we could of got mir2 out of the closet
But woe, this is not to be!!
and like Nero in the flames of Rome
a tear graces my cheek
as I lay down to bed hoping it won't land on me
Does anyone know the story surrounding goatse.cx, i mean what kind of idiot does that? Who's site is it and WHO IS THAT GUY!?!?!?(no its not my dad so don't even bother!!)
Maybe Jon Katz should spend some hours investigating something worthy of a/. post...
He forgot to include the need for time wasting games, like freecell, solitaire and of course Minesweeper! The 3 most played games in the world!
I'm a strong believer that the fostering of procrastination can only lead to more fun.
I don't see why Germany would ban "Mein Kampf". I mean it's a part of history. Just because it is a racist book doesn't mean EVERYBODY will start goose stepping to Wagner! Neo-Nazi's will be rascist whether they have the book or not so I see their laws as totally Draconian!
History, and what comprises history, should never be supressed no matter how horrible or guilt inducing it may be to recall.
The better technology gets the more it frees us, yet at the same time allows governments to monitor people better!
Back in the mail days no government could ever read your mail (unless they knew who you were) cause it was logistically impossible to look through every letter looking for certain phrases. Today you can send the same message 10000% times faster yet you lose the security aforded by snail mail. Weird!
I always thought Nintendo's Gameboy was amazing considering it's ten years old and all Nintendo has done to it is add color.(yes GBA is coming)
But not too many ten year old console game systems can still make dump truck loads of money!!!
Is it proof that game play is more important than graphics?
Sports are not only good for physical exercise, they are also good for social interation. It teaches you team work and the self-disipline needed to show up for practice and to try. Even if you are not physically gifted you can find a sport to play, I have friends that fit this catagory and they still play soccer and martial arts. This isn't to say sport has downsides, what doesn't, but it has a far greater usefulness that just for the physical side of life. And if we want to compair it with video games then I shall start laughing now.
Maybe the President of the United States in 40 years will be a kick ass Quake III player, that would be cool! Forget about READING BOOKS or going out side TO WALK it is obvious that the skills gamers are learning today will allow then to conquer the world in the future. They will be so unstopable even the Borg will be brought to their knees!
There is a reason America has the highest child obesity in the entire world. It is partly to do with diet and it is partly to do with sitting on their asses playing Pokemon. Please tell me with a stright face that playing Pokemon will give me life skills my employer is looking for.
"So your resume says you have 700 hours of Pokemon experience...sorry we need people well versed in Quake 3 and SIMS...flying an airplane needs the type ingenuity that these games teach you to be competitive in the 21st century"
WHAT A LOAD!!!!!!!!
Can everyone afford a blazing fast computer? There is a reason console games shit kick the amount of PC games sold. The console user base is much greater than the fraction of the people with computers fast enough to run the best PC games. Furthermore Dads and Moms would be much happier to spend a couple hundred on a console and have it last 4 or 5 years than spend a couple grand on a gaming computer only to have the kids whining about more RAM in 18 months.
Consoles may be competitive against $1500+ PCs, but we are getting to the point where a top-of-the-line gaming console costs more than an
entry-level PC.
No this is not the case. PS2 (which is a DVD and game machine) will retail for $450 or less once the insanity dies down. $450 computer.....ummm anyone want a p166?
When we start getting 3d video cards in those cheap PCs it will be very hard to justify buying a limited machine only for games when one can
get a general purpose computer capable of playing the same games.
PC games will always need cutting edge computers and video cards, which in turn will always keep the costs high.
Well the friend of me said that largely the porn
you find on internet is in space in satelites so if the satelites fell from the sky like a bird sick from a rock would that stop me from getting the porn?
So what your saying is you against the 'kill -9' process? As the supreme court has ruled many times the 'kill -9' process is a decision to be made by a woman and her doctor, not by some ape like Unix guru.
The newsreader seemed TO BOG DOWN SO BADLY. Just switching between posts took considerable disk access, while im on a slow computer it's 20 times slower that my old Netscape newsreader. It's a shamebecause page display has been sped up.

You must realize that you are the 0.001% of the population that will a) not go to a mega store to buy a computer and b)able to build one your self.

This isn't what you call biting or funny...that will be left up to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Unless your really good with scissors have fun fitting a CD into a machine that takes SMALLER CD'S!

I LIKE SEX!
Uhhh remeber Atari, NES, SNES, GENESIS? They were sucessful and you couldn't copy them...
