    I believe Ed Sullivan hosted a really big shoe back in the '60s. He even had a group of four moptops from England on a couple times, I believe.

    To pad the gift even more, he should put in a donation to the Human Fund in their name along with the CD.

  15. Aw man on Best Live Linux For Christmas Giving? · · Score: 1

    Don't bother. Do you think anybody wants a Linux CD as a gift?

    It would be like buying somebody a bible for Christmas!

  16. Re:Defective :( on Nintendo DS Launches · · Score: 1

    Other than that its very large but more comfortable to play.

    I'm finding the buttons on the right side are a bit close together. I'm sure that was intentional to allow the buttons to act as a gamepad for left-handers, but it's a bit cramped.

  17. Re:Well this is annoying on Nintendo DS Launches · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Shit, I also bought the GBA SP a few months ago. I bought it mainly because it's a very easy game system to develop homebrew games on. (See gbadev.org or my web page, above.) At the time, I did not even know about the Nintendo DS. Anyway, I ended up picking up the DS today because it looked too good to pass up.

    I am hoping that the homebrew community can get together and quickly figure out a way to get our own binaries to run on this thing, because as a hacking system, it looks sweet. It's got WiFi and a touch screen dammit! Imagine the games you could develop for it! I imagine you could get Linux to run on this thing and use a virtual keyboard on the bottom touch-screen to input into a terminal.

  18. Re:Or just badger Valve on Transgaming to Support Half Life 2 Under Linux · · Score: 1

    Yeah, man. I'm gonna NOT BUY the shit out of that game!!

    Hell, I keep my enemies on my buddy list.

    Machiavelli, is that you?

  22. Re:A more retched hive of scum and villany... on Tech Giants Bankrolling IP Hoarding Start-Up · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed. What is perverse is that ideas are not born in a vaccuum. To come up with an idea, you build upon the knowledge gained from past innovators.

  23. Re:A company built on patents only? on Tech Giants Bankrolling IP Hoarding Start-Up · · Score: 1

    Yup. Essentially it's protection racket. On the other hand, it's akin to a child whining that he thought up an idea first, so you can't use it.

  24. Re:30 lives on A Brief History of Contra · · Score: 1

    Typing "ABBA" gave you extra lives in Ikari Warriors as well, I think.
