But would it play a few blocks down from Big Ben or the Parliment Building (two icons of London blown up in the comic book). This is a quazi-serious question. I don't know London
Ok, first off, Burn Hollywood Burn isn't that bad of a flick. It aint great, but I love it non-the-less. It's got a good (re:real) alternitive soundtrack, and it's the film that broke the Alan Smithe story wide open. I recomend anyone who hated the lovely late 90's films that blew up crap for no reason to see this film, and find out the man behind Alan Smithe films is non other than Eric Idle. It makes alot of sence.
Oh, and you also get to see foreplay with a tebetian stone(I know I can't spell, I can barely see right now).
I too am a Executive Transvestite. I just want to throw my two cents in on the whole "Cloud Cross-dressing Adventure"
When I was playing the game, I remember that getting to that damn puzzle and thinking, "Ok, I'm a tv, so this should be easy. Go to the shop, get rude looks from a clerk (if she's old), maybe pick up some makeup, and a wig, and I'm all set." I never knew that I would have to get that damn perfume. The worst part was when a friend came over, and was watching me play, he said something to the effect of "Dude, I thought you knew how to do this." Once again, another point in my life when I should have kept my mouth shut.
Seriously, I would love to see more TV/CD/TS (or the *.*, Transgendered) games, or even just little things. More things like TigerWoods 2004 with the gameface. Or even a stage on DDR where someone is a DragQueen. I know it sounds horible, or cleche, but there is a community of tg's out there. And some of us like to go camp every now and then. And some of you other people do too.
Last thing before my Karma get's bomb from here to infinity, I understand the statements said that Trans community don't belong in the GBL community. I understand, but I like to think of us as the GBL national guard. We show up on the weekends, put on the uniforms, and on monday, back with the suits.
Every time I hear someone mention MDK, I always bring up MDK2. I honestly think I'm the only one who liked the game. Someone. Please, Please, Please agree with me.
I know I'm going to get 0 karma for this, but I just got to say, "Someone reads slashdot, and knows alittle bit about Tori Amos, and it's not just me. I feel like heaven just parted and I saw something cool."
(I put it in quotes 'cuz I actually just said it outloud)
I swear, I have never seen a website for a company/product that has been so poorly maintained than square's I wonder if the new company will be able to find people that notonly reboot the servers, but also ADD CONTENT THAT IS LESS THAN 4 MONTHS OLD!!!!
I looked around the site, and I couldn't find the difference between Rental and Temporary Licence. The reason that I ask is that if there is a difference between Temporary Licence, (such as what Microsoft is doing with the XP line), and a rental of a program to play games with(such as with all console video games). But then again, IANAL.
Amen to that. I know this is one thread that is going to be a long one, and I'm a little late for it, but here goes without reviewing Dogma...
I spoke with some of the protesters when I saw dogma. It was an interesting time. I'm not known to shide away from conflict, hell, even Kevin protested his own movie. It's somewhere on www.viewaskew.com. I spent many a night speaking with people who thought that Dogma was just a big middle finger infront of the popes face, which it's not. Somepeople even had inteligent thoughts on why it shouldn't be seen by them. Intersting enough, some of the plackerts(sp?) that they were using looked vagly familure to the abortion office montage. Very Funny.
One onlast note, I was interviewed by a news crew that night, and I said something that I deeply want to forget. While searching for an adverb to use with heracy, I came up with "HAIRYTITICLE". That inspired laughs, and I realised that I would have to wait a little longer until I get my 15 min.
Well, enough of that, about the flick, it was great to see it, sad to see it go. Just a word of caution to all would be reviewers that view just the trailer and not the movie, people like Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com. Don't watch what you don't get.
After a short vacation from work, my cubical was decorated with 23 post-it notes. How Fun!!! Each one had a different "Virus" name on it.
Well, I simply went to Cert and Norton's Virus Site to find out what was spoof, and what was true. And the next day, my Supervisor got a treat in his cube, all 23 post-it notes with the url from the respective place declaring it as a hoax. That was fun. And you know what, I have yet to see another post-it note in my cube again.
On another note, I used to work for Office Max. And yes, I did tell people when I thought what they were discribing sounded like a virus. What did I tell them? Pick up a copy of a virus scanner, buy or download off the net, I didn't care. But I told them to do me one favor. Tell me what came of it. If they told me it didn't have a virus, then I told them to send it in. If they did have a virus, I kept a log of what virii were in town. And you know what, people still didn't believe me when I told them I don't have a virus scanner. And I use Win98, Win2k.
(I know it sounds like I'm patting my self on the back, but trust me, there are good salespeople out there who are not just looking to make sales. So listen to what they say, and don't be an idiot. Some know what they are doing. Now that I'm done ranting, and raving, and this is moded down, I might be able to view the story)
but WHAT!!?!?!?!?!?! Attack of the clones? you got to be kidding me. Please god, let this be a fake title, and not the real one, like Blue Harvest. Has George gone of the deep end. Maybe, wait, I've got it... George has been cloned, and this is a way for his kind to get the recognision they deserve. Oh well, atleast we wont have an actor have his face placed on everything episode II related, and give him only 10 min. of screen time. Now it's going to be 1,000,000 actor(would that be an "s" at the end) with their face(once again, is it a multiple roll?) on everything II related.
why not use e.coli in the laundry detergent. that way, when shirts start moving on their own, (and beileive me, I seen it), the detergent will take care of them. either that or burn them. the choice is yours.
"Well, at first I thought that Microsoft had finally won the great and mythical prize, So I did what every mac lover/linux user would do, LOCK AND LOAD. I had just went over to Mapquest to find out how I could get to One Microsoft way, andthen it's back. Thank god. I didn't want to have to kill again"
All joking aside, good to have you back, and may your uptime be as long as your burn rate.
Ok, Flame-bait, maybe, but it needs to be said. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU WANT TO CODE SOMETHING??? Ok, if it's a small little 300K program, fine. If its a 900M program(source) then your f**ked. Yes, choice is good. Yes, more choice's means more devlopment. Great. Grand. Perfect. But do you want to be the one stuck in the office for 6-12 months to port something from Gnome to KDE, or open step, or any other of the Window Managers. This is what hurts us, yet makes us stronger. If KDE and Gnome played nice, used the same calls, (maybe in a different order) or did the back end the same but Front end different, then we wouldn't have a problem of, say, Star Office. Ofcource, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
well, it looks like all the view points I had have come and gone. Except this whole thing about "Privacy". Where do we draw the line for private people, and non-private people. Where do we draw the line between "Parody" and "Libel". One way I think it would be possible would be if the person has become a public citizen due to being an expert or comentator on a subject, or commit a crime.
Example:
I am a sports hero, and a comentator on television. I kill my wife. I am tried it a public arena, as with the laws of the land. I am found innocent of charges, yet libel for her death. People publish my home, phone, and location to where I sleep in my house. I am listed as someone who bought my innocence. I am therefore a public person.
Another one:
I am an abortion doctor. I have never given an interview, written a report in a journal, or done anything except do my job. Someone follows me home from my practice, and procedes to get my home address. A bit more research, and they find my phone number though pokeing around in my files at work. They give the information to a website such as Nuremburg Files. Is this fair to me, my children, while according to the current laws of the land, I have done nothing wrong. I just did my job. This is now legal.
What I want to know is if the privacy rulling also apply to the other residences in the house?
And before anyone flames me, or mods me down, just think of what Bill Hicks said about abortion:
"Nothing has polarized this country like abortion. Even my friends who are all intelegent, are devided. Some of them think that these Pro-life Wako's are annoying idiots. Others think of them as evil f**ks. Can't we all just think of them as evil annoying idiot fucks? I mean Pro-lifers killing doctors. Is it just me, or doesn't anyone see abit of irony here?"
Ok, let me set a stage for everyone:
the year, 1993. The place, Borders. The question, What to buy, a copy of 2600, or a pack of Alpha for 3.00?
I bought 2600. So sue me. I eventually found MtG. I thought it was cool. But I wanted the issue more. That's how it is. but enough preaching.
I have gone to schools where MTG is outlawed. I have been kicked out due to the fact I used a pestalence(sp), and vampire deck. I have made many a religous person cringe when they hear me talk. And that was part of the fun. Magic the Gathering was my game, and every geeks game that wanted to piss off the status quo.
I stopped playing the first time I saw a commercial for MTG on MTV. It was a fake game putting "the hammer" against some other guy. With Carson Daley giving the play by play, and screwing up the names. It was a message that I had lost my only means of being 'leet.
I went back in the day I saw Unglued. And it was worth it. I gave my money for a pure fun game. That was the last set I ever bought, and that's the reason I got out and am staying out. It's over folks. Sorry, but admit it. So don't buy boosters for an exorbanant amount of money. Play with what you got, and be happy with that.
There are few books that I let out of my house. This was one. Not because it wasn't informative, or funny, or sad, but that I want more people to read it. That's what was great about the book. I was born when the author creaks by pg.130. But the previous pages were not the only information I did not know. I got to see Woz do the ultimate gag against altair(zaltair), and possibly the worst picture of Bill Gates in exsitance. I encourge everyone who loves computers to buy this book, if only for the nastalgia. Also check out Apple: The Inside Story of Intrigue, Egomania, and Business Blunders isbn:0887309658

true, they are two different jobs, but they aren't that different. If anyone has ever seen "Picasso at the LaPeige(sp)" or read the book, you would see that they are more related than you think.
The book is about one night when Picasso runs into Einstine, and they carry on a conversation which is about "what is Art?" Einstine believs that his works are art, and so does Picasso. So who's right?
Answer: they both are. They were two of the most influental minds of the 20th century.
Now just like artist trying to copy Picasso's works, we have people trying to copy Carmack's works, or Woz's wonders. I believe, and will always aslong as I have a keyboard infront of me, that programers are artists, as are highlevel mathamatitions(sp?) and physists. So to paraphrase me, "if you can do, then show me something I haven't seen before.
