  1. Re:engaging immersive on XBOX 360=Dreamcast 2.0? · · Score: 1

    I'm so used to the first 3 burnout games (damn them for ditching the Gamecube after #2) that Revenge is quite hard because I instinctively avoid cars or slip between them instead of taking them out.

    You forgot Planet Ten.

  3. Re:It doesn't matter if it sucks on Castlevania On the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Maybe they will call it Belmont. Or maybe Castlevania Belmont, it kinda has the sound of Napoleon Dynamite.

    Soldier was fun.
    They take pains to tell you exactly how many guys are in a unit, and how many will be sent after him.
    Then you can count as he takes out a far greater number of guys then the quoted amount.

    Lots of drinking game opportunities as well.

  5. Re:USPTO Broken on USPTO Issues Provisional Storyline Patent · · Score: 1

    This story has been done in some crappy religious comic book (full color marvel level quality) back in the early 80's.

  6. Re:You may want to experiment with your food intak on Programming and Dieting? · · Score: 1

    I find exercise more effective first thing in the morning before I eat. AFAIK your body starts to pull from energy stores faster because overnight you burn off a good amount of whats roaming in your system.

  7. Re:Fairly simple, effective solution on When "Lifetime Warranty" Memory... Isn't · · Score: 1

    From seeing it in action in Ohio, they have 30 days to pay up. Then the court will step in and take action. I've never seen someone not pay, so I don't know the steps the court takes.

  8. Re:Right on with rsync on Top 10 Items in the Linux Admin Toolkit · · Score: 1

    Have you run into the problem of working with large numbers of files in a single directory (say 25K or more)? Have you found a work around other then making sure there are less then that many files in any directory?

    Good thing there are free/open simulators and a well documented language then.

    So they just need to create ISOOffice and ISO Source software ;-)

  11. Re:I wonder on SCO Tells Courts What IBM Did Wrong · · Score: 1

    I thought the OS/2 version of JFS did not replace JFS on AIX but became JFS2 on AIX.

    More like old-school cylon. ! is a motion blur of the eye light thingy. I think for Robocop (Or Jordi LaForge) you need |-)

  13. Re:Why? on SCO Tells Courts What IBM Did Wrong · · Score: 1

    Thats because no one is asking to download him on P2P networks.

  14. Re:What Next? on SCO Tells Courts What IBM Did Wrong · · Score: 1

    The version of OS/2 JFS that made it to Linux was also ported to AIX as JFS2 AFAIK.

    we should team him up with Casshan. The more heros who fight robots the better.

    "We will probably end up with self-reproducing robots not under our control before the robots become sentient. That should give us the first scare (possibly last one) when we face a nano-machine pandemic."

    The animated version is a travesty. The proper thing to do is to read it to your electronic devices at bed time.

  20. Re:Stupid on Gene Found In Black Death Survivors Stops HIV · · Score: 1

    "Where is leprosy?"

    They call it Hanson's Disease these days. It is a bacterial infection so it can be treated with antibiotics.
    From a fact sheet:
    Leprosy is a bacterial disease of the skin and nerves, which can progress to involve internal organs if it is not treated. In some forms of leprosy, the upper airway (nose and throat) may be affected. Leprosy is more common in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America than it is in the United States. Most cases in the United States occur among immigrants and refugees living in California, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Texas, Puerto Rico, and New York City.

  21. Re:Probably as close as we'll get... on Gene Found In Black Death Survivors Stops HIV · · Score: 1

    Add to your list being raped by asshats that think they can magically be cured of HIV if they have sex with a virgin.

    IMO the Catholic church and local governments are to blame for being asshatted and letting dogma create a health disaster. I'm not saying they are spreading the myth about virgin rape cures HIV, but that they impede or denounce things that (since people are not going to stop having sex) prevent the transmission of disease. Even black communities and organizations in America have been bad about discussing sex and disease. I don't know if religion is a big part of that reason or something else culturally prevents people from discussing these health issues.

    Ahh, I see. I have scripture and historical referances that place the age of the world quite beyond 6K years.
    Shoot 3K years (roughly) ago was the start of the Kali Yuga (the fourth age of creation).

  23. Re:Braiiins question on How Zombies Work · · Score: 1

    The comedy sequels to Night of the Living Dead (Return, Revenge, etc) is where they started getting all vocal. It's also where the quote "Send more Police" came from.

    AFAIK the flood was a fairly localized event (from a scientific standpoint) from the ruins that have been located under water. Even if it was larger, the time frame for it vs. fossil records AFAIK (and if you can point me to some evidence of the match I'd appreciate it) don't match up.

    How did the flood kill off air breathing things the live in water?
