  1. Re:Maybe an age thing? on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    Yes, Harvest Moon is a series of games where you run a farm, there's an optional romance subplot, and has scripted events.

    I think the original SNES version was very good, but the sequels have been mediocre.

  2. Why bother buying companies on Microsoft Buys Ad Firm for $6 Billion · · Score: 1

    when they are perfectly capable of doing their own marketing in-house?

  3. Re:...has yet to succeed... on Bosworth On Why AJAX Failed, Then Succeeded · · Score: 1

    Oh, please. It's pretty rich seeing someone advocating AJAX complain about Java's speed. Just how responsive is the standard interactive AJAX application when compared to Swing? It's not even close. Not to mention Javascript being just about the worst language for any computationally intensive task.

  4. Re:Your thingie is not inteligible on Write Portable Code · · Score: 1

    I think that would be much more natural to just specialize the template for 64 bit types. Using sizeof to figure out the type in a template seems pretty ugly. Templates are supposed to be type-agnostic.

  5. Re:Encryption isn't Immunity on CIA Researching Automated IRC Spying · · Score: 2

    You can't brute force the key for a one time pad, dumbass. The set of all possible keys cooresponds to all possible messages (of a certain length), so it's impossible to discover which key is the right one. One time pads are unbreakable. It's just that they require a secure channel beforehand.

  6. Re:Trashmen's New Song on RMS Says Hurd Could Be Loosed in 2002 · · Score: 1

    that's one of the least funny things i've heard in quite a long time.

  7. Re:Sex was a forbidden topic... on No Slump For Sex Online · · Score: 1

    are you kidding? love line has been on for like fifteen years (with various co-hosts, but always with dr. drew)

  8. Re:Tenchi vs Gundam Uncut... on Blue Sub #6, Outlaw Star, And Tenchi, Oh My! · · Score: 1

    actually, I've seen nudity on American Movie Classics, but it's always artistic and usually during a rape scene .. btw, I thought that they were supposed to censor the nudity in Japan?

  9. THIS IS A HOAX!! on PSX2 Memory Card Recall Ordered · · Score: 1

    There was no recall. Dailyradar contacted Sony -- it's just a hoax.

  10. Re:How CG is CG? on Final Fantasy Movie Trailers · · Score: 1

    actually, Square's said on previous occasions that they're doing all the textures themselves. They've got the motion capture and voice acting thing going, but there still is quite a lot of stuff being done by artists so I think this qualifies as computer-generated.

  11. Re:Obligatory Pedantic Grammar Post on Homebrew Development for the Dreamcast VMU · · Score: 1

    >Strangely enough, Webster's doesn't even display
    >that "other" meaning when you search for "cum".

    That's because come is a Latin word. It means "with".

  12. Re:No screenshots?! on Verge2 GPLed · · Score: 1

    It's difficult to take screenshots in mzx because it edits the ascii fonts to make its graphics. I don't know of any screen capture programs that can grok this. Fortunately, some screen capture code was added into the new version, so we should start seeing some screenshots on the sites soon.

  13. Megazeux also GPLed on Verge2 GPLed · · Score: 1

    I should take this opportunity to point out that Megazeux, another game creation system, has also been released under the GPL a while ago. Megazeux has quite a large following despite its dated technology. more information --
